Single income family of 4 here. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to put this tutorial together. Not only did you save my dryer with this video but our bottomline as well, seeing as a repair or replacement would've put us in the red for sure. And as a side note, it's a real confidence booster as a "homemaker" when you're able to fix things like this. Truly appreciate you as a person for taking the time to share your knowledge and skills
Thank you!! Husband was out of town when my dryer quit, I ordered from amazon got it 2 days later and in an hour up and running! Texted hubby that it was fixed "You fixed it??????" I am woman hear me roar!
So my dryer just made a big thump noise and stopped turning. Your tutorial led me the exact problem, gave me part info. This video could not possibly be any better than it is. Thank you for what you do
Man you totally saved my life tonight! My dryer drum was binding and while I was trying to coax the belt with the motor on, it came flying off the idle pulley. Without a service manual I was dumbfounded to figure out how to thread the belt back properly between motor spindle and idle pulley! Your video saved me an expensive house call for a Sanyo dryer they don't even make anymore! You rock, buddy!!
This saved my weekend! I had the same "thunk" and then it stopped. This video was the first result, and showed the exact same issue. My broken wheel was even in the same spot! $9.77 for the part on Amazon, shipped one-day delivery, and I was back in business the next day. Thank you so much!
I had my dryer thermostat replaced 14 months ago (my machine was 4 years old at the time...go figure) at a cost of $400. He could hear a grinding noise at the drum started turning and replaced this part as a courtesy. He indicated that those plastic parts just don't hold up. Now, the grinding is back again when the cycle starts. Thanks to your video we can replace it. I wish these were made of metal! Excellent video! Thanks!
Thank you for such a great video! Thankfully, my pulley assembly was not damaged. Following your easy instruction, I had the dryer back up and running within 20-mins. Thanks again.
Saved me a G brother. I was about to buy a new dryer when I saw this video and said "hmmm, lemme check see if the belt is loose like that." The rest is history. If you're ever in Toronto, beers on me lol
You are amazing! Thank you thank you thank you for this video! I was able to fix my dryer all by myself. Getting the rubber around that little piece bout broke me but I got it done 🙌🏽 I appreciate you so much
Can still probably try it out, I’d imagine the inside mechanics are similar. Only hard/time consuming part will be figuring out the part number for the part that’s broken. A quick google search for the manual/parts diagram for your model, and I’m sure you could attempt a fix!
When I worked at the cotton mill, we always had bad bearings that needed replacing. But once you did that, those machines hummed, even though they were built in the 80s. I love replacing bearings. A little elbow grease and you're good to go!
I’m so grateful for you! I was able to fix my dryer and have a peace of mind again. Thank you for taking the time and make this video! You are a blessing! 😉😀
Thank You for this video! Belt came off, put it back on pulley & away we go! Works like new again🤗 Easy peezy...took no more then 15min💪 Ladies you can do this too!
thank u! i had the same issue where dryer would start normally but when it's time to get my clothes out, they were wrinkled and not fully dry. found out the tumbler drum wasn't spinning and i was able to diagnose the issue because of your simple and easy to follow video! it ended up being the same isssue as the one you showed so i'm going to order the part now and get it fixed
I must have a newer model as the back hole is much smaller than the one in your video. None the less, I ordered the part and was somehow able to get it all done with my left hand, not an easy fix but it works! $10 fix vs spending hundreds or more on a new one.
Thank you so much for making this video. All the other videos I watched on a loose belts wanted you to basically take your whole dryer off from the front. I had the exact same issue (except having to replace the part) as in the video and was able to fix the issue, using your video in about 30mins (because I also vacuumed a bunch of crap outta the dryer).
Thank you soooooo much, all the other help videos I found and with the symptoms my dryer was having, all signs pointed to the thermal fuse. When I got it opened up though, the belt was way loose. That's when I found this video. Question though, the grey tin plate you removed and where you stuck your arm through is not on my dryer. Same exact model# DV42H5200EW/A3. It is imprinting/stamped in the mold of the shell, you can see the shape of where the tin piece would be. Basically I only have the metal vent pipe size hole to get my arm through, hopefully I can do it one handed. Thanks again!
There is 2 versions of that pulley available, one like you used with a bushing that is the same as the original or a second style that is a few dollars more that has ball bearings and I think will last a lot longer, also I suggest turning the spring around 90 degrees from the way you installed it, the lever action at the pivot point where the screw is is constantly moving and the way you have your spring it could possibly come off, just a suggestion for both of these items to make the repair more permanent, this not a hard repair but on a gas dryer like I have it is a bit more difficult because you have to be very gentle with the gas pipe.
My dryer quit on me so i was about to drop 2k on a new set, then i decided to see if there was a fix and bang here i am, took me a few minutes to fix the issue thanks to your video. thank you now i have the extra cash for boat gas and fishing gear lol
Thanks for the video. As soon as i heard the click sound of the idle pulley on this video and having already seen that belt lose, i knew i had the same issue.
Thank you señor for your great video…is giving me a good Idea about what is inside the dryer cause I never fix one before but I use to be really good at fixing stuff but unfortunately I suffered a stroke and now I can’t not even change a lightbulb… so hopefully with the help of my wife and son we will be able to fix it I hope is the same problem I will be the brain and they will be my arms and hands today is June the 13 th 2021 hopefully we will be able to fix it last night we all finish with the laundry so everything is cleaned and good for one more week…Gracias!!!😃
This was exactly what I needed! I will say, the part at 4:30 is a little confusing -- or at least it was for me. I thought I had to twist the line around the black motor wheel...but after looking at your after part just after that, its just pulling the belt to the motor and "looping" it around that without any twist motion. I think that was probably clear to a lot of people, but it did take me a few minutes to get it right. Either way, I really appreciate the video guide - saved me a lot of money!!
Thank you so much for posting this video! What a useful tutorial!! I was able to ordered the part and fixed the belt pulley , ofc my dad was helping! It saved up lots of money!! Appreciate your advice!! ❤❤
Saved me! Heard a bang while manually spinning the dryer. Of course wouldn’t start, opened up the back and noticed the loose belt but COULD NOT for the life of me find a diagram on how the good state should look like!
Thanks for the video sr. But I need your help I have the same dryer and for some reason its different model number and serial number will this same part fits on it. Thx
Thanks for thats exactly what it was . Except I didn't have to buy a new piece. I just needed to put the pully belt back on, awesome video very helpful subscribed
Thank you - Saved me a service call. Luckily with mine, the belt had just come off the pulley when someone tried to manually turn the can from the front.
Thanks for video, I have one question I opened top cover and found belt is tight and by hand it rotating in this condition WHAT is issue same pully or something else. Please reply
THANK YOU, i thought my mom was going to kill me 🤣. Thankfully in my case it was the spring that let go so i just had to reattach it and then set up the belt again.
