Belt is snapped, how do i replace?
ALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR DRYER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO ANY WORK ON IT.
Sounds like your problem may be a broken belt, or the belt may have slipped off of the motor pulley, or idler arm pulley.
If you have to replace your drum belt and if you have a front loading machine.
Remove the electrical console that holds the timer switch, start switch, etc. from the top of the dryer.
Be real careful not to knock any of the wires off of the timer switch.
Remove the lint filter, and the two screws that hold the lint filter housing to the top of the lid.
Then remove the top of the dryer.
Most lids clip on to the base of the machine, some slide off.
Remove the front of the machine, this will expose the belt and drum, remove
the drum and belt and this will expose the drum rollers, idler arm bracket
with pulley, and motor with pulley.
Pay attention to the route of the belt,this will come in handy when you go
to reinstall the belt and drum.
Sometimes the belt will slip off of the idler arm or motor causing the drum
not to turn.
While you have the drum out, I would recommend that you lubricate the drum
rollers at the shaft of the roller with a good grade of machine oil like 3
in One oil. This will save you a problem later with the rollers getting
noisy, also check your drum rollers for flat spots, if they have flat spots
on them this will cause a noise like a thumping type noise.
You will need to replace the drum rollers if they have flat spots on them.

A few days ago our tumble dryer begun to make a
that could be anything you just have to unplug the dryer and get in there and see what happened,the belt pulley could have failed and jamming up the belt,first off does the dryer start?if so and the drum isn't spinning then the belt could be broke but this says it's a g.e. dryer so this has a safety switch in it that won't let the dryer run if the belt breaks,also g.e. has a rear bearing that fails,did you hear any sounds before like metal on metal,this could be alot of things,there's a front bulkhead with glides on it,i've seen the drum cut through the front of the dryer before, if you write back send the brand name and model number and anything else you heard before or take it apart and see what's up.if the dryer has alot going on with it don't buy another g.e. dryer get a whirlpool.
Indesit is70c ..the dryer heats up but does not dry the clothes
Hi Kristina. Try cleaning out your dryer vent line. Depending on how it's installed, sometimes it can get clogged at the discharge screen outside or if the line is draped under a house or a mobile home.It can develope a belly or multiple bellies depending how it was installed. These will trap the humid air discharge coming from the dryer and the condensation will accumulate in the line restricting the discharge air and tripping the safety limit switches. you can use a shop vac to clean the line but be careful,if the vent is old it can become brittle and crack easily. If the line is in question I recommend placing the hose on the discharge side of the vacuum and blow it through. It may make a little mess but far easier then replacing the line or worse the dryer.
