Customer Questions and Answers for Dryer Drum Drive Belt by GE

Dan for Model Number DWSR483EB3WW

Answer Dan, Loud squeaking noises from this type dryer is usually due to a worn drum bearing sleeve WE1M462 or shaft WE25M40, a worn belt WE12M29 can make noise, but is usually at the start of the cycle and goes away during the cycle. Depending on age and usage, you may want to replace both, the belt WE12M29 and bearing sleeve. 

Matt for Model Number DBXR453GT3WW

Answer Hello Matt. This sounds like you may have an issue with the rear drum bearing and the front bearing. If the drum is tight or is dragging, it can cause the belt to break on the unit. 

Mike for Model Number DBXR453ET3AA

Answer Mike, If the motor is coming on before the start button is pushed then the timer would be faulty causing the motor to get power when powered off. For the drum not turning but the motor does then double check the rear bearings to make sure that they are not causing an issue. If they check ok then the motor would most likely be weak not allowing to turn drum. 

Gwen for Model Number Drsr483ed2ww

Answer Gwen, You will want to check to make sure that the belt is not broken. If the belt breaks the unit will not run. Also check the rotation of the tub to ensure that it spins when turning by hand. Check the bearing to make sure that it is not bad. You may have a sieze bearing.

Charlene for Model Number PBXR463GA1WW GE gas Dryer

Answer Hello Charlene, When the belt starts slipping it is because something in the unit is opposing the turning of the drum. This is either the idler pulley WE12X83, the rear bearing kit WE25M40, or the front slides WE1M504 two of these, and WE1M1067 two of these. The front drum bearing support WE3M26 may require replacement if the clips that hold the slides in place are worn off. The belt WE12M29 will only require replacement if the unit is run too long with the opposition to the drum rotation occurring. As a note. the two green slides go to the middle and the white ones go on either side of the two green ones. These part numbers are for model number DCXR463GA1WW. The model number you had listed came up as invalid. 

Bruce for Model Number gfdn100el0ww

Answer Hello Bruce. You will need to replace the drum support bearing WE14M124 and all 4 glides WE1M504 (2) and WE1M1067 (2). Also you will need to order and replace the rear bearing kit WE25M40. 

Ken for Model Number ds4500ea1ww

Answer Ken, In your style dryer, there are a couple of possibilities, The most likely being the rear drum bearing WE25M40 . the other is the idler pulley WE12X83, but that is more of a "squealing" type noise, that turns into a rumble. 

Carla for Model Number DBSR463GG1WW

Answer Hello Carla. Something is either jammed inside the tub, or something is stuck inside the blower wheel. You will need to look and clear out what ever has the drum stuck. 

Carla for Model Number DBSR463GG1WW

Answer Hello Carla. Make sure the drum is not tight inside the unit. If not, you can check and see if the belt is broke. If the belt is good, you will need to order and replace the motor in the unit.
