NWXR483GG4WW Hotpoint Dryer - Instructions

Reviewed problems with the dryer on line and ordered the parts. The only problem is that it takes two types of slide bearings which I did not order correctly. The video was great and had no problem installing the parts.

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 followed the instructions on this website, watched the video and read the instructions others had posted about replacing the front Drum Bearing. My initial order did not include the Front Drum Bearing because I thought all I needed was the slides and Felt Trap Duct. It wasn't until I started to put the new parts in that I realized that the Front Drum Bearing had broken where one of the slides had been - which is how the problem started I guess. Yes, it took me a little longer than 30min to do but once I had everything set out, the instructions made it really easy. Considering this was my first time doing a "major" repair, I'm pretty proud of myself. I had told my husband I could fix the dryer and he said, "prove it"....so I did - BAM! signed, 53 yr old awesome woman. All thanks to this fabulous website and the other customers who have posted their info. I will use you again.

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.

Very easy to remove the front and top with a total of 4 screws as per the video. Removing the old piece was easy. The only hang up was putting the new piece on and it wasn't fitting snug. I then realized there was a lip that should sit around the dryer door open. Once I did that it fit perfect and was a matter of putting the screws back.

At first I thought it was the belt but when I took off top portion of dryer I saw belt was fine. I got to this site and found source of noise was drum bearings from postings. I ordered the parts and much to my suprise had it working with 15 minutes. Web site was very helpful.

Watched video first, then diagnosed trouble. Went to internet for cost and avalible parts. Copied parts diagram. Very pleased with price and orderd parts assosiated with front drum. 4 days later parts arrived.

new handle just popped right in the slots

Thanks to the Part Select YouTube videos, I was able to determine how to disassemble the dryer without having to spend much time trying to fixure that evolution out, and I was pretty much able to troubleshoot what the potential problems (and fixes) were via the various Part Select videos (drum slide(s) install, bearing install). The only part that took a bit of time to install was the drum rear bearing. It is an easy install, but it was helpful to have my son hold the bearing from the back (outside) of the drum while I tighten the screws from the inside of the drum. Again, watching the Part Select videos beforehand is a must!

Very simple, if not for having to take off bifold door and dragging dyer out so I could get to it. Far as installation of replacement timer, could have done the job in 5 minutes or less. Removed 6 screws in back of control panel. Raised tab on old timer and twisted counter-clockwise. Removed one wire at a time from old timer and put on new one. After plugging all wires put new timer in slots and had to bend up tab somewhat so it would turn all the way. I did install a screw in the tab, that wasn't there to begin with. Lined up panel and installed all screws and bravo, works like new again.

followed instructions that came with kit. The problem was the instructions were not very clear with regard to the "type" of burner. the "A" type with the slot is explained but the "B" without the slot wasen't clearly explained. Even that wasen't too bad (I had to re-do that part), But you need to be 20 years old to see the damned print. I had to use my reading glasses AND a magnifying glass to read them. Also with the "B" type burner, which I have, you simply install the limiter part and you don't need (can't) adjust it.

Had to tap three holes in the rear bearing to match the three attachment screws. Screw up with the part.

it was easy, it clip right on.needed to give it a little tap to get it in .

Followed the videos on this web site and found out how easy it was to replace the belt,drum glides and felt seals. I took my time and also completely cleaned out the gas dryer from all the lint. Thank you for the great prices, fast shipping and how to videos. Bill d.
