Bill T Watkins Glen , NY March 02, 2015 Appliance: Model SAMSUNG Idler wheel on a samsung dryer At first I thought it was the dryer belt. The drum would spin freely with no resistance. I went to Youtube to find a instructional video on how to change the belt. After a few short steps on had access to the dryer belt. To my dismay it wasn't the belt at all. I realized after doing a quick inspection that the idler wheel used to put tension on the belt had broken and was causing the issues. I found the matching idler wheel on AppliancepartsPros.com, ordered it and had it the next day......read AWESOME. I had everything up and running in about 30 minutes. While I had the unit torn apart I will add that I cleaned out excessive piles of lint. I strongly encourage you to do the same. Overall it was a super easy job. I'm sure I saved BIG $$$. Appliance repair can get EXPENSIVE if you let somebody else do it! Read More... 100 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers

Tiffany C Asheville , NC October 06, 2017 Appliance: Model DV45K200EZ Samsung front loading dryer (the "blue" one); broken idler wheel. I'm a visual learner, so the repair video from AppliancePartsPros.com was fantastic!! I had already diagnosed the problem and told the repairman on the phone. When the repairman said it would cost $50 for the part and over $100 for labor I had already bought the part for less than $10 from Appliance Part Pros!!! Repair-MOM for the win! #liberating Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers
Keith O Darien , IL June 11, 2020 Appliance: Samsung Dryer DV45K6200EW/A3-00 Dryer was making loud noises. The repair was very simple with a 1/4 nut driver, adjustable wrench, 15mm combination wrench, and a couple of screwdrivers. The drum support rollers completely failed and the idler wheel for the belt was locked. I referenced the repair video which made it very simple. It took about 1 hour total to repair and while it was apart I cleaned out all the internal vents and fan blades. It is super quiet again and working like new. Read More...
