Mike October 14, 2017 First time working on a gas dryer. Do you need to disconnect the gas line before working on dryer?
Edward C June 20, 2017 What General Electric Gas Dryer Dryers does WE25M40 Fit? The Manual I have is Owners Manual 364B6047P002. But the model number is marred and I can't read it. Please send the list of Gas Dryer it fits and I will order.
1 Answer Edward, If you look at the parts page with this picture it will tell you what models this bearing kit will work on. This should work with most GE model dryers. Read More...
Carl May 03, 2017 for Model Number DRSR483EG1WW Dryer is making a slow grinding noise. The motor turns freely. The front bearing and felt seal are all new. Noise sounds as though it is coming from the back.
1 Answer Hello Carl. Check and make sure the element has not broke and is rubbing against the back of the drum. If not, then check the rear bearing on the drum WE25M40. Read More...
Mark April 05, 2017 for Model Number DPSE810EG7WT What purpose does the "ground strap" serve in the rear drum bearing replacement kit. When I look through the existing bearing retainer while it is still installed in the dryer the ground strap is visible and it has a hole in it . I suppose the the pointed end of the bearing shaft did this. Is it supposed to contact the ground strap? If not could this be what was causing my squeaking noise ? I understand how to install everything but just trying to understand it's purpose and if necessary to replace it. I had ordered the bearing sleeve and o ring before I realized this.
1 Answer Mark, The ground strap should have a hole in it and it is for grounding the drum of the unit. Read More...
Bleepingdryers March 05, 2017 for Model Number GTD65GBSJWS Haven't torn my squeaking dryer apart yet, but do you know if the rear bearing is an actual bearing or a bushing/sleeve part. The terminology "bearing" is used much too freely - to me a bearing indicates ball/rollers with inner and outer race. The much cheaper bushing used frequently relies on face to face contact which will wear out 100% of the time.
1 Answer Bleepingdryers, The bearing is a bushing sleeve type part and not the standard ball with inner and outer race. This is what the manufacturer calls them and would be the most common part needed for the squeaking. Read More...
Joe February 17, 2017 for Model Number GTDP520EDOWW The dryer control panel comes on when the button is depressed and when the start button is pressed the relay is activated because you hear it click, but the motor does not move or make any sound at all. Is this a motor issue or is there something else going on?
1 Answer Hello Joe. Check for a broke belt, bad door switch, or bad thermal fuse. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Jim September 28, 2016 for Model Number DDE7200RAL No mention of greasing the rear drum bearing in the installation video. Is grease needed? Is lubriplate a good choice if grease is needed?
Roxy M August 23, 2016 for Model Number nvlr333evoww Have a GE hotpoint dryer. What rear drum kit do I use?
