- Video showing you how to replace the belt on a Kenmore 70 series dryer. Very simple to do, there is not a whole lot to taking off the front of the dryer so you can slip the new belt over the drum.
Once you have the front off and the new belt on, it's just a matter of knowing how to place the new belt over the motor pulley and idler pulley.
Here is a link to order a new belt for your Kenmore Dryer - amzn.to/1R2jNKm
If you have any questions feel free to post them in the comment section.

I know the dryer is plugged in, lol - The breaker is off to those outlets during the video.
Be sure you unplug your dryer, or turn the breaker off when you replace the belt on your Kenmore Dryer!

Thanks a million for this video! I watched it, ordered my belt, and just got done replacing it and it works! My wife thinks I am cool now!
Lol
Thank you, Great Help
I like it I was lucky to only my belt just came off
Well shit, no wonder she hasn’t called me in almost 6 years
Can't thank you enough for a simple and to the point video. Instead of buying a new dryer or hiring someone to fix it. I fixed it myself! Thanks again.
That was the best camera angle of all the videos I've seen on this! Nice job. Thank you.
Thanks Bill, your video helped this 63 year old woman show her daughter that you are never to old to learn, I fixed her dryer and boosted my confidence .....still smiling!!! Thanks again.
Awesome video, nice to see someone that takes it slow and straight forward for people that aren't as inclined to already know some of this stuff. This would enable someone that had never been inside a dryer to complete the job the first time.
That was as straightforward as it could possibly get. With the way you laid it out, I don't see any way for my repair to fail or get complicated. Thank you, and a very big thumbs up to you today for putting this up .
Ed.
I have whirlpool, but you helped me put the pulley back in place with the belt running underneath it. The video is so good I watched it for fun again after my work is completed. Thank you so much.
Best video of an assortment. Clear picture and description.
Love this kind of video. Straight to the point. Showing only what's necessary. Thank you!
Bill, Thank you for this video. I appreciate your clear explanations and excellent views of the essential parts of the dryer. With your help the belt replacement was a breeze.
The first time I replaced a belt on a dryer was about 35 years ago. I bought the belt, took it home, and it was waaaay too big, I took it back and the guy at the appliance store drew me a diagram on paper how to install it. Worked like a charm. Thanks for this, I knew it was like a serpentine belt and need to replace one now.
Very much appreciate the detail on the idler pulley. Mine had come off, before I had chance to see how it was seated. I like your calm, humble approach. Keep making vids.
Dryer was easy enough to take apart, but the pulley system had me nervous - awesome camera work showing how to put it all together. Just ordered the replacement belt - hope to have it fixed before the weekend! Thanks for the video!
Your video was straight to the point. Short and informative, exactly what I needed exactly when I needed it!
Thank you soooo much for this video ! It was really easy to see how it connects as our belt broke and fell off everything! I bought a new belt at Lowe’s and it’s on! 8$👌🤗👌. With corona virus nothing is open, so thank you so much! Now we can do laundry again!
Thanks a lot. This really helped with the Kenmore 70 series in my apartment. By any chance, do you have any videos on how to put my life back together? As detailed as this was ,Surely you have the answers lol. Best of Luck and God speed.
marlon Rennie -Lol! That would be a popular video indeed!
Do what I did, divorce and better paying job lol
Get you some Jesus in your life and watch the good happen. Really hope things are better
Have you tried replacing your belt?
Great video!! Thanks so much for posting this. I have no idea how many hours of frustration this saved me. Just being able to see the path of the belt through the tensioner was great. Going in with the belt already broken of course everything had fallen over. With no diagram inside the dryer case I would have been lost.
Thanks pal you have saved me $700. We found our issue was the drum roller next to the burner. We replaced all the parts in about an hour and the machine works great now.
Thank you for posting this video. I just replaced the driver belt and the thermal fuse in my Kenmore 70 series electric dryer. You video really helped me complete the job. Thanks again.
Jonathan Brown Great Job on your repair!
Thank you.
Bill Newberry where can I buy a replacement belt? Thanks
The kenmore 70 series belt change video worked like a charm, replaced belt for $7 in about 30 minutes first time ever. Thanks you Sir!
The instructions were great! I am a 63 year old grandmother and I did it with your help!!! Yea ! to you and You Tube!!!!
Watching this video saved me a maintenance call. Thank you and keep the videos coming.
Thanks for this. Really helped me out, I got it done in about 15 minutes thanks to this video instead of trying to figure it out for myself. One tip for anybody following this, the switch wires on the door that you have to disconnect are a little fiddly, I think you are supposed to squeeze it to bend the plastic over the stops and disconnect the wires, but I couldn't get it to work that way. I finally just slipped two small, flat head screwdrivers in on each side to let the coupling slide over the parts of the plastic that stick up and lock the coupling together, that worked to get the wires apart.
I also used a paint can to hold the end of the drum up while the the front was removed, that made it a little easier to get the belt running true as I spun the drum around a few times to make sure it was in the right place across the entire drum.
Works like a charm now and I just scored big points with the wife.
THANKS! I couldn't figure out the idler pulley and belt routing. After it's put together it makes all the sense in the world. My idler assembly was laying in the bottom of the dryer and I only had some dust and rust as clues to where it went and that wasn't enough. Thanks for sharing the video!
Thank you so much!! My dryer is running like a top now!
I spent 13.10 on Amazon for the belt and about an hour to clean and fix the dryer! Thank You again
Thank you SO much for this excellent video! My husband and I are O.L.D and we were able to repair our dryer with your video, for $12.49 and lots of grunting, groaning, multiple catch-our-breath breaks and helping each other up off the floor (probably would have been comical to watch😁)
So our repair went slow, but worked like a charm!
Thanks, Bill! You made this very simple and saved me a couple hundred dollars.
Thanks Bill, my 70 series is older but, basically the same. I can always stand with a refresher whenever I play with the appliances. Yours was perfect.
Thank you so much for this video. As a 44 year old single mom, I had no idea on how to fix my old model dryer that stopped working 2 weeks ago. Sears had a chat box for me to tell them what happened when it stopped working. So they said it was probably the belt. You have saved my family some cash :)
Thank you so much. You made what we thought was going to be a very difficult job, a much easier job to do. Doing this ourselves is so much more economical!! Thanks again, you make it look easy!!
Thank you for posting this. It's a little harder than you made it look, but hey it's always harder when you haven't done it before. It sure did save a lot of money doing it (by that I mean my brother) ourselves.
I was about to buy a whole new dryer... Decided "I'll fix it my dayum self".... Which my husband says is my new catch phrase.... Thanks for this great video . Excellent explanation and perfect visual.
Excellent video - made it real simple. I never was able to unplug the door switch so I just took the 2 screws out from inside the door and moved the switch out of the way. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you for good camera work and showing all steps clearly. It helped me a lot.
Never thought I’d be able to fix a dryer but here I am! It’s fixed and I’ve saved a lot of money…. Thank you so much for the video!!
Thought I'd have to buy a new dryer, but for the price of 8 bucks, works again. You saved me. Thank you.
Thanks Bill. I also used your kenmore washer video's to help me repair my kenmore washer. The "motor coupler" was worn. I replaced it, now works great!
Thanks for the how to post Bill. I found your close up of the tension pully helpful when I installed my new belt.
Thanks so much for the tutorial. Got it all changed out in less than 30 minutes and my 1985 Kenmore lives on!
Thank you!!! You made this task that I was dreading into a total breeze. Found out that the belt on ours is fine! You ROCK!
BTW, part number is 341241 for the belt
I appreciate the video. I never changed a dryer belt before but with the help of this video I got it done and put back together within 15-20 minutes. That's counting taking the dryer apart and putting it back together.
Thanks for your help in regards to replacing the belt video. Belt was replaced before I had a chance to be frustrated. Change found during clean out $4+… cost of belt $15+ 👍. Cost of new dryer $600+.
Happy- yes.
Thanks J.
P.s No lost socks. 🙂
I restore old Victorians for a living ... but today I'm an appliance repairman , thanks to you !!!! Excellent video -especially the camera work ..... by the way my REALLY OLD Kenmore doesn't have the tension pulley - just a metal tension guide
Thanks for the video!
I struggled to get the lid off, even after removing those two screws. I was worried if I was too rough, I'd break something- watching how you removed the top of the machine was exactly what I needed to see. She's spinning again :)
This video was perfect! I was able to fix my dryer in a total of about 10 minutes.
Gosh I'm glad you posted this 5 years ago so that future me could see it and repair his 20 yr old Kemore 70 series Dryer in 2020! Would like to blame Covid-19 but that's redundant, it's just a 20yr old belt that snapped! Thank you sir for the simple to the point video and instructions!
Its 2021 and your video is still helping people. Thank you so much for this i have the same dryer and didn’t know how to put on the new belt. Thanks to this video i did it in 10 minutes im grateful. Bless you good sir.
Thanks again man, this is our second belt and hardware replacement and it all comes back agaiin. Should be good to go. When you order a new belt kit you get the whole package, new spring pulleys and barrel guides so, may was well put it all in. Kit was only 19 bucks. Thanks again, very helpful .
Excellent! My belt just went out on my (15 year old) 70 series dryer.. I couldnt figure out how to get in there to replace the belt..until now. Thank you!
Bill, you are awesome!!! Thanks so much for posting this. I never would have been able to figure this out. With your help, I was able to change my belt in 15 minutes. Thanks!
Thanks , Bill you made it so much more simple than the usual trail and error method. I appreciate you taking the time to be informative to make the world a better place. Only one thing though, their isn't an abundance of good guys like you in the world we live in today so please unplug the dryers before working on them, Thanks!
Thank you so much for your video. It helped my hubby replace the belt on our dryer in under 15 minutes! Saved us time & lots of $$$ TYSVM!!
+queenofpink59 Nice Job! YASVW
Thank you so much for making this video!!! Saved me a big repair cost. 🙏
Hey man this video was super legit and helpful. Thank you for the time you spent on making it and the money you saved me from buying a new dryer!!!!!
I Have To Say Great Instructing With Instructons On How To Replace The Belt On A Kenmore Dryer Thanks For Very Helpful Video
Appreciate the walk-through Bill...Only difference I have is there is no idler pulley because they don't make them for the later models anymore. Other than that, all of it was the same and while I was replacing it I looked like a handyman to my woman. Bahahahaha. Thanks again for all the help.
Thank you for your time and help. I was able to complete this as a novice.
God bless you!!!
Glad you posted this. I am not handy at all but based on your video, I am going to give it a try...before the wife gets home. Then there is time to call the repair man!
This video saved me a lot of trouble. I removed the back panel and decided I better do some research before going any further. I'm glad I did! Thank you!
so glad you made this video so I don't have to call my father in law AGAIN lol.
some guy i
Thanks a million. I'm an old man but it's been years since I did this. You made it simple and easy. Appreciate it. And I subscribed.
Great video and camera angles!! Made replacing my belt a breeze! Thank you!
So far this is the best repair video I have seen on youtube! By far! Thank you
Excellent video. Thank you. Ordered the part from your link and we're up and running again.
Thanks for the video! Very clear and concise! Dryer just stopped spinning tonight. Hit up Amazon for a new belt and thanks to your video I should have no issues in getting the new belt installed.
I've done this to my model 110 3 or 4 times, but it's so long between repairs that I forget what I did. Seeing your video is a big plus. I usually replace the idler and support rollers when I do the job so I don't have to get back in there again. Thanks again and take care.
Thank you so much Bill... It's folks like you that make TH-cam Joy to watch and learn... And also gives me faith in the human race that you would do something like this.
Thanks man, I couldn't for the life of me figure how I was going to get that belt on the tensioner as soon as I saw you pull that loop out I smacked my head and finished in minutes
Thanks, these things always come apart fast and easy, but if you don't know how, you are out of luck! You saved me a lot of time and aggravation.:)
Thanks Dr. Bill! My idler pulley had fallen out of it's slot and had no idea what it was or where it went. Your video was helpful and the repair is made. Highly recommend your video to everyone!
I found this to e extremely helpful. I am newly single and find a need to do a lot of things for myself, this video made the task at hand less overwhelming. Thank You
Outstanding video! I ordered the belt for less than $10 and completed the job in about 15 minutes. Thank you.
Thankyou, showed the way. Original belt snapped on my '91 Kenmore today, and a new one is on the way.
Just what I needed. I really appreciate you guys who take time and effort to share knowledge on TH-cam.
Thank you for the video. I was able to fix our dryer in less then 15 minutes. I appreciate you very much and keep the content going. I also subscribed to your channel. God bless you and have a good day.
Thank you so much for the video. I would never have tried to repair my dryer without it. Your detail to everything really made it possible. I was able to replace the belt on my Kenmore 70 and saved quite a few bucks. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for this video, got my belt back on in no time!!! My dryer is much older than yours but still built the exact same 🥳
Thanks so much. My belt broke and your explanation helped me so much
This simple fix saved me a lot of money!! Thank you!
Glad I looked on TH-cam first and came across your descriptive how to video. Scrapers almost got my dryer. big THANKS!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this and making my life easier.
Thanks. I am totally unmechanical, but with your video was able to replace the belt on the 70 series dryer.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. Me and a friend watched your video and was able to change my belt on my dryer! Thank you x's 10!😊😊👍🏾
Not only helpful, but a lifesaver! Most other vids the person is in the way!
Thank you Sir. Best how to video I've watched so far. Best wishes to you.
prefect! I didn't understand why the belt was so loose. I couldn't find a picture for the diagram for the belt. Thank you
You are awesome man!! Watched and fixed my dryer just now. God bless 🙏
MANY THANKS for this video. Your demo was easy to follow. Saved us tons of money as we are about to buy that $1300 washer/dryer combo from Costco.
DON'T buy new machines if you can help it, especially a combo unit. Keep your old machines going with repairs. The older ones are simpler, better built, and don't have fiddly electronics and lots of push buttons to go bad and cost a fortune, IF parts are available. They really don't build 'em like they used to.
These babies run forever if maintained. Thanks for doing this. It helps a lot with the finer details. Mine’s gotta be from the sixties.
This is great, Thank you! I'm just about ready to trouble shoot our Kenmore 70 series and this makes it very clear where and how to look to see why we hear the motor spinning but, not tumble rotation. Whether its a fallen belt or a broken belt replacement it appears to be the same approach. and I'm very glad the 70 series mechanics are all accessible from the front. that makes a world of difference in our tiny, small, and cramped washer/dryer room. Thanks again, this is indeed very, very helpful!!!
I really appreciate it chief! I just changed mine this morning. The belt cost me $20.38 at the Sears Outlet! Thanks a lot!
Thanks!!! I managed to replace mine about ten years ago, but it will be a lot easier this time having seen it done by a pro.
Who's the knumbnuts that gave this video 103 thumbs down? This was a very good video, very helpful. Thank you.
People who do their own thinking.
Thanks man. This video and ten dollars fixed my dryer
mine cost $ 16.00 even (with tax)
Bro! Thank you for sharing this. This saved me a ton of money on getting a new dryer.
Great video. Mine is probably an older version. The belt was broken and the idler pulley were laying on the bottom, so I couldn't see how that worked or where it attached to the dryer frame. Your video showed me exactly what I needed to see. Thanks very much.
Replaced belt just like you instructed, worked very well. Thanks!
Thanks man!! Turned a 200$ repair into a 20$ repair! Keep up the good work and take my subscription!
Thank you Bill!.....doubt I could have done it without your help.
oh, man. should've looked for this video first before taking mine apart. but no harm done and this still helps a ton...
