OK finally got to finding the numbers.....

Mod: GEQ9858JQ0
Ser: MK2407399
TYPE: DWSR ELE-2406028-EH54

Any suggestions on a fix?

OK so I figured out how to get the drum out and it is the belt. The belt does not have a number on it. ow do I know which one to order?

Hi Gene,

Here's the parts diagram for your model, click here:
GEQ9858JQ0
then Select Diagram#1 then Diagram Location#39 is your belt you can order.

Thanks Jake! I am curious about getting the belt back on without stretching or breaking it. Do I put the drum in first and then try to line the belt up as good as possible then putting it on the motor pulley last?

Yes, the drum goes in first, then the belt. The belt comes with complete instructions.

OK so I just realized as I went to put the belt on that the reason it broke is because the roller underneath the drum near the motor broke and must have cut the belt. The screws look like they came loose on the bracket on the bottom of the dryer. Is there a detailed diagram of how to put it back and where can I find the part number for a whole new bracket and roller?

Here's the diagram that shows your belt#39 and your idler pulley#38:


The Idler pulley#38 is what you need correct? It has the roller that your belt loops on.

Here's the one for your model you can order:
Manufacturer's Number: 691366
