Dryer NOT Spinning. HERES WHY!

This is a simple diagnostic do it yourself type video. The roller popped out and caused this issue. You can also use this video if you need to replace the belt to your dryer...

Thank you kind stranger, I was having one of the worst days of my life and to top it off the dryer quit spinning right after washing a huge load of clothes at 8 PM. After watching this video my blood pressure is returning to normal. You are a true YouTube gem.

This is probably going to save me $200 and the trouble of waiting for a repair person! Thank you for putting together such a quick, helpful video!

What an excellent, detailed, concise video! A couple of notes:
At 1:00, we see the idler pulley and the bracket that holds it. This bracket is thin-gauge metal, designed to flex and impose tension on the belt. It's basically a leaf spring in addition to a bracket.
At 1:10, we see this bracket reinserted into the bottom of the dryer and the proper belt configuration with respect to the pulley and motor shaft. The tension on the belt pulls the pulley close enough to the motor shaft to thread the belt onto it, and it also holds the bracket down onto the dryer base. I found it worked best to install the bracket loosely, line up the drum, loop the belt around the drum, thread the belt over the idler pulley, then thread the belt onto the motor shaft.
A second pair of arms always helps.

Update 3/15/22:
I did it, I actually did it!
The belt had broken so I bought a new one.
The Lord was my guide while I watched your video 😮‍💨 . It was very helpful that we have the same exact dryer so yeah 🤗
Thanks again and may God bless you for your VERY helpful video. 😁👍

Thank God for people like you!
Your video was short and sweet. You gave very clear instructions and they were so simple that this novice is going to give it a try and save some money.
By the way, we have the exact same dryer so I definitely know that God answered my prayer.
Thanks again and may God shower you with His many blessings.
👍👍😁

Is there a way for us to send you at least $5?? This simple, straight to the point, no nonsense video saved us all money, time, and a headache! You're a blessing. Thank you!

[michaelrodriguez]

This video helped me out tremendously. Also I wanted to pass along this bit of info. If you open up your dryer to find your belt heavily frayed or snapped, make sure you measure the belt and count the number of "ribs" and inside "grooves" on the flip side of the belt. My belt measured 92.25" long and had 4 "ribs" and 3 "grooves" inside those ribs. On lowes website they only had like 3 generic belts to replace the dryer belt, when i went on walmart's website they had several dozen belts that allowed me to get exactly the belt i needed. The one I found on walmart's website that fit mine perfectly was a 92" belt with 4 ribs and 3 grooves and .25" wide. (most like .25" stretching from age on the length.) Measurements matter, make sure you measure before you buy. Too loose it might fall off again, too tight and your belt might snap.

Just fixed my parents dryer with this. Only thing I could have used in the video is making sure to put a loop through the inside of the pulley to grab onto the motor. Saved my folks at least a couple hundred and at most $700 for a new unit. Good stuff

[Blitzkrieg_Wolf]

His instruction is as dry as the dryer, quick, simple and direct to the point.

[NiyaGrimes]

How do you put the roller back into the slots?

[gideonharrington]

I work at 8 tomorrow and needed to dry my work clothes before hand and this vid saved my ass trying to figure out what was wrong at 2 in the morning thank you man

[cassidylopez]

Helped us out, Thank you!!! We actually got our new dryer belt & had a lot of trouble putting it on I told my husband to measure it & low & behold it came in a 92” package but measured only 88 inches !!!

[michaelbosmoe]

You're the real MVP. Replaced the belt in 5 minutes with your video.

[THEDillionWhite]

awesome video man, i have been fixing shit from watching videos on youtube for years and you gave more useful info in 1 minute and 53 seconds than i have gotten from other videos that where half an hour. I wish i could have you translate some truck repair videos for me because they have 20 minutes of fuckery and then maybe a minute worth of knowledge. Hats off to you man, you literally saved me money, time, and a headache so you got a new subscriber out of me and i will have to go through your other videos. Thanks again.

[benzuckerman]

Great video. The only thing I would add after successfully changing the belt following your instructions is that you need to make sure that the belt is on Straight, and is not twisted.

[claraparker]

Thats was short and straight to the point, thank you Sir🙏

[greedyasblakk]

[rperez]
