First some history. From the time my parents got married in 1953 the way that my mother would dry cloths when she could not get them out on the line was that she would have them draped over the radiators, hanging from the shower curtain rod and hanging from pipes over the boiler, she did it that way for over 30 years. Sometime around 1985 give or take my father bought her a GE Heavy Duty dryer in almond, my cousin ran the gas line and the vent to the outside and that dryer has been in use ever since. The only problems we have had with it was the igniter going in 2016 and now the belt in 2017. A well built machine. For this job I needed a Torx T-10 screw driver to remove the top I also used a quarter inch drive socket for some of the other fasteners. I disconnected the wires that ran along the top of the right side by separating the connector and I labeled and disconnected 3 wires going to the light switch. The top tilted back and stayed in place and the front was removed from the machine. This gives you access to get the belt around the drum. ( I did watch several U-Tube videos before attempting this). At this stage I also opened the back access panel and was surprised to see a cement block strapped to it, I then vacuumed out the dust from around the motor and the bottom of the machine. The belt was indeed broken and I was surprised at how thin and narrow it was and yet it lasted for over 30 years. Then I went on line to Parts Pros with the model number which nothing came up for, but there was a model number that was the same minus the last two letters so I took a chance and ordered that belt. When the belt arrived a week later I saw it was the same belt as the old one. Installing the belt is just a matter of putting it around the tensioner the right way. With this machine it was easy because of the back access panel I could see what I was doing, with newer machines you have to stick your arms under the drum and do it by feel. Sometimes old is better! The dryer is working again.
