BWXR473ET3WW General Electric Dryer - Instructions

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.

I watched a video on PartSelect.com, opened up the dryer (that's the first time I had opened a dryer), found that the bearing was worn down, ordered the replacement parts for under $40, and fixed the dryer in just a few minutes. The whole process was much easier than I expected. I should have done it weeks ago.

At first I thought it was the belt but when I took off top portion of dryer I saw belt was fine. I got to this site and found source of noise was drum bearings from postings. I ordered the parts and much to my suprise had it working with 15 minutes. Web site was very helpful.

Watched video first, then diagnosed trouble. Went to internet for cost and avalible parts. Copied parts diagram. Very pleased with price and orderd parts assosiated with front drum. 4 days later parts arrived.

new handle just popped right in the slots

Had to tap three holes in the rear bearing to match the three attachment screws. Screw up with the part.

it was easy, it clip right on.needed to give it a little tap to get it in .

Followed the videos on this web site and found out how easy it was to replace the belt,drum glides and felt seals. I took my time and also completely cleaned out the gas dryer from all the lint. Thank you for the great prices, fast shipping and how to videos. Bill d.

With the help of doityourself on the internet. great instructions

All that was needed when I got the new handle from Fed-ex, was simply to line-up the clips with the holes in the door and push in till everything snapped in place. It was very easy. It took longer to open the package than to attach the handle.

Handle was the exact replacement slipped it into the handle slots and pushed in to lock in place.

watched the repair video first and it was very easy. took out screw in door to release top of dryer. removed top of dryer took out two screws holding the front panel to the side panels. removed old front drum bearing off the door replaced it with new one put it all back together. VERY VERY EASY. No repair man needed. I was impressed i could do it myself and saved tons of money not having to buy a new dryer.
