$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.
Thanks man! This was a HUGE service call charge saver! 32 bucks later and I’m fixed. Tipping you for your knowledge and hard work!
You saved us over $800.00 for a new dryer!! You are a God send! Thank you!!!!!

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!
This video helped me to fix the same issue with my GE dryer... Saving me time and money. From one Jake to another.. thank you thank you thank you.
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!

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.
Thank you. I despise DIY projects but this video was an immense help and allowed me to retain my sanity.
You are the GOAT 🐐!! As a single mom who didn’t want to buy a new dryer, I feel so accomplished that I replaced the belt on my own🥹
Thank you so much! We got this dryer second hand, and you saved us so much money in calling a tech out. Much love ! ❤
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.
I’m glad to find your video!!! Thank you for these easy instructions and saved me some money.
Same dryer. Same problem. Same solution. Thank you for this video!
Thank you for posting this, my dryer had the same exact issue, and your video saved me a lot of time and trouble shooting. Very much appreciated.

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!
Fantastic video. This is exactly what my problem was. Thanks for sharing.
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.

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.
Thank you so much, great instructional video with a step by step procedures. it worked, I was able to fix my GE electric dryer.
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 !

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
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.
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.

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.
This video helped immensely! Saved me big time.
Great video and very helpful
Thank you. We fixed my dryer.
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

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.

Good video very detailed thanks thought it was my belt because I could turn the drum with my pinky thanks for the step by step
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.

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.
