How can I fix my Hotpoint Dryer?

I have dryer Nwsr483 and the belt snapped so I bought a new belt and its the correct size, I tried to put it back on the dryer and I have to much slack left after I put it around the motor. So I need to know how it is supposed to stay under there?

You have the old style GE/Hotpoint machine which has a round plate behind the drum. The plate has the heater coil, limit t-sta,t and operating t-stat[s] mounted on it.

Try checking on Appliance Parts Pros.com as you'll find some parts breakdowns which will help you.

FYI: The top is held on by 2 screws at the front of the top.

My hotpount dryer nwsr483 is making a loud screaming noise when in motion. I took the top and front off to look to see if the belt was broken. The belt is still intact. How can I tell if it may be the rear of front bearing. Please help.

I have a hotpoint dryer Model NVLR333Evoww. The timer does not work so I ordered a replacement which I have received. I cant get the old timer out from the dryer. Is there a trick to it?

Hello,
The first thing to check for is a clogged or partially clogged vent. Try running a load with the vent disconnected at the dryer to see if that helps. If not, it's possible that one of the two heating elements have failed giving you a low heat situation. You may be able to visually see the bad element otherwise you need to check it for continuity.
