RES7745RQ0 Roper Dryer - Instructions

I had purchased a motor for the dryer first. The blower wheel broke while I was trying to take the motor off from the blower wheel. Installing the new wheel was fairly easy once I took the blower cover of at the back of the dryer and literally brake the wheel of the motor shaft.

Removed back panel as instructed. removed heating element saw that it was broken, put in new element, replaced back panel, and tada!! heating Thanks a million, and delivery was so fast

For 2 years, I propped a broom stick against my dryer door to keep it shut while it was running. Last Sunday night, I decided that it was about time to fix it. I found the PartSelect site, which was extremely easy to navigate, and ordered a replacement kit. It arrived in 2 days via Fed Ex and actually contained extras of each of the 2 components, in slightly different sizes. It took me about 10 minutes of eyeballing the parts to figure out how to place them and about 30 seconds to install the new latch parts. They fit perfectly. Great site, great service, I would highly recommend this site.

found out that pushing in on wheel and turning counter clock wise, wheel screws off rather easy.

Removed back of dryer and the fuse was right there in plain sight. Had to remove a screw and pull contact wires from fuse. Attached wires to new fuse, replaced screw that held fuse in place. Replaced dryer back. This web site is great! Diagnosed my problem, and then received the replacement part the next day! I will use the site again, if necessary, and recommend it to others.

I replaced the thermal fuse and it started right up.

Watching the video from Parts Select for replacing the rollers showed us all we needed to easily replace the wheels as well as the Pulley and belt. It made a gigantic different in the noise and efficiency of the dryer. One of the Wheels was actually 3/4 gone, worn away. Hopefully, this repair will extend the life of an already old dryer. Thanks for the videos that made the repair a 'piece of cake'.

Well it took me longer to get the dryer apart and than it did to get it back together... Well I opened it up it was obvious I had burned up the motor you couldn't even see it for all the lint that was built up around it... And the hardest part was removing the fan from the motor shaft, I didn't realize it was plastic and sort of mangled it getting it off so I went ahead and replaced it as well. The hardest part of the whole repair was removing and replacing the clips that hold the motor in place and there didn't seem to be any trick to it, I used a pair of channel locks and a little muscle to get them off and back on everything else was a breeze! I recommend checking the exhaust pipe at least once a year to make sure air is flowing freely to prevent the lint build up inside and even more often if you have a long run. This should prevent having this problem again...

At first dryer would not turn off so you had to turn it off manually. Then dryer lost heat, so I took it apart and the heating element wires had been melted. I decided to get the sensors and the heating element because I had the problem of it not shutting off before the heating element went out. Took me about 30 mins, works like a charm. Only have to do one cycle again. My advice replace the sensors if you are having to do multiple cycles and save yourself the price of a new heating element

The dryer would come on but not tumble and then shut itself off. I called a repair man, who came out after a $45 visit and said the motor needs to be replaced. He said it would be $200 plus the service call of $45. I told him no thanks but still had to pay him the $45 service call fee. The name of the company I called was Cook Appliance Repair out of Louisville Kentucky. I then did a Google search on locating a company that I could order the motor from and found Part Select to be very reasonable. The new motor was $79. I went ahead and ordered the maintainience kit that included the belt, the two rollers with clips and the spring loaded roller. The clips were a little difficult to remove and put back on the motor. The videos on Part Select did help and I would recommend watching them prior to replacing parts on any appliance. I am glad Part Select had the repair videos and think that is going above and beyond by offering these videos. The delivery time was quick. I ordered on a Saturday and received the parts on Wednesday with the standard cheapest shipping. I am very pleased with the parts and Part Select and would definitely recommend Part Select and will use again on my next repair. Total spent including shipping was about $114.60. My dryer is now fixed and working great. Thanks Part Select.

Read the Use & Care Guide! I spent several hours trying to repair a dryer that was not broken because I was unaware of the "lint signal". While replacing a burnt out heater element I apparently disturbed the flapper on the lint signal box and it stuck in the open position. My wife who does the laundry has always kept the lint filter clean so we had never heard the lint signal and I assumed that the high pitched sound I was hearing must have been from a faulty gasket, belt, roller, pully, or motor. Boy is my face red!

followed the excellent video that showed how to replace the part

The repair could not have went better. Did just as video showed and it was up and running in 10 min..The video was very helpfull.

I don't know the proper names for everything and I'm not a handy man by any means! That's why when my husband and I were trying to figure out what was wrong, I was so proud of myself when I discovered the issue. I order the part around 4pm the next day and it was delivered at 3pm the next day even though I only paid for FedEx Ground (3-5 day) shipping. I was very very pleased with that! I was going to wait till my husband got home from work, but I decided to just try replacing it myself. I took the back of the dryer apart and unscrewed the heating element case. I used the pliers to unplug the wires. I plugged the wires into the new heating element, put everything back together, checked to make sure the dryer was heating up again and wa-la... I was done! It was sooooooo easy!! And finding the correct part on partselect.com was very simple as well.
