DBXR463ED2WW General Electric Dryer - Instructions

just installed it

I checked out YouTube and found some really helpful videos from various appliance guys. The parts came fast and I knocked out the repairs in about an hour. Replacing the front and rear bearings was a breeze and no more squealing. Just like new

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 !!

Went well. Excellent service on parts delivery .

Pulled out the dryer, removed all the screws to the top control panel. Removed the broken part, installed the new part. screwed it all back together and it was fixed. Anyone can do it

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.

Literally put the new knob onto the appliance and "WA-LA!" It worked no problem!

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.

Removed two screws to take off the top. Removed two more screws to take off the front. Removed and snapped on the drum bearing. Replaced the bulb. Popped in the 4 drum slides into the new drum bearing. Replaced the nylon seal the same way as the old worn out one was.

Pop off top access panel twist switch out and reverse twist switch back in. . Very simple

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.
