Peter K Hawthorn Woods , IL March 08, 2017 Noisy drum pulley or motor The video was quite helpful with step by step instructions. I ordered a belt and idler pulley before dismantling assuming they were the issues. Belt was easy and fit fine but I did not realize the idler pulley was secured with a special fastener, push on cap nut, that would be damaged if removed. So I left it in place. Original pulley seemed fine so I reassembled the dryer. Restarted and of course the noise remained. I ordered the push on fastener and also the drum bearing as a precaution. I suggest anyone with a noisy drum replace belt, pulley,drum bearing and the pulley fastener. May as well spend a little more parts money instead of wasting labor and extending downtime. It works great. Read More... 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers

David R Marysville , OH January 17, 2016 Appliance: General Electric Electric Dryer DWSR483EB0WW Dryer drum front support bearing and related parts The install went fine not hard at all, thank goodness for you tube, that was how I was able to figure out what parts were needed without disassembly first. There are videos up on you tube with sound bites of what kind of noises a dryer will make, make sure you have your model number, which was on the inside of the door on my GE Dryer. If you're doing the Dryer Drum Front Support Bearing make make sure you have it completely seated on the lip inside the door. I also elected to order a new belt and idler pulley just in case, glad I did, the belt needed to be replaced also it was loosing small pieces of the belt. I could go into depth here on how to do that, but there are plenty of videos on how to do that on you tube. Read More...

Nicolas S Monrovia , CA November 24, 2016 My 20 year old ge dryer broke it's belt and the tension pulley shattered on the inside of the cabinet First, I watched a YouTube video on belt replacement. I opened the cabinet and found the broken pulley as well as the belt. I ordered replacement parts, and waited for then to arrive by FedEx ground, the slowest form of delivery known to man. I wish they had used Priority Mail or UPS, either of which are faster by days. The repair took less than a half hour to complete, and the dryer is back in business. Read More...

Steve P Van Alstyne , TX December 15, 2020 Appliance: General Electric Electric Dryer DPXR483EA1WW Yes and the new idler pulley also fit perfectly. I did this repair for a senior neighbor of ours. Just removed the top; one side and the front panel of the dryer to gain access to the pulley area. Then removed the broken one and put the new pulley on. Fastened the dryer panels back together and tested, the dryer operated perfectly with this new part. This was a very easy repair because the correct part was exactly what we ordered from Appliance Parts Pros Steve P Texas Read More...
