Hot Point DLB 2650

Purchased this dryer used for cheap. When I got it home I noticed that the plug was a three prong and the wall had a four prong (doh!).


Went to the store and bought the right plug ($25) and installed it. I was a little nervous about going from a 3 prong to a 4 prong and I didn't want to electrify myself in the process. I put the three matching wires in the correct places and then found a nut to ground the extra ground to.

I threw the switch and...I lived! The dryer hummed to life and didn't sound too bad for being a dryer 25 years old. After a while I noticed it started to sqeak and I replaced the belt. This did not help though. I finally replaced the rear bearing with new one (old one was metal, new one is plastic).

This was a simple repair and immediately silenced the dryer. I also replaced the guides on the drum at the same time. With a little work and a couple of new parts this $35 dryer has become a good machine. I was a little skeptical of a dryer named Hotpoint but so far it has served me well.

The dryer has a light inside and a typical lint filter. Also has a sensor dry position on the knob (wow!) which works surprisingly well. Very quiet and drys clothes quickly.

I would give this dryer 4 out of 5 stars simply because I had to replace some of the parts. Otherwise this dryer would have been 5 out of 5!

You told your experience with that dryer which is initially little nervous because you become confused in 4 prong and 3 prong then finally you placed it correctly. Now this dryer is working good with no bad voice and you don't use such dryer in your last 25 years life. On the other hand, I like to place a order essay online but i got more than one websites and could not select any one. Please give me suggestion about it.

Hot Point DLB 2650 is good model of Washing machine. Last two months ago i have sold out this machine because my wife want to buy new machine. But i have used it almost 10 years and very good experience with it. I hope like me other people have similar experience with it. However, I want to find reliable source to find useful information about essay writing services online.blogspot.com but i think it's good platform to share their experience with different models of machines.

Amazing NEW

If the drier is really 25 years old and it is actually the very way as you describe it, I am really amazed. Can you also tell the price of all the extra stuff that you had to buy to make this running smoothly.
