After doing this in April 2023 on a 6 year-old dryer, one thing to note: if you notice the belt is still too loose/has no tension when putting the drum back in place, this video doesn't make explicitly clear that you have to pull the pulley arm all the way above the motor shaft and put tension on the spring so that you can loop the belt around the pulley and onto the motor. After releasing the arm, the spring tension keeps everything snugly in place. Otherwise, very helpful video!
Thanks so much for this. I have the same dryer and had the EXACT same issue this morning! I was able to take the dryer apart as per your instructions, and replace the pulley assembly without an issue. Luckily, I live in the city and was able to get the part at the parts store. It was also my day off, so worked on it this morning, and not at night. A couple of hours of my time without any hickups!
Thank you Roland for the excellent video tutorial! Our 6 year old dryer wouldn't start, a week to the day we were scheduled to leave the country on vacation. Your step-by-step instructions were great! The Idler Pulley Wheel was chewed almost in half, down to the axle. Getting OEM parts was more challenging.
One CAUTION! - When reaching blindly into and under the drum to position the drum belt, be very aware that the exposed metal edges are treacherously sharp.
I sliced the back of my right hand after pushing the Idler Pulley Arm up to thread the drum belt. While straightening/untwisting the belt, the back of my hand was cut by the Heater Element Housing Duct. I reached in to the lower left of the Heater Element Housing, rather than above as you did in your video.
Fortunately I was able to succesfully repair the dryer and my injury.
Thank you!
Glad you fixed it yourself, Too bad about the cut though, yes there are some sharp metal in there.
Thanks Roland, Great Video and Audio. Nice explanation of every step and great run through of likely problems. I felt like I had done this before from watching this! I had the same problem. Idle pulley melted and laying on the bottom of the dryer. Thanks again!
your welcome!
Thank you so much for this video! My husband wanted to call someone right away and was quoted $75 just to have someone look at it! After looking at this video, I was able to determine that we had the same issue and replaced the idler pulley for $12.88. You saved us money!
Cool stuff!
This video guide was awesome. I do as DIY as I can; this was the best how to and spot on guide I’ve had to follow. True talent. $36 later I have fresh rollers and a new pulley. Works like new again!
So great to hear! Thank you 😊
This video was so incredibly helpful. You saved me stress and time and money. Triple win, thank you!
Glad it helped!
We’ve had our 2 months bought brand new. Belt came off. Btw, Last Samsung dryer we had had an idler pulley broke (like yours), and I was able to order new one and replace. Thanks for video. You’re a guardian angel.
Wow a dryer repair is complicated. Enjoyed the video even though I could never even attempt this. I did repair my fridge at least!
Excellent video. All I had to do was follow your instructions here and it went together easily. Took the stress right out of it. Thanks much.
Glad to hear it! Your welcome 😊
Thank you for this video, our dryer was down for a month. I'm grateful for your effort!
You're welcome 🙂
Thank you so much for this video. That is exactly what was wrong with my daughters dryer, and I was able to fix it because of this video.
You're welcome 🙂
Thanks for the video, just got this dryer outside on the curb marked “Free”. The belt had just come off and now it’s good to go!!! For sale!!! Thanks 🙏🏽
That's cool!
Thanks for the suggestion of unplugging the dryer to do a reset. Our less than 2 year old Whirlpool dryer wouldn't turn on but we knew it was getting power since the dryer light would go on. Doing the reset did the trick! Thank you!
Great to hear!
I have same dryer and same problem. Found this video and fixed it myself. My belt was pretty hard to stretch over the pulley but it finally went. I took your belt/pulley diagram and flipped it horizontally so it would be view from the front. Many, many thanks. You saved me hundreds.
So awesome to hear! good job 🙂
Thank you so much for the video. I just finished replacing the entire kit in nightstand and dryer. Your review is very detailed and well explained. I appreciate your videos, keep up the good work. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Your instructions were wonderful. I was able to fix my dryer. I have a few screws left over but it works great.
You're welcome 🙂
Thank you for the video! I was able to fix this by myself and probably saved myself hundreds of dollars either in repairs or a new dryer.
You're welcome
Merci beaucoup, I pray, God pay you for the knowledge you are sharing. This will give a second life to my dryer. Reuse is 10 times better than recycling.
Thx dude it helped me in the diagnosis my dryer. All better 😎
Thank you Roland This by far is the best tutorial video ever. Step by step instructions... plus great video and audio. Hopefully you will continue to make other tutorial videos in the future. I subscribed to your channel and I will recommend it to others.
You're welcome 🙂
This was so helpful! Dryer is fixed. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Saved me hours of time. Thank you. My belt ate into the pulley. The belt looked good, but was a little stretched out compared to a new belt so I switched that out too. Thanks!
Good job John 👍
Pro tip, there is a small hole on the idler arm that lines up with a hole in the idler arm mounting surface. Aline the two holes and place a 3/32 allen key in them, this holds the idler arm in place making it easier to put on the drum belt. Once the drum’s belt is in place remove the allen key, there will be tension on that key so you might have to relieve some of that tension by pulling forward to remove the allen key.
Thank you
Fantastic video! Was exactly what was wrong with the dryer and it is now working again. Thanks!
Awesome!
Great video exactly what I needed to know. Excellent video quality and concise accurate info. Great work! My problem was exactly the same as you showed.
Great to hear!
Gotta give you thanks for this video! Our samsung dryer was a little different than yours, but screws were the same. Mine isn't to old and the spring slipped off the tensioner pulley. I put it back on and put a little bend in the end so it won't happen again. Checked the belt, tensioner pulling and drum pulling. All good. Saved me some headaches
Great to hear!
This was exactly my problem and gave me the confidence to repair it myself. Thank you!
You're welcome 🙂
Thank you sooo much! You saved me alot of money. I bought the parts on Amazon and was able to do it myself. 👍🏾
Glad I could help
Very helpful. Thank you. The thing that amazed me was that your dryer looked brand new out of the box. Mine had lint and dust and all kinds of stuff inside from running for a few years.
I take it apart just to clean it 🤣
@@GettingItDoneNorthOf7 actually it was the pulley roller that melted and well as the belt that broke
Oh and your video was invaluable... So appreciate it!
Thanks! I had a different issue with mine but I used your video to figure out how to take the dryer apart and found underwear stuck in the white plastic spinner at bottom left of dryer! Removed it and now it works
you have a fantastic channel ! thank you for your many great informative videos.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This is exactly the video I needed!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, fixed my dryer with your instructions.
This video was a huge help, thank you so much for making it available to us!
You're welcome 🙂
Excellent video. Everything is working properly now since tension pulley was replaced. But, I caught the door switch wire being caught inside the drum! Just messin with you!
You're welcome 🙂
Thank you for this video I did take out too many screws but I'm have found my issue and am getting my dryer fixed!!
You're welcome 🙂
very helpful. although with my machine, the locking washer came off and the pulley wheel came off. so the belt was running on the pivot arm. The belt and pulley was still in good condition.
excellent video, Ill let you know how it goes! Thank you so much for doing this video.
Wish there was a close up of the tensioner and belt part (picture didn’t help). But I get it. It’s hard to film back there. Found another video that managed to show that part thankfully. Dryer works like a charm now. Thanks.
Thank you so much saved me time and money!! Great job
You're welcome!
This video helpd me, and i found my issue! Thank you very much for sharing
You're welcome 🙂
Thanks! this was precisely the problem and the solution worked.
Excellent! Glad it helped you and thank you for the super thanks 😊 Much appreciated!
Great video! Thank you!
Lifesaver! My idler wheel was completely off
Thank you so much. You are a life saver. This video helped us out so much.
You're welcome 🙂
Great video!! This was the exact problem with mine, thanks
Thank you, glad you fixed it!
Thank you I was able to fix my dryer and make my wife happy :)
Dodged a bullet, lol
Exactly what was wrong with my dryer. Very informative video. Only feedback I have is as someone who doesn’t know anything about dryers, the picture for how to reinstall the belt didn’t make sense to me. Had to find another video for that part. Otherwise great. Thank you!
Thanks, I now have another video showing how to install the belt. Hard spot to film
Thanks for your video. My dryer has a different problem but it was good to see how the dryer looks internally. My dryer has the error DC. Something with the white button is off. At first I taped it down and it work for a few more weeks. No even the tape holding the button down is not working. The bottom looks fine but I guess I need to replace that somehow. Do you agree. I’ve had this dryer less than 2 years
Thank you so much. Very helpful
You're welcome 😊
You made this video easy enough for a single lady to do it. Although, some man power would've been nice, the drum is very heavy. With a handy dandy power drill, I was able to manage.
You're welcome 🙂
VERY GOOD VIDEO, very helpful, thank you!
You're welcome 🙂
Thank you. Great video and very helpful!
Thank you! Glad it helped.
Excellent video. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
this is A very very useful video thanks!
Youre welcome 😊
Thank you for showing me how to open up my dryer. Mind wound up being a belt issue. Still, I appreciate the help.
Glad to help. I have a video for replacing the belt as well if you need it for reference 😉
Thanks! Your video was a huge help and gave me the confidence to tear into it today. I had the same pulley wheel problem and mine was filthy with lint. I plan to re-seal in a few key areas, such as foil tape around the blower duct connection and blower wheel cover. Any other ideas on how to keep lint in the filter box? I could not get the door switch connector unplugged and ended up taking the switch apart. This gave me access to the switch contacts so I cleaned those with an eraser. Replacing my drum wheels and belt as well. Surprisingly the belt looks mostly fine and would probably work for a long time but found a crack starting at the factory seam. Looking forward to getting it back up tomorrow.
Wow your dryer should work for a long time problem free after this. Good job! Also thank you for your generosity, much appreciated 😊
Great video but did just as you said but my belt and pulley are actually fine? What else would it be? It was nice opening up my dryer for the first time to see all of the components and give it a clean. Please help....what else would it be?
Great video, checked pulley, belt and cleaneverything. However, I still have power but dryer will not start. Please help. Thank you
Very good video.
Amazing, ty. That’s what was wrong with mine!
Great video, thanks. I might have missed it, but is there a switch on the idler pully arm, that causes the motor to shut down, the safety precaution you mentioned in the video?
I don't think so
Great video, saved my butt, thank you
Your very welcome 🙏
You saved my life 😂 thank you for this!
You're welcome 😊
Magical video, just starting watching and the dryer began working on its own 😂 true story
Wonderful! The power of video!! 🤣🤣
Thanks!
Welcome! And thank you 😊
Thank you❤
You're welcome 😊
I couldn't even get the top off...what kind of man am I?!
I was able to unscrew the back and lift the top. More importantly I was able to fix the pulley myself. I am a man!
You fixed it before I could say you are a man with wet clothes
@@tylerbeard4092 🤣🤣 cracked me up
What is the metal piece that is at the bottom of the dryer face called? Mine is rusted out and will need replacing. It seems that lint is escaping through the holes.
If you ran it without the filter check for a cloth or piece of fabric that got stuck . Mine was a SOCK, I pulled it out very hard👍👍👍
This was my issue. My idler was melted from the bushing getting so hot. Thanks for being googles #1 video when I searched “Samsung dryer won’t start but has power”
You're welcome 🙂
I am assuming that the idler pulley wheel and arm is somehow in conjunction with a safety switch of some kind since all of your electronics were working.
Great video BTW!
Thank you
Thanks for a great how to video! It solved my problem with an easy to follow step-by-step approach. Only one recommendation: at 10:49 provide a little more explanation on getting the belt around the motor shaft and idler pulley. The picture doesn't really provide a sufficient explanation. Thanks again!
Great video. I’ll be attempting this repair on my Samsung dryer tomorrow. The Heating element in my front load is broken in the dang near same spot.
Just one question;
during the continuity/resistance test, shouldn’t all the wires be disconnected from the sensors first prior to testing them?
You're welcome 🙂
Thank you for saving me hundreds of dollars!
So i got a washer and dryer months back brand new. Last night i tried drying bedding and i noticed it kept shutting off. I tried doing a normal wash for like 41 minutes amd it drops to one minute and shuts off. It seems wayvto early for any problems to accur. The only thing i have tried was the lint thing and i always clear it. So my next step it to chrck the vent pipes. If it aint that. Idk what to do if its the belt or something
I'm having trouble getting that top lid to latch. Is there something that I'm doing wrong? I got the dryer secondhand from someone else and there was a significant dent in the top so I'm guessing that's maybe why it's there. But it closed at 1st and when I opened it back up one more time and went to close it after trying to get the dent out, it won't latch no matter what I do
Great video! I just wish I could find someone who could solve my Samsung dryer issue: the Start/Pause button ⏯️ is not functioning. It’s pushed far into its housing. What’s up with that?
Thank you for such a great video.... this is exactly what happened to me as if you were reading my mind! Thank you!
So glad!
Thank you. I saved money on a repair man by doing it myself
You're welcome 🙂
Just curious. What constitutes the need for replacing the drum pulley wheels in the inside of the machine? I can pull them forward but they really don't seem loose or all that worn.
The pulley wheels can become wore out. The bearings. You will know when they are not good
I'm a single mom , you saved me so much money! Thank u
You're welcome 😊
Thank you! $10 part and about an hour later my dryer is working again.
great to hear!
Was the dryer making any noise like the motor was running but just not spinning?
Cute dog
What motor did you mention. I didn’t see a motor when you disassembled the machine. So now I’m quite confused
My pulley was broken and replaced- still makes clicking noise - any idea?
Sweet😂
Hello I have problems with my dryer it’s on it’s show cl cannot adjust the time
Great video. Same exact symptom but with confidence of your video I stripped down to inspect idler pully and it was fine. When powered up it acts like it is running, timer counting down but no spin. I can hear a slight click inside when I hit the Start button. Could this be the switch the idler pully is attached to? Could it be a dead motor? Motor spins find, no burnt smells or signs of heat. Figure this one out and I will certainly "Thank" with $. :) Mine is same brand different model but everything very similar. Model #
DV431AEW/XAA
You're welcome 🙂
My belt is fine it just won’t turn when I turn it on I just hear a click and nothing so what is that?
Did u figure it out? Mines doing that now
@@vronh88 mine just started doing that as well
@@dibm2625 it was my thermal fuse to my motor. Get a multimeter if u can and check that!! Mines up and working now.
@@vronh88 thank you for letting me know
@@vronh88 update my friend mine was the same problem
I'm thinking this is my problem,, however one question before I go taking it apart... it has power n counts down but does nothing we checked childlike n door but when you try to start it did the motor make any noise as if it were working or nothing cause I got nothing. ??
Nothing at all
Can’t you just go in from the back ? Take cover with dryer vent off and you can access pulley?
How do you reset?
Very good repair video, but too hard for me. Hope a repairman isn't too expensive.
Maybe it wont be too bad. Good luck!
I’m kinda confused as to how the belt goes back on the motor and pulley does the belt just go under both the belt and pulley?
It's a bit tricky but you will get it. You have to pull or push the pulley one way to get the belt on. That's why it has a spring. It keeps tension on the belt
@@GettingItDoneNorthOf7 omg that’s not helpful 😔
Mine won’t start either. Is there any reason why the belt on my dryer doesn’t look stretched out but doesn’t feel tight on the drum?
check to see it is fitting properly on the idler pulley under the drum
I have the same dryer, it clicks just like yours. But the motor doesn't run
