64240419 General Electric Dryer - Instructions

Watched a video online on how to replace the belt, it pretty much told me what to look for to get the drum out. Followed the instructions sent with the bearing kit and removed the old bearing assembly. Ran the screws supplied with the kit into the bearing assembly before I installed it. This was a tip I got off PartsSelect website. Running the screws in first is a must! Had my wife hold the assembly in place while I ran the screws in. That part of the job is the only time you need an extra set of hands. Put the dryer back together and it works like a quiet champ now.

Snapped on new handel. Took all of 5 seconds. The hardest part was finding the part, which your website took care of....Thanks!

Simply pulled off the old handle and snapped in the new one! No tools required. Took about 5 seconds!

This one is so easy my grandson could do it. The removal was easy, it broke off. The installation was a "snap in place". Thinking I needed a few days of dryer use without the handle, I made a temporary repair. I fished some heavy packing string thru the slots in the door, made a loop, than a knot. This gave my wife something easy to grab to open. Did not even need to do the temporary repair, the part arrived in one day.

As soon as the new door handle arrived, I just snapped it into place. It took about two seconds>

It was so easy, I just depressed a couple of tabs and it popped right in!

I broke the handle

I ordered the new part as listed and it came in two days, which was amazing to me since it was the week before Christmas. I snapped it in in less than a minute and all is well. Thank you for being so prompt on sending this out. Made the holidays a lot easier.

I followed the directions from the previous post. It was much easier than described. I got the part, removed 4 screws, removed the top, pulled the front and replaced the part. It was all together again in 15 minutes. Dryer sounds great again! I'm so glad I didn't call a repair man!

Clipped on.

Removed door and two screws to replace the door handle. Reassemnled in reverse order. It was a snap.

I first removed four screws above the door opening to lift off the top, then removed two screws, near the top, inside the front, to remove the front. There I found that 2 grey plastic and one white plastic anti-friction strips were worn to nothing (even the large plastic bezel that incorporates the light was starting to wear away, from just a few days!).

When I went to put the front back on, i couldn't get the lip of the drum to ride properly on the felt. In fiddling with it, the drum fell off the rear bearing, too, so I put it back on.

So I ordered new felt, two white and two grey strips (I didn't know if 1 or 2 were in each $8 "kit"--only one per kit), a spare belt--just in case--and some bulbs.

Putting the strips on was easy--15 seconds each. Putting on the felt took all of 20 seconds. I spent more time scraping off the dust and vacuuming things out!

The drum fit over the felt quite easily now, and when I ran it, it was wonderfully quiet. For a minute! Then, it started making a new, grinding noise!

I had a Sears repairman friend come over, and he found that a small platic bushing had fallen off the rear bearing element. Once he put that in place, it all worked perfectly. Beautifully quiet!

The repair was simple with my mechanic relative handling the tools. Total time about 25 minutes.

Previous repairs to the venerable machine with parts obtained freom Part Select and shipped to Germany: new drive motor and drum bearings.

Pulled the top of dryer off. Separated the door from the drum seal or gasket, slipped the belt through, put the drive belt on the motor and then put it all back together.

We removed the top of the the dryer and then removed the front part. Then put the traps in place, put the other parts of the dryer back on, and turned the dryer back on. Just as simple as that. No extra fees.
