AED4475TQ0 Dryer - Instructions

First I removed the control lid which was held down by two screws. Then i removed thw two screws holding down lint trap. I lifted the top lid then had to remove the top two inner screws that hold the front panel up. Removed the front panel looked underneath the drum and i could see the pulley system. You were able to see the mark on the drum from the old belt so that gave you a good indication of the positioning of the new belt. Then replaced all the screws and done a fairly easy job and you save yourself alot of money with the repairman.

Originally, my wife was going to call a repair man to come replace the belt. I could not find the manual online since the dryer is at least 15 years, if not older. When I cut the belt and measured it, I did a search on Google and the Part Select website came up. I navigated to the belt and purchased it. Surprisingly, the belt was delivered much quicker than promised, so I was pleased with that.

I did another search on how to replace the belt, and foud the following directions:

1. Remove the two screws holding the lint screen (my dryer has the lint screen on top, skip this step if the lint screen is in the door).

2. Use a putty knife to pop the plastic pins that hold the lid to the frame.

3. Use a socket or screwdriver to remove the two screws at the top corners of the front panel.

4. Lift the front panel to release the brackets that hold it in at the base.

5. Remove the front panel, put a brick or block of wood to support the drum.

6. Put the belt on, trying to get it in the grooves.

7. The idler pulley popped off when the original belt broke. The base of the pulley fits into some slots next to the motor. Loop the belt under the pulley and put the loop into the drive pulley on the motor. The idler pulley will then spring up and hold itself in place.

8. Make sure the front and rear gaskets (cloth, felt and plastic) are in place.

9. Repeat the above steps for putting everything back together, don't forget to remove the brick or wood block first!

Very easy project. Thank you Part Select for shipping the part so quickly - ordered on a Thursday, received on Saturday, even though I paid for the standard shipping!

Just as the other posters noted... I followed thier directions to the T. no problem. It went quick and easy.

put new belt on...

I switched out the thermostat

I disconnected the electricty. I openned the top of the dryer. I unscrewed the front and took it off. I removed the old broken belt. I slipped the new belt on. I threaded it thru the idler and over the motor pully, I put the front back on. I reseated the rear seal of the barrel. I closed the top, reconnected the vent hose, and plugged it in. Turned it on, and it worked.

First I removed the two screws to remove the lid of the dryer. I then detached the 3 wires from the old switch assembly part. I then removed the two screws from inside the dryer which holds the switch assembly. I replaced the old switch with the new one, attached the 3 wires and replaced all screws. It was a simple process.

Remove the lint screen from the top of the dryer, then remove the two philips head screws holding the lint screen channel on the dryer top. Use a large flat screwdriver to to pry up the from edge of the top of the dryer... this releases two clips just inside the top to edges of the dryer top from the dryer front. Lift the dryer top and support it back away from the front. Separate the wiring connector at the top right front for the door sensor. Use a nut driver to remove the top screws on the left and right just inside the top of the dryer. With these two screws out, lift up on the from of the dryer and remove it, setting it aside. Support the from of the drum from falling forward. The broken belt is then removed. Install the new belt using the instructions that come with it, paying close attention to the belt tensioner orientation.

Had to remove face of cabinet that houses washer and dryer. Removed two screws from top of dryer in back, lifted top and removed two screws in front of dryer so I could get to the drum. The hard part was figureing out how to get belt around the tensioner. Got that figured out, reversed all above and turned on dryer, and yee haw, it worked.

My dryer belt was busted so all I had to do was enter the part number on the old belt and PartSelect suggested the belt to order since the old one was not in circulation anymore. The instructions were easy to understand, but getting the dryer belt on and around the pulley was a bit tricky. Thanks PartSelect, I only had to pay $12 to fix my dryer instead of having to pay someone else about $50.

I took the back off of the dryer and then removed the lint chute assembly. Next came the top removal which was a little tricky because the top locks were installed incorrectly from factory. After about 20 minutes for a 2 minute job, the top came off. Now I was able to remove the front and the drum. This left me access to the motor. The hardest part of the whole job was removing the blower wheel. Being made of plastic you must be careful not to brake it while grabbing hold of it and applying torque to the motor side. This process takes two people. My wife helped me and it took about 5 minutes. Leave the motor mounted for this. Once the wheel was off, the motor was then removed, the new one was installed and the process was reversed for assembly. Not very difficult overall and saved me a whole lot of money. Make sure you vacuum out all of the dust since you have the whole dryer apart. It will probably be the last time you see inside it and the dust sure builds up inside after 12 years! Thank you Partselect!!

Open the lint door, take out the two screws with a philips screwdriver. Pop up the dryer top with a flat screwdriver. Unscrew the two screws holding the door switch assembly with a philips screwdriver. Unplug old door switch assembly and replace with new one and screw two screws back into place. Push top of dryer back down and replace the two screws inside the lint door. I am a single mom of five, by the way and it was so easy even I could do it all by myself. I have been an office admin/clerk for over twenty years and I am just recently going to college to earn an associates degree in nursing, so I am definitly no mechanic.

Removed 2 screws and 2 wires, replaced the part and then there was heat.

I followed the directions that came with the part. It said to take off the frount of the dryer.

Was informed that I had a bad dryer motor and no warranty. Unplugged the unit. Removed to screws in the lint trap slot. Used a small blade screw driver to pop the 2 clips at the front of the dryer top. Lifted the top and rested it up against the wall. Removed 2 screws holding the machine front panel. Removed the front panel and removed the tub. Couldn't get the blower loose from the dryer motor so I cut it off with a hacksaw. Moral if you are going to replace the motor go ahead and by the blower too. It is less than $20.00. Popped 2 clamps loose holding the motor in and removed it. Placed the new motor in the unit. Strapped it down and attached the new blower. Plugged it in, put the dryer back togehter and tried it. It worked.
