Some appliance parts websites might have the diagram for the correct

No it wasn't. I always get confused be the way the belts are put in
place. Once I got the threading right, the only other issue was that
the tensioner was caught on a metal part sticking out from the motor.
Once I disassembled again to release that, all went well. It was not
easy. I really only had access from the top and front. I wish I could
have removed a side, but was unable to. I really had to push with my
arm and hand through the small space and at the same time loop the belt
around the tensioner. However, done. I also looked over the dryer
while there. It looks fairly simple and I'm hoping if anything ever
goes wrong, maybe I'll be able to repair it.
