Before you call for a repair technician, you can quickly test the part yourself to determine if it's the source of the issue. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you'll have the knowledge to troubleshoot the problem and get your appliance back up and running.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you find out that you need any replacement parts for your appliance, you can enter your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-find-your-appliances-model-number\/\"><b>model number<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/\"><b>AppliancePartsPros.com<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to order them.

Here are some tips to keep in mind:\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always power off and unplug your appliance or switch off the circuit breaker before attempting any maintenance or replacement work. This keeps you safe by preventing any risk of injury from electric shock.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear insulated work gloves to protect your hands from sharp metal parts, pinching hazards and debris.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take your time and don\u2019t rush while working to prevent accidents and personal injuries.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work in a well-lit area so you can clearly see and access the interior parts.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clear your workspace of clutter and other obstacles. Keep children and pets away from the work area.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never work on internal parts with bare wet hands. Make sure the work area is completely dry.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your user manual to see if there are specific installation or safety instructions for your part or appliance.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be gentle when handling or removing parts. Excessive force might damage the appliance or cause injury.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear safety glasses when working with chemicals, dust or cleaning large debris to prevent injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the appliance has recently been used, give it plenty of time for any heating parts to cool down before working on it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take pictures or make a note of wiring terminals or other connections before disconnecting to prevent any problems with reassembly.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When working with wires, avoid touching any exposed wires or terminals. If you need to touch a wire, use a non-conductive tool or wear insulating gloves to prevent electrical shock.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Testing steps<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unplug the dryer or turn off the circuit breaker.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws at the top of the front panel, just behind the door.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lift the top panel up slightly to clear the console legs, then pull the panel forward. Set the top panel aside.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lift the belt to check for any slack.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the belt has slack, it could be broken or has come off the idler pulley.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the belt stops you from pulling it free, it has slipped off the pulley.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can pull the belt free, the belt will need to be replaced.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there is no slack in the belt, then the issue is likely something other than the belt.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slide the top panel back onto the console legs and rotate the top panel down.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secure the top panel with the long Phillips screws you removed from behind the door.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plug the dryer back in or flip the circuit breaker back on.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional information<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you for reading!
