Ray, I hope the dryer doesn't have any sensors inside the drum, or they may have been damaged. I'm kind of amazed though, that a pair of shoes inside the drum would knock the belt off outside the drum.
It shouldn't be a big deal to re-install the belt. Just like putting a chain on a bike, I would guess. But maybe the belt is really old and loose, and it's time for a new one. |

for the most part, sneakers in a washer or dryer is almost a no no....not that it can't be done, just with caution....
especially if you wear a size 15......lol a lot of times they will get in a jam against a stationary section, and then the turning drum with baffles will jam things up..... your machine was built way before the 'belt broken' shut down machine equipment...just something to keep your eye on.... probably a good as time as any for a good clean out, lubricate where necessary, and put the belt back on, and see what happens... if you must dry sneakers, use a rack if available.....there are also netting that holds your sneakers to the door for drying with other garments.... or as JohnL with his great idea, place your sneakers in front of the grills of your fridge, the warm air will dry them, almost overnight...and its free! |

you could also use the heat registers if they happen to be on the floor registers for forced air or maybe sit them on radiators if that is your heat source. They'd be dry by morning |

There is a light socket for a 40w appliance bulb just behind the filter and hardware mesh or plastic guard in front of the fan. If you have a working bulb in this socket, it acts as a ballast for the lower voltage ozone bulb and it should come on. Not visible from inside the drum, but you can test it with the back panel off.
