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

Charlie

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.

When I got box apart, the wheel was laying on the bottom. Usually, given the
chance I take pix with the digital camera. This is more accurate than my
sketches and also captures colors if needed.

What is the orientation when it is installed?

It just slips into a slot in the bottom of the dryer.

*It just slips into a slot in the bottom of the dryer.

That photo is exactly what they have used for years and years.
