The Blower Belt is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers.

  • Dryer not producing enough heat
  • Clothes taking longer to dry

D.M.Sheara for Model Number MEDG200VQ1

Q1 The Pully Wheel on the blower back off ??? This should not happen as it screws on in the same direction as the blower operation. Loss of the Blower Belt caused the unit to not operate properly. Q2 Trying to reinstall the blower belt is a might difficult, There is no movement between the motor and the blower, the belt is extremely difficult to reinstall. Can heat be applied to the belt to get it to slip into the blower pully wheel??? There is no way to add slack and slip the belt over the pully. Any suggestions. Video not exactly what exists in my unit Thanks.

Answer

D.m. Sheara, The pulley wheel will screw on the same direction as the blower wheel turns and will not come off. For the belt if you put the belt on the motor pulley first and then start it around the blower pulley, you will be able to turn the pulleys and allow the belt to slide into place. Turn it the direction the pulley needs to go on.
