INDESIT Tumble Drier.

Does anyone know an engineer who could replace the drive belt (belt not broken, just come off) on a tumble drier.

Not as easy as it sounds -- I've looked at several YouTube demos and there are many stages involved -- if I tried it, there'd be sure to be bits left over after reassembly.

A further problem, Indesit is not marketed in Thailand.

I am in Bangkok Emporium area. thanks.

It's not that hard. There's a small tension wheel/pulley at the bottom, in the back close to the motor. Most likely it just slipped off the pulley.  Question: if you haven't had the dryer apart, how do you know the belt isn't broken? That's more likely than it slipping off the tensioner.

 

 The back panel should come off without difficulty. Take the back panel off and all the guts should be visible. Reach in & loop the belt around the 2 wheels. Make sure the tension spring has not come loose.

 

I would buy a new belt prior to disassembling the dryer, if you can determine the length prior to taking it all apart. Use the great & powerful www to find info on the part. All dryer belts are about the same, except for the length. If it's not broken & the dryer is old, I would replace it while everything is apart. But that's just me.
