How do you take the back panel off to get to the termal fuse?
You really shouldn't remove the back panel yourself. If you are having a problem, contact Kenmore and see if it's still under warranty. If it is, then they will send someone out to do it, and you won't void your warranty doing it yourself. If it's no longer covered, your best bet is to call a repair shop, and see how much they would charge you to fix it.

You are correct in thinking its the belt, that is the likely culprit, although it could be the motor, but usually the motor would give some warning before going out...humming, slowing, etc. In order to get the front panel off, you will have to first get the top off. (The top snaps over the front panel).

could be rollers, idler, belt or motor, we have to tear it apart and manually move things to find out... simply visit my site and call if you need help whirlpoolpartssurplus.com mark

SOURCE: can't find kenmore 80 series dryer drum belt
ALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR DRYER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO ANY WORK ON IT.
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. Then remove the top of the dryer.
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.
