How to Change the Drive Belt on an LG Dryer DLG3788W

The LG DLG3788W is a front-loading automatic dryer designed for use in residential settings. The drive belt inside the dryer cabinet connects the tumbler drum to a set of pulleys. The pulleys are powered by the motor to facilitate the movement of the drum.
