Belt diagram I have an old hotpoint dryer that I need a diagram for and yes I too as a female can replace it myself, its not rocket science, but I would appreciate a diagram or amybe we should just look elsewhere??

You can do it yourself if competent at diy but you need to slide the belt over the drum by releasing one end of the drum.

WE12X10009 belt part number and it's around 45 dollars

I dont know what you can or cant do, but its not rocket science. So you "should" be able to?

the belt may be off/broken, motor bad, or idler assemblage.

Here is a website with the routing of the belt the Hotpoint is( General Electric (GE) - Large Capacity Models 1970-1990):

Looks like the part number is "AP4379804"

Click the link to take you the belt diagrams page. Choose your brand and model number and the diagram will load. You will need the model number located on the product information tag, normally located inside the door or on top of the control panel.

Remember the belt rule, V of the belt goes in V pulleys.Flat pulleys that are stationary or move get the back of the belt. You can figure it out. Its not rocket science. Remember at some point there has to be a tensioner,usually gets the back of the belt if its a flat pulley. U may have to remove the spring and then reattach the spring after the belt is routed.

Go to repairclinic.com and click on the "Repair Help" heading. On the following page is a link for "Dryer Belt Diagrams". Hotpoint will either be drawing M, D, or L. This depends upon the year your dryer was manufactured. I hope this helps you. Let me know if you need further assistance.
