Great Service, Received Parts Needed Quickly.
It's been a year after replacing the belt. Our dryer is still running good. When we ordered the part last year, it shipped ahead of schedule allowing us to be up and running quickly.

Drum would get hung up, belt would slip sometimes and there was a squeaking sound
Pull the front off. The belt was removed from idler pulley which was missing the wheel and pulled drum forward . Removed drum, replaced rear drum support roller kit and idler pulley assembly, put belt on and slid drum back in. Installed front panel, plugged in, works like a new dryer. It was very simple.
Drum not turning; accompanied by loud "screeching" sound.
Followed instructional video provided for this type of repair after diagnosing problem via of 'troubleshooting' on PartsSelect site. Simple, safe, and relatively easy (minimal mechanical knowledge helpful). Second time using PartSelect; washing machine repair ~ 6 mo. previous. PartSelect was spot-on with that repair as well, sa

The dryer belt broke. During the effort to replace the belt it was noted that the lint trap housing seals were in need of replacement.
With the dryer taken apart to replace the broken belt it was obvious that the lint seals had not been working properly due to the excessive amount of lint covering all of the inside surfaces of the dryer. The belt idler pully had also moved from its normal mounting position and was laying at the bottom of the dryer. Because the lint had c
... Read moreovered the bottom before the belt broke it was obvious to determine where the idler pully attached to the bottom.
Before cleaning I marked the exact location where the idler pully mounted to the bottom of the dryer.
While waiting for the replacement parts to be delivered a vacuum cleaner was used to remove lint from the inside surfaces of the dryer as well as the old fragments of the lint trap housing seals were removed and surfaces where the new seals would attach were cleaned.
Assembling the dryer with the new belt was a challenge due to the lack of support for the drum while getting the new belt in place, lined up properly, threaded through the idler pully and attached to the motor drive shaft. This is how I installed the new belt:
I used a piece of wood wider than the sides of the dryer, drilled holes that allowed for a piece of cloths line rope to be looped through and used to support the door opening end of the drum.
The drum was set on the seal and rollers at the back of the dryer.
The temporary wood /rope hanger was placed at the front end of the dryer resting on the sides with the top of the dryer raised.
The rope was adjusted until the drum rested on the back rollers and the rope like it would be positioned normally.
The new belt was then gently installed under the temporary support rope and around the drum.
The new belt had many kinks from shipping and was difficult to align with the location on the drum where it needs to ride so small strips of tape were temporarily used to hold the new belt in position until it could be fed through the idler pully and on to the drive shaft.
Several small pieces of a cardboard box were used to shim under the idler pully to hold it in its proper location as well as to make the belt attachment to the drive shaft easier.
With the belt attached, the temporary cardboard shims were removed from under the idler pully.
The front of the dryer was attached .
The temporary board and rope hanger was removed.
The tape that had been placed over the new belt to hold it in proper alignment was removed as the drum was rotated slowly by hand to ensure that all tape was removed prior to closing the top of the dryer.
The seals as well as the remainder of the dryer assembly was completed without any problems.
The dryer ran well for its initial trial spin and has dried several loads of laundry since.
The dryer quit working. I did some trouble shooting on your amazing site, ordered what i thought it might need and then got to work. Took no time to get it apart and replace roller kit and belt. What took the longest was getting in there and cleaning out probably 15 years worth of dirt and dust. If you have not opened your dryer up and d
... Read moreone this, 10/10 recommend, because in doing so i found that the motor was the real culprit. Once i opened it up more, especially cleaning around the blower fan and motor, i was half a day in. Put it all back together and got it running for two more loads before the motor quit. Replaced that and since the hard work was done, had it back in in half an hour and running great. Probably will need to redo the felt seal one day, but for now, i am calling it a win. This is my go to site for all things and i have been able to work on most of my major appliances and do it myself using the helpful information here.
Followed the PartSelect instruction video. Basically opened the dryer. Took the drum out. Took the broken motor out. cleanned the dryer since I had everything opened. Replaced motor, pulley, old belt. My 20 years old dryer is running like brand new.
Two parts were needed in order to convert the dry back to Natural Gas. Part Select is usually good, but dropped the ball completely on this one. I received the correct Orifice, but was not asked or told about the need for the part for the regulator so the gas pressure would be changed back to Natural Gas. I found one at a local supplier a
... Read morend finished the switch. I chose to change the belt while in there because the dryer sounded like the belt had a chunk missing with the rhythmic thump. After installing the new, I found that one of the tumble paddles had a penny flopping inside it. One thump per revolution. This is the first in my career that the technician had not left the original orifice and regulator cap attached to the dryer.
Unscrew the lintfilter opening, lift the upper plate, open the front panel and lower panel. Take the broken belt out and insert the new belt. Close everything and start the dryer. That’s it.
I removed the top panel, then the front panel. Removed the belt and the drum. Saw what I needed to replace. Ordered the parts then put back together. It was a really easy job.

When installing the belt how should the grooves be facing?
Hello Christine, great question! When installing the belt, you should have the groove side facing the drum. I hope this helps!

Just replaced the belt not too long ago and they symptoms im experiencing include a loud squeaky sound and long drying times
Hello Mona, we recommend checking your exhaust duct in your home, as this is the most common cause for the long drying time. For the squeaking sound, you should check your drum rollers 349241T and your idler pulley WP691366. Best of luck with this repair!

Where can I find the belt for this model
For model number LER7620LG0
Hi Bryan,
Thank you for the question. The belt attaches to the drum, idler pulley, and motor pulley. You will need to remove the top and front panel to expose the drum and see where the belt is located.
Hope this helps!

I replaced the parts using the install kit. I noticed that my previous belt was broken. My issue now is that the drum is still not turning and the dryer is burning something, as there is now a smoke smell. Any suggestions?
For model number 11072832100
Hello Ray,
Thanks for your question. It may be worth replacing the drum glides or drum roller axles. If those parts are intact, it may be an issue with the motor itself.
I hope this helps.
