DBXR453EA1WW General Electric Dryer - Instructions

Removed old switch, replaced it with new

You guys are awesome! It took me less than 5 minutes to look your company up, place the order, and closeout. Vroom...the part was to me in 3 days! I simply took it out of the wrapper, pressed the tabs into the existing slots, and done. And that cost....baby it's good. Thank you

Removing the top and then the front of the dryer went fairly easily after finding the screws. The drum came out with just a little coaxing, does not gets screwed in place. To me the trickiest maneuver was getting my hand under the drum to place the belt over motor pulley and around the tensioner pulley. You must look up an image of the belt routing. It took me forever to figure that out. If not for that, this in a half hr fix. Ps don't forget to unplug the dryer.

Removed old knob metal insert with pliers.

Replaced drum bearing part and white slides.The problem was that it was not the drum slide support. It appears to be the the drum rear bearing of whch I am now ordering. The bearing replacement is a little more difficult, but I have taken this on as a challenge

Followed the instructions on the video. Only problem was I only ordered 1 each of the drum slides and had to go to a local supply store to get 1 more of each. Repair was very easy and the dryer works fine now.

Actually ordered parts for 2 different Dryers. And I can't thank you enough. I was able to repair my dryer and my mother's dryer. Which is interesting because an appliance repair man had previously told my mother that parts for her dryer were no longer available. Well, we were able to order the parts from partselect and fix her dryer(without the repair man). We were able to save my mom the cost of purchasing a new dryer. Again, thank you. I will be happy to tell everyone I know about your service.

Before removing the old part,took photo with my phone camera to document the color wires hook up. Screwed in the new part and hooked up the color coded wires using the photo as reference. I was surprised how easy it was. Thanks. Partselect gave me fast shipping, cheap price and great customer service.

I had to take the top panel off of the dryer which is 2 screws inside the dryer door jam. Then the front panel had to come off which was 2 screws inside the dryer above the tumbler. One on each side. Then it lifts off of two hooks at the bottom. Then the left panel (left if you are looking at the front of the dryer) had to come off which was a few screws on the back, a few on the front, and one on the bottom. Once I had the panels off, I unscrewed the blower wheel which is one screw. I took the blower wheel cabinet loose but didn't remove it. There is a metal collar that holds the motor to the bracket. Pull it off from the top. Unplug all the wires attached to the motor. I took a picture of the wire connections with my phone for reference with the new motor. Remove the belt. The motor should pull out towards you. The new motor comes with a pulley. Put the pulley on the motor and tighten locking screw. Put new motor in dryer and replace the metal collar. Connect all wire connections. Reconnect the blower wheel and tighten all screws to the blower wheel housing. Now, I plugged the dryer back in and tested it without reattaching the belt. Know that if you do it this way, the dryer will not stay on because there is a relay switch that is engaged only when the belt is on the pulley and there is tension on the belt tensioner. When the dryer motor worked properly, I replaced the belt and put all the panels back on. Plugged it up and it worked beautifully.

Aligned new handle with slots in dryer door and snapped into place. It took 5 seconds.

I went to replace all four of the drum slides but in the process of doing this, found out that the whole of the top support had been rubbed away! I therefore ordered a replacement top support and replaced it per the instructions in the PartSelect webpage and from the youtube demonstration and completed the repair. I had a little trouble with getting the top support installed, but by jiggling it around and persistence I was able to complete the repair. The help I received on the webpage and video were invaluable! Thank you to PartSelect and to the other users for all your help!!

Replaced the drum top bearing,drum slides and felt seal was easy. My husband wanted to buy a new washer and dryer. I thought this might work and was worth a try before making a costly purchase of new appliances. It took only 15 minutes to replace the worn out parts and another 15 minutes to clean all the lint from the inside of dryer. We only had to remove the dryer front panel (4 screws only) we never touched eletric connections and put panel back. WALA like brand new. I'm happy we didn't have to spend $ on a new dryer. Very easy instructional video was great. THANKS

Took front cover off and replaced parts. Very easy.

First I had to wait about 3 days for the parts to arrive when they got here they were the wrong parts for my dryer had to return them and reorder the right part. The front bearing I needed was a universal bearing that fit a fridgedair dryer as well as the GE I had. When it arrived I set in on replacing the bearing first. The hardest thing about replacing it was removing the old glue under the felt strip. I then applied the new glue and felt bearing strip and held it in place for about a minute, when I thought it was ready to reinstall in the drum I did so. I then installed the drum belt which is a bit easyer. I put the dryer together and did not run it until the next day just to make sure the glue was dry and holding the bearing strip tightly. Then I ran the dryer with a full load it was a bit noisey until the new drum belt broke in. Hope you like my book LOL.

replaced felt on inside door that drum rides on
