    So thankful for this video! Single mom here, in nursing school with a tight budget. My dryer quit working and I thought I was going to have to replace it. Thankfully I found your video and it made it so much easier (and cheaper lol)!! Appreciate you taking time to teach others!

  • @LouieGonzalez-xe2ll
    @LouieGonzalez-xe2ll 6 месяцев назад +1

    Thank you for the helpful video. I was hesitant at first but after not finding a repair person in my small town I looked this up and was amazed at how easy it was to swap out the belt. My dryer was making a screeching noise. Turned out the belt was good but lint build up was causing it to screech. I went ahead and replaced the belt since it only cost $8 on amazon, cleaned it out and used compressed air to dust out all the electronics in the back. It is worth noting that it is a good idea to keep an eye on the front clips that hold the screw in place.. I almost lost one. I also found it is easier to put the front panel together if you mark the clip on base and hole on front panel with a sharpie (i did not have any help and took me a couple of tries aligning clips) Thanks again... Have a great day!

    For anyone who winds up here with a NED5800HW model, this repair is done by taking off the top and back panel. Hopefully, I can save someone the hour I wasted trying to get it from the front. 😅
    The pully routing part of this video was clutch. Thanks, OP!

  • @OldskoolArtCustoms
    @OldskoolArtCustoms 11 месяцев назад +1

    I have exactly model. Was trying to go thru back panel til I saw your video. As for the upper plug you couldn't disconnect, mine had a tab and came apart in seconds. Now to search for my belt. Using number on belt. Thanks buddy.

    Your video was very helpful! I just wanted to say the "quick" release wire attached to the door panel can be released by pushing in that little tab with a pointy thing like a screw driver while gently pulling the two halves apart.

    Everything was easy except PUTTING THE FRONT PANEL ON. I think that I DONT need the drum into the front panel until AFTER the 2 clips at bottom of panel are done....

Thanks though for the video and I found about $25 dollars in QUARTERS at bottom of my drier!!!

    The wiring comes apart, you need a small flat screwdriver to pry away from the locking ramps(clip mechanism) it is tricky so I understand the caution to just leave it alone and carefully slide the front panel out of the way so you have enough room to work

    Hey-thanks for this. Thankfully, after following your video, I was able to get the dry going again! But when I reattaching the vent to the top, I dropped one of the screws down the vent! Do I have to dismantle the whole thing or will it be okay to leave it? I’m hoping it’s sitting somewhere on the bottom of the dryer and won’t interfere with the drum when dryer is in? 🙏

    You can disconnect the wiring bit at the top of the front wall... there's a little plastic tab thing holding it in place and you can use the corner of your flat head screwdriver or putty knife to release that. It's hard to explain in writing, but look at it and i think you'll see what I mean.
