Default Getting inside to replace my belt.
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 110.? series 80
Age: 5 - 10 years

I have replaced belts before. But... Today I open the top of the Kenmore. Confirmed the belt was broke. Then realized; the back is enclosed, so is the bottom.
So how would I replace the belt.
Do I have to remove the drum?
Is the motor and Idler underneath?

Should I get out the Yellow Pages and call someone else?

If I had an illustration that would help.

Thanks in advance.

You should be able remove the front for easy access to belts and hoses. With your model number we may can find a diagram to look at.

Hey Thanks a Bunch. The link pointed me to some well documented instructions from other people. I was finished in under 45 minutes.

Have a great day.

I have an amiral dryer, which is making a terrible noise, like drying sneakers, and no idea how to take the dryer apart to take a look. Need help, It is only a year and a month and 1[2 since it was purchased, and did not get the extentended warranty. Please help.
