This is a vented dryer with the solid non-transparent door. I need to fit a new belt. It looks like the motor has to come out. Has anyone done one of these please?
Re: Bosch Dryer WTA4007GB/07
this is a lot easier than it looks
remove top and back
remove covers over heater
undo drum centre bearing at rear and there is enough room to spring drum and get belt through
put bolts back in let belt flop down at back of drum and there is enough slack to push belt through back of fan chamber ease it round fan and back through the hole all that remains is to stretch belt on drum by turning drum by hand slowly
took me 10 mins the other day dont take off motor or fan
hope this helps

Re: Bosch Dryer WTA4007GB/07
Tackled the job today. Used Daves method with a slight variation . I could not seem to get the belt round the fan. Instead, I removed the motor mounting bolts 2 at a time, and slipped the belt under the motor. It is necessary to unplug the motor wiring, to get the belt past it. Ensure that the motor is re bolted in its original position, as the holes are slotted. After winding the belt on, check by feel that the belt is on the grooved [pulley] section of the motor shaft. Thanks again Dave.
