I have a whirlpool gas dryer model LGR6611LQ0. When I turned it on today, it made the normal noise but the drum was not spinning. Do you think it is a problem with the belt? If so, how do you get to the belt to check or replace? Thanks. John.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE RIGHT. EASIEST WAY TO TELL IS PRY UP THE TOP PANEL. 1ST REMOVE LINT FILTER AND 2 SCREWS BEHIND FILTER ON TOP PANEL.. GET A FLAT BLADE SREWDRIVER AND TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE TOP PANEL THEIR R 2 BLK CLIPS ONE ON EACH SIDE PUSH IN AND THAT SHOULD RELEASE THE CLIPS ONCE YOU GET THE TOP UP. LOOK AT DRIUM IF YOU DONT SEE A BLACK BELT GOING AROUND TUB THEN BELT IS BROKE. PART # 341241 SELLS FR ABOUT 15-28.99. WE STK IT. ITS A VERY COMMON BELT. SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET LOCALLY. IF YOU NEED IT WE HAVE THEM.

the belt does goin about the middle of the drum and towards the btm it goes arounf the motor pulley then thru the idler pulley to give it tension. th frt panel must come off, usually 2 screws holding the side panels to the front , set to the side . drum must come out a few inches forward so you can get belt around drum .

Thanks for the prompt response! I was able to take the top off and I don't see a black belt around the drum. Would the belt normally be in the middle of the drum? If it does need to be replaced, how do I connect it to the under side of the drum since I really can't see the bottom since the drum takes up just about all the space that I see? Do I need to remove something on the bottom?
