dryer working again

Yay, the belt for my tumble dryer arrived today. The whole thing had to be taken apart to get the new belt on. The drum alone is huge but the belt is only a skinny little strip of rubber and it took forever to work out how the belt, drum, tentioner and driveshaft all worked together! Eventually after much wringing of hands and thought processes the obvious way became apparent and then the dryer had to be reassembled. S showed me how the gas burner is an open flame under the drum, very scarey looking arrangement with all the dryer lint flying around, it looks like a recipe for disaster, no wonder S spent about an hour cleaning all the hoses and the fan and making sure it was all throughly clean underneath before starting the dryer up again. It worked first time and I was able to dry a load of laundry before I came to bed. Hope it lasts another 15 years now!!
