What is your question?

the pulley may be going is out. Remove the back cover and check to see if the noise is coming from there. If so, they are easily replaced.

If you contact a local Sears Repair Center, they have repair manuals for various major appliance names.

To access the drum, unplug the unit, unscrew screws holding the lint trap in place and using a putty knife or small flathead screwdriver, pry up the lid on the dryer. The lid should raise to a resting position straight up.If further access is needed, you will need to remove the screws and clips holding the front panel. This panel is also where the drum lip rests so be prepared for the drum to drop forward once the panel is removed.

on dryers there is a thermal fuse usually mounted on the back on the air flow channel. It is about 2-3" long and perhaps whitr with plug on leads. About $10 to replace. If you take if off and take it ti the appliance parts place I am sure they would chdck it for you.good luck

Hi

I believe that everything else is fine rather it is the thermal fuse that is located inside the rear panel to the exhaust duct that is bad and should be replaced. If you want you can test this fuse for continuity and if it is bad then it should be replaced, as it cannot be reset. If the fuse is fine then it can be due to the control board that is bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

This dryer uses nylon slides to support the drum in the front. These are very cheap ($5) and not too difficult to replace.

The side panels do not come off on a front-loading GE.

Unplug the dryer.

Remove the screws along the top of the door opening and lift the top upward. Old machines have clips.

Remove the screws on the sides that are about 6" from the floor When these are removed, the panel is loose and may fall, so hold on to it). The front panel (door and all) should be free. You may find it easier to disconnect the wiring to free the panel entirely; be careful not to damage the connectors.

You should now be looking at the drum. Under the drum, in the front, are two little pieces of nylon. These are the slides. If your dryer doesn't have these, it uses a drum support bearing, a large white plastic piece that is about $25.

If you are having dryer problems and you cannot even get the thing to start, then you might want to start going through this check list of possibilities. There are a number of things that can cause your dryer to not run.

A couple of the most common problems are the thermal fuse has blown or the door switch is not operating properly. On many dryers if the thermal fuse blows, the dryer will not run at all. This fuse can be checked with an ohm meter. It should show continuity if it is okay. If there is no continuity then you need to replace it and also find out what else failed. This is a safety device that usually blows because something else allowed the dryer to get too hot. It is usually located in the back of the dryer, on the blower housing. Some are oval in shape and others are rectangular, usually with two wires attached.

A defective door switch or a bent door switch lever can also cause you to have problems. If the lever is broken or bent it will not activate the switch. If the switch is broken, this also will not allow the dryer to be started.

The push (or turn) to start switch can go bad, but is unlikely. To check this, hold it in or turn it and then check to make sure you have continuity with an ohm meter.

If the dryer starts and then stops when the switch is released check the control board or the ?even heat? control on some model dryers. Some dryers have a belt break switch that can fail or your belt may be way loose or broken.

Check for burn marks or burnt wires at the terminal block on your dryer, poor connections can cause all kinds of problems. Also poor connections can cause fires.

A bad power cord also falls into this same category.

Of course, always check that you have the proper voltage to the outlet that you are plugging into.

Hi totalgo...

Note: This method works with most front loading machines.

Remove the electrical console that holds the timer switch, start switch, etc. from the top of the dryer.
Note: Some tops hinge and tilt backwards so they do not have to be removed and the electrical console with stay with the lid.
Also remove the lint filter and the screws holding the lint filter housing in place.
Be REAL CAREFUL not to knock any of the wires off of the timer switch. Then remove the top of the dryer.
Remove the front of the dryer by removing two screws located on either side of the top of the dryer housing and unplug the door switch.
This will expose the drum and belt. Remove the drum and belt and this will expose the drum rollers, idler arm pulley and motor.Now is a good time to replace the front felt seal on the drum if it needs to be replaced. Be sure to use a good grade of weatherproof cement on the seal to glue it to the drum, sometimes the glue is furnished with the seal.
Now is also a good time to check the belt to see if it has slipped off of the idler arm pulley and also to check the belt condition for wear.
Be sure to note the route of the belt, this will come in handy when you go to reinstall the belt.
Check your drum rollers for flat spots or wear, if they have flat spots they will make a thumping type of noise or if there is too much wear on them replace them.
If the drum rollers don't have flat spots or wear on them then they probably only need lubrication. Lubricate the shaft of the rollers with a good grade of machine oil such as 3inOne oil or a light lubricant like Vasoline.
Reassemble the dryer, plug back in.
This should solve your noise problem.

The arm of the dryer is secured to the base of the dryer. You yank upwards on it till it gets above the motor pulley then you loop the belt like this:

If you have a person that can hold that idler steady with a broom handle while you loop the belt on it is way easier. I have some repair photos HERE If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

Hi,

If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly.

if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip....

If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.

check out this electric no heat tip...
