My Dryer wont't spin. The motor starts and there is air movement when the start button in held. How do I get into the machine to check and possibly replace the belt?

You will also have to clean it out thoroughly by removing the pieces that move air and the blower fan. Also, get some white lithium grease for all of the bearings. Replacing the belt and cleaning it is an easy job. Several women have written in this forum that it was easy for them to do. Make sure to mark the wires you unplug so you will know where they go.
