ALG643RMC1 (PALG643RMC1) Amana Dryer - Instructions

Using a Nut driver, I removed the front bottom plate on the front (2 bolts), then the door assembly (2 more). I took pictures of the wires with my phone before I removed them so that I could ensure they went back on the correct posts. I removed the front exhaust assembly (4 bolts), then pivoted the top back to make room to remove the drum (2 more). I had to rotate the drum while removing forward it to walk the belt off of the drum. The snap ring pliers made short work of the snap rings, and the rollers were off. I blew out the insides (very dusty) and inspected for any other problems. I greased the roller studs with a small amount of axle grease and replaced the rollers, securing them with the washers and snap rings. I placed the belt on the drive roller and around the tension roller, and looped it over the back right corner of the dryer while i placed the drum back into position. I rotated the belt back on until it was in its proper place and the drum was sitting on the back rollers. I then replaced the front and referenced the pictures that I took to get the wires back on correctly. The drum was a little tricky getting the tabs on the bottom front flanges in the slot, the drum resting on the front sliders correctly, and the exhaust connected to the blower motor in all at the same time. It took me several tries to get it right. I pivoted the top back on and after securing that, re-installed the door assembly and the bottom front plate. Works Great!! And less than $30! I probably should have replaced the belt as well, but the belt was in pretty good shape.

No repair at all. Simply pulled out the old filter and slipped in the new one.

Took off front panels; disconnected the wiring; removed the drum and belt; replaced roller bracket & shaft assembly, drum support roller and retaining ring. Then re-assembled.

replaced idler puller and washers

Removed bottom panel, removed door, removed front, removed brace holding drum in place, removed cylinder belt, removed drum. Quickly able to remove both drum support rollers and idler Pulley wheel. I lightly greased the roller arms and installed the new rollers and idler pulley wheel that I purchased from PartSelect.com. I put it back together in reverse order (including new cylinder belt) and have a quiet dryer again. Cost around $40 for all the parts versus over $500 for a new dryer. If I can do it, anyone can.

I contacted PartSelect and received their wonderful, quick service. The part arrived soon and it was easy to install.

I would like to say first of all that I was amaized and pleased at how simple the ordering of this part was and while looking at the parts diagram on you website I noticed the door swing was optional and could be easily changed and the dryer came from the factory with a latch installed on both sides of the door. In our laundry room the dryer sits to the left of the washer and the door to the dryer opened to the right which has always been a slight inconvenience. . . So instead of changing out the broken part, I took the door and hinge off with my cordless screwdriver (6-8 screws) and turned it around and remounted it on the opposite side. . . Simple! I never took the new part out of the ups envelope. Now I have a spare so I taped the new part in the envelope to the back of the dryer in case I ever need it and now we have more convenience with the door swinging the correct way. Sweet deal! Took less than an hour. Thank you for making this task simple. Chuck g.

First, I watched the very handy video on this topic that was linked on the parts page on this site. Find this video and watch it if you're a newbie like me. My dryer was different than the one in the video (but the vid was still very helpful) in that the top does not lift and there are (2) panels on the front that need to come off - pretty straightforward machine screw fasteners removed with a nut driver, and they came off easily. I marked the wires to the light switch @ the door, and removed them. The duct assembly came out just as the video showed, but mine had (2) 3" - 4" sensor bars across the grill of the lint duct that I needed to transplant to the new duct assembly. Fortunately, the new assy was buit to accept them. I removed the wires, and you basically have to "work" the bars out of their snap in mounts. I used a small flat blade screwdriver and gently but firmly popped them out. Once that was done, it was easy to pop them on the new duct assy and replace the wires. While reinstalling, it took a little work (and patience) to get the new duct assy to slide over the blower motor flange, but I was able to get it to slide on, and then it was just fastening the 3 screws inside the drum area. Then replace the marked switch wires on the front upper panel, and reattach both upper and lower panels. Done! I only marked it as "A bit difficult" because of the sensor bars and getting the new assy attached to the blower an in the correct position. It is otherwise an "Easy" project.

Using diagnostic information from the internet, I determined that the motor in my Amana clothes dryer was bad. I ordered the part, found an internet site that showed how to open the cabinet and access the old motor, and made the switch myself. The dryer now is working normally.

I only had to replace the old one with the new one. It was simple.

Very easy , Removed the front panel and drum. Swapped the pulley and put the unit back together

Disconnected The Power, Took The Front Panel Off The Bottom Of The Dryer. Remove The Black Plastic Duct, Remove The Steel Cover For The Blower Wheel. Spin The Blower Wheel Off While Holding The Motor To Prevent It From Turning. Remove The Blower Housing. Pull The Motor Forward, TAKE NOTE OF HOW THE BELT GOES ON THE PULLEY! Release The Belt From The Pulley. Remove The Motor From The Mount, Disconnect The Electric Plug From The Motor. Pretty Simple Really. Reassemble In Reverse!

Amazingly easy; watched a video a couple of times, then went right to work.

Removed front of dryer, first the lower then the upper front covers. Removed front drum support, front blower housing cover. Removed belt, and then motor with housing and blower wheel attached. Broke wheel and cover off motor, placed motor in vise to remove threaded nut from motor drive shaft (nut was seized). Reinstalled motor and belt. Installed new housing and blower wheel. Reassembled dryer. Note if old blower wheel had come off repair would have taken half the time and been significantly easier to perform.

Parts arrived the next day, yes, that was super fast. All parts were as ordered, much appreciuated. The dis-assembly was the hard part, getting the dryer open and figuring out how to remove the panels was hard because it was unfamiliar. I watched the videos prior to starting the work which were a reall big help. Actually, I would not have even tried this if it were not for the videos. After seeing the videos, I thought to myself, I could do that. The repair solved the problem 100%. Also, got a chance to really clean out the dryer vents and other areas. THANKS!
