MLC275CW5 General Electric Washer - Instructions

Removed the top of the dryer 2 screws. procedure
open dryer door. At the top of the dryer door their is
two screws left to right, Remove them and lift top
off. Inside where the top was is two screws left to
right. Remove the two screws and take the front
panel off. Carefull not to pull wireing loose. Lean door against something so you don't have to disasemble wireing. Pull broken belt out and install new belt around tumbler and up and over
tension pulley and pull down and slip over the motor pulley. Your'e done. Reassemble front then
top. My dryer ran just fine after these steps. The question and answers helped me do this.

This is a space saver one piece unit with dryer on top. I first removed ten screws that hold the top on, I then removed four more screws that hold the front service cover on and two last screws that hold the rear service cover on. Now I seperated the front cover of the dryer from the dryer tumbler tub and slipped the new belt around the tub, then at the rear service cover I feed the belt through the tensioner and back onto the motor pully. Now just put the covers back in reverse order of removal and all done! "Piece of cake"

First of all to all you females out there, I am one and this is easy. It was a stacked washer/dryer and the dryer is gas. I unplugged the power, didn't unhook the gas and left them stacked, not a problem. Next I pushed in the 2 clips at the top with a small screwdriver while at the same time prying up on the top with my chisel, popped the top up and unplugged the wire bundle that's attached to the front panel. A few inches down on the inside of the front panel are 2 screws, I removed those. Then I pried the front panel off - there are 4 clips 2 on each side holding the front panel on. I pulled off the felt strips leaving a bunch of "hair". I read the other repair stories saying they'd wished that they'd used stronger solvent to remove the old glue and "hair" so I used laquer thinner and it worked great. Just saturate your rag and get the old felt and glue really wet and then come back with the chisel and the felt and most of the glue comes off and not the paint. I just kept going back over it with the saturated rag and chisel and it was pretty easy. I then put the glue on the felt strips, attached them, and used a ring of bungee cords to make a clamp around them 'til they dried. Put dryer back together and it works great. Also when you've got it apart - it's a good time to vacuum out the inside of the dryer.

followed on line instructons very easy

This appliance is being used in a third world country with no parts access. I discovered Partselect and easily found the schematic with parts listed. Needed parts were easily identified ordered online and received within 4 days in the US and in time to take on my day later flight outbound. The process was seamless and expeditious. Thank you Partselect!

Removing the top and then the front of the dryer went fairly easily after finding the screws. The drum came out with just a little coaxing, does not gets screwed in place. To me the trickiest maneuver was getting my hand under the drum to place the belt over motor pulley and around the tensioner pulley. You must look up an image of the belt routing. It took me forever to figure that out. If not for that, this in a half hr fix. Ps don't forget to unplug the dryer.

After removing the old drum glide there was tufts of felt and glue left behind. The DIY video (which inspired me to try this repair myself) says to use a scraper and wire brush to clean the drum edge. I decided to try a drill with a wire wheel. Worked great. The surface was shining clean in minutes.

I followed the provided video precisely. Made the job quite easy. My only problem is I'm 6'2", 275 lbs. with bad knees. Can't go at it exactly as shown in the video because I can't squat down in front of the dryer without pain. Called in a neighbor of smaller stature for him to come from one side, and me from the other. Worked flawlessly. Video is excellent. I do recommend wearing gloves and/or long sleeve shirt. I cut up my arms a bit, but that could have been easily avoided.

Once the drum was removed it only took 10 min to remove and replace the coil. It took approx one hour to complete

Watch the video on how to replace the belt on PartSelct site belt installation page.

Thanks to your great DYI video I completed the repair in less than 45 minutes very easy.

Great service. I got the part in 3 days and having the youtube video was fantastic. I also was able to find other videos also so doing these tasks yourself nowadays is much easier. I was a bit nervous but it turned out to be easy.

took front off machine removing screws. Removed old felt and cleaned old glue off making sure area was clean. applied new glue and then new felt drum glide. put fish sringer around complete drum pulling tight clamping with vise grips till dry. then put front back on machine.

Just want to say what a great company to order parts from, I ordered the wrong parts by mistake, broke the part trying to install the incorrect part, emailed customer service and they not only gave me credit for the wrong part I ordered but, also for the shipping...I will definitely be ordering again from this company
