Default Dyer Smoked After Large Quilt Was In For A Few Minutes
Model Number: gler331a   Brand: Frigidaire   Age: 1 - 5 years   

I placed a large comforter in my dryer for approx 10 minutes and my dryer started smoking. It works, but it seems to be runnig very hot now. It had been fine. Would I need to replace the belt?
Thank you

Default Inspecting the dryer

Start here:top removal.jpg pop the top so that you can get to the screws that hold the front on. Remove the front and get the drum out. Inspect the rear bearing and the front slides. Check the belt and Idler. probably is the belt. The only way to know is to take a look.
