Just replaced the cylinder belt, cylinder rollers, and idler lever shaft and pulley and the tumbler is still not spinning, need to know what the belt goes around for it to spin?
Kinda tricky but you reach in and grab the idler making sure the belt aint twisted, Pull it far enough to loop the belt on the idler and let er go. Give it a few turns to make sure it ain't twisted. Made a phone vid with my bud Robert:

As you could see I first took and made sure the belt was properly aligned and not twited by moving it along the top of the drum. Then I sat down and moved the idler over to make tension and looped it over the motor and let it go. I then moved the whole thing around making sure the belt was not twisted. this is crucial step! The motor runs on 120v. Only the element needs 220v. I was able to power up the neutral and motor terminals and watch her run fer a sec before putting back together and running her on full strength voltage. pardon the DIY language and the old **** fotography my friend. Good luck on your repair. I have more vids on my crappy youtube channel. Enjoy!

dryers have a 'thermal fuse' that will cause the whole thing to turn off. it seems like yours has burned out. it may be caused by a restriction in airflow, so when you replace the thermal fuse make sure you clean the exhaust or the fuse may go out again.

Hi welcome to Fixya
You must pop off the top of the dryer then remove the front after the front is off you can remove drum .
The belt goes around the drum and the motor pully and under the tentioner wheel after you get belt on replace front and top.
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO UNPLUG FROM POWER THIS IS 220volts AND CAN HURT YOU BAD
Thank You For Useing Fixya

You probably have a broken drum drive belt. Your local appliance parts store will have them.
It's an easy part to replace.

this sounds like a drum guides that need replacing soon.

YOU NEED TO POP THE TOP UP BY GETTING A FLAT SCREWDRIVER OR SOMETHING IN THE GAP UNDER THE LID.
ONCE YOU GOT THE TOP OFF THERE SOULD BE TWO SCREWS HOLDING THE FRONT ON.
