Front of tub will move up about an inch seems of balance also makes a thumping noise
For model number GFD45ESSM0WW
Hello Douglas, thank you for asking. We have researched your model and found that this issue could be caused by an uneven distribution of load or an off-balanced dryer. If that is not the case, you may need to replace the drum bearing, part number PS267865. If you need help placing an order for it, please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

My dryer is constantly making a high pitch squeak. I replaced the drive belt but the noise didn’t go away. What should I do to troubleshoot and replace the right part this time?
For model number GFD45ESSM0WW
Hi Derek, thank you for reaching out. As you have already replaced the drive belt, we would suggest checking the rear drum bearing, part number PS266777. It supports the back of the dryer drum and reduces friction as the drum rotates. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

Dryer is getting warm, but not hot and it's taking a long time to dry clothes, especially towels. They seem to sour because it's taking so long.
For model number GFD45ESSM0WW
Hi Mark, thank you for contacting us. Based on our understanding, the issue is with the inlet temperature thermostat, part number PS1766014. It monitors heating element temperature to help regulate the temperature inside the dryer. We would recommend checking the thermostat to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

Drum belt broke
Removed the front Dryer panel. Left drum in place and lifted it up slightly to get access to motor drive. Slipped belt in place and put panel back on.
This was a first attempt ever at fixing an appliance and it was no big deal.

Dryer would not start
The end repair was very simple and took minimal effort. The time and difficulty was all in the testing. I disassembled the dryer and removed the drum and then hard wired each thermo-fuse to determine where the fault was. After test all of those I was stumped. When I opened the door the light would not come on so I assumed it was a pow

er fault closer to the source. However after all of my testing I couldn't find anything wrong. I then removed the light bulb and realized it was burned out which led me to the door switch being the fault. I removed the switch and soldered the three wire together and the dryer started right up! All I had to do was order a new $15 part, unsolder the wires and plug them in. Would have been so much simpler if that light bulb hadn't of been burned out causing me to over think my diagnosis. This was my first major appliance repair and I did it with only the help of the parts diagram provided on the website.

Broken Dryer Belt
I had to take most of the dryer apart because there is no rear access to the motor. It turned out to be easy to dissasembel the dryer. The only problem that I had was that I could not figure out how to route the belt around the motor and the idol pullies. I could not find anywhere that gave instructions on how to properly tension the belt

. I finally figured out that the idoler pulley needs to be locked in place on the right side of the engie mount. Then the belt needs to be routed over idoler pulley and under the motor pulley. Finally release the idoler pully from the locked postion to put tension on the belt. It really turned out to be pretty easy.
