$32.50 and I fixed my dryer by myself. Money has been tight and my husband has been sick for a few months so every bit saved is appreciated. Thank you so much!!
This was by FAR the BEST video I found (after looking at over 20 videos on how to repair my dryer)! Thank you so so much for this video, it was very easy to follow.
This video is amazing! I have minimal handiwork experience but was able to diagnose and then repair my dryer using this video. Only cost me $17.81 for a new belt and the whole process, from start to finish took about 4 hours. Thank you!
As the saying goes, “if she doesn’t find you handsome, she can at least find you handy”. Great video, thanks for taking the time to film and help so many people. Also, you’re pretty handsome AND handy… the double threat!
Thank you so much for this video. I have the same exact dryer and was having the same issue. You have saved me hundreds of dollars. I was able to fix my dryer myself and now know how to fix it for the future. Thank you!!!
Thanks for making this video I have the same dryer. I actually heard the belt break while it was running so I already knew what the problem was. I followed your instructions and it was an easy fix. I did a little cleaning with the shop vac while I had the door off which I would recommend everyone do. Thanks again!
@@willn8664 of course you know by now but you have to take the top off, or at least unscrw the bolts that attach the front to the top. i recommend taking it off anyway, gives you more access to reach everything.
You're a lifesaver! 4 days before all my family comes for a week, the dryer stops turning. I have the identical model & it was the exact same issue! $17 & problem solved! Also, I used the 88" universal Lowes belt & it worked great.
Thank you so much. Ordered part from Amazon fro $11.95. My husband and I used this detailed tutorial and fixed it. I will see you made it look easy to get that belt and pulley lined up... whew...
Thank you very much for the informative video. Exactly what was wrong with my dryer. Wife called me down last night and told me about the dryer. Saw your video this morning and had it fixed in an hour(and 20 bucks). Awesome! Thanks again 👍
This video was a lifesaver. Great angles to show what was going on and what to do, not just describing what to do or assuming we'd know what you’re talking about. The shot of the pulley from underneath... chef's kiss. Thank you.
Same exact dryer same exact problem. Thank you so much for the early Christmas gift (2 days away). Get this dryer back up and running and like you said "make the wife happy". Very detailed and thorough video much appreciated.
I had that same problem with my older , non electronic dryer. It lit up but no motor sound. I thought it was dead so I went and ordered a new dryer. I took the dryer outside and decided too take it apart just for grins and I took the top off first and lo and behold , I had a 2 piece belt. I went into town, got a new belt and fixed the machine for $39.00 . I cancelled my order for a new dryer. Great video. thanks.
First thought it was the fuse, but thankfully came across this video! I was able to keep the wires/top intact and just take 6 screws out to put the belt in place.bought it from Lowe’s for $17
So glad I found your video. $40 for a new belt and a few hours and I fixed it myself. I have the exact same dryer & had the same issue. Thank you so much! 💪
Hey just wanted to say that you saved the day with this post. Exactly the same issue and I was able to replace the belt on my own with the belt from Lowe’s. Appreciate this post and all the knowledge you provided.
Jake, I followed your video to diagnose a broken belt before even taking the cover off! I'd replaced one before, but your steps made it easier. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you! I have a similar dryer. Ordered a $12 belt and it fixed it myself. Didn’t even unwire it, just unplugged and maneuvered the top. Had more issues putting the door and top back on than fixing the belt! :)
So glad this video popped up on my algorithm. I have the gas version and it’s the same issue. Thank you for the step by step super helpful and yes my belt broke too. Waiting for the belt to arrive via Amazon and very grateful for your video. Thanks a million 👍🏽
Thank you for such a clear explanation! So glad you made this video! I was able to assess the problem with my dryer and it's exactly what was described: broken belt. Off to the hardware store to get a new one.
Thanks for the video. Another tip is to take photos of the circuit board before you remove the cables so you know where they go back when you're done. Also if you have a hard time remembering we're all the screws go back it never hurts to make a little sketch and lay the screws out on it. The problem I had with my dryer was it was making a screeching noise. So if you remove the front panel with the door there are two felt pads along the top. For now I just flipped them around so the non-worn outside is now face up. That seems to have done the trick and there is no more screeching. I also took the time to bust out the Shop-Vac and give everything a good cleaning while I had it apart. I was surprised how much dirt and dog hair was in the ductwork beneath the lint trap.
Super helpful. Same dryer, same issue. I was able to complete the repair in under an hour. I was able to do it without disconnecting any of the wiring, which saved some time. Thanks for the video!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have exactly the same model dryer and it turned out. I had exactly the same broken belt. I have never worked on a dryer before but you're easy to understand step by step directions saved me a lot of money.
I had the same clicking noise when I pushed start but I thought it was a broken drum belt and that is what it was...Your video was great in helping me take apart the dryer and replace so thank you for putting it up. The one addition I can make is that it was very tough for me to move the tension pulley with one hand but after some fruntration I realized I was able to reach under the drum with my other hand and that made it easier for me.. Thank you again
I have the same dryer and the same problem thankfully I watched the video first and restart all over follow the same steps as the video. Thanks to you and your video. Already bought the part off Amazon and going to fix the issue. Thank you for the video it helped so much 😊 this means alot to me.
I have GE dryer model gtd65ebsj3ws and had exactly the same problem and this vid perfectly helped me. I found generic 90.25” x .25” belt at Lowes in stock for $15. Belt was about .5” longer than original, but it worked fine. Thank you!!!
A GREATR big WOW and thank you Jake ! I've been searching all over for dual belt drum drive for my GE dryer, your close up shows the belt as ONE continuous black & brown belt...my belt had completely come apart and appeared as two ! You would think the 'professionals' would point out the joined/reinforced belt but none do.....thanks again from Nor Cal !
Ty sir , my problem was a lil different . I took off the heat deflector thinking it was just like the older ones. I found out quickly it’s not . I used your video to learn how to take it apart and common sense I seen it had to line up with a piece behind the drum. So if anyone has lint behind the deflector don’t be like me and take it all the way off. Or maybe thats common sense to . Lol
We also got this very same dryer. The problem with mine were the front plastic bearings the drum rides on, they were worn out and the dryer started making noise when spinning. Also took the time to clean it thoroughly as well as the wall duct. Ended up good as new. Great video by the way!
Thank you very much. Very well done. Jeesh, after watching that I threw that thing back together like I knew what I was doing. $20 fix, if you include the can of beer I got while out picking up the belt.
Excellent, clear instructions. The problem ended up being a memory stick adapter had wedged between the drum and the front piece. When I moved the front panel it fell out and all the noise went away.
Thank you Jake! same issue with the same model You saved me a lot of time. I also removed the left cover while I was installing the belt, which made easier. I know you don't have a space there, but it might be helpful for the others. Anyway thanks again.
Jake, Thanks for the video. It takes me to all the steps that I need. I did stuck in changing the belt. It was so tight I failed many times until my wife helped me lifted up the drum. It is working now. Not sure if it’s the belt too short, it is the same as yours. Thanks
Appreciate the help. I had the same problem. I found that the belt that was on it was 89.5. The lowes ones were about 93 inch long. May have worked just fine, but I wanted to make sure so I did amazon which had 89.5. Saved a few bucks as well. Getting under and getting the belt back on was a bit of fun. Mine had a water attachment so I had to uncompleted the wires on the left of the front. Thanks again.
Jake you saved the day!!! And the wallet!!! My repair started the exact same way you described, and what I mean by that is my wife yelled from the basement and told me the dryer would not start (I know, husbands are tools, oh well). When I found your video it was a bombshell, because not only did I have the same issue, but I also have the same dryer. Can’t get much better than that! Anyway, I skipped the diagnostics, disassembled the dryer, and like you found the belt was broken. 2 hours later (including the trip to appliance store), I have a spinning dryer. I never write comments but I had to share my appreciation for your video. Thanks for the video! And yes I did subscribe.
This dryer wasn’t to bad to take apart compared to other ones I messed with. We tried to vacuum all the lint out of the front of the dryer which caused he blower motor to become full of lint and unbalanced. Thanks for the how-to on taking it apart, only part i needed
Good tip on the the wiring diagram being hidden under the hood of most of them. Hopefully, I'll never have to use that knowledge, but definitely nice to have it should our drier go down!
My dryer just broke today and is doing the same thing that yours did. Same dryer and everything. Lol. Thanks for the video. Will be using it this video weekend as a reference for sure.
I had the same problem with mine yesterday. This was the exact problem I had. Thanks to your great video I also had a broken drive belt. Ordered the part last night. Unfortunately Home Depot and Brinkman’s didn’t carry it. This video was a big help. Awesome. Now as long as I remember how it goes back together lolol. I took a bunch of pictures like you said where things plug in and go.
my mom was ready to call a repaird man and waste hundreds of dollars. because of this video my little self was able to do it for $25 belt fee haha! thank you very much sir.
This is the dryer I have and its doing thr same thing. I hope it gets fixed soon I already dryed a load and when I washed and transfered it. The dryer didn't want to start.
Awesome tutorial. Thanks. Question: Same Issue. Got belt from amazon. Was short. Amazon Product Desc had my belt model number. What was the length of the belt you bought? My belt model number: WE12M33. If I pull belt too much to fit, will it break "idler arm"?
Thanks for your help my belt broke also a Lowes 88 inch belt does not fit on a 89 and a half diameter we12 m29 tension too much. Also your code reader saved me from anger management cause my directions were too faded to read. Cause you can pull the door switch wire out when taking front off .. design flaw thanks again
The belt on ours just broke. We've had it for four years (it came with purchase of the house). Way too many screws for my liking. The best is on the way, I am hopeful, after watching this that I will have a working dryer tomorrow.
@@Jake.of.All.Trades We did. I was amazed at how easy this was. Oh sure there were a few f bombs when I was doing that last bit with the tension arm. Then boom, all back together. Thanks for your video.
Hi, thank you for the video. I can’t seem to get help from GE because i bought my dryer off facebook marketplace. worked fine for 2.5 years until a few days ago. followed your video and like you, the belt was indeed broken - ordered a new belt, took everything apart and put back together with new belt.. turns on and will now go through a whole cycle, but the drum still won’t spin. like i said, GE won’t help me when i call, your video is quite literally, the only in depth video i can find for this model (we have the same one). i have pictures of the belt reattached to the lever/motor/drum and it all seems correct.. is there anything i might have missed?? thank you in advance if you answer this. ❤
Mine was doing the exact same thing today. No codes or anything. Replaced the belt and still the same thing, but I am going to replace the switch tomorrow and see if fixes my issues. My relays on the board seem to be working and clicking just like yours. Helpful tip, I found out that on this model the service manual is wrong about getting it into diagnostic mode. If you press and hold the start, twice the knob 180, then wait 3 seconds seemed to do the trick every time.
If you don't mind me asking - how did you wind up fixing your dryer? Mine was showing the same initial clicking symptom with no drum movement but when I opened up the case, the belt was intact. I kept digging until I got down to where I could remove the idler switch to test continuity, and it seems to be working as it should during an open and closed situation. At this point I'm a little stumped as to the next step - motor?
Jake, you’re the man! Thanks for making this detailed and helpful video. This evening our dryer made a loud BANG then the drum wouldn’t start so we will be following your instructions tomorrow. 😅
When I was running service mode test my door was consistently saying DO meaning door open when it was closed from what the eye could see? Any fix for this.
Thanks for the video! I have the same dryer, I can’t find the model number thought. We are having a similar problem. It is making a really loud squeaky sound, so I assume it’s also the belt. What exactly did you look up to find the belt?
I have the same dryer and was wondering if you had any tips on how to clean out the lint trap without taking it apart like you did or if that’s the only way to get it cleaned properly?
$32.50 and I fixed my dryer by myself. Money has been tight and my husband has been sick for a few months so every bit saved is appreciated. Thank you so much!!
That is awesome!

Mine was doing the exact same thing today. No codes or anything. Replaced the belt and still the same thing, but I am going to replace the switch tomorrow and see if fixes my issues. My relays on the board seem to be working and clicking just like yours. Helpful tip, I found out that on this model the service manual is wrong about getting it into diagnostic mode. If you press and hold the start, twice the knob 180, then wait 3 seconds seemed to do the trick every time.
nice.
If you don't mind me asking - how did you wind up fixing your dryer? Mine was showing the same initial clicking symptom with no drum movement but when I opened up the case, the belt was intact. I kept digging until I got down to where I could remove the idler switch to test continuity, and it seems to be working as it should during an open and closed situation. At this point I'm a little stumped as to the next step - motor?
My dryer of the same model has a different problem. Often the heating does not work, but sometimes it does. Could you tell me why this is happening?
👍👍👍🤝Thanks, with your help I repaired mine
Jake, you’re the man! Thanks for making this detailed and helpful video. This evening our dryer made a loud BANG then the drum wouldn’t start so we will be following your instructions tomorrow. 😅
So good!
This video helped immensely! Saved me big time.
When I was running service mode test my door was consistently saying DO meaning door open when it was closed from what the eye could see? Any fix for this.
Your Assum your guidance was great 👍
Same exact problem. Thank you!
Thanks for putting this together - I have the exact same dryer w/ the same issue. Was able to fix it using this video.
Great to hear!
Hi what if the power won’t turn on? We had to change the 4 prong to 3 prong and plugged it in, but no power. Please help!
I have the same dryer but how many inch is the belt because there's 86inch and 89inch which length of belt should I buy for this dryer
Thank you for this! Saved me time and money
super helpful, thanks for your video!!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the video! I have the same dryer, I can’t find the model number thought. We are having a similar problem. It is making a really loud squeaky sound, so I assume it’s also the belt. What exactly did you look up to find the belt?
Jake This video was perfect. I have the same dryer same problem and was able to get fix it quick. Thank you!
I have the same dryer and was wondering if you had any tips on how to clean out the lint trap without taking it apart like you did or if that’s the only way to get it cleaned properly?
