Inspection and access
I separated the stacked laundry appliances and opened the dryer. With the drum removed, the blower and motor area showed heavy lint buildup that needed to be cleared.
Repair and reassembly
I serviced the internal airflow path and replaced the drum belt and support rollers using the dryer repair kit. The photos show the exposed blower, the motor area and the drum supports during the work.
The invoice also includes ventilation maintenance. I reassembled the dryer after the internal and exhaust work.
