stupid dryer belt tensioner design

This is insulting. I had no idea things were getting this preposterous. "In a previous life" back in the 80's I had two jobs, repaired/ maintained coin-op equipment for a family who operated 4 laundries in the area. It was a great gig. I could work random hours, after work, and either part of Sat or Sun, whenever. If we got several machines down, the boss would politely give me a heads up and I'd "just" put in a few more hours. The single load machines were maytag dryers and washers, the big dryers were the big huge Cissel, and I can't remember what the brand was of the big hug heavy duty front loaders. I had one HELL of a night with one, some dumb broad had washed a big huge teddy bear filled with styrofoam balls, and it had broken open AND PLUGGED THE DRAIN. The drain valve was a big boot sort of like a inner tube, with a solenoid operated clamping mechanism.

The Maytag gas dryers were easy to work on. A few screws, the front panel came clear off. The tub was cylindrical, open both ends. You could just reach in release the belt and pull it all out. I think I could get the drum out of one in about 1 minute.
