Hotpoint dryer model DLB1550BDLAD. How old is

hi u can check see if heater looks good if so more than likley themostat gone just above heater element

first check the thermostat coupler on top of the inner door,,if this has packed up none of the two heaters will work? the heaters are in the frount behind the door

Depends when the dryer was made, older models had the element at the front behind the front panel.
More recent models all have the element located at the rear of the dryer..
Hope this helps.

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,felt seal, and drum.
Remove the drum and belt and this will expose the drum rollers, idler arm bracket with pulley, and motor with pulley.
The route of the belt will go around the motor pulley first, then it will go around the idler arm bracket with pulley, then around the 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.

Looks like the part number is "AP4379804"

How do you put a new belt on?

It is possible that the element has gone, \even after such a short period of time.
If it is only 6 months old, then you need to contact Hotpoint service department, and get it fixed under the guarantee, do not try to fix it yourself,, as you could invalidate the guarantee.
If you look inside your user instruction hand book you will find the telephone number you need to ring to get service.

Thankyou.

Your model number is actually "DLB1550BDLAD". The character after the second 5 is a zero, not the letter O. I'm only pointing this out to you because it is often hard to read these characters and it will avoid confusion for you in the future. The part number you need for a belt replacement is "WE12X82". You can find it at searspartsdirect.com under the "Blower and Drive Assembly" heading. It is listed as item number 213. The illustrations aren't the greatest, but they may help you as well. If you do not wish to order on line, take the part number provided and go to your nearest appliance parts retailer. They should carry a stock of different dryer belts. I hope you find this information helpful. Let me know if you have further questions.

If this dryer is 10 years old or more do not spend any money on it!
The new ones are much more efficient! If you have to replace it buy a Speed Queen , it will do 8 loads a week for 25 years!
It's the last washer and dryer I will ever buy!!!! And less expensive than a top of the line unit!
