Mend Whirlpool AWZ650 Tumble Dryer Belt Replacement Motor

how do you change belt on whirlpool awz650?

I opened up the dryer and found the belt broken.It takes a belt with grooves and I know where to purchse this but on further inspection
where the motor is at the rear of the dyer it has two spring loaded pulleys.I just cant figure out how to loop the new belt around the pulleys and the grooved motor spindle....Do I have to remove the motor totaly? Pictures on how to do the job step by step would be much appreciated

Hi Tony,
thanks for your input but I solved the puzzle.The AWZ650 has a removable motor cover which allows you to loop the new belt around the motor spindle which makes belt be between the two pulley guides.The width of the drum then pulls the two spring loaded pulleys apart.Its going to take a lot of effort when I attempt this one!!!

Cheers anyhow

it needs to go over the drum 1st then motor then pulley, need to pull belt over just top of one pulley and should fit. will be tight so use a stronger screwdriver to help locate it into place
