DBXR453EV0WW General Electric Dryer - Instructions

Studied the symptoms online. Disassembled the unit and found the drum slides worn out. Ordered them and a new belt. Installation videos on Parts select web site were helpful. The dryer runs quiet now. I need a front bearing unit, but the slides are working ok for right now.

To get to where the drum slides go you have to first remove the dryer top. Then you have to remove the two screws that hold the dryer front/door. Found inside the dryer about an inch down on both sides. Be careful because it will fall off. Lower carefully as there is an electric hook-up on the bottom of the door. On the door top are the brackets that the slides slip into. My dryer has 4 slides. Sold individually for some reason. You are done except for re-assembly. Slip dryer drum back on door, press the front until you hear it click back together. Put screws back in and top back on. You are done and no more screeching!

Remove & rplace switch

Drum slide slots had worn so bad that i needed to replace the whole thing. I had already taken it apart before to change drum slides and knew it was a matter of time before the whole bearing was going to need to be replaced.

just installed it

read and looked up the blown up picture of the dryer , got the correct tools and removed the two screws in the top of the dryer door , removed the top , removed the two screws on top going to the sides , then one screw in the front lower left side to allow the left side wall spread apart ,took the idler arm and belt off the motor shaft , picked up the drum with the belt and pulled it out forward. ordered the correct parts that were recomended . parts came the next day , instructions on your web page were awesome .. and it runs better then new !!!! thank you very much ! and i believe i saved a bunch of money !!

I followed the provided video precisely. Made the job quite easy. My only problem is I'm 6'2", 275 lbs. with bad knees. Can't go at it exactly as shown in the video because I can't squat down in front of the dryer without pain. Called in a neighbor of smaller stature for him to come from one side, and me from the other. Worked flawlessly. Video is excellent. I do recommend wearing gloves and/or long sleeve shirt. I cut up my arms a bit, but that could have been easily avoided.

replaced the parts that had worn out

Removed 2 Phillips heads on front panel. Removed 4 hex heads on back panel controller. Took off lid. Took 2 Phillips screws on inside by door out. Lifted door off. Discovered on front seal housing 2.5 of 4 seals gone. Replaced front seal bearing and lower felt seal.. A must...vacuum at all the dust! Replaced the green and white seals. Put all back together. My 17 year old dryer is like new again and quiet. Did this for $37. Front seal housing was fine so could have did for $20. Also thanks part select. I ordered at noon on Monday and had Tuesday at 5pm.

Our repair was super easy. All we had to do was line the new Timer Knob up with the knob on the dryer and slip it on. Thank you!

Simple replacement. Very easy.

watched video and followed instructions. Made my wife very happy not having to buy a new dryer. Thank You, Joe

Ordered the recommended parts on-line and they showed up the next day. I followed the on-line repair video that described it all step-by-step.

There is a video for this repair that partselect.com did. I watched the video . These are perfect instructions. Total time for repair was 40 minutes and this is the first time I ever worked on a clothes dryer. Make sure you have a #2 square screwdriver before you start.

I had a squeaky dryer. Replaced belt to no avail. Then ordered new glides and idler pulley wheel. The glides are a snap. However, the idler pulley took a little more effort. I'm a big guy and it's hard to repair on the floor. I placed the dryer on it's face, removed the plate off the back rear and reached in to replace the pulley. I advise folks to remove the three screws that hold the frame for the electrical and push it out of the way. That provides the room to remove the pulley. The cap nut is hard to get off, I recommend using small pliers to rock it/unscrew it. I reused the same cap even though I had ordered a new one. The new one is too hard to get started in a small space. Again, do yourself a favor and place the dryer on it front. Much easier on the back. By the way, I didn't think the pulley was going to stop the noise, because the old one didn't look worn. However, it did. And no, it wasn't the glides. I installed them first and restarted the dryer and had the same squeal. The new pulley wheel did the trick.
