Hi all,
The belt broke on my GE dryer that I'm in the process of repairing. I was able to get the belt on/in position but now realize the wheel on the spring pulley has been compromised. It seems when the belt broke the wheel came off along with some of the components that held it on the pulley lever. Is this worth repairing?? (I really want to keep this dryer going if not too much of a hassle.)
I was able to easily find the right belt but I can't find the wheel piece anywhere online. The wheel itself is fine except it's missing a few things to secure it to the lever rod. It seems there's a small piece that sits in the inner hole that's missing because it sits unevenly on the rod. There is one intact (inner) piece on one side but not the outer... not sure if it disintegrated or what... I've looked all over the bottom of the dryer but only found a small washer, broken ?washer and c-clip which doesn't fit tightly on the rod anymore (see second to last pict for these items). I'm wondering if I can find a few small items at the hardware store to make this work?
Thanks for any advice!
Also, I'm really curious what year this dryer is ... from the serial number (AS) it's either 1973 or 1985.
