Is there nothing you can not learn to do from YouTube!?! This video taught me to change my own dryer belt! So awesome :) http://youtu.be/BO8IBoY-wlU
Last week I was doing laundry, and I heard a loud "snap"! I looked at my dryer, and it stopped working. Since I have a family of 7, I wanted to get it fixed as soon as possible. I assumed the belt breaking was the loud snap I heard, so I took off the front panel to check it out. The belt was dangling in the back for sure. My father in law is actually an appliance repair man, so I told him my predicament. He suggest I order a "repair kit", because it's a good idea to replace common movable parts while I have the dryer open. The picture below is what came in my kit. 4- Drum Rollers, 1- Belt, 1 - Idler Pulley Wheel, Washers and some Tri-rings.
I only need 2 tools for this project, a flat head screwdriver and a 1/4 inch nut driver. Below is the nut driver :)
I have to admit that I was pretty scared when I got everything taken apart. My father in law said I could call him for back up if I needed, but I ended up getting it back together :)
This was a messy project for sure. Lint was every where, and it is amazing how much grease those drum rollers have.
Ya baby, I did it!!! After putting the dryer back together and plugging it in I held my breath while I pressed the power button. Whew, it started right up and sounded quieter then ever :)
Its been about 4 days now since my repair, and the dryer is working great :)
