BVLR333GT0WW Dryer - Instructions

Easy to replace but the best part is I received the part within 2 days - 3 days before Christmas. I figured it would take weeks. Couldn't believe how fast they were.

We are a retirement community and when we opened March '07 the company purchased GE washer and dryers to go in our common area laundry rooms for the residents to use. Because of their age, they will often turn the knob counter clockwise and not the right diirection which breaks the device which is not good. With in 3 days of installation they had broken 2 of the new knobs.
But, the ordering was simple, the shipment was fast and the install was quick for the maintenance tech.

It was so easy, I just depressed a couple of tabs and it popped right in!

Followed an online website, removed the top, front, two rear access panels, disassembled the spring clip from the rear of the drum, took the belt off of the motor, removed the drum, took the rear bearing support out, replaced the bearing and reassembled the dryer.

Insert new filter, appliane operational.

First I checked on-line "how to change a dryer belt" and followed the instructions. Remove front panel and slide belt over drum, in the back, put belt around pulley and hand trun the drum. on-line instructions had pictures to ensure proper install. It was easy.

Snaped the new handle back on...no tools needed,
just fit the plastic groves of the handle into the holes on the dryer door. Very simple!

This repair was SO easy, it took less than 5 minutes. All I had to do is snap the door handle into the slots and it was finished. "Piece of Cake"!

The door to the clothes dryer would not open without the handle. To be able to use the dryer I secured the handle in place with packaging tape. The Part Select website made it extremely easy to identify the replacement part using just the model number. I placed the order on Thursday afternoon and received the part on Friday morning. I had to twist the broken handle to remove it from the door. Then I was able to snap in the replacement handle back in place with little force. Thanks to Part Select my problem was easily rectified.

First I removed the drum as described in many other comments. Took me about 10 minutes, pretty easy. Replaced the part which was easy and could be figured out just by seeing how you took the original part off. The hard part was aligning the drum, drum washer, and metal plate back into the drum bearing. I tried over 2 hours to do this and because it rotates and it's almost impossible to line up all the holes, I decided to do it another way.

I took apart the drum bearing from the back panel and then outside of the dryer walls I aligned the drum, washer, metal plate and drum bearing. I screwed them all in together and then, went into the frame and reconnected it at the back w/ the horseshoe looking washer. It worked perfectly and I was frustrated that it took me so long to figure out a different way to do it.

I have to say because of the installation it was a little tough than anticipated but was very happy with the end result (no squeaking) and money savings. Definitely worth giving it a try if you're patient.

I broke the handle

I just snapped the door handle on the dryer in less than a minute. I am completely satified. Did I mention I received my part in one day. I ordered online before 3pm and received it the next day before 11am. Very impressed. Thanks PartSelect!!!

Simply pulled off the old handle and snapped in the new one! No tools required. Took about 5 seconds!
