Can I fix it? Samsung Dryer belt broke

[@TOYguy-25]

👍Thank you for the video. So satisfying to fix with a few tools rather than just buy a new one! If I remember correctly on mine, some screws were different sizes so please take your time and keep track where you remove them from. Good luck!

[@djtribo8925]

Thank you so much for the step-by-step! Even though I had a different model, it was roughly the same! Salute!

You are welcome!

Glad you recorded this it was more intricate than I thought it would be

[@oviduran]

These dryers are getting more complicated but well worth fixing them.

Thank you so much for having this great video.I followed your instructions and steps and was able to replace the belt successfully .

[@oviduran]

Great to hear!

[@nickpapas4397]

Thank you for this. Mine broke changing it this week. Using this video....amazing

[@oviduran]

My dryer is model number DV350AEW/XAA. I enter this number in Amazon and look for parts. You can either get the kit or just the belt by itself. However, when Amazon presents you with a part, always verify the model number in the description. Just in case.

Great vlog...I always learn something new in your vlogs! Thank you for sharing the process. 🙏🏽

I know You can do it, You have the confidence & patience. Good luck

[@oviduran]

Thank you! The dryer has been working like a champ since I completed the repairs a few days ago and should last for many years. This is something that every household has and I hope it is useful to all.

Gotta put a belt in mine as well. I been putting it off as I have a laundry mat a block away.

Gracias. Hay muchas de estas secadoras hoy dia y ojala que le pueda ayudar a alguien arreglar la suya. Nos podemos ahorrar mucho dinero en el proceso. Estas secadoras modernas son un poco complicada y se toma mas tiempo, pero vale la pena arreglarlas uno mismo.

Great job Ovi👍🙏👍🙏

Hello 👋 Ovi you can fix everything and everything 🕺🏻nice work 🪛🔩👍👍👍

[@oviduran]

Thanks 👍These dryers (front loaders) are more complicated and will take a while to replace a belt. That's why it's best to replace all the rollers and pulley while you're at it. Now, most newer dryers are like mine and this video should be able to help someone out there. Maybe you... LOL

Good job Senior chief, you’re a man of many talents. Thankfully you didn’t finish putting everything back together without the belt…😂 I need to clean my dryer vent duct. Were you happy with that cleaning kit you bought on Amazon? Take care!

[@oviduran]

Is this Chris U? Thanks, and yes I am happy with the parts from Amazon. First I did a search for my specific model and then I looked for the highest rated parts. Only 31 bucks. And since I was already there I decided to get the kit with the rollers, pulley and spring. Might as well because I was going to have the dryer apart. This job can last me many years. Have a great week.

@@cu1389 I got a call from CTF today. Turns out they have a farewell poster with signatures from people that worked on the program. They are sending it over to my home soon.

I still use the old type of dryer. It only takes a few minutes to change the belt. Less than ten screws to take off and very simple to install nstall the belt.

[@oviduran]

Oh yes. I had one of those at my previous home and had to replace the belt there too. These new dryers are more involved and can take a long time to do.

[@epagan22]

Awesome job ovi. You are the new ovi vila of the north

[@oviduran]

Thanks. I hope this can help someone since many of us have similar dryers.

By the way the culantro germinated and waiting for them to grow a little more so I can transplant them

[@danniadkins2640]

This is my exact dryer. Do you know the part number on the belt? I don’t want to take mine apart before I’ve ordered piece due to space.

[@oviduran]

For my dryer I ordered this kit from Amazon which includes all the parts I showed in the video. amzn.to/3zh0BYI

[@nooneeyeno]

Good job. After watching you replace that belt. In my opinion, that is a bad design. The belt does not look robust enough for heavy loads. Both sides of the belt on the same side of the tensioner pully, Wouldn't the belt rub against itself? The motor should have been placed at the rear of the machine with a simple belt and pulley system and an access panel at the rear for simple replacement. That is my opinion, I could be wrong.

[@oviduran]

Thanks. Most belts in front loader dryers are now made like this with materials manufacturers call PTFE and are supposed to last 10 to 20 years. I remember in the old days belts were about three times wider and thicker than this, but I have a good feeling about this PTFE material. Yes, both sides of the belt are on the same side of the pulley, but once you put the drum in, the part of the belt that is directly touching the pulley, will pull the pulley up about four to five inches away from the bottom side of the belt and they never touch, at least until the belt brakes. It a pretty ingenious design. It's been a week since I installed the new belt and am looking forward to many years of use. Greetings from the Adirondack Mountains.

@@oviduran I hope you get many many years of service. Best wishes.
