Sir - That was a PERFECT example of how to explain disassembly. Excellent camera work, clear speaking, no extraneous talking. All youtube DIY video producers should use your style and delivery as a guide.

I don't know who this guy is but I LOVE HIM!!! He's a GREAT Teacher. Fixed it MYSELF!!!

Excellent video. My son left a homemade bracelet in his pocket and it exploded in the dryer. Beads all over in the lint filtration area. Dryer started making a terrible noise. I appreciate this video very much

Camera angles, how he moves slowly and explains everything, and the helpful tips make this the perfect video. I'm glad I found this video. Thank you!

Thank you guys for putting this together! Career auto worker of 22 years; first time appliance repair. I really needed something like this to walk me through the steps and construction. The camera work and narration were spot on. I will purchase my parts from you guys once I have this figured out. ❤️ 🍻

A person could watch your videos and easily take a profession in appliance repair. Very well done.

Finally somebody knows what they're doing knows how to tell people a excellent video

Very informative video. I simply needed to take out the front panel so I could more easily get rid of who knows how many years of lint that had made it past the filter and settled on the intake of the blower motor. I put it back together and just ran a load to dry, so far so good - I was half worried I would reassemble it the "wrong way" but watching this video and just doing the disassembly in reverse helped a lot.

A million Ty's to you for a perfect video! I have NO complaints whatsoever. I really wish all videos were this straightforward.

Very impressed with the quality of the content on this disassembly video. Great inside shot of the idler assembly. Really well done, and informative otherwise as well. I'll order parts from you guys as soon as I get it diagnosed.

Wow! This is a wonderful video! Your explainations were clear and percise. You spoke slowly and your hands were clean. Great job.

just disassembled to replace the solenoids for my (similar model) GE gas dryer. Getting the belt back on the pulley was the hardest part, but the dryer is working like new! Thanks for the great video.

This was a perfect guide and easy to follow - thanks!

Straight to the point. Clear instructions. Saved the day.

Muy bien… Muchas gracias por su gran trabajo saludos desde mexico

this video was incredibly useful! thank you for making it!

Here's a pro tip from AlaskaErik. Not all GE dryers disassemble this way. Mine is a regular front loader that I bought in 2015. To disassemble mine, I have to remove two screws from the back and slide the control panel back and then rotate it forward. Then I have to remove the five screws holding the control panel access panel located in the rear of the control panel. Then I have to remove all the wiring hooked up to the various switches so the control panel can be removed and placed aside. Once that's done, then I can remove the two screws located above the front door opening, as well as two screws located at the back, so that the the top panel can be removed. After that, it's the same as in the video. It seems GE was bound and determined to make owner/user repairs much more complicated than they need to be. It's a safe bet they want to call the GE service technician. So far, on my dryer, I've had to replace the igniter and the drum bearing assembly. Those two service calls would have probably cost me $500 to $600 total. I didn't pay much more than that for the dryer to begin with. For something that's had an easy life with maybe 1000 to 1500 cycles, that's not a very good record. My last GE dryer that I bought, in 1991, was still going strong when I sold the house in 2006 But here's the best pro tip. More than likely, once you remove the back cover of the control panel, you'll find disassembly instructions and a schematic taped to the back of that back panel. You can also remove that panel first, even though that's not how GE sequences the disassembly process, in order to get that instruction sheet.

I wouldn't start unplugging everything from the switches unless you mark it all. Especially if you have a dryer with all the bells and whistles, more dials, more wires with terminal connections.

Thank you for this video, it gave me a nice start so when I got my brand new GE dryer, I was able to disassemble it, to install the two screws, that the assemblers, didn't install, not lol.

That was a very helpful & informative video. Thanks for posting!

These newer dryers come apart a little differently than the old ones. Not as easily serviced as my old Whirlpool with a rear panel easily removed for access to element and various components. The concept of how it works is the same but the design of the components, the heating element especially is laid out much differently. Thanks. 👍

Thank you very much! Incredibly helpful!!

Love my GE dryer 👍 Thanks

Very helpful. Thanks very much!👍🏽✌🏽

Thank you for this valuable information.

Thank you! Very helpful video

Outstanding, thank you!

Very informative. Thank you.

My GE dryer didn’t work for one week, so I just found this video on KZread and disassembled the machine following the steps. It’s incredible useful! And I found the problem of my dryer is the belt has been broken. Now my question is how I should choose the replacement belt if I can’t find the machine model😂

AWESOME now how do you put the belt back on?

Thank you!

Well explained thank you. My problem now: how to put the strap in the tension pulley?

I have had my GE dryer since around 1998 or 99 but different model and worked perfectly up until a month ago, it suddenly started making a squeaking/scratching noise and can’t figure out where it’s coming from but sounds like it’s coming from the side.

Thank You👍

Very helpful👍🏻💪

Should the white wheel part where the belt goes with pulley slide on the pulley? Yours looks secure but mine slides back and forth on the pulley

thank you so much.

Isn't it possible to access the thermostats and safety cutoff from the rear, without removing the drum? I have seen these fail very often , and on dryers I have fixed these are easily accessible by removing the rear panel.

What is the cubic feet for this dryer? I have the exact one and can’t find it anywhere. Thanks.

Thank You!👍🏽

Hello. Thanks a lot for this video. I want ask You something: I have a GE Gas Dryer and when it's hot stops by itself, then a few minutes later I turn it on again and it works for around 10 or 12 minutes an stops again. May You give an idea what could be the problem? Good Night.

What’s the cubic unit for this dryer? I have to replace this model

Mine does not have the 2 screws in that location,, will keep looking

When I put the dryer back to gether the tube doesn't fit tight what did I do wrong

Hello I'm having a hard time taking off top panel. Mine don't have those first 2 long srews where are mine

What about something as simple as taking off the back pan ? How would you do that ?

Well, it’s half good, what about how to put the new belt back on with the idler tension, pulley by yourself, or with somebody else or how do you put the belt on? Yeah, I’m lost. 😮

I am having a problem with my Samsung dryer. The model number is DD40J300DAWA20 number is 0DL95AUG606230F it runs, but it does not heat up. I would like to know how I could check and I have done everything that I pulled up today cleaning inside cleaning the inside of the filter, can you help me?

I have a used GE dryer almost exactly the same as the one in this video but there is no model number ANYWHERE. Could you give me the model number of the unit you are working on? Thanks

U help me ..

wow it that from 1980?

Where is the troubleshooting?

As an Electrician, you didnt mention the critical first step- UNPLUG IT FIRST

gfdr270eh0ww disassembly. Not one video on it. All screws out wont budge everything off but front panel sigh

This type of work is so tedious and you have to have patience.

Not the same pully?

Should have said Turn off or disconnect the power first!

What a crappy design.

Thank you so much!!!! So helpful!!!!!!
