I am a 47 year old women, with no mechanical ability at all. As a single mother I couldn't afford to have someone come out to fix the dryer. I thought what the heck. It took me an hour. The hardest part was getting the screw for the front cover off. I was able to put the new belt on from the front and didn't have to take off the drum. Thanks so much for the video. It cost me 4.99 for the belt. Feeling very accomplished. :)

I would like to say thanks. I ordered the belt and rear bearing replacement(standard shipping)and was shipped very quick. Re-watched the 2 videos and went to work. Took about and hour and a half but that included a full cleaning with a vacuum cleaner and damp rag. About $30 in new parts and my labor. I expect that I saved about $220 or more in labor. I would not have had the courage to tackle this without your videos. Thanks again, David--

Generally only one fan is used and its purpose is to pull the heated air that the element has created inside the clothes drum thru the lint filter and ont to the exhaust vent. So is is doing both jobs sucking air out of the drum and blowing it to the exhaust. Great question.
