Yea, the belt slipped off the pulley and was put back on as shown in the repair video. Thank you so much for watching brick! www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com

@@LexVance If the belt has slipped off, I always simply replace it since you're already in there, belts are inexpensive and it may have slipped off due to it being stretched. Why pay someone again or go through the hassle of taking everything apart again if it slips off again.....simply replace the belt.

Plz help. I have kenmore dryer. It’s has power but not starting. Can’t buy new one right now.

Me too Joe. When I felt the belt off the motor wheel I said " thank you Lord". A heavy load must've cocked the drum & it rolled off on to the shaft.

I've never worked on that brand. I'd need to be there.

Probably to the switch on the door. Should be a plug to put the wire on.

The motor might be done if it was buzzing but stopped. Time for a new motor I believe. Thank you so much for watching!

Lex Vance dang, I hope not. Maybe I just blew a fuse or something by pushing the button while trying to fix the dryer, seeing if it would then turn the dyer on? How else would you explain that the button buzzed just fine until recently, when the dryer has just been sitting? Thank you.

Hey Lex Vance... here I am 2 more years later, still with that broken dryer. But I watched your video again tonight because guess what?? (I won’t keep you in suspense too long because I know you’re dying to know. 🥴😁 ) I recently plugged the dryer in because, well, I believe in miracles. The dryer didn’t spin but that buzzing that had stopped before, stop stopping. Lol. In other words, the On button is buzzing again when I push it in!!! Woo hoo. New hope! So again I’ll try taking things apart again and see if I can get the belt back onto the motor like you did. Gee, I wish I had some pictures to know what I’m doing in there, but maybe I’ll find some on the Internet. Wish me luck. Love your videos. You are very funny!! I laughed so hard at your clogged tub video!! You use the key saw. Ya!! As a single mom of 3 now grown boys, I taught them how to fix many things. Some of the laughs we’ve had are when I’ve unclogged drains like you did. After perhaps we moved into a new place or something, and mom (me) would have to free up the old clogged sink or tub. I’d take that ratty plastic tool thingy that you hate (and thanks for the the tip! Because now I won’t use that water f,I king thing again either!) But I’d “spin it like spaghetti”! Ewww!! Then I’d show my boys how to unclog a drain. But I’d say, “Look here boys... here comes a big fish!” They’d gross out and we’d laugh it up. Gotta have some laughter during such a sickening task, right? Ok then, thanks and God bless you. PS. My washer isn’t spinning as well as it used to. I had a renter put way too many jeans in it and it hasn’t been right since. But that was ten years ago and she’s still working well even though the clothes are a bit too soaked when wash it done. But atleast she still works. I watched your washer video just now and will check the hose thingy to see if it’s clogged, even though I don’t think it’s that. But hey, you never know. My Lord... it would be heaven if I had a good spinning washer and a dryer that works, after dragging really wet clothes to the laundromat or hanging them all over our tiny apartment with fan running til they dry for the last almost 3 years. 🥴 Wish me well. I’ll shut up for real this time. God bless and thanks so much.

Gary Middleton hmmm sometimes changing the bracket & ball bearing assembly can make it quieter. Or greasing the ball bearing will do it. The ball bearing that's on the back of the drum. Motor bearings could be going bad too. That'll make it loud sounding as well. hard to tell not being there & looking at it. Thank you so much for watching Gary! www.dirtymaintenancenation.com

Thanks Lex

Gary Middleton You're welcome man!

Brent Peterson Its all feel. Once you've done a few hundred like I have you know how to feel it on there. It took me lots of practice. Thank you so much for watching Brent! www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com

The rubber grooves need to be down. That's probably the problem.

@@LexVance even if it's been working for 2 years after the pulley fix? Lol edit: I'm hoping that's the fix. Just really curious if that's fix how it worked for this long.

@@freakrule21 Hmmmm, I'd need to be there for this head scratcher.

@@LexVance I will take it apart and adjust the belt correctly and see what happens. Thanks! I will let you know if that fixes it.

Could be. I'd need to be there for this head scratcher 🤔.

Id need to be there for this head scratcher. They're all different.

@@LexVance If the rear bearing goes out, will it stop the drum from turning? I ask bc the belt was on the tensioner & on the motor. The motor turns without issue; hwr, when I changed the front assembly, I didn’t change the rear bearing. The exhaust pipe came off in the inside of the dryer so there was lint packed inches deep. I vacuumed what I could reach. This dryer was a hand me down… not new.

@@LexVance I managed to find a belt for GE, Whirlpool, etc.. from Lowe’s. It is 88 inches long, whereas the oem replacement belt says it’s 89 1/2 inches. I had an incredibly tough time getting the tensioner pulled far enough. My daughter had to do it bc I just couldn’t get it to go. As my husband says, I ran out of ass to get it installed. We put the dryer back together, with exception of the top. The first time I turned it on, we had to start the drum turning. Afterward, it has started every time. We’re running a 10 min run on air dry just to get the dryer going so it can break in the new belt. I still don’t have a clue what was wrong with it unless the slight fraying was causing it (?). This time I was able to remove the heavy tufts of lint that was covering the back of the dryer drum & the remaining tufts of lint that was around the motor area. Any ideas? Dumb luck?

The belt slipped off the motor shaft in this video. Once I put it back on, it fixed it. Thank you so much for watching lamerah! www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com

Pull the knob off and see if it's cracked. Sometimes the knob will just spin on the dial but the dial is not moving because the knob is cracked. So, the timer stays in off position when you think you're moving it to turn on. Hopefully it's a simple fix like that. If not, the motor could be bad.

@@LexVance timer is fine. I guess I'll check the motor

pepzi Motor could be weak or belt is off center. See if you can feel around & get the belt situated. if everything checks out ok, may be time for a new motor. Thank you so much for watching pepzi!

Wow, thanks for a very fast answer! I'll start looking at it tomorrow. Subscribed ;)

pepzi Awesome! You're welcome Pepzi!

This sounds like what mine does .. well it heats up and will spin and dry only a few pieces vs the years it has done full load out of the washer ... if i put a full load or even half a load in it will not spin . It only hums and attempts to spin

Try cleaning the vent hose in the back of the dryer. If that's clogged, it will shut off due to getting too hot. It's a safety thing.

@@LexVance Ok, this is what I asked you on my other post, but maybe I wasn’t clear enough. So, my dryer is doing the buzzing thing and would spin sometimes, and sometimes not. Then not at all. But still buzzes at the button. I noticed that outside, where my dryer vents to the outside, the vent was blocked by something! I removed the object, cleaned out the very thick lint in the vent, and hoped that was it. My question is.. if it dies not end up being the belt slipped off the motor, do you think the blocked vent may have blown a fuse or something? Over heated? If so, does that make sense that it would still buzz when I push the button? Just thought this was a good chance to ask you that question more clearly since I don’t think you caught what I was asking on my other post. Thanks and God bless.

Pretty much. The only thing that may differ is how to get into it. Some brands make that hard. Thank you so much for watching Smokey! www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com

Sounds like the bearings could be going bad. You'll need a new motor if so. Sorry! 😭

@@LexVance thanks for the insight!

Jonathan Williams Its hard to tell by not being there. But my prediction is that the belt slipped off the motor shaft due to the weight of the wet stuff you put in the dryer. I've got a video where that happened. I put belt back onto motor shaft & got it spinning again.Thank you so much for watching Jonathan! www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com

No problem lex

Ive never worked on a Samsung. But it's usually the same stuff in a different box. Thank you so much for watching Valerie! www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com

Jake Sussenberger Hmmm did you pull the timer knob off & make sure its not cracked? That is 99% of the problem with the GE dryers i work on. Simple fix. Just put a new knob on. Dryer motors are 120 volts. The 240volts is just for the heating element. Could be a breaker too. Could be a bad motor. But first, pull the timer knob off & see if its crack. It should just pull off.

That's exactly what I thought heavydiesel ! I was preparing my mind for a motor change. As soon as I felt the belt off it was such a relief. Those are my favorite work orders!

+Lex Vance I'm having the same issue! Is the picture included in the video the picture of how it's supposed to look, or is it a picture of it being messed up? I'm trying to fix this on my own, and I need to know what i'm looking for.

+Aimee Adams The picture is how its suppose to look. Feel around behind the drum & make sure the belt is in grooves with tension on it.

thanks so much! I hope this fixes the issue! This video probably saved me a butt load of money. I like in Bentonville, AR and I'm not aware of anyone around here that fixes dryers.

+Aimee Adams Right on. If the belts still good & not broken, it probably just slipped off the wheel. Youll get it!
