Default Dryer belt installation

The dryer is a Kenmore 110.86870100 made by Whirl pool.
The belt broke. In the process of disassembling the unit the belt idler
wheel bracket fell off.
I've looked at Repair Clinic and have the belt installation diagrams but I
cannot find where the idler wheel bracket is attached.
Can anyone point me to a picture that shows the position or provide a decent
description of where the bracket goes.

Thanks

Don't you a sketch of how it fastens? It clips into a slot on the
bottom of the dryer cabinet, and the tension with the belt hold it
into the slot. I did this many years ago, it is=n't especially
obvious until you realize that the bracket is held in place by the
belt itself.
