- Dryer drum belt fell off with the help of my teenage son being less than gentle. Tension spring fell out of place and the belt stopped spinning the drum. Motor was fine, belt was fine, simply took some trial and error to put it all back together. Dryer have been fine now for ever a week with several loads of laundry going through it.
My dryer model is a Maytag Centennial MEDC200XW2

Thank you! Thank you! This is my exact dryer in the exact same thing happened. Could not tell by looking at diagrams how that tensioner was supposed to go back on. Save me multiple days of headache.
Awesome! Appreciate that. Consider a “Super Thanks” below the video. 🙌🏼
Mom’s dryer was in the same shape with the roller; but the belt was broken too lol
Thank you for this great video!
Hope you were able to fix it. Thanks for the kind words. 🙌🏼
by the time you were around 4.5 minutes I began wondering how so many other videos wer 15 min plus!?
thanks for the look at your free problem. I'm bout to pop mine open.
I have a heavy handed son too so I'm hopeful.
Dude... thank you. This video was a HUGE help. I have the exact same model and the exact same problem. You got me fixed right up.
Thank you so so much, this is exactly what happened with my dryer! With my son holding everything for me I was able get this back on track by watching your video, very helpful for a single mom on a budget...you rock!

DIY Home and Auto thank you so much!
You are a HERO! I couldn't figure out how to get belt onto the pulley. It just pulls through! Also, on other videos they say the FLAT side of the pulley goes against the drum. that makes the grooves go against the motor pulley. Apparently, it works either way because the one I fixed had it backwards.
That's what it's all about. Consider a "super thanks" at the bottom of the video. Glad it helped.
Thanks for the helpful video Troy. I just fixed my own dryer. It took me 30mins only because I got cocky at the end and slammed the lid down only to have one of the clips fall below the tumbler 🙄. That was a fun Sunday project and now the family can get back to finishing laundry.
Dude!! This was a life saver Thank you for this video with your time and Persistence and dedication to each one teach one!!! May God continue to bless you man!!
You're welcome!
This helped me figure out the placement of the tensioner and save an appliance bill. Thank you.
Consider sending a “Super Thanks”. I’m so glad this video is helping so many people!
Hey Troy! My name is Troy Too. Lol. Thanks for helping me out with fixing my parents dryer. Saved Them Like Almost $350. Even though My Parents Aren't To Much Concerned About Paying For It or Any House Hold Appliances. Dad is a retired S.F Army Veteran(25yrs) plus 2 Vietnam Tours with 100% Disability and Retirement Checks. And my Mom is a retired Teacher(20yrs) and The Same with her, besides The Disability check. I was brought up by them to do it yourself first. And then If I can't fix, call a professional. Again Thank You for this D.Y.I Info. Out of Fayetteville,NC -aka- FAYETTNAM. 2nd largest base in the UNITED STATES. NEW NAME now is Fort Liberty, changed from Fort Bragg.
🙌🇺🇸🇺🇸🙌 'MERICA!!!! My son is in the AF but what he's doing is top secret. My little brother is a Captain in the AF as well and flies the KC135 refuelers. He's seen some stuff and can't talk about some of it as well. We live in a pretty crazy world and I fear it is only getting crazier. Thank your Dad for his service from me and my family. Glad this helped!
Thanks, I was having fits figuring out how the spring tensioner went in.
Glad it helped.
Thanks for the video. Got it on the first try with your heads-up about lining up the barrel in the front.
Nice!!! 🙌🏼
Thank you. This saved me $$$ too. Have a happy Father’s Day!
Glad it helped. Happy Fathers Day to you as well.
Awesome video. Helped me with the tensioner wheel bracket. It has a hole in it and looks like it should bolt on but has no where to do so. When I took it apart the tension wheel and bracket was just laying in the bottom of the dryer. Thanks!
Yeah took me a second to figure it out as well. Knew I should share to make it easier for others. 👍🏼
Except ... you should've showed from the Very Beginning.. how you took off the Front panels.. 😒😒
Thank you so much! I couldn't figure out the tensioner. Never thought to install it the other way around.
Glad I could help!
Why not start from the beginning? What model is that?? Trying to find my specific one.
hades same issue put it back together did it again and again so I tac welded in place doesnt pop out
Thanks for the video I appreciate it you save me a lot of time with showing me how to do the belt around the motor and the pulley
Glad it helped 🙌🏼
Thanks for the video! My dryer did the same thing and i didn't know which way the tensioner wheel went in so you solved that problem for me!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the feedback. DIY is the way to go....
Thanks for the fix as this was the exact same issue with mine. So thanks and keep posting.
Glad it helped!
How did you get the belt on tensioner you didn’t show that
Loved the fact you teach us ways to save money
Thanks.. that pulley had me!! I never would have figured that out.
You bet! I fought it for a good 20 minutes before finally figuring it out.
Thank you! I spent a long time trying to figure out the tensioner wheel, you really helped me out! Cheers!
same
Ditto
I drilled a hole in the bottom of the dryer and attached the tensioner with a pop rivet hopefully it will not fall out again.
Sounds like a “Pro Tip”! 👍🏼🙌🏼

Happy to help
Thank you so much! This is exactly what happened to my dryer. Easy fix. Great video!
Glad it helped!
thx for your insight ( in hindsight )
belt lined up perfect ( @ 2nd try 🤦♂️ )
lil 🔩 holding tensioner in place now
even after cleaning and replacing all seal gaskets and rollers , damn thing still loud and leaking lint
these machines these days are just junk
Glad it helped. Yeah there's just not the quality that things used to be made with. Too much overseas cheap stuff for the good ones to compete against. Consumers want cheap prices so manufacturers keep cutting corners. Double edged sword! I do like the gun range idea though!!! Let's shoot one up!!! haha
Thank you! Saved me from buying a new dryer
You're welcome!!
Thanks for the help just fixed mine!
Great to hear!
Lmao. Thank you son for causing that to happened cause honestly I did the same thing. I turned the drum to get to thr clothes on the bottom and heard a clunk and was like fu**. Same exact thing happened to me yesterday. Lol
Easy to do, the older these get the more prone they are to it as well. Glad this video helped.
Wow this is exactly what I needed ! Thanks
Exactly what i needed to know - thank you!
what causes the tensioner pulley to come off?i have one im working on now.
Mine popped off when I tried to spin the drum backwards.
How the hell you get the belt inside the pulley!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I remember right you have to disconnect the pulley to get it in. Sorry for the late reply. Hope you got it figured out.
Love the background music, can't believe your wife let you put it together with all that dirt still in there.
She was just happy we didn’t have to buy a new one. Hahaha
Thank you! I was stumped, until I found your video. Now I can dry my wet clothes!
Glad to help. 👍🏼
Thank you so kindly. God bless!!!
Thanks Sir, It took me half the time because of your video, 🙏🏾
Glad it helped
Thank you
You're welcome
I have the same dryer. After replacing the belt, the drum turns when empty but as soon as I put wet clothes in it won't turn. I
I cleaned and lubricated the wheels but it didn't help. The only thing I can think of is the belt is a tad too long
Either the belt is too long or the tensioner needs adjusted.
@Troy's Garage my dryer has a non-adjustable tensioner.
I got the same dryer. My mine knocks louder than a pissed off wife on the other side of a locked door. The rollers are good, the motor and motor pulley are good. The tensioner pulley is good. Its coming from the front door panel somewhere I believe. I'm to the point now where I want to take this thing to the range and use it for target practice.
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. Right after watching this video, as unrelated mine and yours issues was, I decided fuck it I'll try one more dang nab time. With a clear mind this time. Hot shit I found the issue. A drill bit that my amazing 3 sons took out my drill a mntth ago, was crammed between the lip on the door that the drum rolls on and the drum itself. Being that the bit moved with the drum, i never seen it. But that one last fuck it time I decide to look the door over thoroughly because I knew that had to be the only place it was coming from and found the drill bit.
Guess who wins Jackass of year award? Me.

@@JackEnHoff247 na. Man it happens. I put the belt on upside down a few months ago. Now I noticed the drum was spinning too slow. I take it apart just to find rubber dust all over the motor. The belt slowly burned off from being on wrong.
taking it to the range sounds like an excellent idea
after throwing it off a cliff
replaced all parts on mine
damn thing still leaking lint all over the damn house
she wants a new 1 anyways
now thanks to your idea with the range , I gonna …..
Thank u Bruhda, now I know wut 2do :]
Your the man
Thanks. Glad this video has been able to help so many people.
thanks a shitload sir!!!
