    I used your video to fix my dryer. I like the detail you have in your video showing us exactly what to do in each step. I like your extra tips , like the clothes hanger & telling use to roll the dryer all the way around to make sure the belt is put on evenly, also to watch out for the felt. While putting on the belt Our felt got crimped, and we caught the mistake & fixed it. Thank you! Keep making videos!!😀👍

    I watched three other vids before yours. Yours was the only one to use a wire to hold the drum (amazingly helpful) and yours was the only one to show the belt being installed groove side down (Amazon actually had a detail that showed that). Yours was also well filmed and bright enough to see! Thank you, Applianceman!

    Watched another video that looked like it was an official video for the manufacturer, even had a uniform on. He did pretty much everything you did, except he held the drum up with his hand, and made it look much more harder than your trick with the cut hanger holding the drum up. Without that little secret this process would of been much harder. Also your info on the idler pully was spot on. My idler pully was like the one in your video and when I looked for replacement I could not find it, but the one you suggest is the only one that I could find without any explanation, but your video confirmed that I would need the other pully. Also your direction with using gloves was also informative. Much more valuable information than any other video out there! Subscribed!
