Stephanie F Flushing , MI June 26, 2015 Appliance: Admiral Gas Dryer ADG7000AWW Maytag dryer motor pulley broke I put the new motor pulley on and re-attached the belt. I watched a crap ton of YouTube videos and performed what the professionals did. I ate food before the repair so my body would perform as a top ranked athlete. I moved my body in multiple positions between sitting down and kneeling over. I used a soft towel for my knees when kneeling. I asked my wife to "hold this" while I attached the belt. I screamed, "Quit moving it!!!!! (The drum)," while I put the belt around the pulley. I left my magnetic flashlight inside the dryer wall and reassembled the entire dryer before realizing, "Hey!!
