Ge WE9M31 Cleaning Felt OEM Part

Selected and ordered parts from online drawings. Watched videos showing how to make repair. Replaced worn parts with new ones. Suggested improvement: Videos didn't show my model (I know there are many models, showing all is probably not possible). In case of Felt the video showed a Maytag dryer when my model was GE. In my case Felt had torn and dislodge from slot so I didn't know exactly how it should be installed. A simple picture of the installed Item would help. Also the parts list should give number of each item required. The bearing slides require 2 of each type, the drawing only shows one and the parts list doesn't say 2 required. Other sites did specify this.

Followed the video instructions for replacing the front bearing slides, found the Drum Support Bearing worn beyond reuse. Decided since it was going to be apart anyway I would replace the rear Drum Bearing (no visible reason), the belt (even though it wasn't broken or visibly worn) and the Trap duct Felt because i didn't want to get into again for a while, Having said that it really isn't a bad job, the dryer comes apart with just a few fasteners and its a pretty simple procedure. The time it takes to do the job is less than what is stated but took extra time in cleaning each part of lint & dirt buildup as I went, Oh, don't forget to put the belt on with the grooves toward the drum because if you don't the drum will not turn with a load in it and you'll spend an extra 10 minutes correcting your mistake! ;-)

The Dryer is 10 years old GE Front Load DPVH890JEMG. The drum would intermittently not rotate at the beginning of a cycle and occasionally would rotate but then start and stop throughout the cycle. I did not check error codes, but the windings on the motor were black. So it seemed reasonable that the motor was overheating and sending a signal to the control board to stop. There is one screw under the knob and 9 screws on the front to get inside. I decided to replace the bearings, capacitor, belt and slides while I was in there because they were 10 years old and relatively cheap. Everything snapped in pretty easily and now it works. I was really hoping that it wasn't the control board and so far it seems that it wasn't.

On Saturday I called a service company to repair my Dryer. They weren't able to come fix it till Wednesday. So Sunday night I search for a parts supplier. Your website came up first. I entered the model# and all parts needed and how to fix video came up. I ordered the parts with a very reasonable overnight delivery charge. The parts came in on Tuesday. I clicked on the how to fix video and the dryer was fixed in less than an hour. I saved $200 by fixing it myself. Thank you very much, Gary

Took dreyer apart and seen the drum glides were wore paper thin in the middle. I looked up and ordered the parts online. I did standard shipping, and was very pleased when they arrived THE NEXT DAY!!! I replaced the drum glides / bearing slides. Cheap and easy fix, and solved the problem.
