Product review (5 stars): Works Great Once Installed Properly
We'd read all the other unhappy stories about people not installing theirs properly so we tried to be incredibly careful about how we put ours on. Even so, we somehow didn't get the belt to wrap properly around the drum - it slipped into a groove on the drum and began making odd noises. We thought the belt was faulty, but we pulled everything out and reseated the belt so it was fully on the flat surface of the drum. Once we did, everything worked perfectly. The dryer works like a charm again.

I find it really odd that there's no channel for the belt to sit in. I would think that would ensure it ran at the exact ideal angle for the machinery. But, for whatever reason, it needs to be out on the main part of the drum to work properly. I hope that might help some of the other people who run into problems with these. Try looking at where on the drum you have the belt running, and see if that needs adjustments.

Well recommended.
