# GE dryer drum roller and belt repair

What this involves

Cheap now, expensive later

The noise names the part, if you catch it

Belt, rollers, idler and glides done together

Turn the drum by hand

Resistance, grinding or play at the rear bearing each feel different and point at different parts.

Inspect rollers, idler and glides

They wear together, and replacing one of a worn set is how a repair repeats itself in six months.

Check the belt and the motor pulley

A belt that snapped rarely snapped for no reason; the cause is usually one of the above.

Rebuild the running gear as a set

Then run it empty and listen, which is the only honest test.

Run empty, and listened to

The only honest test of a noise repair. Rollers, idler and glides are replaced as a set, because they wear together and a single new part in a worn group brings the same call back.
