How to Change the Belt on a Maytag Intellidry Drum

Maytag Intellidry automatic dryers are equipped with a system that uses sensors to detect the moisture level of laundry inside the cabinet. The system stops the dry cycle when the sensors indicate an appropriate dryness level. The belt connects to the drum to rotate it during a cycle. The other end of the belt connects to a motor pulley system. Change the belt when it breaks to keep your Maytag Intellidry dryer working properly.
