Bill, Your video and description and how you went about the work of fixing a Samsung dryer saved the day. I was able to follow your lead to change the rollers, idler pulley, and belt (and clean out the blower which, after 14 years had accumulated heavy lint between each vane - really there must have been a quart!). She went from squeaking and squealing to quiet, smooth, AND much more efficient! Thank you so much for your teaching and just perfect presentation!
Thank you, I had a bad front wheel $9.00 . I was going to buy a new dryer and then I thought "I can't make it worse by trying to fix it. I saved $687.00 Thank You.
Hey Bill Newberry. I just want to say thank you for taking the time to post a video on repairing a Samsung dryer. Thanks to you I spent 45$ and roughly 1.5hrs of my time repairing my dryer! I priced around for repair services and it just was not economical. Thanks again! I am most appreciative for having come across your video! Very simple to understand and perform as suggested!
This video helped me replace my dryer parts with no issues or stress. Following along with this video was so simple and I only had some minor differences in my model. It took me 3 hours to do this which included vacuuming as I progressed and I'm sure you could do it faster if you wanted. This is an easy job if you are handy with basic tools. I replaced the rollers, belt, and tension pulley. 6 years after this was posted and working on a newer model, this video is still helpful, thanks for posting this video! It is one of the best videos I found for this repair!
Bill, your video likely reclaimed half a day of messing around at a time when I can afford these precious moments nor the money for a repair guy to take care of the problem. Thank you for posting this. It was almost exactly the same as my DV42H5600EP dryer. Note to file: don't forget to re-plug in the door open/closed sensor (a 3-prong connector with 2 wires - yellow and white). Thanks!!
Thanks for the video! What I thought might be bad drum rollers, turned out to be a huge amount of lint stuck in the dryer blower wheel. Talk about cause and effect, my wife told me two days ago she saw a lot of lint below the lint trap and she cleaned it out. Thought hit me, "Where did the lint disappear?" The lint was pushed down into the dryer blower wheel making it unbalanced. After viewing this video, I disassembled the unit to the point where the wheel could be accessed. Yes, a HUGE amount of lint was jammed in the spokes. After cleaning the mess out, cleaning the entire area and reassembly, the dryer works great! No more noise. Thank you for the help and saving me hundreds of dollars by not paying for a service call.
I had a whole sock somehow get jammed into mine. It made such hellacious noise I thought the dryer was toast, but I saw this video and realized how easy it was to disassemble (didn't realize the sock was there until I saw that the rollers were fine and started investigating).
Bill, I'm thankful I came across your easy to follow video. I have the same model and it was making a horrible noise. Spent only $27 for the repair parts/kit from Amazon. Works like a charm.... Bye bye noise! For those that will attempt this task, make sure to replace ALL the parts contained in the kit. This way you won't need to disassemble the machine again.. LOL.
Step 1: Disassemble dryer Step 2: Replace rollers Step 3: Question why you thought you could do this after watching a TH-cam "how to" video Step 4: Yell at the dryer for mocking you Step 5: Call your ex-Father-in-law to see if he still likes you enough to come help you Step 6: He doesn't Step 7: Reassemble dryer Seriously tho, great video. I'll be attempting this tomorrow.
Thanks so much. I followed your instructions step by step and solved my Samsung Dryer problem (loud clattering noise). I pulled each section apart and when I got down to the blower I found a hotel credit card like plastic key that had fallen out of my sons pocket and somehow made it down into into the lint trap and finally into the blower. What a noise that made. Cleaned up and remove the plastic key culprit and back running smooth as silk. Mama is now happy! And I saved a small fortune in repair cost.
Bill, thanks for putting this video together and sharing it with us. Your instructions were detailed nicely and easy to understand. You probably saved me a couple hundred bucks in repairs. Worst part for me was waiting for the 4 drum roller to ship from the supplier. They forgot one in the package.
I was going to write a long reply… But you said it perfectly. I just replaced two rollers on my dryer thanks to this video. Fantastic video and very much appreciated.
Unfortunately that’s SO Samsung. Just wait til you need to order a water filter for the refrigerator. I suppose these common frustrations are Samsung’s way of encouraging consumers to hire repairmen.
@@carlacarlacarlacarla5235No one orders replacement water filter from Samsung or any manufacturer, there are so much better aftermarket made in usa ones.
Word of advice: If the dryer is less than 3-4 years old and it's making squeaky noises, the first thing to check is the idler pulley. You don't need to take the whole dryer apart to do so, simply remove the plate around the dryer vent tube (3 screws) and the vent tube itself (simply pulls off once the plate is off) from the back of the unit (you can see this step starting @ 4:58 in this video). From this hole you have enough space to see if the pulley is at fault. Unhook the belt from the pulley and turn the pulley by hand (see this step @ 5:23), if it doesn't spin really easily or if it's making the squeaky noise as you turn it, it's shot and needs to be changed. The wheel typically sits on a metal-on-metal bushing with a bit of grease, so it goes bad fairly quickly with the heat generated by the dryer...
Benoit, thankyou so much for your comment. It was my idler pulley that was squeaking. And it was so easy to locate and replace with your instructions. I want to add I also saved over $50 by ordering the pulley and arm off Amazon. I made the mistake of ordering just the pulley the first time and it didn't fit the arm that was on there.
thanks you! i just did it for my DV45H7200EW, just remove the the vent pipe from the back, leave your cellphone inside for lighting, you can then do it with one hand easily, other models i've seen has even larger back panel can be removed so more room to work, but even this one is not hard. btw, i added a bit of lubricant on the new pulley shaft so it might help it last longer.
Michael Yang I noticed there is an aftermarket idler assembly available with bearings instead of a bushing. I’m going to try that and see if it lasts longer than the original part, (which wasn’t very long at all).

Not necessarily true, depends on your dryer model. My idler pulley is behind 2 screws and you must remove the vent pipe then and sits a good 18 inches inside the dryer so simply changing out the idler pulley is not simple. It’s hard as crap to reach in there with no leverage and try to apply enough pressure to even loosen the screw. Clearly I have the Samsung model that’s a pain in the ass
Holy moly, this is gold. When I started my search for information to help my repair, I wasn't expecting to come across anything as perfect as this video. I know I have a different model but the efficiency and detail of this video is amazing and has instilled total confidence in repairing this myself!! Next step is convincing the wife 😂
I'd like to encourage you to make the repair yourself. It really is just like Bill presents and the results are wonderful. We bought Samsung brand tensioner, belt and 4 rollers for $80 total, cleaned out 14 years of lint from the blower wheel. Disassembly was actually really easy, step by step just how Bill presents. Reassembly was great as well. I think we saved about $300 by doing it ourself (repair person charges $165 to show up and do 1/2 hour, then my $80 parts would have been another $160!).
Hi Bill, This was so helpful. I played the video for a few seconds then paused and unscrewed or dismantled what I had just watched you do, then played some more and you took me through it perfectly step-by-step. I'll get some wheels tomorrow and watch your other video to see how to do the whole thing in reverse. Thanks-a-bunch! Good, helpful video.
Very helpful video. Idler pulley froze, second time in just over a year. First time I paid $275 to have it fixed. Your detailed video made it easy to disassemble the dryer. Parts from Amazon will be here in a few days.
Thank you for your video. My idler wheel was completely shot. Had ordered the "silencer" kit so I swapped out the wheels and belt as well. Note to other Canadians. Called the local parts distributor in Ottawa and got the following pricing. Rollers, $38.43 each. Belt $71.78. Idler assembly $100.16. All with 4 to 6 weeks delivery. The nice young lady gave me the part numbers and two clicks on Amazon got me all the parts as a kit for $63.79. Saved $261.87. No wonder the local retailers are complaining about the lack of business.
Excellent video. Dryer was noisy, took it apart as per video and found both the idler pulley and one of the rollers was faulty. Replaced them both and now dryer works 100%. Very good video.
Wow... This is a great video. I can't believe how detailed it is and how this makes what is probably a very expensive house call for repairs seem absolutely doable. Thanks very very much!
when your dryer making noise..yeah you already known what the noise sound like. trust me, if you actually have this triuble. you will understand. if your dryer dont have any trouble, skip the video. easy peasy
This video and the one how to take the drum out saved us a lot of money! My wife had a washer and dryer in her Costco virtual cart, but searched for a video to fix it first. Your videos were concise and easy to follow. Thank you for giving us the confidence to fix our dryer. Fingers crossed...
The side of my machine was touching the drum making a grinding noise. I used your video to take it apart, and I then pushed out the side and fixed the noise. Thank You
Holy cow! You just saved me hundreds on getting a new dryer in 2022. Parts were $30 from Amazon and bandaid was $2 for me slicing my damn hand. Wear gloves when removing the panels people. GL! Also, the noise for mine was from the plastic pulley melting and screeching. Hope that helped.
Great video, that looks like it takes for ever to get into it. I have worked on older dryers and you can have the entire thing taken a part in less then 5 min.
Thanks for the video! My dryer had been broken for a while, the drum was making an awful noise, so when I saw how easy it was to take it apart, I figured I'd give it a shot (mine is stacked on top of my washing machine in a very tight space, but I was able to disassemble it without moving it, thankfully). My problem wasn't the rollers. Turns out, a sock was caught in the blower which is connected to the same motor that turns the drum! Easy fix, I wish I would have done this months ago! Thanks again!
Thank you! Just did the full service with help from this video. It's a long job but not terribly difficult. Found 1 rear roller killed and the idler pulley was locked up. New machine is +/- $1K and the repair cost me $40.
Thanks for this. Mine ended up being the tensioner, but I replaced all 4 rollers, the tensioner and the belt too. Thanks again, this made me much more confident to do the job.
Thanks again ...i just finished repairing our samsung dryer. Parts kit found on amazon arrived yesterday and i got it fixed minutes ago. Runs quiet again. From now on if i ever have any more appliance issues, ill be fixing it myself instead of buying new. This was very easy. Let me add the replacement wheels in the kit had been improved with lock nuts but were a 14mm instead of the 17mm on originals. The idler was in the kit and included a new belt tension spring . The old one probably would have been fine but i changed it anyway. Plus i saved the old parts that are still functional. Never know when i might find a machine like mine out for trash pickup and it needs a few parts.... voila , free spare dryer!!
Alright. Most professionally implemented "How to Fix". Lots to consider. Could you please update or comment about how much time is needed to disassembly the various components to get to the point of commencing the diagnosis of the rollers for damage and if necessary replacement. You had the video on fast forward. Also, important to mention that maintaining configuration management of the parts disassembly and sequence. Great video. Thanks.
Bless you for this video. Our dryer had been squeeling like a greased pig for some time. Turns out it was the pulley. Thanks for putting this up so I could figure it out.
Thank you! Very informative! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into making this quick little video. It was not long and tedious and your shots were clear and packed with good visuals.
AWESOME video. Just took apart our dryer and one of the rollers is wrecked and needs replacing. Amazon is on the way delivering tonight. Wish me luck!!! Thanks for the great and easy to follow video.
Video was super helpful and awesome! My dryer blower motor was not seated correctly in the cradle and the rubber ring was protruding through the metal clamp causing the belt to shift towards the belt nut 1/16 inch. Just enough to cause the belt to hit the nut every time the drum spun making a grinding sound. Re-seated the blower motor to align correctly in the cradle resolved my issue. All the wheels were in great condition. Not sure how the motor got shifted out of the cradle but glad to get it working. Only took an hour and I am not a mechanic!
I know this is nearly three years old, but I gotta say that this video just saved me over $300. Turned out it was a completely frozen rear drum roller, but I was able to do the labor entirely on my own (with a friend).
Great video. Looked simple, step by step instructions, seamed easy enough for me to follow, I figured I give it a shot! Everything was going relatively smooth. It took about 2 hours to disassemble considering my model was a little different, but I finally got it apart. Unfortunately I found out that my Samsung microwave didn't even have a belt tensioner pulley arm! I feel like that should have been in the beginning of the video. Also, he doesn't show you how to put it back together if you have to cut stuff to get it apart. I was half way through reassembly when I ran out of glue and tape so I just quit! I was so frustrated and disappointed that I just wasted 6 hours of my day and I had no way to cook my dinner! Eventually, I ended up just tossing 4 hotdogs in the dryer machine and set it on high! It took another 2 hours but I finally got to eat my supper! They tasted pretty good but I need to look at my dryer next cause it was wicked noisy the whole time!
thanks for this. all I needed to do was lube up my rollers and the problem was fixed. Feel like more people need to post good how-tos like this. I wonder how many appliances enter the landfill due to some minor squeak that a technician will charge the price of a new appliances in repair fees.
Seems with the new dryers they've hung the drum from the ceiling then built the dryer around it:) My 15 yr old Kenmore seems so simple in comparison:) I'll keep the old one as long as possible. You're brave working on these things with bare hands.
I appreciate your expertise and knowledge of appliances. With all due respect , this video might as well show how to build a complete dryer. Way over the head of a regular person, all those electronics have a tendency to snap off or soldering breaks if you aren't a pro, like yourself.
Thanks for video. My issue was only one roller that an accumulation of dust which created very loud squealing noise. I sprayed we 40 to loosen the dust and put machine grease on the assembly. Now is working like new. I had everything handy. The only thing I invested was time and few scrapes on my hands. The edges are extremely sharp
Thanks for the vid - I should have started with the rollers, but figured if the roller was wearing, I'd hear clunking, not screaming, so I ordered the idler first. Ours was fine, but I installed the new one anyway, kept the old as a spare. Replaced the front two rollers - one was seized and had a small chunk missing.
Just want to say great job job on the video... good filming, dialog, editing. Nice to find a repair video that’s been done well. Thanks and I subscribed.
Awesome video. My Samsung dryer had a bracket behind the right rear wheel and fell out when I removed the bolt. It caught me off guard and didn't know how it was connected but luckily I found a video that showed how the bracket was connected. Just something to be aware of. My model # was DV431agp
Thanks for a great video Bill. I have the same question as Bill Alexander... if the rollers look good can they still be making the squeaky noise? The noise seems to be coming from the front,, idler pulley?
Thank you so much for this great video. Without this Video I won’t able to fixed my dryer I was hesitant at first but since my dryer out of warranty and will cost me more to call for Service I decided to give this a shot since I have nothing to lose. Getting Service will cost me $70 for site visit and $40 per hr for labour plus parts. I'm not electrician or nor experience it is my first time removing a washer dryer. I just don't want to throw it out without giving it a try. I was able to fix my Samsung Dryer Model: DV48J7770EW. For me just need to put some SILICONE SPRAY on Dryer Idler Pulley and no more squeaking sound it remove the rust of the pulley. Both of the Belt and roller are still great condition.
Can't thank you enough for putting this out there. Have mine completely apart now and I'm basically using this as my manual. Idler wheel on the tensioner is gone on mine.
thanks for making this video. i just took my dryer apart . one of the rear drum support wheels apparently had locked up a bearing, and fallen right off . must have spun itself off after the bearing seized. further inspection, the idler roller has also seized and the belt wore through most of it . the drum had sunk after the wheel failure/loss and the back plate has a good sized wear pattern through the sheetmetal where the drum had ridden on it so long. im going to see what these parts are going to run me and put it back together. even if it last another 6 months thats still cheaper than a new machine. might even start looking for machines in the trash to salvage parts or pick up and fix. Edited- parts i need come in a kit (check your model numbers carefully before hitting "buy now" many kits look similar, fit different models) on amazon for $29.99 , plus tax, free amazon prime shipping. i'll have them by friday.
Thanks Bill great video. Finally got around to this. Back right wheel was laying on base of drier so you can imagine the noise it made. Video was paced perfectly and your commentary perfect. Working great!
Thanks, Bill. Your videos helped me diagnose and repair my Samsung dryer. In my case, the idler pulley gave up the ghost, but I was prepared to replace the drum rollers if need be. I did a total clean out of stray lint and replaced the belt while I was there. Thanks for your help.
Followed the instructions, took it apart, cleaned out the dust and lint, ensured all rollers and the idler pulley was working. Put everything back together... and now I'm getting the de code. I made sure that all the wiring harnesses were plugged back in, to include the door sensor. Thoughts or recommendations?
Excellent video! I can't begin to thank you enough! My Samsung just started squeaking and it's only two years old. Calling a service tech would cost about half the cost of a new one, so I'd rather repair it myself. Now I just need to find the parts! One question though, one of my back rollers is squeaking, would you recommend that I replace both of the rear rollers at the same time since I will have it open anyway?
thanks' for all your videos Bill, those are helpful you are with God now, thanks for everything and blessings for for all your family. thanks, thanks thanks thanks,,,,
Yes Newberry’s video you’ll is helpful and useful - but I was expecting to hear the noise Gram’s Samsung dryer was making before he repaired it, to see how it compares to the burning-animal-squealing-in-agony of my dryer. (No there’s not a burning animal. What a relief!)
Great video Bill! Question, can the rollers look good, but still be making a squeaking noise? My sound SEEMED to be coming come from the front, but the rollers "look" good.
@@badhondaman mine turned out to be a frozen roller on the back right side by the heat element. I also replaced the idler pulley and belt while it was apart. Thanks for the reply.
Oh my gosh- this quickly went from "i'll do it myself" to....... "NOPE". You showed all the steps clearly but I'm afraid I'd forget what electrical plugs go where or lose some screws or just mess it up somehow
Just take pictures, put labels on them, mark them with a marker, or easiest of all, just put the screw back into its hole after you take the piece out. Easy fix.
Don't replace rollers if the dryer is squealing. Get bearing grease from the local auto parts store and grease the shaft that the idler tensioner roller is on. There are no bearings in the idler roller and, thanks to this video, I was able to take my dryer apart and fixed the squealing that was caused by a dry roller turning on a dry shaft.
Actually, no, grease will cause additional problem as the lint gets mixed in with it. The part no. has changed to dc93-00634a. Very little grease is advised on the idler.
Excellent video. Do you have any links to purchasing parts, or a complete rebuild kit, basically replacing all the parts you pointed out as parts that wear out from use.
Great video! I just used a long skinny brush thingy I could stick way down under my lint trap. Ever since I did that, it vibrates really loud. Do you have a video about that?
OK, let me start with this my 1st attempt at disassembling a dryer. I realize I need to replace the back drum roller. So far, I've disassembled & removed the front door, removed the drum. But 2 things, while I've unscrewed the top, I'm unable to figure out how to unplug the wiring going into the dashboard, (you made it look so easy). And 2: do I need to remove the entire back panel to access the back drum roller. Urgently seeking your advice. TIA
I cant believe that Samsung uses a bushing rather then a bearing. Mine is 2 years old and the idler pulley completely melted due to the friction on this bushing. Appliances are completely garbage these days. I replaced mine with a real idler pulley from an automotive store. It was a fraction of the price and works like a dream. No squeaks and less stress on the motor.
We have the same problem with our dryer. My husband is getting ready to fix it and he wanted me to ask you - where and how did you get an automotive pulley? Did you just take the old one off and try to match up a size, etc. to it? Thanks!
Great video, just what I needed. Wish I would have watched it all before starting repair. All I had to do was replace the idler bracket assembly. I learned a lot about my dryer though. Thanks.
love your video! it help a lot, thank you so much......just a comment about the video, music volume is too loud, and people like me having hearing issues its hard to heard your explanation.

Thank you for your video. My idler wheel was completely shot. Had ordered the "silencer" kit so I swapped out the wheels and belt as well. Note to other Canadians. Called the local parts distributor in Ottawa and got the following pricing. Rollers, $38.43 each. Belt $71.78. Idler assembly $100.16. All with 4 to 6 weeks delivery. The nice young lady gave me the part numbers and two clicks on Amazon got me all the parts as a kit for $63.79. Saved $261.87. No wonder the local retailers are complaining about the lack of business.
Excellent video. Dryer was noisy, took it apart as per video and found both the idler pulley and one of the rollers was faulty. Replaced them both and now dryer works 100%. Very good video.
Wow... This is a great video. I can't believe how detailed it is and how this makes what is probably a very expensive house call for repairs seem absolutely doable. Thanks very very much!
What is the noise? You should have started the video with a clip of the dryer running creating the noise.
was my first thought, too...
Well, if you're here, we are all assuming, you know what that noise is....lol
when your dryer making noise..yeah you already known what the noise sound like. trust me, if you actually have this triuble. you will understand. if your dryer dont have any trouble, skip the video. easy peasy
@@vietle2987 Only videos I have found that have the same problem I do have all used different ways of describing it and none actually know the problem
Once the noise goes for a little bit, the dryer stops running. So, can't.
This video and the one how to take the drum out saved us a lot of money! My wife had a washer and dryer in her Costco virtual cart, but searched for a video to fix it first. Your videos were concise and easy to follow. Thank you for giving us the confidence to fix our dryer. Fingers crossed...
The side of my machine was touching the drum making a grinding noise. I used your video to take it apart, and I then pushed out the side and fixed the noise. Thank You
Holy cow! You just saved me hundreds on getting a new dryer in 2022. Parts were $30 from Amazon and bandaid was $2 for me slicing my damn hand. Wear gloves when removing the panels people. GL!
Also, the noise for mine was from the plastic pulley melting and screeching. Hope that helped.
Highly agree. Wear gloves! Also sliced my hand up pretty bad.
Great video, that looks like it takes for ever to get into it. I have worked on older dryers and you can have the entire thing taken a part in less then 5 min.
Thanks for the video! My dryer had been broken for a while, the drum was making an awful noise, so when I saw how easy it was to take it apart, I figured I'd give it a shot (mine is stacked on top of my washing machine in a very tight space, but I was able to disassemble it without moving it, thankfully). My problem wasn't the rollers. Turns out, a sock was caught in the blower which is connected to the same motor that turns the drum! Easy fix, I wish I would have done this months ago!
Thanks again!
Thank you! Just did the full service with help from this video. It's a long job but not terribly difficult. Found 1 rear roller killed and the idler pulley was locked up. New machine is +/- $1K and the repair cost me $40.
Thanks for this. Mine ended up being the tensioner, but I replaced all 4 rollers, the tensioner and the belt too. Thanks again, this made me much more confident to do the job.
Thanks again ...i just finished repairing our samsung dryer. Parts kit found on amazon arrived yesterday and i got it fixed minutes ago. Runs quiet again. From now on if i ever have any more appliance issues, ill be fixing it myself instead of buying new. This was very easy. Let me add the replacement wheels in the kit had been improved with lock nuts but were a 14mm instead of the 17mm on originals. The idler was in the kit and included a new belt tension spring . The old one probably would have been fine but i changed it anyway. Plus i saved the old parts that are still functional. Never know when i might find a machine like mine out for trash pickup and it needs a few parts.... voila , free spare dryer!!
Alright. Most professionally implemented "How to Fix". Lots to consider. Could you please update or comment about how much time is needed to disassembly the various components to get to the point of commencing the diagnosis of the rollers for damage and if necessary replacement. You had the video on fast forward. Also, important to mention that maintaining configuration management of the parts disassembly and sequence. Great video. Thanks.
Bless you for this video. Our dryer had been squeeling like a greased pig for some time. Turns out it was the pulley. Thanks for putting this up so I could figure it out.
Thank you! Very informative! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into making this quick little video. It was not long and tedious and your shots were clear and packed with good visuals.
AWESOME video. Just took apart our dryer and one of the rollers is wrecked and needs replacing. Amazon is on the way delivering tonight. Wish me luck!!! Thanks for the great and easy to follow video.
Video was super helpful and awesome! My dryer blower motor was not seated correctly in the cradle and the rubber ring was protruding through the metal clamp causing the belt to shift towards the belt nut 1/16 inch. Just enough to cause the belt to hit the nut every time the drum spun making a grinding sound. Re-seated the blower motor to align correctly in the cradle resolved my issue. All the wheels were in great condition. Not sure how the motor got shifted out of the cradle but glad to get it working. Only took an hour and I am not a mechanic!
very good instruction. I followed exactly what he said and then I got my dryer working smoothly again. Thank you!
I know this is nearly three years old, but I gotta say that this video just saved me over $300. Turned out it was a completely frozen rear drum roller, but I was able to do the labor entirely on my own (with a friend).
Great video. Looked simple, step by step instructions, seamed easy enough for me to follow, I figured I give it a shot! Everything was going relatively smooth. It took about 2 hours to disassemble considering my model was a little different, but I finally got it apart. Unfortunately I found out that my Samsung microwave didn't even have a belt tensioner pulley arm! I feel like that should have been in the beginning of the video. Also, he doesn't show you how to put it back together if you have to cut stuff to get it apart. I was half way through reassembly when I ran out of glue and tape so I just quit! I was so frustrated and disappointed that I just wasted 6 hours of my day and I had no way to cook my dinner! Eventually, I ended up just tossing 4 hotdogs in the dryer machine and set it on high! It took another 2 hours but I finally got to eat my supper! They tasted pretty good but I need to look at my dryer next cause it was wicked noisy the whole time!
Thank you very much - we just managed to do this repair ourselves! Couldn’t have without this video! 😊
One of the best How To videos out there! I got the parts and watched your video and all went well. Thanks for posting it....Nicely Done!
First, I see the rebuild kit on Amazon for about $30. How long did this take you to accomplish?
@@karlnyman2811 I would guess it took me 3 hours.
@@LibertyLakeWildlife thank you👍🙂
thanks for this. all I needed to do was lube up my rollers and the problem was fixed. Feel like more people need to post good how-tos like this. I wonder how many appliances enter the landfill due to some minor squeak that a technician will charge the price of a new appliances in repair fees.
Lubing the rollers is good but if you do it too much, you will be back to squealing. Just a tad is good. Any lube that is rated for high temp.
There were some sticky cloth pieces stuck at 7:30. Thanks for the awesome detailed video.
Seems with the new dryers they've hung the drum from the ceiling then built the dryer around it:) My 15 yr old Kenmore seems so simple in comparison:) I'll keep the old one as
long as possible. You're brave working on these things with bare hands.
Yes the old ones are simpler and better. No electronics either. When the board goes out on these new ones it's $100+.
Thank you so much!! Just took my dryer apart and found that two of the rollers are bad! Problem identified and about to be solved.
I've seen large clumps of hard lint break off and bounce around in the blower assembly causing a terrible noise and vibration. Good video Bill.
+piqua793 Thanks!
Really appreciate this video. Made it an easy decision to get a service call. Thank you Bill
5:58 great video! I had to remove the rear assembly to get at the nuts and remove them with an impact driver because they were so tight.
I appreciate your expertise and knowledge of appliances. With all due respect , this video might as well show how to build a complete dryer. Way over the head of a regular person, all those electronics have a tendency to snap off or soldering breaks if you aren't a pro, like yourself.
Thanks, Bill! Your video saved me a bunch of time and money today!!
"The first front ones are easy to replace" starts an hour long disassembly process :)
was my second thought, too...
Shouldn't take you longer than 15 20 mins to get to them lol
I did both front and rear using this video and I dont think the rear were more difficult.
Omg!! For real!!! Smh
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks! Your tip for being able to get a wrench on the nut behind the drum rollers was a HUGE time saver for me.
Best fix it yourself video I have ever seen.
Great video! Be careful with all of those sharp metal edges though. Ripped my knuckle open and needed stitches. ☹️
Thanks for video. My issue was only one roller that an accumulation of dust which created very loud squealing noise. I sprayed we 40 to loosen the dust and put machine grease on the assembly. Now is working like new. I had everything handy. The only thing I invested was time and few scrapes on my hands. The edges are extremely sharp
Thanks for the vid - I should have started with the rollers, but figured if the roller was wearing, I'd hear clunking, not screaming, so I ordered the idler first. Ours was fine, but I installed the new one anyway, kept the old as a spare. Replaced the front two rollers - one was seized and had a small chunk missing.
Just want to say great job job on the video... good filming, dialog, editing. Nice to find a repair video that’s been done well. Thanks and I subscribed.
Very helpful and informative. I didnt see the link to the instructions on putting the dryer back together though.
Do you have to remove gas line when doing repair?
Step 1 - order all 4 wheels and a new belt. If I go through all that it won't be just to inspect parts..great video. Thank you sir👍🏽
Great video! Gott rid of any anxiety about taking my dryer apart! Found the idler pulley on mine had a chewed up bearing.
Awesome video. My Samsung dryer had a bracket behind the right rear wheel and fell out when I removed the bolt. It caught me off guard and didn't know how it was connected but luckily I found a video that showed how the bracket was connected. Just something to be aware of. My model # was DV431agp
Dear Mr. Newberry your video was very professional, very informative thank you a lot!
Thanks for a great video Bill. I have the same question as Bill Alexander... if the rollers look good can they still be making the squeaky noise? The noise seems to be coming from the front,, idler pulley?
Mine ended up being idle pulley. Hope you got yours fixed.
I'm totally getting notifications for your videos. Thanks bill
Unfortunately, there will be none.

Thank you so much for this great video. Without this Video I won’t able to fixed my dryer I was hesitant at first but since my dryer out of warranty and will cost me more to call for Service I decided to give this a shot since I have nothing to lose. Getting Service will cost me $70 for site visit and $40 per hr for labour plus parts. I'm not electrician or nor experience it is my first time removing a washer dryer. I just don't want to throw it out without giving it a try. I was able to fix my Samsung Dryer Model: DV48J7770EW. For me just need to put some SILICONE SPRAY on Dryer Idler Pulley and no more squeaking sound it remove the rust of the pulley. Both of the Belt and roller are still great condition.
Can't thank you enough for putting this out there. Have mine completely apart now and I'm basically using this as my manual. Idler wheel on the tensioner is gone on mine.
Great vid. Concise and accurate. Thanks for sharing your skills.
thanks for making this video. i just took my dryer apart . one of the rear drum support wheels apparently had locked up a bearing, and fallen right off . must have spun itself off after the bearing seized. further inspection, the idler roller has also seized and the belt wore through most of it . the drum had sunk after the wheel failure/loss and the back plate has a good sized wear pattern through the sheetmetal where the drum had ridden on it so long. im going to see what these parts are going to run me and put it back together. even if it last another 6 months thats still cheaper than a new machine. might even start looking for machines in the trash to salvage parts or pick up and fix. Edited- parts i need come in a kit (check your model numbers carefully before hitting "buy now" many kits look similar, fit different models) on amazon for $29.99 , plus tax, free amazon prime shipping. i'll have them by friday.
Thanks Bill great video. Finally got around to this. Back right wheel was laying on base of drier so you can imagine the noise it made. Video was paced perfectly and your commentary perfect. Working great!
Thanks, Bill. Your videos helped me diagnose and repair my Samsung dryer. In my case, the idler pulley gave up the ghost, but I was prepared to replace the drum rollers if need be. I did a total clean out of stray lint and replaced the belt while I was there. Thanks for your help.
Great Teacher!
Followed the instructions, took it apart, cleaned out the dust and lint, ensured all rollers and the idler pulley was working. Put everything back together... and now I'm getting the de code. I made sure that all the wiring harnesses were plugged back in, to include the door sensor. Thoughts or recommendations?
Excellent video! I can't begin to thank you enough! My Samsung just started squeaking and it's only two years old. Calling a service tech would cost about half the cost of a new one, so I'd rather repair it myself. Now I just need to find the parts!
One question though, one of my back rollers is squeaking, would you recommend that I replace both of the rear rollers at the same time since I will have it open anyway?
Your video just saved us $1,299 from buying a new dryer. THANK YOU!!!
Awesome video. Step by step, it lead me straight to the problem with that front roller.
Brutal. Have to disassemble the entire dryer. I’ll buy a new one
thanks' for all your videos Bill, those are helpful you are with God now, thanks for everything and blessings for for all your family. thanks, thanks thanks thanks,,,,
Awesome video. This one and another one of his I watched tonight. Very easy and nicely detailed. Thanks!
Yes Newberry’s video you’ll is helpful and useful - but I was expecting to hear the noise Gram’s Samsung dryer was making before he repaired it, to see how it compares to the burning-animal-squealing-in-agony of my dryer.
(No there’s not a burning animal. What a relief!)
Great video Bill! Question, can the rollers look good, but still be making a squeaking noise? My sound SEEMED to be coming come from the front, but the rollers "look" good.
Hi Bill, my dryer has the same symtoms, rollers look fine. Did you find the problem?
@@rustyadams6896 mine appears to be the idle pulley. It was froze up. Which ruined the belt. Just getting it back together now.
@@badhondaman mine turned out to be a frozen roller on the back right side by the heat element. I also replaced the idler pulley and belt while it was apart. Thanks for the reply.
Thank you, Bill! Excellent video! So appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
Thank you Bill!!! Great video, very simplistic. Well edited too.
Oh my gosh- this quickly went from "i'll do it myself" to....... "NOPE". You showed all the steps clearly but I'm afraid I'd forget what electrical plugs go where or lose some screws or just mess it up somehow
Just take pictures, put labels on them, mark them with a marker, or easiest of all, just put the screw back into its hole after you take the piece out. Easy fix.
You are a life saver my dude!
Thanks a lot Bill. Your video helped me a lot. saved me time and money.
Great video - helped me fix a rear roller wheel
That soundtrack, just couldn't quite describe a comparison. Try like a Miami Vice, Crockett and Tubbs thing
Don't replace rollers if the dryer is squealing. Get bearing grease from the local auto parts store and grease the shaft that the idler tensioner roller is on. There are no bearings in the idler roller and, thanks to this video, I was able to take my dryer apart and fixed the squealing that was caused by a dry roller turning on a dry shaft.
Actually, no, grease will cause additional problem as the lint gets mixed in with it. The part no. has changed to dc93-00634a. Very little grease is advised on the idler.
A lot easier than putting a cam and supercharger on my camaro apparently. Thanks!
Good Video. Fixed my Dryer. THX.
This was so easy! Of course your amazing video had a bit to do with it!
Excellent video. Do you have any links to purchasing parts, or a complete rebuild kit, basically replacing all the parts you pointed out as parts that wear out from use.
I LOVE that music! What is it? Oh and great video. Really helped me👍🏻
ianjsutt lol I really do love that music!
Great video! I just used a long skinny brush thingy I could stick way down under my lint trap. Ever since I did that, it vibrates really loud. Do you have a video about that?
Awesome video makes dryer repair easy ,thanks for posting.
OK, let me start with this my 1st attempt at disassembling a dryer. I realize I need to replace the back drum roller. So far, I've disassembled & removed the front door, removed the drum. But 2 things, while I've unscrewed the top, I'm unable to figure out how to unplug the wiring going into the dashboard, (you made it look so easy). And 2: do I need to remove the entire back panel to access the back drum roller. Urgently seeking your advice. TIA
Nice presentation thx
I cant believe that Samsung uses a bushing rather then a bearing. Mine is 2 years old and the idler pulley completely melted due to the friction on this bushing. Appliances are completely garbage these days. I replaced mine with a real idler pulley from an automotive store. It was a fraction of the price and works like a dream. No squeaks and less stress on the motor.
parker woo
p wood Thanks for this idea
What size or part number idler would you need for a direct replacement?
They redesigned the part with a bearing. Like it should have been
We have the same problem with our dryer. My husband is getting ready to fix it and he wanted me to ask you - where and how did you get an automotive pulley? Did you just take the old one off and try to match up a size, etc. to it? Thanks!
Great video, just what I needed. Wish I would have watched it all before starting repair. All I had to do was replace the idler bracket assembly. I learned a lot about my dryer though. Thanks.
Very thorough, thank you!
Bill doesn't the drum have felt on the front and back of drum? I picked up a Samsung drier and washer and the drier supposedly needs the felt replace?
love your video! it help a lot, thank you so much......just a comment about the video, music volume is too loud, and people like me having hearing issues its hard to heard your explanation.
Thanks for the feedback! I have been cutting the volume down a bunch! Where you able to fix your machine?
loved this vid. very helpful. short and sweet and straight to the point.
