DCVH660GH0GG General Electric Dryer - Instructions

Followed the directions from the video about that particular part. I am 57 and it was fairly simple to do.

Looked it up on here. Watched a guy do it on the video. Then ordered the parts. 3 days later I was fixing it. Dryer was stacked on top of the washer in a small closet. I thought about taking it down for easy access, but decided to leave it stacked. Using a small ladder and a mirror I was able to blindly remove the rear control panel cover screws.The screws for the top were easy to get at, and the top slid out with ease. Then the control panel screws came out, and the panel folded up over just like the video showed. I disconnected the door switch wiring, loosened (not removed) the lower front panel screws, then removed the upper front panel screws. Took the front panel off, not heavy but bulky, and set it on a bench. I proceeded to shop-vac all of the lint I could readily see. Then I recognized the problem. The 4 bearing slides were completely gone, and the plastic top bearing was worn down to barely paper-thin. Setting the new one next to the old one made me wonder how it lasted as long as it did with the noise. While I had it apart, I decided to remove the lower portion and lint trap and clean it out good. It's amazing how much lint gets trapped in there. Cleaned it out good, reinstalled it and the new top bearing and slides, installed the new felt seal, all very easy to do. Put the front panel back on the dryer and reinstalled everything. Ran it and was amazed at how quiet it was. Good as new, and I didn't have to pay the repairman. Everyone told me I may as well get a new dryer. Now my wife thinks I am even more cool than I was before. If you read this and have the same noise issues, I recommend buying the top bearing. I considered only getting the bearing slides, but after getting it apart it was nice to have the new top bearing already sitting there. Would have only taken 30 minutes but I spent a lot of time cleaning the lint out.

Very easy. Follow the excellant how to video on partselect website. I waited too long after squeal started. Had i not, i probably only would have had to replace the slides and the felt and it would have saved me $40.

I opened up the dryer, saw that the top bearing was worn, then ordered the parts. Once I got them I just replaced the wore parts following the video on partselect. Just for some context im a 21 year old female college student and my only tools are screwdrivers, and the only problem I had was getting my dryer down from the washer and putting it back up (I recruited a neighbor for that). You can do it! Trust me!

Just jumped in at first with no instructions to find the problem then did a search online and found PartSelect. I did some research and found the uTube videos and the rest was very easy.

The clothes would get caught where the drum slide should be (it was almost totally worn down) and would leave black marks. I watched Parts Select youtube video. Bought the parts needed from Parts Select. They arrived within a couple of days. I replaced the 2 drum slides and no more getting caught. Took about 20 minutes.

The Felt Drum Seal actually fell apart and got pulled into the area between the drum and the front drum bearing. I pulled out the seal, looked at ps.com's schematics, and ordered the drum seal and the 4 bearing slides. I figured I might as well replace the slides while the top and front of the dryer were off. Previous postings and the video were very helpful. I did take off the dryer door (remove 2 screws and loosen 2 screws to take it off) to make it easier to remove the dryer front. Do watch the wires to the door switch and the light: gently move the dryer front just far enough from the dryer to get behind it. Install felt seal and make sure it is completely in the guides with flat side against the dryer front. Install bearing slides exactly the same way as the old ones: they just clip into place. Have a brush or vacuum handy to clean the channel from the dryer lint trap. Mine was full of lint. You will have to reach in and raise the dryer drum slightly to put it back on top of the front bearing as you reinstall the dryer front. Very easy repair for anyone with a small amount of mechanical ability. I estimate I saved the cost of a $150 service call ($75 to show up and minimum 1-hour of labor at $75 in my area). Thanks parts.com!

take the dryer apart and put the front bearings(teflon) rectangles in.

First up, remove the two screws that hold the top cover on - you can see them when you open the front door. Once those are out, close the front door and pull off the top cover. Remove two more screws (one on each side) that hold the front panel in place, then undo the clips and move the front off to the side - you don't need to unplug the harness for the door, it's long enough to move out of the way. I had to remove the drum next - it's held in place by 3 Torx head screws on the rear wall of the drum. Once the screws are out, you can slide the drum forward and off the belt so you have enough room to replace the igniter. The ignitor is down below on the right side, held in place with one screw, under a gray ceramic piece that (I assume) directs the flame - that part is held in place with two screws. Once that is out, you can undo the 2-prong connector, and use a short Philips screwdriver to remove the igniter. Be careful installing the new one, as the ceramic tip is fragile. Reassembly wasn't too bad, but it really helped to have an extra pair of hands to start the screws that hold the drum in place on the rear bearing. Since everything was apart, I also replace the drum sliders - this particular dryer uses 4 of them, and it spins nice and quiet again!

The repair was extremely easy to do. The video was perfectly done and described everything one needed to do in very simplistic details.
