Thanks for your video, it is very helpful. My situation involved the stacked gas dryer which took me more time to remove and replace, than it actually took to replace the door bellows itself. I set up saw horses with a 3'x3' piece of 1/2" thick plywood on top next to the washer and after disconnecting the dryer, lifted it onto the saw horses with the help of my son. Working on the bellows was straight forward following the video, although I had some difficulty in removing the trim ring and control panel without destroying the fasteners. I used a nylon panel tool instead of a screw driver, taking my time to pry the trim and panel loose. I wasn't lucky enough to have them come off as easily as it did on the video.. My main obstacle was the bracket on the right hand side of the control panel which would not easily release. Once the left side and top of the control panel releases, take your time rocking the right side up and down while pulling forward, keeping the left side of the panel balanced until the panel pops off. Upon replacing the bellows, I found that using a nut driver on the interior band clamp gave a more secure attachment than if I had only used a bladed screw driver. Using a vise-grip locking needle-nosed pliers to grip and pull the spring clamp while pressing the wire in place around the bellows made life a lot easier. Honestly, the worst part and most time consuming part of my set up was the trim removal and re-stacking & re-connecting the dryer. The job took a little over 2 1/2 hours from start to finish.
You cheated... you didn’t put the outer spring back on, you just talked about how hard it is which is true... its near impossible. Lol but thank you for the video
I Can't thank you enough for the video. $65 for parts and 30 minutes later, done. Could not have done it without this tutorial.
Thank you for the video. It really made this repair doable!

Great tutorial but i gotta ask who thought adding all that painful noise was a good idea?
TURN OFF THE OTHER NOISE / BACKGROUND NOISE.
Good video. But, dude, turn off the annoying background noise. Also, you didn't unplug it. Safety first!
