Kathleen Z Moxee , WA June 10, 2016 Damaged felt gaskets top & bottom on dryer door face and shattered plastic glides on dryer drum front I removed the damaged felt strips and all adhesive residue from the dryer door face. Then I installed the new felt strips. The plastic glides snapped into place easily on the drum. Reinstalling the door was a simple operation, and the drum fit snugly on the new felt gaskets. The dryer works great now, runs quietly, and the entire repair cost much less than a service call or purchasing a new dryer.

John C Gray , ME July 16, 2019 Appliance: General Electric Washer Dryer Combo WSM2780DBWWW Been squeaking for years, drum finally stopped turning rear bushing worn out Replaced rear bushing and used a synthetic grease rated at 600F. New upper felt to better center the drum and new belt. There is a small ball bearing and tin plate that will fall out of the rear of the dryer onto the floor when you remove the two bushing screws. Helps to have someone back there to catch them, and also when you put it back together. You cant reach around and do it yourself, your arms aren't long enough Read More... 12 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Screwdrivers

Stehen B Adrian , MI January 12, 2019 Appliance: General Electric Electric Dryer DBL333EB1WW The dryer was squeaking. After tearing down the dryer, I found the rear drum bearing(bushing) was worn. The belt appeared cracked and the felt was ok, but had wear. The ordering of parts went easy. Parts came in two days. I replaced the bearing kit and belt. I needed assistance to hold the bearing parts in place while attaching them from the other side. The dyer works well now. The felt was not the part I expected. The return process was easy.

Steven D Novato , CA July 13, 2018 Appliance: Model DSV43EA2WW Grinding noise when dryer gets hot. Replaced the rear Drum Bearing kit, Glide Drum, Upper Felt and Idler Arm. These were the most recommended repairs from AppliancePartsPros.com, and since I had the dryer apart, I chose to replace all the common wear parts. The hardest part was figuring out how to take the top off... there were no good images or descriptions. For my model, there are two spring clips on the front above the control panel and top which need to be depressed with a flat head screw driver. Read More...
