I have a GE Hotpoint dryer nvlr223egoww that stopped turning and,
upon disassembly, I discovered that the belt snapped.Â* I'm having a

different belts, which are supposed to fit the model, but one was
way too large and the other is actually a bit shorter than the
original one and still there's too much slack.Â* Any ideas as to what
to check next would be welcome. Thanks.

Â*Â* Is the belt looped correctly around the spring loaded tensioner ?
Some appliance parts websites might have the diagram for the correct
routing ...

Â*No it wasn't.Â* I always get confused be the way the belts are put in
place.Â* 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.Â* It was not
easy.Â* I really only had access from the top and front.Â* I wish I
could have removed a side, but was unable to.Â* 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.Â* I also looked over the
dryer while there.Â* It looks fairly simple and I'm hoping if anything
ever goes wrong, maybe I'll be able to repair it.


Glad I could help . Dryers aren't that complicated , and there's just
not much that can go wrong . I didn't look your dryer up , but many of
them have a front panel that is held on by 2 bolts/screws at the top and
a tab/slot at the bottom . Once the front is off the drum can be removed
for repair and parts replacement .
