One helpful tip relates to around 5:49...if you have trouble pushing the front back its because the drum tilts forward when you removed the front panel piece at the start. So slightly lifting it while pushing the front back is advised. I also had the most trouble getting the top hood platel back onto my GE. After messing with it I understand why...GE INTENTIONALLY, makes it impossible to reattach the top plate without removing the 4 screws on the top of the control panel. Screws which are TORX, meaning the average Homeowner does not have this tool usually. I find these sort of odd things very often when fixing consumer appliances around my house. They DESIGN this into them. This is a very common thing with cars as most of us know. Without the right proprietary tool some jobs are 100% impossible to do. Anyhow all is well and hats off to Van for a great video. Obtained parts from AMZ, $40.

I've started to fix dryers as a hobby with Covid going on. There are always washer's and dryers on the side of the road for the trash man. I bring them home and try to fix them. When I fail, I sell them to this guy for $20-40 bucks(he's a pro), when I succeed I either upgrade my set(i've switched mine 3 times already...upgrading every time) or sell them cheap/working for quick sale. Simple video's like this help me out when I'm suck. Never repaired a GE so this was helpful.

Nice 👍 try small engines like lawnmowers and power washers. Many times the carburetor are gummed up from sitting around all winter. People throw them out in the spring when they go to start them. Very easy fix. Pull off the air filter to access carb and spray carb cleaner. Fixes it no problem

When you say to make the felt lie flat in the channel do you mean for it to lie flat against the back of the channel so the lip of the drum will butt against it's wide part as it spins? I've been trying to put it in so the wide part of the felt will be parallel with the floor and the felt seems to be twisting. O the drum can butt against it as it spins rarher thsn lying on top of it

Well if it was just those Glide Slides, they come in a set of two, and are $6 to $10 for 2 sets of two, all four for my GE Dryer... But since you got that whole kit, probably $43 or so, might as well replace the Belt and save the old one for backup maybe. Only things left for the drum would be the Tension Pulley and Rear Bearing I believe... I'm not a pro, lol. Just an old guy that never calls a repairman lol.
