More tips: Wear gloves to protect hands from cuts going in and out of the dryer. Also, use medium strength locktite on the screw to ensure it stays put. Use needle nose pliers to hold the spring for better alignment to the holes the spring ends fit into.
I did it! Thanks for this video! Getting the belt back on was definitely the tricky part, but I did this in about 30 min. I was able to do it when I grabbed the pulley wheel with two fingers and slipped the belt on with my thumb. Good luck all!
Where did you order the pulley from?
Thanks for saving me a nice chunk of change! As a novice, I found your video was very easy to follow. 😀
Lots of videos on here for this repair but yours came up with the word easy and I picked it for that reason. Your video is on point and made it easy for sure. I have a different vent area on mine but still worked out. Thank you
Thanks so much. I started taking the entire dryer apartment for the squeak. So glad I found your video.
Great video! Way easier than the taking the drum out method. Worked perfectly. Took longer to clean up around the dryer than to replace the idler pulley. Did get a few scrapes trying to fit both arms in there to get the belt back on. But the video is well done showing all the needed detail. Even which way to put the spring on.
Completed this in less than an hour. Took some funny maneuvering and a second set of hands but we got the job done! Proud of myself for sure with nothing more than a cheap tool kit from Ikea . Thank you!!!
Ps the door is kinda sharp so long sleeves and gloves would be helpful
Wish you would have let us hear the sound it was making prior to the repair
It sounds like a really loud constant bird chirp. Very annoying.
@@Spodeboy Thank you! That actually helps ALOT! We were able to fix our dryer our selves based off your video! (We just crossed our fingers that it was the same noise lol)
I wish you were the guy next door so you could fix mines too! You made it look so easy
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Just fixed my squeaky dryer, (which eventually broke) and I went without a dryer for 2 months…. all for the low low cost of $13 thanks to an OEM part on eBay (only because it happened to be the closest for shipping). The difference was mine only gave me about 3.5” to get through the dryer vent hole bc mine didn’t open that large. (Took me about 30 minutes.) And thank you for the reminder to make sure that the part was underneath the lever, I almost missed that. This was a very easy video to watch with great instructions. Thank you again!!
Just to add to this helpful video. I replaced the pulley, but then had no power after doing the install. Wound up being the spring, it apparently was touching something else causing a short. So that spring really needs to be placed there correctly. Also, my dryer had only the round exhaust hole in the back to go into, not the bigger plate as shown here. However, there a 2 holes on the sides, filled in with tabbed metal. I broke free the tabs on the closer side, with a hammer and screwdriver (not too hard to do), to get more access. I left the top tab connected, and pushed back the round metal part, to be able to cover the hole back up after completion. Without that extra hole, it would've been almost impossible to do the fix with just the one small back exhaust hole. Just be careful, those tabs can be sharp after you break those, so either file those down a little, or wear long sleeves, I got a little cut up from those broken tabs. Its running now, thanks again for this helpful video.
Super helpful! I followed this video and fixed the problem for under $15
Great video, I'm ordering my idler pulley now, my favorite part of the video was the long tube is a bit tricky to get it in, had to laugh as what I was thinking about. Anyhow thanks!
I did it too!! This video was so easy to follow !! Yes agree putting belt on took me a few tries !thank you!!
What model # does this part link work for ? I have a DV 48J7770EP
Used your video to fix my dryer whose idler pulley had broken and was causing it to make a horrible squealing noise. Unfortunately I didn't have a back panel that I could remove so I had to repair it the hard way by removing the drum. This video was still helpful though. Thanks!
Love it. Will be doing this tomorrow. Thanks for creating this!
Hey thanks for the video!! Do you know if the same problem can be fixed on model # DV48H7400EW? 🤞
Is that’s how the Digital go on the trying or something is wrong cuz mines don’t make any nose
Great video saved me a bunch time Thanks
Great video !
Where did you order the pulley from
Where can I buy the pulley? Lowes? Home Depot? Tia
thanks for this, made it very easy!
So is it the pulley that wears out or just the tensioning spring? Seems like it's just the spring in some cases.
I liked the “things you’ll need” music.
Very Well Done, Sir!
See, life can be hard, but rarely is it that difficult - there IS a difference - a BIG, difference!!
;-]
Thank you for explaining, exactly, how to complete this straight forward (cheap) FIX!!
;-]]
Thanks a bunch
Thanks!!
Darn, did this and it still squeaks... on to the roller wheels I guess! 😥 Thanks for the video! 👍
Noisy belt tensioner pully - squeaking - fixed by placing just the very tip of the tensioner pully shaft (above the pully axle surface and above the retaining clip) in a vice and forcing the "post" (the pully axle) to rotate 180 degrees by rotating the tensioner bracket. This can be done since the post is only swaged to the tensioner bracket . Then reassemble. Since pressure on the pully axle is always in the same direction only one side of the pully axle gets worn out. Rotating the axle 180 degrees puts an unused part of the axle where the worn out (scarred) surface of the axle was located. Best fix is not needing new parts! Good luck all!
I wish I understood exactly what you are saying to turn and do. I totally agree with your statement tho!
@@storm3309 The tensioner pully (the one on the bracket that has a spring attached to it) only has force in one direction... all the time. So... the pully's shaft wears only on one side. Rotate the pully shaft (axle)180 degrees (forcefully, like in a vise) to move the worn (scarred) side to the opposite side. The pully is worn also, but not as badly as the axle - should last quite a while more. Mine has lasted 6 months so far in a house of two persons.
@@g.c.3339 I understand what you’re saying to do and that only the one side gets worn out… But I don’t know what each specific part on the tensioner pulley is… That’s what I’m having the problem with. Like when you say pulley shaft and axle; I have no idea where that is specifically on the whole shindig.
It’s funny because I fix everything myself but until I learn it the first time; I have no freaking idea. So I obviously have never had to fix anything dealing with an axle or I would probably know what it at minimum looks like lol.
@@g.c.3339 I sure do appreciate you trying to help me though
0:21 THAT IS THE FEATURE IM TALKING ABOUT!
This pisses me off so much. Your dryer is identical to mine. Yet yours gets a metal plate on the back to remove. Mine just has the hole to work out of. I fking hate the idiot who decided acesss to the back of the dryer has to be done with 2 fingers. Like why is mine so worthless.
