How we confirm it first
The technician opens the cabinet, confirms the belt is broken or slipping, and checks the idler pulley and rollers that often caused it.
What the repair involves
Replacing the belt means taking the drum partly out, so it is the right time to replace worn rollers or the idler pulley in the same visit.
Why it fails
Belts stretch and crack with heat and age, and they fail early when a seized idler pulley or worn rollers add drag.
How to make it last
Don't overload the drum, and replace worn rollers and the idler pulley when the belt is changed so the new belt isn't fighting old parts.
Repair or replace?
Almost always worth it: a modest part on most dryers.
