In this video, I show you how to replace the belt on your Frigidaire Front Load Dryer.
Buy a Belt for your Dryer Here

This process is going to be the same on most model dryers. If you have a dryer that the drum is not tumbling, a broken belt could be the issue.
Anytime you are working on an Appliance, you should unplug it from the wall for your safety.
First step in this video is identifying that you have a dryer with a broken belt.
Next step is the disassembly process. You'll need to know how to take apart the dryer so you can replace the belt and give a good cleaning too, once your inside.
Then I show you how to put the new part on and connect it to the motor and idler pulley.
After that, I reassemble the dryer and give a test to make sure it's working properly and the repair was successful.

Thanks so much Bill. I needed to replace my blower wheel and housing, but not one person told you how to really get the drum out of the dryer. It looked so easy like you just pulled it, and out it came. Well not on mine! I had the back of the drum attached on mine, Most of them just had the sides without the back attached. And no one ever mentioned about pulling it upwards to get it out of the ball housing. I wound up taking the entire back apart and couldn't get it back in. Thanks so much for your video...and by the way I like the narrative without the background music..You can focus more, and I also prefer watching you put it all back together, again, kind of refreshes the memory :)

Thank you so much for the step-by-step instructions. It gave me brownie points with my wife. Maybe I’ll get lucky tonight.😉

Great video - thanks!! One shortcut, after removing the front panel, the belt can be put on from the front, without having to remove the drum.

My daughter and I tackled this repair today. Thanks for the link to the part and the video, both made the repair so much easier! The only trouble we ran into was tightening the screws between the drum and the part with the ball. Thanks a ton for making this video!

Did you replace the belt too, or just the bearing? I see they sell a kit and was just wondering if it was necessary/ good practice or if it's more- if it's not broke, don't fix it? lol

@bwarholak 3 жыл бұрын

Maggie Carranza I replaced the belt and bearing. Unfortunately, I must have done something wrong because when I started it back up, there was a hellacious noise. After taking things back apart, I found the the heating coil had wrapped around the drum. I just ended up buying a new dryer after that.

I have taken My Electric 2007 Frigidaire Gallery apart about 6 years ago, I fought like HEL...UM...HECK.. because there wasn't a lot of KZfaq videos (or I didn't think of it) - Back then My Heater element had broken which made a really cool spark show...I replaced the Back Bearing and Belt, and the front glides..buuut now its squealing like a very loud backup beeper...So I think it's time for New Bearing, Glides, Felts, Belt (why not for 10 bucks), Idler Pulley, and Pulley spring... I am thinking the only parts left to fail after this, is the Motor and Blower assembly... But if I can get another 3-5 years out of this 16 year old machine, It will be a classic...and will need restoration...HAHA...No, at that point I will replace it!

@WisconsinHomes2love 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for your video. I have followed your instructions and I'm almost done, but I cannot get the pulley on my machine to lift up so I can thread the belt through. Any tips for me? WD-40? A gentle hammer? I am a 73 year old single woman trying to save a few bucks. I hate to call a repair man when I have done 95% of the work, but 95% doesn't get my dryer working.

@markabbe1627 6 жыл бұрын

Bill, I have done everything as directed for changing the belt. There is a little plastic piece at the front of the dryer that appears to be what the drum sits on. I cannot get that piece to sit properly. And the drum sits at an angle. Any help would be appreciated.

Would this pertain to all frigidaire frontload dryers? Or are these instructions model-specific?

Do you know what "E64 call service" means? Dryer stops mid cycle, and shows that code. Then press cancel and restart. What does it sound like the problem is to you? thanks
