I am a 'handy-man' worker around my home but at near 67 the body aches! My wonderfully helpful, 74 year old brother (who retired from GE Medical equipment repair) came over to take the dryer apart and replace the belt. He also has a 'creaking' body but he did the work. What we THOUGHT would take only 30 minutes lasted 2 hours! It was hard to get our hands around the spring tension pulley and the belt onto both it and the motor pulley. Finally had to take the side panel off the dryer to get easier access and success! Next time, I told him, I will call A YOUNG repair man to do it. lol
