Answer 1

It is better to call a repairman for jobs like this.  I wouldn't attempt to change this on your own if it is a belt...they can be difficult.

Answer 2

If it's the belt that has to be replaced, then what you can do is stand in front of the dryer and pull the top up from the front. You may need a pry bar to open it up it's only held down by metal fastenings that snap into the top. Once it's open you will have to remove the dryer drum and then you'll see that the belt rides on a pulley. Most of the belts are in a configuration 8 when replacing them. It's really not hard to do because I've done it to mine years ago. After it's fixed push down the top until you hear it snap back into place.. Good Luck!
