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
Dan J Oswego , NY September 30, 2020 Appliance: Model GHDN520EDOWS There was an intermittent squeak when operating The video that was available with the selection of the part was excellent. One comment, my particular machine, same model number, there were differences. The control panel was mounted differently and the tools required were different. A 3/8" nut driver and Phillips screwdriver were needed. The repair went well.When I was reinstalling the dryer drum, I first tried from the front of the machine due to the available in my laundry room. I struggled getting it aligned properly and could not get the shaft aligned. I then stood to the side of the machine, and I easily installed it. From the side is as it is shown in the video.

Jaylene N Kaunakakai , HI September 23, 2017 Belt needed to be replaced. Watched a YouTube video that I think was posted by Appliance Parts Pros, and was able to take apart dryer and replace belt and idler pulley with ease. I put the cap on using pliers and a hammer- nut wouldn't just push on, it needed a little coaxing. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers

Steve P Van Alstyne , TX December 15, 2020 Appliance: General Electric Electric Dryer DPXR483EA1WW Yes and the new idler pulley also fit perfectly. I did this repair for a senior neighbor of ours. Just removed the top; one side and the front panel of the dryer to gain access to the pulley area. Then removed the broken one and put the new pulley on. Fastened the dryer panels back together and tested, the dryer operated perfectly with this new part. This was a very easy repair because the correct part was exactly what we ordered from Appliance Parts Pros Steve P Texas Read More...
