DBLR333GE0CC General Electric Dryer - Instructions

We watched the video of how to take the dryer apart and how to install the thermostat...after watching the video it was pretty easy

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

I went online to watch videos of how to take a dryer apart. I shut off the gas line and unplugged the power cord and cut the zip ties holding the exhaust tube tight on the exhaust. I took the dryer apart and inspected parts for wear. When I had the drum out and belt off I felt that I had seen all the worn parts. I spent a half hour cleaning the inside of the dryer. I carefully used compressed air, a small vacuum, and paper towels. I cleaned the exhaust vent in my home, and bought a new vent tube as the old tube was worn. I ordered the bearings, bushings, slides, belt, and felt seal that I could see were worn. I also ordered the plastic frame that holds the sliders as it was worn and broken. I used electrical tape to cover a wire for the inside lamp that was worn partially bare. You should stop using your dryer at the first sign of odd noise, take it apart, and install new parts. With the new parts and full cleaning, the unit runs like new. Very quiet. Just be super careful when you install the drum back in and place the belt correctly. You need to look at where the belt goes, memorize that, then put your arms in and install the belt without being able to see anything because of the tight area. Be careful not to cut your arms on the sharp metal body. You could put tape over any exposed edges to make your work safer and less worrisome. Try out the dryer when you are done with the assembly to see if it works without hooking up the gas. It will run smooth, and a little more dirt will come out. Then hook up the exhaust carefully, then the gas. Lastly, try it out. It should work like new, push lots of hot air out the exhaust. When you are done you will feel good and may just decide to paint the laundry room or put up new shelves like I did.

Took the knob and clip off the dryer and stuck the knew knob on!
