This image displays the replacement dryer belt, coiled for packaging. Visible markings on the belt include part numbers 137292700 and 4 PH 2273, indicating its specifications and origin.
- Access the Dryer Interior: Depending on your specific dryer model, you may need to remove the top panel, front panel, or both. Refer to your dryer's service manual for exact panel removal instructions. Typically, screws are located along the back or inside the door frame.
