DBB3300GA1AA General Electric Dryer - Instructions

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.

I went online to watch videos of how to take a dryer apart. I shut off the gas line and unplugged the power cord and cut the zip ties holding the exhaust tube tight on the exhaust. I took the dryer apart and inspected parts for wear. When I had the drum out and belt off I felt that I had seen all the worn parts. I spent a half hour cleaning the inside of the dryer. I carefully used compressed air, a small vacuum, and paper towels. I cleaned the exhaust vent in my home, and bought a new vent tube as the old tube was worn. I ordered the bearings, bushings, slides, belt, and felt seal that I could see were worn. I also ordered the plastic frame that holds the sliders as it was worn and broken. I used electrical tape to cover a wire for the inside lamp that was worn partially bare. You should stop using your dryer at the first sign of odd noise, take it apart, and install new parts. With the new parts and full cleaning, the unit runs like new. Very quiet. Just be super careful when you install the drum back in and place the belt correctly. You need to look at where the belt goes, memorize that, then put your arms in and install the belt without being able to see anything because of the tight area. Be careful not to cut your arms on the sharp metal body. You could put tape over any exposed edges to make your work safer and less worrisome. Try out the dryer when you are done with the assembly to see if it works without hooking up the gas. It will run smooth, and a little more dirt will come out. Then hook up the exhaust carefully, then the gas. Lastly, try it out. It should work like new, push lots of hot air out the exhaust. When you are done you will feel good and may just decide to paint the laundry room or put up new shelves like I did.

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.
