Belt Switch
The belt switch is located to the right of the drum
motor and is attached to the switch bracket with 2
Phillips-head screws. The switch is activated by the
movement of the idler arm. If the drive belt breaks
or comes off of the idler pulley, the belt switch
opens power to the drum motor, interrupting dryer
operation. The drum must be removed to access the
belt switch and wiring. (See Drive Belt and Drum.)
