Squealing when running
I had already taken the dryer apart prior to changing the felt seal. Had oiled the rollers, greased the bearings & vacuumed the whole inside of the dryer out. Had used a high temp lubricant on the seal & had stopped squeaking for about a month. I ordered 2 seals & when they arrived, I popped the top of the dryer off using the putty knife to pry the spring latches. I opened the top up & leaned it against a wall. I disconnected the wiring to the light & the switch in the door, making note of the wiring order. Then used a nut driver to take the 2 screws from the inside out, that holds the front cover in place. Then the same for the 4 screws holding the front bulkhead in place. Then lifted up & out from the unit. Then used the putty knife to scrap the adhesive & old seal off the bulkhead. Cleaned as much of the adhesive off, then applied some high temp silicone adhesive to the bulkhead, placed the new seal on, using some clamps to hold it in place. After making sure it had adhered to the seal & bulkhead. Did the reversal of the above mentioned steps. Moved the unit to laundry room, plugged it in then started it & voila no more squeaking dryer.

needed new dryer belt
The repair went better than expected. I watched the video of how to replace the dryer belt and although it wasn't exactly the same, just by watching the video I was able to find my way through the process. Thank you very much for taking the time to create the video, it was very helpful and saved me a bundle of money by being able to do the repair myself.Thanks again!!! Dano, Melbourne Fl.

Lint filter on older dryer collapsed
This is merely taking the old filter out and putting the new filter in. You will not find this part unless you go online or get lucky and find one in a used dryer. It is not necessary but I do recommend vacuuming the inside of the dryer beneath the filter. It is amazing how much lint can be in there.

Bad drive pulley drum stoped turning
I removed the top and front of the dryer then the lint filter housing and frame that holds in the drum then the drum belt and drum. Found that tha drive pulley was spining on ths shaft. I removed the fan cover, so I could remove the fan. I disconted wire harnsh and removed motor clamps from back and front of motor. Removed drive pulley and held shaft with a pare of chanellocks. I removed fan with 7/8 socket and impact drill.Then I replaced the motor by taking the motor frame out of the drier for easyer actess. Install fan on new motor by holding drive pulley with cressent while putting on fan with impact drill. Put motor in u shaped saddles making sure they are seated in the bottom. You may have to turn the barring a little. Then reinstale clamps. Put motor back in drier and put drier back togeather. simple saves money 144.00$ for motor and beld no labor. Ed from Mojve CA.

Horrible Sqweeling
When I first heard it sqweeling I tokk off bottom cover and peeked around the turned it on and it seemed to be coming from a back roller,I sprayed a little wd-40 and it went away,for a day !

Dryer stopped tumbling
Hi Folks - just wanted to thank Parts Select. I am a DIY guy but have my limitations and have never tackled a dryer before. What really helped was that Parts Select showed up easily when I put in my Dryer brand and model number into a Google search. Then their website showed me common problems. But the best part was the video and the "video guy" who showed me how easy the problem was to correct. To be honest, I wasn't sure if the parts ordered would fix the problem, but when weighing $36 in replacement parts vs. $500 for a new dryer, I took the plunge. The parts were exact fits for the worn parts. They went in easily. And when I finished, I was really happy that the dryer is running like new... I don't ususally do surveys but I really thought Parts Select was top notch !

Rollers were squeeling
Found the repair manual on the internet. Read the parts related to my problem and then proceeded. The job was actually easier than the directions outlined. The parts fit perfectly and at this very moment I can hardly hear the dryer running.
