Thank you so much for this video! I don’t know what I would have done without it. I heard a snap in my dryer and the drum stopped spinning. Turns out, it was the white tensioner pulley that broke. I purchased replacement parts for $30! Added bonus, I was able to really deep clean the guts of the dryer since I took it all apart. You save me, I’m sure, hundreds of dollars. Much thanks!!
Excellent video - thank you so much. I thought that I might as well replace the belt while I was doing the tensioner. Because I had the front off, I was able to tape the belt in place on the drum and then lay the dryer on it’s front so I could stand and see inside the hole while putting the belt over the tensioner. My unit had just the tiny hole for one arm only. I was also able to replace the tensioner arm fnother 50 cents to put bearings in the pulley. Mine was burned halfway through after five years of use. Thanks again.
Tensioner Tip - great video... i watched it as I was changing the vent to the left side (rather than the center) - adding the left turn pipe made that hole tensioner fiasco much harder (plus I have the model with the small hole!). What I did was drill two small holes on the side of the washer and ran cable ties to hold the tensioner back while I positioned the belt, then cut / removed the cable ties... made things SUPER easy!
@@becausestuffbreakswhere is it. How did you get your two hands to pull the pulley into place. I am baffled. Im having a hard time strexhing the pulley into place. I replaced the whole pulley set.
Excellent how to video! You helped me through mine and its a different model but all the disassembly was the same. Unfortunately I have to do the idler arm as well because the plastic pulley on it broke. I imagine they make the new belts a tad too tight and they need to be broken in like a new pair of work boots to fit perfectly. Thanks again!
Yep. My new belt was very tight and squeaked for several loads before it got broke in. I had replaced the belt tensioner pulley shortly before this repair.
Thanks.. I've had to replace the idler pulley before, but this was a good refresher on how to get into the dryer because it's making noises now like it's gonna die any second! Looks like I'm going to need to figure out what to order!!
@@becausestuffbreaks Thanks - I would use your link, but when I went to look at the dryer, I found the box of parts I had bought last time, and I still have 2 wheels, a new belt, and the idler pulley, although no spring.. all left from last time, with an amazon slip dated 2018! I guess I only had to replace the spring last time, I dont remember! Ironically, the funny noise it was making before has now stopped, and it's running fine again, so I guess I'll be waiting to see what breaks before taking this thing apart! I am not looking forward to squeezing back there to disconnect and then reconnect the exhaust!
@@becausestuffbreaks Thanks! I'll need it. You'll probably hear the cursing from here, as a struggle to get it all back together, but your video helped a lot and maybe it wont be as hard as I remember..
Fixed! put belt on pulley first which was extremely tight had someone rotate drum a little as I trying pushing it on then the really hard part needed someone strong to attach spring. It finally worked. Thx for your support!!👍
Replaced idler pulley and spring. Now if you stand on front of the dryer the drum is turning the wrong way (clockwise) runs for 10-15 seconds and shuts off ?
I have a question I have the same dryer, I think my motor is going bad, can I buy any Samsung motor?? Or does it have to be a specific one for the dryer??
Could be the tensioner. Here's my video showing what the dryer was doing when my tensioner went bad and how to change it: th-cam.com/video/ilF-H8YnFSM/w-d-xo.html
Hi I tried replacing the belt but it's so tight I can only get it around tensioner it doesn't reach the other side. I tried for hours I'm exhausted. The spring is so tight. When I watch the videos it looks like an elastic band mine doesn't budge. Thx did I do something wrong?
Maybe. I had the same problem with it being tight in the video. You can also access it from the front if you watch other videos. You can also take the front off and that will let the drum down and give you some slack. Make sure it's not twisted on the drum. Also make sure it is in the correct place that it rides on the drum. Make sure it's routed correctly and not snagged on something like the heating element.
Sorry about the garbled cut and paste. Again, thanks. Because of people like you, I can repair this for $18 in parts instead of hundreds on a service call. A great public service!
No pipe from fan housing to exit vent??? Mine doesnt have one and yours didnt seem to have one. So the long just blows around inside the bottom??? Can't be
My Samsung dryer doesn't have a removable plate in the back, just a hole big enough for the exhaust pipe. Therefore, pushing back the tension pulley and looping the belt around the drive pulley was a one-handed exercise after memorizing where and how everything went. I hope they added the removable plate after discovering the poor design, but part of me is thinking they removed the plate to cut costs.
When I had the front off after I put idler and new belt on i reached around the vottom left side of drum to attach belt. Wasnt too bad. I had the same system of just exhaust hole, wasnt gonna tey from that end

You are a treasure! Thank you. We live far away from any kind or repairman or service. You really helped us out.
Awesome! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Thank you. I watched several videos before finding yours. Yours was by far the most helpful.
Awesome! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much, just bought a home with one of these dryers. Your walkthrough was excellent
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video! Step by step helped me a lot. I was grunting about the same trying to put that belt on. 🤣
I think there's probably a better way to get the belt on the pulley. Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

Awesome “how to” video, thanks. I’d rather do things right the first time, and this gave me the confidence to do it.
I know what you mean. Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I also have a video showing how to do it from the front and it was a lot easier, I thought.

Saved me some $$$$$ by doing it myself. Thanks for the video!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
The idleler pulley went out on ours. So just purchased both belt and idler pulley I might as well replace both. Thank you for showing this...
Very smart. I changed this belt shortly after I replaced my pulley. Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Great video, i mever realized how easy this actually was
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Fixed! put belt on pulley first which was extremely tight had someone rotate drum a little as I trying pushing it on then the really hard part needed someone strong to attach spring. It finally worked. Thx for your support!!👍
Sweet! Thanks for watching!
Perfect… fixed! Thanks for taking the time.
Perfect! Thanks for watching!
Great video! Thanks for your time.
Also not one speck of lint that’s impressive! Mine looked like the inside of a vacuum 😬
I had taken it apart not long before this video for another repair and cleaned it also. Thanks for watching!
Thanks❤ helped a lot❤️❤️
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
I fixed my belt! Saved me hundreds!!!!
Sweet! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
great video!
Thanks and Thanks for watching!
Replaced idler pulley and spring. Now if you stand on front of the dryer the drum is turning the wrong way (clockwise) runs for 10-15 seconds and shuts off ?
Thx a lot I will👍
I have a question I have the same dryer, I think my motor is going bad, can I buy any Samsung motor?? Or does it have to be a specific one for the dryer??
well its been a month so this probably wont help, but you need that specific models motor
It doesn't need to be a Samsung brand of motor but it has to be the same model#
I have the same dryer and mine is humming and really struggling to turn does this have to do with that?
Could be the tensioner. Here's my video showing what the dryer was doing when my tensioner went bad and how to change it: th-cam.com/video/ilF-H8YnFSM/w-d-xo.html

Awesome! Glad I could help. All glory to God for what He is working through me.
Can you tell me what size belt?
Here's the part number so you can look for it: 6602-001655
No pipe from fan housing to exit vent??? Mine doesnt have one and yours didnt seem to have one. So the long just blows around inside the bottom??? Can't be
Saw the exhaust tube. Thanks
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Ok will try tomorrow. I thought maybe I put belt to far forward in that groove and it should b on the drum itself. But thx will try again.
Good luck. Let me know how it goes.
Very helpful video. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
What size belt did you use?

When I had the front off after I put idler and new belt on i reached around the vottom left side of drum to attach belt. Wasnt too bad. I had the same system of just exhaust hole, wasnt gonna tey from that end
Any idea where I can purchase the drum?

I didn’t see how you put the belt on the pulley
Watch this video. I show it much more clear in it: th-cam.com/video/dbdKFMJbUJE/w-d-xo.html
How in the world did you fit your two hands to get the pulley on. It's a bitch. This is why im watching your video. Im baffled.
I show how to put it on from the front in this video: th-cam.com/video/dbdKFMJbUJE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MnAMliON8tnIT_CX
