When a GE or Hotpoint dryer starts squealing, thumping, or stops tumbling altogether, the culprit is almost always the drive belt, idler pulley, drum slides, or bearing sleeve — and once one component wears out, the others are close behind. The CAMCO3 Dryer Tune-Up Kit replaces all four wear components in a single service visit: 4 front drum slides, 1 drive belt, 1 idler pulley, 1 bearing sleeve, and 1 o-ring retainer. One kit, one labour charge, no callbacks.
⚠️ Symptoms That Mean It’s Time for a Tune-Up
- Loud squealing or squeaking noise throughout the dry cycle
- Rhythmic thumping or banging as the drum rotates
- Drum turns slowly, hesitates, or stops tumbling entirely
- Burning rubber smell during operation (worn or slipping belt)
- Dryer runs but clothes take multiple cycles to dry
- Visible drum wobble or scraping sound against the cabinet

💡 Pro Tip — Replace All Components Together, Not Just the Belt:
It’s tempting to swap only the broken belt and leave the worn idler pulley and slides in place — but a glazed pulley bearing or cracked drum slide will destroy a new belt within weeks. Since the drum is already out, fitting the complete CAMCO3 kit adds less than 10 minutes to the job and eliminates the most common cause of repeat service calls on GE dryers.

⚙️ Installation Notes
- Skill Level: Intermediate — front panel and drum removal required
- Always disconnect power before beginning any repair
- Remove the top panel, then the front bulkhead to access the drum and drive components
- Note the belt routing around the idler pulley and motor shaft before removing — photograph it if needed
- Replace all four drum slides while the drum is out — do not reuse worn slides with a new belt
- Seat the bearing sleeve and o-ring retainer at the rear drum support, reassemble, and run a timed dry cycle to confirm quiet, smooth operation
