Dryer was not heating
We followed the how-to video. It was actually easier than the video made it look. Our dryer had a removable panel behind the pulley to put the belt back on easier. We had to take the whole dryer apart, but it was not difficult at all. We replaced the heating element and put it back together. If you can screw a screw, you can do this repair. Our dryer is working good as new. I love this site!

Loud squealing sound
I followed the instructional videos for installing the rear drum bearing kit and the upper drum glide. The repair probably would have taken less than an hour, but extra time was needed to thoroughly clean out all the lint and dirt inside the dryer. Also, the spring that holds the belt idler in position came off and I didn't realize I had put it back on backwards until after everything was reassembled. When I tested the dryer I could hear the belt rubbing on the spring.

Clothes were getting trapped at edge of drum and were being burned.
Pulled dryer forward for access. Raised top by pressing clips on front. Removed front panel 2 screws. Removed old felt flange with plastic guides. Cleaned surface of old glue. Dried. apply cement per instructions applied new felt. New fit was snug and required some manipulation. When in place it helped to hold felt until cured. works great. Would not have known what problem was without the videos @ Part Select. Thanx for info and part. David

The belt broke on a squeaky dryer
I raised the top up by releasing the two clips in the front edge with a small flat head screwdriver. I used a bungie cord to keep the lid from bending to far back. I removed the front of the dryer softly letting the drum rest on the insides. I carefully removed the drum by pulling upward to disengage the rear bearing and not damage the heating element. I then cleaned the entire inside of the dryer with a vacuum, brush, and some compressed air. I then replaced and greased the new plastic bearing cup, installed the drum, slipped the belt on, installed the front cover, and hooked up the belt through the access door on the rear of the dryer. Checked to see if the system looked ok and closed the lid. Worked great. I would order a front seal felt kit also if I was to do it again.

Loud squeaking noise
Followed the video. Very helpful. There is no way I could have done this on my own without that guidance. Parts in Rear Drum Bearing Kit included new screws and metal support parts that are shown as reused in the video. To install these parts, I had to hold the back plate in place. A big piece of masking tape did the job nicely. The only major problem was tapping the holes in part that attaches to the drum -- very difficult. Needed my best Phillips screwdriver, leather gloves, and a lot of hand strength to get it done. I had to slightly ream out one of the holes to make the last screw fit. Minor problem - the idler arm is not retained by anything. The idler pulley and arm both fell off when I reinstalled the belt. I guessed right on how to get them back on the machine.
