Call your local appliance store. Someone who's been around for years. They
have a hard time selling things as cheap as the big chains. You might pay
$20 to $30 more, but it's worth it. They stay in business by giving good
customer service and not damaging things during deliveries. If they don't
have a service department, they can probably recommend a reliable company.
A reasonable price depends on your area. I'm guessing $75 to $125 to replace
a belt. It could also be the seal around the drum, which would cost more to
fix. If and when you need a new washer and dryer, go back to that store.
