Allen, this is a 27" Whirly design. They have a belt-break protector switch and won't run if the belt breaks.
You can look up a parts breakdown at http://www.searspartsdirect.com for model 110.72952100 or 11072952100 (include the period or not, but a blank space won't search). The belt switch is on the cabinet diagram, #5 and #23. | ||

Does the belt switch have to be in contact with the belt when it's replaced? Or is it just a sensor that's in contact with the drum? | ||

IIRC, the idler bracket is what contacts the switch actuator. The switch "deactivates" when the belt breaks and the idler looses spring tension. There is no direct contact between the switch and the belt or the drum. I can pull the panel tomorrow on my Calypso-match dryer for a look-see and picture if necessary. | ||
