Mend Whirlpool Belt Dryer Tension

Whirlpool AWG230 belt replacement?

Am trying to replace the belt on my Whirlpool AWG 230 dryer. Have replaced belt but no tension (drives drum when empty, but not when loaded). Can't see any spring-loaded idler or method of adjustment. Am I missing something, or have I been sold the wrong belt?

Hi - did you ever either get an answer or figure this out? I have the exact same prob. Looking at videos on YouTube a lot of models seem to have some kind of tensioner - but there was definitely none when I opened this machine!
