Thank you for this video! I was able to replace the front bearing and get rid of the constant grinding noise. I was going to call a technician but I’m so glad this video helped me do it on my own 👍
Your welcome! We are trying to improve Peachtreerepair.com to have these videos on our sight soon for people like you!
THANK YOU!!!! This is a very informative DIY. I watched a video a few months ago and he did not explain in detail how to reassemble the front and top I didn't have the left side replaced properly.
I was worried about lint build up. Again, thank you, I reassemble the dryer within 15 minutes without cursing, LOL.
Glad this was helpful!
This video is really helpful, it explains what you need to do in a way that is really easy to understand. Thank you.
Thank you for this video, this allowed me to take apart my dryer to find out my drum gliders needed to be replaced along with the piece that they sit on.
Great video, after watching others I was still confused about routing the belt, great explanation
This looks like my dryer so this video is a great help. I need to fix a grinding noise. Dryer is only a couple years old and already has problems. Used to be that a GE product would last for years before servicing.
Excellent directions. Senior female going to attempt a new belt.
Hope it went well
Bless you. Your video was exactly what we needed.
Thank you very much for this video. It answered all the questions.
The drum spins while its empty. But when i put wet clothes in the drum doesn't spin? What did i do wrong. This video helped me all the way from start to finish. Best one i found on You tube.
What an excellent video. Thank You!
Hey there, This is an informative Video, That being said, It over simplifies the method of installing the drive belt, I recommend, With the drum removed the Idler needs to be wired to the vent pipe to hold the tension while the belt is placed on the motor pulley then once the belt is in place and the idler lined up a person can cut the wire.

I fought for 2 days to figure this out. Great comment
There is an easy way to install the belt. First remove the drum. There are notches in the top of both side panels for the rear of the drum to get it out.
move the tensioner to the center of the drier and pull the tensioner shaft forward and lock it under the motor mount tab.
Reinstall the drum and install the belt along side the tensioner pulley.on top of the shaft, put the belt on the motor then on the pulley then move the shaft to the rear to free it from the tab. That is it!
The video helped me out tremendously!!!!
Thank you
Thank you!!
Very easy to follow instructions simple at it's best
Thanks!
Thanks for showing a great view of the belt dissasembly and assembly! Definitely the tricky part of this dryer. Much appreciated!
Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You ! Mission Complete
Freaking awesome video. Thanks
Just a weird coincidence but the place I just went to to get the belt was on Peachtree Street 😂
Great shots and angle on this video...
The dryer in the video looks exactly like my dryer except for it doesn't have the 2 little screws inside the door there that secures the top panel. It doesn't have any screws on the front but the only thing I found is a square opening on the top front side and when I look up in through the opening there looks like there is some sort of yellow cross shaped thing up in there that looks like it might be what is holding the top panel down on the front. But it is very difficult to get to even do anything. I know I won't get a reply back in time so I'm going to assume that this is what I'm looking for and I think I'm going to make a video of myself figuring it out and I will share it with you after. Lol
Taking the belt on and off looks easy when you can get both arms in there like that. How did you get both arms under and around the drum. I can only get one arm in on the bottom right if the drum over the blower vent to reach the pulley. There isnt enough play left under the left side to get my arm in to reach the pulley and even if there was , it seems like you would have to have 4 ft arms to reach around the drum like that! How , what I missing? it took me 15 min to get that stupid belt back on with one hand yesterday just to change a thermal fuse.
I myself sometimes have issues with getting both arms inside. You need to place just the drum in, Just like how the thumbnail for the video looks.
It's really a helpful video
I am currently fixing my own dryer, exact same model.
I had to go deeper and replace the blower fan due to a lint clog.
Only question I'd love some advice on it the best way to and where to put the idler pull bracket back in under the motor.
Grasias
A well Illustrated video I like this very helpful.
i think i have that same dryer I got it apart Top and door off. Your video didnt show how you just access to the tension etc I could see how to do it Help please
Can someone show me what the fuse look like for this dryer I need to but one
Thanks
Help! I did all of this BUT you didnt show the other components. I believe the thermal fuse needs to be changed as everything else (drum, door switch, on/off switch) works. But the dryer still wont turn on. The back of the dryer doesn't look like you can take it off so I'm assuming everything is behind the drum. Please help
How long is that belt. I can't find model number on machine.
Did u ever find the belt dimensions?
What happens when the belt is too big that I ordered the belt that I already came off the old one is smaller than the belt they recommend it
You need the correct size belt. Otherwise it will never work correctly. What's the model number of your Dryer?
@@peachtreeappliancerepair2140 thank u
My dryer keeps making grinding noises and smells bad. I don’t have much tools and I have little knowledge on how the heck it’s supposed to work. What should I do? Or what might it be?
Where is the dryer belt switch located
Same arm that the pulley is on. If you move the arm up and down you will hear it click.
The arm that you spoke of does not click when moved my outher question is the thermal fuse mounted on the blower Danny Malliard
Goodevening! I have oil like spots on my clothing after drying . They’re not visible until being tumbled. I’ve cleaned the washer several times and the dryer. They look like water or oil spots do you know what the cause could be?
I have a dryer that looks exactly like that but I seems like something is holding the drum in. It’s not coming out . Aware there screws . I don’t understand why it won’t just slide out.
So what if your dryer doesn't have those 2 little screws in the front inside the door and can't find any others??
I changed the drive belt. And assembled it again. Turned it on and its making a grinding noise. Not sure why.
Did you find out what was happening?
@@peachtreeappliancerepair2140 yes the lever spins the belt wasn’t pulled back all the way. It was stuck in between another part.
Why would this machine make a squeaking sound
It's probably because of the front or rear bearings. Very easy to repair.
pulley arm is stuck on mine
Helpful video, that camera angle tho... How am I supposed to know where to stick my hand in to find the belt
You reach from the bottom side of the drum on both sides. That's really the only camera angle I could come up with that can show you how the belt is routed.
I did everything now my dryer does not want to turn on
Did you connect the door switch back up?
Yupp I connected everything back the way it was
I've removed the control panel, but my GE Profile Prodigy dryer does not have the two screws to remove above the dryer door. I've checked and rechecked for them. Can you guide me to the next step for front panel removal? Thanks, in advance.
What's your model number?
@@peachtreeappliancerepair2140 Thanks so much for the reply and research. It's a GE Profile Prodigy Model# . DPR483GA0WW.
That model isn't quite the same as our video so you are correct it doesn't have the same screws. You have 2 clips located between the lid and the door panel top. It's possibly the 2 screws are at the bottom of the front panel near the ground. Look for ( hopefully) the 2 screws at the bottom, remove them and try to swing/pull from the bottom. Hopefully this helps! Good luck.
@@peachtreeappliancerepair2140 Thanks for helping. I didn't see screws or any other types of fastener at the bottom. I'll keep looking and researching. Thanks again for your help.
I figured it out and wanted to leave this here in case others need this info. Between the case front and top lid, there are 2 push clips where the screws connect on most other dryer models. Use a flat screwdriver or other slim shim to push the clip in while prying the top lid up.
