with great difficulty - these belts are so tight!there is a special tool for doing it but there are other ways
one way i have used is to make a spanish windlass from belt to bottom of machine. when belt is level with motor spindle, push belt on and release spanish windlass. could also try levering belt on with a screwdriver
another method is to get a short piece of tubing that will fit over motor spindle. put belt over tube, lever down and slip belt on. this is the best way

unplug the dryer,
220v is not fun
dryers are generic inside, regardless of maker
while you got it apart to replace the belt is a good time to clean out exhaust vent pipes and the squirrel cage fan, no lint, better air flow, less $$ to run
the tensioner may push Up on the lower run.

• open case, most front panels are removed including door, remember to disconnect door switch wires, set panel aside
• pull drum out
• check drum support rollers
• check drum felts, bushes guides
• locate tensioner pulley, belts have been known to pull them out of the mounting when it breaks, check , reinstall if out
• pick up broken belt off floor of case
• take belt to parts store and match it, despite the huge number of dryer models there are very few belts.
• If any felts or rollers are worn,stuck,damaged take them too to the parts store, and replace in pairs, despite the huge number of dryer models there are very few rollers or felts
• after ensuring rollers anf felts and bearings are serviceable, loop new belt around drum at the wear mark from prior installation, reinsert drum
• loop new belt around motor pulley.
• pull tensioner pulley against spring to end of motion
• loop belt around tensioner pulley
• allow tensioner to slowly move back by spring tension till the belt is taut
