rumble when dryer started, then continuing rumble and occasional click when it was running
The videos available on the net illustrate this pretty well. I just wanted to mention that I did this in two passes. I ordered a new belt, the two drum rollers, and the idler pulley, assuming that the rumble was caused by binding in one of the rollers or the pulley, causing the belt to slip. When I got it apart, I realized the rumbling was caused by the blower wheel slipping on its shaft. So if you have this symptom, check that the blower wheel is secure on the shaft first thing. Replacing the blower wheel is a much cheaper and easier repair than replacing the belt, rollers, & pulley.

blower cage was stripped where it attached to the motor shaft
The dryer had a unusual noise when operating and air was not being drawn thru the filter. The hardest part was figuring out how the front panel came off. I finally found the 2 screws near the bottom of the front panel, about 3 inches up from the bottom going in at an angle.after that the front cover lifts right off and i was able to access the blower wheel and see that it was loose on the motor shaft. Went onto part select .com , punched in my model # and it gave me a picture and description of the part. I ordered it and recieved the part in just a few days. Thanks once again for the great service . John from virginia
