How I replaced the belt on my Indesit IS70C Tumble Dryer

I heard my Indesit IS70C tumble dryer making a weird clicking sound and took off the lid to find that the belt had snapped and broken, and wound itself around the motor spindle....

So assuming you have the new belt and the following tools:

1 Posidrive Screwdriver (medium)
1 Flat Blade Screwdriver (medium)
Pliers
1 x "Star" driver don't know the exact size - it was the one that fitted!)
A vacuum cleaner for cleaning up along the way....

Here's what you do:

1. Remove the two screws holding on the lid (at the rear, top of the dryer) and pull the lid back and off.

2. Remove the two side panels.

3. Remove the smaller rear cover (over the drum spindle).

4. Remove the retaining pin from the drum spindle.

5. Remove the "star" drive screw from the spindle locator bush and pull the bushes off.

6. Remove the top rear screws holding the rear panel to the dryer.

7. The idea is to be able to ease the rear panel back far enough to drop the new belt in and around the drum.

8. Once this is done, rebuild the machine up to the point of putting the sides on.

9. Remove the fan cover from just in front of the motor (I put the machine on it's side to make it easier).

10. Using pliers, remove the retaining clip from inside the fan impeller.

12. Using the flat blade screwdriver, prize apart the spline gap of the impeller and slide the impeller off the spindle.

13. Tease the new belt around the spindle and onto the location grooves, making sure the tensioner is in place.

14. Rebuild the machine with all the covers and test....
