The small belt snapped on this Bosch Tumble Dryer. I sourced a replacement, but now I am struggling to fit it.
It looks like I should be removing the circulation fan via the front of the machine, and then I should be able to feed the belt over the main motor spindle.
Is that the right approach ?
Many thanks

OK did it.
Here is a step-by-step
Tools , extra long socket arm
Remove top of Dryer (if fitted)
Remove right side panel
Release the spring tensioner – this allows the drive wheels to be tilted back and gives you access to the motor shaft.
Notice that the motor shaft has a flat on it – you will need to put a spanner on the flats in order to remove the two air circulation fans
Remove front air circulation fan – lower right front – extra long socket arm needed here
Disconnect wires from motor
Remove rear panel
Remove rear air circulation fan
Look at the motor close to where the belts are – you will see something that looks like a big handle. It is a big handle, depress the catch and pull the handle. It will come away.
The motor can now be pulled backwards out of the rear of the machine. Pull it out far enough to fit the small belt.
Reverse the process, remembering to fit the belts onto the wheels just before you re-attach the spring tensioner.Hope thats of use to someone.
