Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I tell if the dryer belt is worn out?
Check for cracks, fraying, or excessive stretching. A worn belt will often be thinner than a new belt.
•Where can I find a replacement dryer belt for my Speed Queen dryer?
Replacement belts can be found at most appliance parts retailers, both online and in brick-and-mortar stores. Make sure to have your dryer's model number handy to ensure you get the correct belt.
•What is the correct tension for the dryer belt?
The belt should have enough tension to prevent slippage but not so much that it puts excessive strain on the motor or pulleys. Typically, you should be able to deflect the belt about 1/2 inch to 1 inch in the middle of its longest span.
