My Attempt to Repair the Dryer - Phase One

in #blog6 years ago

The Belt on the dryer broke Friday night, time to do some repairs!

Coming back from our week long adventure, we had lots of cloths to wash. While the first load of wash was drying, the belt snapped on our dryer. So begins the quest to replace the belt and get the dryer drying again!

The belt is shredded, time to find and install a new one.

I found a new belt on Amazon for $6.00, it's one of those "add-on" items, so I have to purchase an extra $20 of stuff to get it. But free 2nd day shipping and no installation charge... good deal!

Once the part arrives, I'll see if I can get it installed. The challenges in life!

Bless the Most High for His provision and care in our lives!

Congrats on getting the repair done. There is something about finishing​ a project that makes you feel good.

With that light on your head turned off, it doesn't look like a very bright idea...

Turning on the light was my bright idea!

Bummer Ben! My washing machine stopped working a few days before Sukkot and I was able to get a part locally at a appliance maintenance shop. Normally I go to places like appliancepartspros.com, a very helpful site by the way! It was up and running right before the Sabbath started so it was ready to go when I got back! Go luck on your repairs!

Thank you, I'll have to figure out how to open the dryer up the whole way to get the new belt in place. I'll check out appliancepartspros.com. Thanks for the advice!

Those guys as well as repairclinic.com normally have videos on how to fix most appliances. I'm sure you'll be able to find a video on how to replace a dryer belt! I know I have utilized their videos. Over the last few years I was able to fix my refrigerator, dryer and washing machine!

Good luck for the repair when the parts arrive! I don't know if that is the right tool for the job, but I'm sure you know what you are doing!

Chanel locks... the right tool for every job! :-)

I'll remember that the next time I need to tinker around in the laptop!

LOL Works best as a hammer!

I sure hope you can fix it on your own. That will definitely save you some monies!! I always say every family needs at least one person in those important fields: technician, mechanic, plumber and an electrician!

Oh man, I'd better get learning! Unless my daughters want to pick up a few!
