This video, along with a couple others, helped me fix a dryer for $12 myself, instead of who knows how many hundreds. Really sorry to hear of his passing - hope his family knows that he's still helping people every day.
Just learned of his passing, very sad. I sincerely hope the afterlife offers comfort for the tortured souls who can no longer bear the weight of existence.
Ohhh wow, I was just trying to find a way to contact him to thank him for the detailed videos that definitely saved me hundreds on a repair. So sad to know he's gone, but happy to see he still lives on helping people.
This is the first time I've ever commented - seriously, I had to create a TH-cam account just to THANK YOU for this step-by-step dryer belt replacement! Clear, concise, no advertisements or being condescending. I fixed my dryer by myself following your instructions (and a lot of 'pause' button). Thank you very much for valuable service!
Thank you so much. I have NEVER been as extremely satisfied with a how to video, as I am with yours!!!! Crisp, clean,precise and exactly what was expected. No pointless tangents or wasted time. I am now subscribed. I appreciate you!!!
I wanted to say thanks for the great video. Here in 2024, this video helped me replace the belt on a newer Samsung Model. Wanted people to know that even though Bill is not longer with us, he is still helping people with his pragmatic step by step how to videos.
Today Sir! I’ve followed your steps carefully. Thank you for taking your time out to make this awesome video. My Dryer is like new again. I was able to clean the entire inside before I got down to installing new pulley and the belt. My wife is very grateful as I am. Thank you 🙏 Thank You! Awesomeness….!
Thanks for the how-to. My belt had just come off the pulley, and I couldn't figure how it was supposed to go back on. This was a great help and saved me a bunch of money!
Extremely helpful as my Samsung dryer stopped suddenly today. Followed video instructions and quickly realized I need a new idler pulley assembly. Saved myself some $$$ because of this gentleman!
This video has helped me twice now on the belt change out. For Bill's family, thanks for keeping this treasure of vids posted. His mannerisms, video direct format were supreme. I hope is memory lives on with his loved ones. Thanks again.
This is the what made and makes TH-cam great. Last year I fixed a different issue and now I am replacing the belt. Without TH-cam I would 100% have broken the drying trying to take it apart. It also helps a TON to see how the belt goes on visually. Thank you. A thumbs up for sure and a Thank you. A world where we all fix our own stuff (when we can) is a better place. And then call in the "big guns" for tough stuff and pay them for expertise. YOU ROCK.
He passed away? This guy has helped me fix a few of my appliances. He has saved us common folk millions in all the repairs he's showed us how to do. He will truly be missed.
This video is awesome. It helped me fix my dryer when the belt broke. One thing, though -- the idler pulley spring on my unit was insanely stiff and I couldn't get the belt over the drive wheel. So I took the spring out -- its super easy to remove -- and stretched it with a set of pliers in each hand. That gave me the extra stretch to get the belt on.
Thanks for this video pal. I'm a new homeowner so all appliance issues are new to me too. When my dryer stopped spinning I thought I was done for and had to buy a new one. Very thankful for your tutorial, when I'm not lazy I'll post when I fix my dryer. 😅
After watching your troubleshooting video I figured out my dryer popped the belt @8pm Sunday night full of kids school cloths for tomorrow 😁 now that I watched this video it's up in running in 15min! Thank you!
Bill, thank you very much for the well done video. I first saw your one about "Samsung Dryer Won't Start or Spin - Troubleshooting and Repair Guide" and was "happy" to see a broken belt when I took off the top panel. Only $8.64 and 24-hours later I a replacement from Amazon. My spouse and I worked together on the project. Removal of everything was very easy. I had a few stumbles on putting things back but nothing major. If I tried it again I would get it done in less than 30-mins. The biggest challenge was getting my gas dryer back on the periscope vent. We also cleared out a great amount of lint build up before the blower motor. We feel much safer now and we suspect that clothes will dry faster as well.
What a superb video. I'm a bit of a Luddite, so I watched the video and wrote down the instructions on a card to have next to me while I worked on the dryer. The instructions in the video are so clear that I didn't even have to come back to the video to complete the repair. Truly an excellent explanation.
Thanks Bill, I liked and subscribed. You wasted no time getting right to it and I was able to follow what you did and fix my dryer. The repair man is out 30 days and it was $100 just to take a look. Took me all of 15 minutes with your instructions and some help from my wife. Thanks for taking the time to post this. Huge money and time saver.
Thank goodness there was a video guide that was instrumental to assisting my husband with the repair. Keep making videos because we need them. Thanks again Dennis and Denise.
This was amazing, I ordered the part and it came with the rollers, my husband asked why I got the other parts. I told him just in case. When he got the drum out the belt wasn't broken, it was the rollers! He replaced them and went ahead and put the new belt on so we wouldn't have to do it again. Thank You so much!
I was fully counting on the fact that I would need to buy a new dryer. Then I stumble upon this video and boom, just like that it's working like a charm. You saved me hundreds of dollars, thank you so much for the video!
Best ever video that helped me repair an unusual Kenmore Elite 592-893080 Dryer with zero-experience! Due to the bad design, it was really difficult to disassemble the covers and reach the parts from the small vent hole. Many thanks for sharing!
Bill!!!! Thank you sooooo much for helping me save money!!! I cant help but celebrate and do a happy dance!! Im a female and I fixed my dryer!!!! Saved myself $250! Paid $8 for my belt!!!
I just saved a bunch of money because of this video. I’m very handy but wasn’t sure about the dryer but with this simple video I was able to figure out that my pulley for the belt was busted and had to be replaced. Thank you 🙏🏾
Thanks! My son and I followed the directions and were successful in fixing the dryer! Only suggestion is to warn about different screws and keeping track. Great video!
Very nice video, thank you! A coworker just gave me a similar Samsung dryer that should only need a belt, which is less than $10 online (and maybe the idler pulley, which isn't much either). Then I can see if anyone in the family needs a dryer, and if not I can sell it for easy money. Thanks for showing the process and giving me the confidence to order the belt.
I just bought a shipping damaged Samsung dryer from Lowes for $550, usually $1200. Big dent in the right side lower towards the rear. Got it home and there was scrapping noise when it ran. Thanks for this video, I fixed it in ten minutes getting inside and beat the dent out a bit. Great dryer bargain price!
This video was perfect! I was able to make the repair with a 6 week old wrapped on my chest and 2 and 4 year old running around “helping”. All together took less than 1 hour. Came out of the ordeal only missing 2 screws and now the dry sensor doesn’t work. It is a 15 year old dryer so I will consider this a success!
Thank you! My dryer sounded horrible and with the help of your videos I was able to replace the rollers, belt, and idler pulley for $35, and it really didn't take very long.
Wasn't a broken belt for me, it was a broken idler pulley WHEEL. After watching your video I could see what it was supposed to look like since my wheel was missing. Wondered why I had so much slack in my belt...HA! Anyway I subscribed to your channel since your video did actually assist me in figuring out what my problem was. And I will add that your videos are actually very well done, straight to the point and very straight forward. Thank you!
Same here. Melted what's the part number you all ordered to replace? Was it easy to put on? Was there a video that helped you install the idler pulley?
Nicole Arbuckle Abling, I ordered mine on Home Depot website. I removed the dryer vent hose and tube and reached my arm in to replace it. It’s just one screw and a spring. I used this video to see how to put the belt back around it
This video allowed me to fix my dryer for $0 and fix it the night the issue occurred. I otherwise would have paid $100 for my home warranty to fix it and would’ve waited weeks for them to schedule a visit to come out. Happy house all around! Will be watching more videos as things come up. Very much appreciated!
This video gave me everything I needed to replace the dryer belt in my Samsung dryer. A side note is I heard a clicking sound after replacing the belt. I took off the three plastic ribs inside the dryer drum and found a dime in one of them. Belt replaced and clicking sound solved. Thanks for the help...
Thanks for making this video. I just fixed my dryer by replacing the Idler Pulley/Arm, which cost $9.97 plus tax on Amazon. I appreciate your help in having made that possible.
My 10 year old Samsung Dryer belt finally snapped this morning... and THIS VIDEO saved the day!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! (Was expecting a $200 service visit and after watching this video and a trip to the local Lowes... $8 and a beer...... THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!
This video helped me put on a new belt that had broken and I also took the opportunity to do preventive maintenance by also replacing the heating element. 5 star video, Bill Newberry saved me a lot of money.
Thank yuuuuu! My daughter and I just finished changing the dryer belt ourselves bc of your awesome video. Very easy to follow. As we followed the steps we put the screws in numbered ziplocks that we labeled so we could reverse the steps to put the dryer back together. The final step with the pulley was the worst and it took both of us reaching in to get the belt on the pulley and knob. In case another novice reads this grab someone to help. Again thank you!!!
Great video! It helped me replace the broken belt on my Samsung DV438 dryer. NOTE to the VIEWERS: Before putting the new belt on, yank the drum out (it is not attached to anything... it is being held in place by the back and front covers). Once the drum is out, vacuum everything and inspect the tension pulley. You may need to replace that as well (it may be the cause for the ripped belt). GREAT VIDEO! THANKS BILL!
Thanks Bill, you just saved me a $100 service call. Belt had just came off the pulley system. Watched your video and 15 mins later we were back to a perfectly running dryer. Thanks again and this will be the first place I look to if anything happens down the road.
Thanks to this video I was able to fix my dryer's broken belt and destroyed idler pulley on my own. I'm a programmer not a handyman so this was a big deal to me. About $25 in parts and elbow grease. Saved me at least over $100. Thank you for this!!
Called appliance repair shop this morning. "We're booking a week out". Tennant just moved in. Watched your video, picked up the required belt and had it all done within 4 hours of getting the call from my frustrated tenant. You saved my ass! Thank you for posting such a valuable set of videos! I ALMOST feel like I should be sending you a check! :-)
He passed away? How sad! I greatly appreciate the skills Mr. Newberry has given me to repair my appliances, like this troublesome Samsung drum belt - I refer back to this video every time. RIP!
Thanks to your clear and concise directions on how to fix my dryer belt I saved a bunch of money. I am thankful for folks like you that are willing to share knowledge.
I successfully replaced my dryer belt with this video. When I opened the dryer up, there was no belt. It had snapped due to wear. I checked the part number from Sears and ordered the belt off of Amazon. I dried a full 48 minute load and its running great. Thanks for the awesome and helpful video. You saved me $70 on a repairman.
I was so mad I tried to use this video to fix mine and a saw you put the belt on then start putting it back together, I stopped the video started to try and figure it out on my own then I remembered you removed the vent on the back, came back to your video to watch the whole thing and it was just what I needed. Got it fixed with no issues . Thank you
Omg bill, thank you! You saved us $100s with this video! My neighbor helped me replace our dryer belt with this video and now it works great. Only glitch was using my phone as a flashlight and accidently leaving it inside! Was able to get it out after removing the vent cover 😁 Thanks again, keep posting!
thank you for your videos, we have a Samsung dryer that had power but stopped spinning. with your troubleshooting i was able to see that the belt was still on but loose.removed the vent tube to inspect the motor and found that the tensioner had melted from a bad bearing. ordered and replaced tensioner and with this video routed the belt correctly and reinstalled. success.
THANKYOU! Your video worked like a charm & your directions were "spot on". When our belt broke, the spring also came off. Couldn't tell which end went where at first but my hubby figured it out. Your video saved us a bundle. So appreciative.
Thank you. After hours of googling my Samsung and calling Samsung, I came across your video. Not only did I learn my dryer had a sensor on the belt tensioner, you gave me Easy steps to fix it. Samsung quite $275. With your help $15 and one hour of my life.
**TRICK FOR REATTACHING BELT** My model had only a small circle cut out in back so I could not get two hands in and I couldn't get the leverage to push up on the spring while wrapping the new belt around with one hand. Soooo... I took apart the dryer again and used a clamp to secure the pulley in an upright position then put the drum and belt back on, and it was much easier to wrap the belt around everything without having to keep the pulley up. Everything else in this video was great. Could not have done any of this without the video. Thanks!
Just did mine, thanks to you it took about 20 minutes and cost me 10 bucks, likely would have been a hundred to get a repair man out here. I really appreciate your making of these videos, thanks.
Dude, thank you for these awesome videos, I had no idea how to trouble shoot my Samsung (no codes came up) but by watching these great videos I had a good idea what to look for. Turns out the tension spring came off and damaged the belt. Went to parts store, and about hour later, good to go. Please keep up the great work
Thank you so much for you video series on the Samsung dryer. My dryer had a broken belt, through your videos I was able to disassemble and fix the problem saving me an expensive repair bill! Thanks again!
Thank you Bill. My husband fixed our 2 year old dryer last night using this video! He does not like to do home repairs, but you made it easy and inexpensive!
Thank you!!! My husband is our resident handyman, but he was out of town and our dryer broke. I was able to diagnose and fix it (within several hours of it breaking) thanks to your video, saving a few hundred on a repair bill (and getting a great sense of satisfaction and some hilarious social media comments thanks to my chronicles of a wild and crazy Thursday night)! ;) And now I can dry the laundry that's hanging all over the house!
This video saved me a lot of money. Thanks for what you’ve shown here. My Samsung was a bit different and had to put that belt on one handed…. Not easy but doable. Again thanks
Just awesome! When you go searching for solutions to household problems, you hope for videos like this! Thanks so much Bill! Scary moment turns into a $9 repair thanks to you!
Thank you so much for this video! Just bought a condo with included appliances.... After washing my clothes, I had the surprise to realise that the belt on the dryer was broken.... 30$ for a new one and 2 hours of work and it runs like a new one!
Thanks so much Bill. This video was very helpful. Thanks so much for making it. I replaced the belt (it was clearly broken, resting on the bottom of our dryer) per your thorough instructions, but when I got all done, it still won't start and it is giving me a de error. Our meter says the door switch is working fine. Any ideas what to try/do next? I have done a lot of searching and can't find any answers. We have a Samsung model number DV210AGW/XAA.
I have to be honest here this is the best video with full detail that I've ever seen on TH-cam it was short straight to the point everything open will we can see exactly what's going on it's a great job I appreciate it and I have subscribed thank you
man, thank you, I just replaced mine, took me about 25 minuted to do the whole thing, my big arms gave me trouble when doing the last part but i was able to fit both in there. awesomeeeee
This was awesome! Snapped a belt washing football uniforms. Got an estimate for $400 to fix. Ordered a belt on Amazon for about $30 and my wife and I replaced it. I am 100% NOT mechanical but this video made it super easy!
Really appreciate the video! Followed this step by step to replace a broken belt. My dryer doesn’t require to remove the electric board to disconnect the wires to the control panel. Putting the belt on the puller is HARD! Wish they made the hole bigger in the back. If you don’t have the dryer on a pedestal, I suggest you tilt the dryer with some wood. it will be so much easier to access the puller.
Thanks sooo much. I was able to change the belt myself! I never thought I'd be in a situation that I'd have to rely on myself to fix something like a dryer but thanks to you I was able to!
This video, along with a couple others, helped me fix a dryer for $12 myself, instead of who knows how many hundreds. Really sorry to hear of his passing - hope his family knows that he's still helping people every day.
Just learned of his passing, very sad. I sincerely hope the afterlife offers comfort for the tortured souls who can no longer bear the weight of existence.
@@chriscoyle1855 as well s5qw55
Damn. He just helped me for sure. R.I.P 🙏
How sad! He helped my husband and I (we are 68 &71) fix our 17 year old dryer! I hope he’s having a good time in Heaven…
Ohhh wow, I was just trying to find a way to contact him to thank him for the detailed videos that definitely saved me hundreds on a repair. So sad to know he's gone, but happy to see he still lives on helping people.
I know Bill is no longer with us but thanks for keeping his videos online, he was a good teacher and his videos are top quality.
I have no experience w this, yet I was able to and saved 250 bucks. Thank God for this man and TH-cam.

My pulley came off yesterday (Father’s Day)! You are not alone!

Thank you for this!!

Thank you! I used your video yesterday to replace my broken belt! Saved me $300 on a service call! Great instructions!
still relevant, I am no stranger to DIY projects but it was extremely convenient watching this video. thank you.
Thank you! I watched two of your videos and was able to identify my issue and replace my first dryer belt.
Thanks Bill! You just saved me $200 in repairs. I found the belt on Amazon for $9 and followed your instructions. Worked like a charm.
Hey what was the serial number or part number you ordered? Please and thankyou
I too put the belt on one handed in the name of solidarity. This video was a life saver, thank you so much for your help!

You saved me $70 on a repairman.
I was so mad I tried to use this video to fix mine and a saw you put the belt on then start putting it back together, I stopped the video started to try and figure it out on my own then I remembered you removed the vent on the back, came back to your video to watch the whole thing and it was just what I needed. Got it fixed with no issues . Thank you
I am a 56 year old woman and was able to fix my dryer with this video. Thank you so much for saving me money. A rather quick fix!!
Omg bill, thank you! You saved us $100s with this video! My neighbor helped me replace our dryer belt with this video and now it works great. Only glitch was using my phone as a flashlight and accidently leaving it inside! Was able to get it out after removing the vent cover 😁 Thanks again, keep posting!
Thank you so much!!! You saved us an expensive repair bill, really appreciate it!
thank you for your videos, we have a Samsung dryer that had power but stopped spinning. with your troubleshooting i was able to see that the belt was still on but loose.removed the vent tube to inspect the motor and found that the tensioner had melted from a bad bearing. ordered and replaced tensioner and with this video routed the belt correctly and reinstalled. success.
A little tricky getting the belt on the motor pulley. Make sure everything is inline! Thanks for the video, saved me a bundle.
Bill thanks for this video. I fixed my dryer for just $11. Great video and so simple to understand.
THANKYOU! Your video worked like a charm & your directions were "spot on". When our belt broke, the spring also came off. Couldn't tell which end went where at first but my hubby figured it out. Your video saved us a bundle. So appreciative.
Thank you. After hours of googling my Samsung and calling Samsung, I came across your video.
Not only did I learn my dryer had a sensor on the belt tensioner, you gave me Easy steps to fix it.
Samsung quite $275.
With your help $15 and one hour of my life.
Just replaced all 4 bearings, spring and pully, thank you so much! Saved me a couple hundred bucks and some headache!
**TRICK FOR REATTACHING BELT** My model had only a small circle cut out in back so I could not get two hands in and I couldn't get the leverage to push up on the spring while wrapping the new belt around with one hand. Soooo... I took apart the dryer again and used a clamp to secure the pulley in an upright position then put the drum and belt back on, and it was much easier to wrap the belt around everything without having to keep the pulley up. Everything else in this video was great. Could not have done any of this without the video. Thanks!
Just did mine, thanks to you it took about 20 minutes and cost me 10 bucks, likely would have been a hundred to get a repair man out here. I really appreciate your making of these videos, thanks.
Dude, thank you for these awesome videos, I had no idea how to trouble shoot my Samsung (no codes came up) but by watching these great videos I had a good idea what to look for. Turns out the tension spring came off and damaged the belt. Went to parts store, and about hour later, good to go. Please keep up the great work
Thank you so much for you video series on the Samsung dryer. My dryer had a broken belt, through your videos I was able to disassemble and fix the problem saving me an expensive repair bill! Thanks again!
Thank you Bill. My husband fixed our 2 year old dryer last night using this video! He does not like to do home repairs, but you made it easy and inexpensive!
Thank you so much for this video. Was able to find the new belt at a local repair shop and fix it ourselves.
Thank you!!! My husband is our resident handyman, but he was out of town and our dryer broke. I was able to diagnose and fix it (within several hours of it breaking) thanks to your video, saving a few hundred on a repair bill (and getting a great sense of satisfaction and some hilarious social media comments thanks to my chronicles of a wild and crazy Thursday night)! ;) And now I can dry the laundry that's hanging all over the house!
Perfect tutorial. This video, a $20 replacement belt and about 30 minutes is all you need!
This video saved me a lot of money. Thanks for what you’ve shown here. My Samsung was a bit different and had to put that belt on one handed…. Not easy but doable. Again thanks
Just awesome! When you go searching for solutions to household problems, you hope for videos like this! Thanks so much Bill! Scary moment turns into a $9 repair thanks to you!
Got everything done in 1 hour and some change. Paid 12.95 for the belt on Amazon. You saved me a ton of cash! Thank you!
One of the most helpful do it yourself videos yet. Thank you for publishing this.
you just saved me $100s. I bought the belt for $13 and via your video, I have a working dryer.
Thank you so much for this video! Just bought a condo with included appliances.... After washing my clothes, I had the surprise to realise that the belt on the dryer was broken....
30$ for a new one and 2 hours of work and it runs like a new one!
Thanks so much Bill. This video was very helpful. Thanks so much for making it. I replaced the belt (it was clearly broken, resting on the bottom of our dryer) per your thorough instructions, but when I got all done, it still won't start and it is giving me a de error. Our meter says the door switch is working fine. Any ideas what to try/do next? I have done a lot of searching and can't find any answers. We have a Samsung model number DV210AGW/XAA.
Thank you so much brother. It cost me $9 and 2 hours of my time to fully clean inspect and repair my dryer
I have to be honest here this is the best video with full detail that I've ever seen on TH-cam it was short straight to the point everything open will we can see exactly what's going on it's a great job I appreciate it and I have subscribed thank you
man, thank you, I just replaced mine, took me about 25 minuted to do the whole thing, my big arms gave me trouble when doing the last part but i was able to fit both in there. awesomeeeee
This was awesome! Snapped a belt washing football uniforms. Got an estimate for $400 to fix. Ordered a belt on Amazon for about $30 and my wife and I replaced it. I am 100% NOT mechanical but this video made it super easy!
Really appreciate the video! Followed this step by step to replace a broken belt. My dryer doesn’t require to remove the electric board to disconnect the wires to the control panel. Putting the belt on the puller is HARD! Wish they made the hole bigger in the back. If you don’t have the dryer on a pedestal, I suggest you tilt the dryer with some wood. it will be so much easier to access the puller.
Thanks sooo much. I was able to change the belt myself! I never thought I'd be in a situation that I'd have to rely on myself to fix something like a dryer but thanks to you I was able to!
