To repair the broken belt on a Defy DTD252 Autodry tumble dryer:
1. Unplug the dryer for safety. 2. Remove the back panel by unscrewing the screws on the back and sides. 3. Locate the broken belt at the bottom. 4. Replace it with a new belt. The belt is like a large elastic band with rubber on one side and fluff on the other. 5. Route the new belt around the drum and motor. There are no tensioners; the motor is spring-loaded. 6. Ensure the belt is properly aligned and tight. 7. Reattach the back panel and test the dryer.
Make sure the drum gasket is not worn and the impeller shaft bearing is not seized, as these can also cause issues.
