Hotpoint TL22 Aquarius Reversomatic Tumble Dryer Deluxe

Hi All, got an issue with my Tumble Dryer and I am only now getting round to fixing it properly since the winter is coming.

When I turn it on, it does run and gives off heat but the drum itself will not turn. So my guess is the belt has gone or slipped off.

I had a look a couple months back after unscrewing the dozens of screws from the back only to be faced with another metal panel which contains the main nut for the drum. Thats when I gave up

Could anyone tell me how I get into the belt for this particular tumble dryer?
Is it it pretty easy to fix, considering I am not the best DIY person in the world.

Thanks.

Remove the top & tip it up to gain access from the bottom as well.

Why do I need to remove the top to gain access from the bottom? Is this for removing the entire back panel? If that is the case, as I mentione the entire back panel is attached to the main drum from what I saw.

I saw brief replies elsewhere on the web, one mentioned taking the front panel off but i can't see how to do that.

You need to replace the belt from the front.
