How do I replace the belt on my Hotpoint VTD20 tumble dryer?

bit late for you, but someone else might appreciate the amswer, belts are supposed to be very tight, professionals use a special to9ol to put them on the drum, however i used brute force on myt hotpoint vdt00, it took some effort.

If you take out 2 of the screws that hold the drum on & slacken the third one, rotate the drum to allow a bit more movement.Then stretch the belt over the drive shaft. You'll need a bit of muscle power though. I've just done mine,but 2 wires have come off the timer (programmer). You couldn't
have a look on the back of yours & let me know which colour wires go on which terminals.Cheers colincheetham@ukonline.co.uk
