Mark H Lawrenceville , GA February 27, 2015 Appliance: Model DVLR223EEOW My ge dryer was making a thumping noise while running and got louder as it warmed up sounded like like the noise was coming from the tension pulley at the lower left hand side of the dryer Went ahead and replaced the pulley as well the drum bearing sleeve and O ring, drum belt and the front drum bearing slides. Put the unit back together and she ran like a top! 13 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes
