How to Install a Maytag Neptune Dryer Belt

The Neptune line of Maytag automatic dryers contains a wide range of models, including both gas and electric types. Each model, regardless of the size or types of dry cycles available, uses a drive belt to control the drum. The belt is powered by the motor pulley system. As the belt rotates, the drum rotates along with it. Should your dryer's belt break or fail, replace it with a new one to keep your Maytag dryer running smoothly.
