Dryer noisy during start and operation
the rear left roller is attached to the dryer with a shaft that has a nut on the end of it, so replacing it was considerably easier than on the right side, which required removing the retainer clip.
Once I got the small back panel off, it was a pretty simple process to replace the roller with a socket - while supporting the weight of the drum with one hand, it took about 5 minutes to replace the roller and re-fasten the nut to complete the job!

After 30 yars the dry was really noisey.
First I'd like to say I ordered the parts one day and got them the next. That kind of service is awesome!

Pulled off the front panel (Removed the 2 screws at bottom then lifted up and out from the bottom. Set it to the side. Then removed the 4 screws holding the front of tub housing in place and pulled the housing to the side. Pulled the tub forward a few inches to expose the drum roller wheels located toward the back of the tub. Didn't pull the drum very far forward because I didn't want the drive belt to come off the pulleys. Removed the retaining clip from the first wheel and then removed the 2 rub washers and the wheel. Repeated the same to the other wheel. Pushed the tub back in place. Reached in around the tub and repositioned the belt to the front of the grove in the drum in which the wheels run. Reassembled the front tub housing, making sure the blower flange fit evenly and well into the felt sleeve. Reinstalled the front panel. Smiled when I turned on the dryer and it was quite. I didn't install the front glide kit though I may in the future since they are fairly warn.

Making a loud squeaking noise
I unscrewed 2 screw's from bottom of dryer and lifted off front. Removed 4 5/16 screw's and lifted off front drum. Removed belt and took out drum. Removed front drum roller's and replaced them. Used snap ring pliers. They are a big help.
Replaced drum but not all the way. Placed new belt on drum about 1/2 inch in front of groove. Flat side down, looped it over idle pulley and motor. Put drum in place. Replaced Front Guide's 2. Drilled out old rivet's 1/8" drill. Replaced front drum cover and 4 screw'. Replaced front of dryer and 2 screw's. The video showing how to do job was very helpful, watch it. PartSelect do a great job, I don't think I would have tried this job without their help. Dryer works like new.

Loud squeak when running
I'm an amateur!! I took my laptop to the basement and watched your video while I did the repair, stopping and replaying when necessary. The only thing that I found difficult is that my dryer is put together slightly different than the one in the video. But after some trial and error, I got it all figured out. The part you suggested solved the problem. Thanks!

Loud drum rollers
Watched the repair video, went from there. My belt tensioner was different than what was shown on the video. That took a little more time to figure out how to reinstall. A picture is worth a thousand words when it comes to repairs! Thanks

Drum roller found in the bottom of the dryer
I didn't find the video demonstrating diss-assembly until I had the dryer apart-it would have saved quite a bit of time. The drum roller apparently seized up and tore the roller shaft away from the drum roller support housing. I found a piece of scrap metal in my shop, drilled and tapped it to mount behind the damaged area. I drilled a hole to accommodate the roller shaft and reassembled. The dryer worked but was extremely noisy. I assumed the roller and shaft were damaged beyond what was visible and ordered two new rollers and shafts from partselect.com. They said to allow 5-7 days, I received them in less than 36 hours. I diss-assembled the dryer again, installed the new rollers and shafts (now in less than 30 minutes)and reinstalled the drum and belt. The dryer is now at least as quiet as when it was new and we spent less than $50 instead of the $550 we were prepared to spend on a replacement dryer.

baffles broke off
Unplugged dryer. Removed dryer door with philips screwdriver. Removed front dryer panel aftr loosening philips screws on each side of door. Then at top right corners I used a nutdriver to remove clips/hooks that hold down top of dryer. I then lifted top of dryer up- it is hinged at back. I could then manually turn drum to access screws that hold baffles. I held each baffle in place with left hand and turned in screws with right hand until tight, using nut driver. I vacuumed out inside of dryer. Reassembled top, front panels and door. plugged in and tested. All good.

Short baffle broke off in the dryer
Removed the door and the front panel by removing the screws in the door hinge and two more screws opposite the door. Then removed two screws at the top of the front of the dryer, one on each side. The allowed a bracket that held down the top of the dryer to be removed. Then I lifted up the top of the dryer and propped it open with a small box. Then all that remained was to put the new baffle in the inside of the dryer drum and replace the screws from the outside of the dryer drum. My only complaint was that the new baffle did not come with two new screws. I had to go out and buy them separately because I only found one of the old screws in the bottom of the dryer under the drum.

Baffle fell off
Baffle replacement did not include screws. Replacements were hard to find. The missing ones were not accessible in the bottom of the machine (behind motor,etc). Also screw holes were not predrilled so difficult to attach with limited space.

The best was a Utube video by someone who had an arm in a sling, therefore a one-armed installation. It was excellent instruction.
