GE dryer model DBSR453EB2WW
When I turn the dryer on, in less than 2 minutes the back of the dryer is so hot you cannot touch it. At first about a month ago when I turned it on I heard a loud pop. Maybe this could be a belt or something

These driers will do that when the lint builds up like concrete on the inside of the air ducts. Halfway doing it will not work. You need to totally tear it down and scrape out and wash all of the parts except the motor, which you vacuum out. You can go to YouTube to see videos on how to take it apart, but do a very good job or it will fail again quickly. I would get a new belt and change it while you have it apart and get some white lithium grease and grease any bearings you find. You need to clean out a drier every two years, at least, according to the manual. You just unplug the wires from the sensors and remove ductwork that they are attached on and clean the entire thing with soap and water. Make sure you go all through the dryer and get all parts like the blower fan and housing, vacuum out motor well and clean exhaust. Mark all wires you unplug so you know where they go. This is an easier job than you would think. My sister does hers at least once a year since she has five children and the dryer gets a lot of use.

Can this electric dryer be converted to gas?
My dryer was squeaking so I took it apart to replace the front bearings. Now it doesn't do anything. IT was working prior to me messing with it. It has voltage, the start and door switch seem to be fine. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Dryer drum rotates, and it responds to the "cycles" dial, but the heating element doesn't heat up. Is there a reset button somewhere, or do I need to replace the heating element, OR? Thank you.
I am trying to replace the heating element, which I can see is broken (both elements are broken), but I am unable to get the back off the unit, I can get it wedged enough to see the element, but not enough to get in and replace it. How the heck do I get it all the way off??
