Does anyone know how to remove the front panel from a GM Frigidaire dryer, model DCDAN? The customer says the dryer is 39 years old, and the belt needs replacing. I have had very little experience with Frigidaires. I removed the back panel, to view the idler wheel. The belt seems to go around the drum from the front, but I can't figure out how to remove the panel. I lifted up the top (similar to a Whirlpool), but did not find any screws holding the front panel on. Do I have to remove the front ring and slide the new belt over the drum from the top?

Remove the screws from the rear of the drum that hold it onto the drum shaft. With the cabinet top raised, move the drum forward and slip the belt off the rear of the drum. It would seem easier to remove the front ring to make more room, but I never had to do this on my 68. That's a very nice dryer - a great auto-dry and nice and soft clothes. The machine is very quiet too.

Hi Fred, found your belt, and its on its way to you. Good Luck, glad I could help you out. You sent me some wonderful literature on my Blackstone washer and dryer a while back and I appreciated it very much. Jimmy |
