maytag mgdb400VQ0 drum belt routing

[cwharts]

I fixed the dryer otherwise but now can't seem to restore the drum belt with any tension. What am I missing?

Your Maytag dryer is manufacture by Whirlpool

The belt around the motor pulley and idler should look like this.



The above photo is from this service manual.

I have also attached the page from the service manual the photo is from.
Hope it helps.

Indirectly they did. I looked at them all and realized how I needed to apply pressure to the tension spring and kept playing with routing until I figured it out. Including some an additional pic of the results. Thanks for the site and the help! I did reposition the belt a bit after this photo, but the dryer including the dryer are working. I avoided at least $180 in a 'diagnosis' call for a Maytag that is just over a year old. The pulley and belt had came off the blower. Success in the end at the cost of a little research and effort.

Glad you got it figured out, thanks for the update.
