I need to find manual for GE Dryer DBXR463EBOWW to take it apart

I cannot find directions to open and replace a drum part I can see when I open the door. Looks like I have to crack it open from the back of the dryer. GE does not have a manul on line to go that deep into the dryer.
Model DBXR463EBOWW.

    Thanks Six Flags.

    Do you have a picture of a dryer that I can look at so I can fully understand what your telling me please? I think I understand but am very visual and that would really help me before I flip it over and take the bottom of the dryer off. Should it be on the front or back side when you take the bottom off?

    BTW my cell phone is 303-725-8136 if you prefer to call me.

    Thanks Eric

Most Dryers are pretty much the same.
when i deal with replacing the belt or tensioner or ignitor the drum usually needs to be taken out. The drum rides on some bearings on the very front lip and sometimes on the back as well. It loosely rides on them (which makes it easy to just kinda lift it off them) then the belt kinda goes slack and can easily take it off.The ones i have done required removing the bottom cover then the door/frame cover off and disconnecting the door close switch and putting them off to the side and then taking the drum out. Take care in taking the front frame off as the drum might drop and get dented (try to cushion it from the bottom panel area) Be careful trying to access the drum from the backside as most of the electrical and gas (if its a gas dryer) lines are back there creating quite an obstacle course for you. However some have access panels back there for some parts replacement. The heater and blower just sit on the bottom and are forced in by the fact the only route to get the air out is through the drum (dryers are very simple machines you will find) I have rebuilt quite a few from the 70's 80's and today and they all look pretty much the same. Dont Be afraid to take the front apart. Worse case is needing a brief hand to hold the drum up as you set the front back on. Then after you get the screws in...give the drum a spin and make sure it moves freely...And make sure the belt runs along the whole drum...but set it on the idler AFTER the drum in installed. (Install drum with belt on but NOT on the idler/tensioner) And after drum is set...reach under and set ther belt through the idler/tensioner/motor.. Take a picture of it BEFORE you take it apart (with a cellphone or better) of the belt path to restore it to the same belt path as before (Looks alot like a car serpentine belt and can get confusing if you arent familiar with it) Hope this helps you out. post more Questions if you are unsure of anything by adding comment and ill check and try to help (if someone else doesnt beat me to ya) Good Luck. 8-)

Ge frontloader dryer is squeeking incessantly, high pitch squeek driving us all crazy. by manually turning the drum i can isolate the squeek, but cannot see anything wrong. does it need to be taken...

There is a teflon bearing that holds the back of the drum you will need to replace. To get to it remove the top cover, take off the control panel, remove the front cover, take off the belt, then take the drum out, ususlly by lifting it up as you pull it foward. While have it all apart I would reccomend replacing the teflon glides at the front that the drum rides on.

I have a GE DPGT750GC2PL dryer and the drum cracked at the seam? is there a recall for this or am i the 1st? the dryer started to make a thumping noise and when i took it apart i found the drum is coming...

the drum is easy to replace, you need to remove the control panel and the top of the dryer to get the front panel off the dryer. Make any connectors so you know what way to hook them up again just to be safe. After you have all of this apart, relieve the tension on the strap that go's around the drum. Replace the drum and and reinstall everything in reverse. I don't have the link to the repair manual here at work, but I did find it here. Read it over and take you time, it's really not a hard item to replace.

Where are you located, I have a heating problem and if I don't fine the answer to fix it will more then likely toss mine out and could part out the known good parts.

Ge dryer squeeking

HI,

For a pictorial troubleshooting please open the link:

http://www.applianceaid.com/my_own_dryer.html

You will be looking at the front glides that the drum rides on, the glides are probably gone and the drum is rubbing on the plastic glide holder....if it is damaged will need to replace the front drum bearing/glide holder and all of the glides, usually about 4 of them.

If it is the drum front glides the noise will be from the front area, right behind the front panel at the top. If the noise is from the center rear of the dryer your drum bearing is gone, need to replace this also if you have to take this dryer apart..

Thanks

I need to change a dryer belt on GE model DBxR463EBoWW electric dryer we have the belt on but it is loose

First, make sure you are using the proper belt. For your model
DBXR4630WW that would be a part number WE12M29. Next, the grooves of the belt touch the drum. Now, looking at it from the front side, the belt goes from the left side of the drum directly to the motor drive pulley, then around the tensioning pulley, and then back to the bottom right back around drum.

GE Dryer DVL 223GB1WW

To access these dryers you open the door and look up at the 12 oclock position and their will either be 2 or 4 screws holding down the top. These must be removed and then you can get the top to come up(or off on newer models). Once you have the top up you can get to the screws which hold the front on (2). Then you simply remove the front and get it out of your way. On these dryers there is a friendly rear hatch to help you replace the idler. As far as the thump tha could be from anything. Once you get the dryer apart you should be able to locate and remedy the problem.
