BWXR473ET3WW General Electric Dryer - Instructions

removed the old broken handle, and snapped the new one in place, total time; 10 seconds.

Snapped on the new on the new one. all done

first, I watched the helpful videos. I then removed the screws that are located inside the door and screws from for top panel to remove front and top panel. When I opened the front panel I saw that the front drum bearing was half destroyed from the years of drum rubbing. I Replace front drum bearing and slides and now dryer sounds like a brand new quiet dryer.

The repair went just as the self help video showed on your web site. Since I was replacing front air duct assembly, and had unit disassembled I figured on replacing upper portion, bearing slides (as recommended) and lint basket. Now it as good as new. Thanks for the help!

I watched the installation video a of couple of times and followed the instructions. Two screws under the dryer door then the top comes off. Then two screws hold the front on come out. Unplugged the two wires to the switch. Removed the duct assembly. Cleaned up the door and snapped in the new duct assembly. Re-installed the door and then the top. Everything was easy - just like in the video.

Reviewed problems with the dryer on line and ordered the parts. The only problem is that it takes two types of slide bearings which I did not order correctly. The video was great and had no problem installing the parts.

The repair was extremely easy to do. The video was perfectly done and described everything one needed to do in very simplistic details.

I followed the instructions on this website, watched the video and read the instructions others had posted about replacing the front Drum Bearing. My initial order did not include the Front Drum Bearing because I thought all I needed was the slides and Felt Trap Duct. It wasn't until I started to put the new parts in that I realized that the Front Drum Bearing had broken where one of the slides had been - which is how the problem started I guess. Yes, it took me a little longer than 30min to do but once I had everything set out, the instructions made it really easy. Considering this was my first time doing a "major" repair, I'm pretty proud of myself. I had told my husband I could fix the dryer and he said, "prove it"....so I did - BAM! signed, 53 yr old awesome woman. All thanks to this fabulous website and the other customers who have posted their info. I will use you again.

Very easy to remove the front and top with a total of 4 screws as per the video. Removing the old piece was easy. The only hang up was putting the new piece on and it wasn't fitting snug. I then realized there was a lip that should sit around the dryer door open. Once I did that it fit perfect and was a matter of putting the screws back.

followed what the repair video showed , step by step and replaced the drive belt on the drum.same with the front drum bearing and slides . if you watch the videos it will be no problem.took about 30 minutes total .

Thanks completely to the free videos on PartSelect.com. At first I thought it was the bearing at the rear of the drum. After ordering that part, I realized the noise was from the front of the dryer. I watch some more videos and decided it was the Front Drum Bearing and the 4 drum bearing slides. Parts were very inexpensive. The job took less than 15 minutes. Just had to remove the top dryer panel and pull out the front panel (with door) just a little to replace the front bearing. My dryer is now super quiet and like brand new again.

Removed handle from box...walked into the laundry room...snapped part into the door panel. All done! Thanks for the prompt delivery.

I used the provided PartSelect video as a guide and easily completed the replacements in under an hour. Remove four screws, take the front of the dryer off, unplug the cables, remove and replace the front drum bearing and two drum bearing slides, reconnect cables, and re-attach the front of the dryer. NOTE: keep an eye on the three cables you have to unplug to remove the front of the dryer, as they will need to be re-attached in the correct locations once you're ready to re-assemble the dryer.

My dryer started to squeak so I checked several websites to fix the problem and found that PartsSelect was the most informative. The website easily directed me to the problem and provided me with the most likely cause. The top two issues for squeaking were the front drum bearing and the front drum bearing white slide. I purchased both and upon receiving the parts I watched the installation video which was very informative. After watching the video I realized that I needed two white slides and only one is in each packet. I went back online ordered the second extra white slide, two dark slides and the felt. Both orders were delivered quickly. The repair could not have been easier. All that I needed was a screwdriver and less than 30 minutes to do the repair. I found that both the white slides and dark slides were completely destroyed so I would definitely recommend purchasing both anytime you purchase the drum bearing.

This is the 2nd time we had to replace the slides. Not a big deal. Removed the top & front of the dyer and replaced the new slides. It's also a good time to vacuum out the inside while you have it apart. Be advised.... Get your tools ready. You'll be receiving your parts quickly. Couldn't believe how fast they arrived!
