DHDVH52EF0WW General Electric Dryer - Instructions

I called a repair company out to see what was going on. They found the problem which was the front bearing. Then he told me all the parts inside with exception to the motor and motherboard would go out in the next year because of the age and wear. He offered me a quote of $675 to replace all the parts. The replacement of the dryer is about the same cost. So I sent him packing. I got online and found the bearings and parts I needed for about $100 with shipping. I removed the front panel and replaced the front bearing where the drum of the dryer rolls over the curved plastic bearing. Had to replace the little plastic sliders as well. Then I replaced the rear bearing just for good measure. Thing hums like it is brand new and I did it for $100 in parts from Partselect, a little help from the installation video on their website, and about 1.5 hours of my time. The wife was very happy.

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.

Followed the online demonstration on the website when i ordered the part. The video was outstanding and easy to follow. I now have the confidence to make other minor appliance repairs.

Took the back off/there were six phillips head screws. Took the protective cover off the Interlock Switches and found the problem. One of the buttons was jambed and would not move. I pulled the switch up and pulled the connecting wires. This took a little bit of doing as the connectors have been set for over 8 years. I used a pair of needle nose pliers. I reconnected the new switch and punched both switches and the washer started. It was an easy repair after that, putting everything back in reverse order.

I watched the installtion video and actually did it faster than the video and yes you do have to be careful of sharp edges I did cut one finger. Other than that no problem I was all back together and using the dryer in less than 15 minutes

Followed directions

I'm a 90 pound mother of 4you and was able to fix this problem all by myself. Very easy!

First I turned off the breaker to the dishwasher. I then removed the bolts that held on the inner cover(note the two small bolts go on the bottom one on each side). I lifted the switch up and disconnected the wire clips from each side. I then put the new switch in place with the wires attached. Then replaced the cover and screwed it into place. Closed the door and flipped the breaker back on and turned the dish washer on and it started up. A very easy replaceable part.

Removed the front panel, replaced the belt, the front drum felt seal and drum bearing slide. It now runs quiter and the dry time is significantly improved.

Unscrewed the top lid screws located in door opening.Removed lid.Unscrewed the front cover screws located at top corners of cover, underneath where the top lid was.Pulled out drum,removing belt at same time.Removed the rear bearing unit,installed new one.Really easy.Took front bearing off front cover,it just snaps on.Installed new bearing,with 4 new slides.Reassembled machine,replacing old belt at the same time.Done.It really is that easy.Spent more time cleaning lint out of dryer interior than actual mechanical work,I think.

Put part in. Put the door cover on & turned on & it worked. Thanks for having the part. So far, so good.

Removed door strike and latch, replaced, works like new.
