Location of spring, tensioning idler bracket, Simpson Minimax?
I have disassembled my early model Simpson Minimax dryer. I completed the disassembly, virtually in the dark, so I did not see how the tensioning idler bracket is attached by the spring to the body of the dryer. I cannot see an attachent point for the tension spring at the other end from the idler bracket. Can you help me with this.
I think this is the same as my drier. The bracket sits in 2 slot on the mounting plate at the back of the motor (towards front of drier), the spring then connects to the hole in the bracket and the switch in the middle of the drier.
It can be a little tricky to do, but you should be able to get it on your own.
