It is something that you can repair yourself
You probably have a tensioner that has broken.
I am sorry but I do not have the Samsung routing available to me.
Below is a chart of the most common routing of dryer belts.
The part that has failed on your unit is probably the idler pulley/brackett.
You should be able to repair it without having to remove the drum

How to install dryer belt for a ge model dbsr453gb3ww

  • Unplug the dryer and pull it out from the wall.

  • 2

    Remove the top of the dryer by opening the door and taking out the screws along the top of the opening, then lifting the top. Remove the front of the dryer by reaching down into the opening at the top and taking out the screws holding the front in place. Move the front piece out of the way just enough so you can get to the drum inside, without disconnecting the electrical wires running from the front piece to the unit.

  • 3

    Move to the back of the dryer and remove the screws holding on the small access panel at the bottom. Remove the panel. This will give access to the two pulleys holding the thin belt that runs around the drum. With your pencil and paper, draw a diagram showing exactly how the pulleys are strung. Then slip the belt off the pulleys so it's hanging loosely on the drum.

  • 4

    Return to the front of the dry and pull the belt off the drum from the front. Put the new belt on the drum from the front, laying the ribbed side against the surface of the drum.

  • 5

    Return to the back of the dryer and restring the belt through the two pulleys, using your diagram as a guide. Use your hands to manually turn the drum at least one full turn to make sure the belt is lined up.
    Things You'll Need

My dryer squells through the entire cycle.

You will need to replace the dryer belt. To do this follow the instructions below

  • Disconnect the power for your dryer before beginning any work. It can be disconnected from the wall outlet.

  • 2

    Open the top of your dryer cabinet and tilt it backward.

  • 3

    Use a Phillips head screwdriver remove the top two screws. Put the screws in a safe place.

  • 4

    Tilt the front forward and roll the belt around the drum.

  • 5

    Remove the old belt by lifting the drum slightly in order to give way to the front supports. You may have to open the dryer door to help the belt fall to the bottom of the basket.

  • 6

    Position the new belt by aligning it in the correct position before beginning to thread it through the motor pulley and idler. It will take someone with strong fingers and skinny arms to be able to get past the drum in the front. The dryer belt in a General Electric dryer has to be threaded looking in from the back.

  • 7

    Reassemble your dryer by replacing the screws in the top of your dryer.

  • 8

    Close the top and slide the dryer back against the wall.

  • 9

    Reconnect the power to your dryer by plugging the cord back into the wall outlet.

    I need to know to route my dryer belt on my GE dbrl33ee2ww dryer as the belt slipped off and I did not see the correct path

    Hi Roy, W/D here. I wrote this earlier for another person, but it works just as well twice.

    You already have the diagram! (Bear with me).

    Make sure that your power is off.


    If you look carefully at the drum, you can see where the old belt was running.
    Place your new belt in that position.
    Now, place the belt over the motor pulley (It is in the same plane as the belt position on the dryer).
    Pull the tensioning pulley past the belt, and ease it into place.
    Roll the drum several revolutions by hand, just to get the belt tracking completely right.
    Put it all back together and you're done!
    Best regards, --W/D--

    How to reinstall Idler Pulley and belt for kenmore Dryer Model 110.66112501

    First, assuming you have the drum out, there are two slots on the bottom plate of the dryer, hook the end of the idler pulley into the left slot with the angle as you look at it up and to the left. as you set the pulley in place the second slot will match the prongs of the idler pulley. With the idler in place, now put your belt around the drum (you should see a polished spot where the original belt rode and wore off the paint). Then use the belt to help guide the drum install. Set the drum on the rollers in back, keeping the drum level to the dryer. It helps if the whole dryer is tipped back against a wall at about a 45 degree angle to get the drum in place, but that makes your aligning the belt a pain at the same time. I suggest have the dryer at an angle to put the drum in then place it level to align the belt.

    You'll need to use both hands to get the belt in place. First thread the belt under the idler pulley wheel in the opening under it. Next you'll need to push the idler wheel as far up and to the right as you can to get the tension all the way off as you hook the belt around the motor. Once on the motor, slowly let the idler down into place.

    If everything is aligned correctly it will work just fine. Just make sure when you put the bulkhead in again that the drum rides on top of the slider pads and that the drum rotates freely with only the motor tension on it. 839edf2.jpge839dbf.jpg

    Can't get replacement parts back on Kenmore 60 series dryer.

    The belt has groves, right? Make sure the groves go over the motor pulley from the right. The idler pulley is spring loaded. Place the belt around the idling pulley with the smooth side of the belt on the pulley. This should work.
