FSEC849GHS1 Frigidaire Dryer - Instructions

I replaced this belt once before but it squeaked for over a year. This belt from Part Select was much better quality and now the dryer works perfectly, no squealing!

My Son-in law did the repair. He removed the top, the front lower panel and finally the front panel with the door. It took a little more time than anticipated because there was not any explicit directions on how much to remove to replace the belt, but he got the job done and put it back together very quickly. Glad I have him to help when needed:).

I used the posts on the site to ascertain the problem (fuze or element burnt out). The pictures were very helpful. I pulled the dryer to the floor and using my meter checked both the fuze and the element. The electrical diagrams were very helpful also. I took the dryer apart further to make sure the coil was indeed the problem. I then ordered the part!

Got the belt for my little bro's dryer . . . he and a friend tore into it without looking on how to do the job . 2 hours later dryer apart not fixed . . . LoL . . . Next day I get a Call asking me to find a repair manuel . . . I laught and told him to go to Youtube on his phone and the video would tell him how to do it ! He is back up and drying . . . Moral to this story . . . look before you leep !

I pushed the new knob onto the post.

Removed the top and front of dryer. Removed the old bearing and held the new bearing in place while my husband tightened the bearing into place......easy......now the dryer runs quiet again.

Unhooked wires turned switch to the left put new switch in and turned it to the right 1/4 turn and put knob on front of switch this is the best parts web I have been on so far.

doo handle snapped in place an replced screws that were missing

Vacuumed lint and inserted new filter.

Taking off front of and top of dryer and panels on the back. Releasing the belt and taking out the tube un screwing the two pieces off the back of the machine putting new ones in and putting belt back around drum and setting drum in. Then holding drum while the front is put back on then attach top and a couple panels on the back.

I opened top section with a screwdriver, pushing in the release.
I opened front panel with door with screwdriver pushing in the release.
I lifted drum out through the front.
I replace the Idler Arm assembly.
I greased the rear drum bearing race.
I vacuumed out and cleaned blower and dryer area.
I put the new belt on the drum, reinstalled the drum.
I put belt around drive motor and Idler arm assembley.
I put front panel with door back on.
I put the top panel back down and snapped into place.
Tested dryer, job done!

You simply pry the old handle off with a flathead screwdriver, and then line up the new handle and snap it into place. It took less than 30 seconds! A breeze.

Pulled front off dryer, popped the top up, took belt off pulley, pulled drum up and out just far enough to pull element out and put new one in. Very easy and quick. PartSelect always sends good quality parts and very quickly. I will use them for all my repairs.

just like the excellent video showed me. It was so easy and the web sight has a video to show me how to do it. Piece of cake! Thanks so much.

unscrewed the back panel using the diagram provided on the website and easily removed and replaced the parts with the help of the supplied video tutoring.
