Really good video. This dryer is very similar to my GE GEQ9800LW1 dryer. What symptoms would lead you to need to replace the motor pulley? My dryer is squealing as if the belt is slipping, even with light loads. It's been getting worse over time and appeared to have started when I took the dryer apart to replace the thermal fuse. I'm at my wits end as I've replaced the belt, rollers, and just now the idler pulley spring. Thanks in advance...Jonathan

I know this is a year old but you need to replace the rollers to fix this, I had the same issue. It’s only slightly more involved than the fix in this video, you can do it!

@Wiccanslair 2 жыл бұрын

Mine won't budge and I am afraid it will start to strip that flat part that you put the 7/16 on. I don't know who put the last one on but Hulk comes to mind. Next gonna try heating for a quick 15 sec with a torch or 3 min with a hair dryer.

I really appreciate the way you explained everything in ENGLISH 😁 and slowly so even a College educated veteran could understand. I love my dryer. It's survived 3 growing children and then I saw a broken belt, I thought it was a easy repair. After removing the drum, I noticed that the Pulley was broken. Then your video, $35 and an hour later I have a new dryer. THANKS

@koopatroopa2264 5 жыл бұрын

What would continually cause the motor pulley to keep breaking? I’ve replace mine 3 times and the hex end keeps breaking off causing the belt to fly. I’m certain it’s not because I’m over tightening. Anything would help, thanks!

It's just made of cheap metal aluminum I think and it just give out in time, but three times is a lot, had mine for 10 years before I replaced it. whirlpool

PartSelect Sorry it took so long to get back to you anyways it is a Maytag dryer model MGD5630TQ0 I watched your video and I think it might be the drum glides my dryer is making the exact same noise as the one on your video

@partselect 6 жыл бұрын

Hi, when researching your model for symptom, loud noises, the top part that have been purchased by customers to help with the noise are the drum glides (bearing) or the drum roller shafts. There is a left and right side shaft. If you would like to place an order please call us at 1-888-738-4871 and we will be happy to help you.

Can the motor pulley be installed in the opposite direction? I need to replace mine but it will not thread on with the cone facing the motor.

@partselect 2 жыл бұрын

It should be installed as it came off your motor. It has a taper inside that matches the motor shaft so it stays on tight. If it wont thread on the normal way but it does when reversed it is likely there is an issue with the treads insde the pulley. I would recommend replacing the pulley.
