Peter K Hawthorn Woods , IL March 08, 2017 Noisy drum pulley or motor The video was quite helpful with step by step instructions. I ordered a belt and idler pulley before dismantling assuming they were the issues. Belt was easy and fit fine but I did not realize the idler pulley was secured with a special fastener, push on cap nut, that would be damaged if removed. So I left it in place. Original pulley seemed fine so I reassembled the dryer. Restarted and of course the noise remained. I ordered the push on fastener and also the drum bearing as a precaution. I suggest anyone with a noisy drum replace belt, pulley,drum bearing and the pulley fastener. May as well spend a little more parts money instead of wasting labor and extending downtime. It works great. Read More... 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
Fred C Arlington , TN March 24, 2020 Appliance: General Electric Electric Dryer DRSR495EG0WW 13 year old ge dryer was squeaking loudly during operation The parts I ordered came in very quickly. The repair took me about 1-1/2 hours because I spent time to make sure all of the accumulated lint was cleaned out. I found that 3 of the 4 slide bearings were completely worn away but I went ahead and changed the idler pulley and drive belt while I had the dryer open. The Drum Front Support Bearing showed some wear in the area of the lost grey slide bearings and I will probably get to go back in to get this later. I should have ordered the Dryer Bearing Kit and I could have taken care of this at the same time. Anyway, the dryer is running quietly and smoothly for now. Read More...

Nicolas S Monrovia , CA November 24, 2016 My 20 year old ge dryer broke it's belt and the tension pulley shattered on the inside of the cabinet First, I watched a YouTube video on belt replacement. I opened the cabinet and found the broken pulley as well as the belt. I ordered replacement parts, and waited for then to arrive by FedEx ground, the slowest form of delivery known to man. I wish they had used Priority Mail or UPS, either of which are faster by days. The repair took less than a half hour to complete, and the dryer is back in business. Read More...
