The blower fan was loose on the drive motor shaft and rubbing against the housing

You tube has quite a few videos that walk you right through the entire process. Due to the age of my dryer I replaced the belt and the Rear Drum Bearing kit while I had it apart. There were videos for all of it. Easy fix.

Removing old felt and glue

After removing the old drum glide there was tufts of felt and glue left behind. The DIY video (which inspired me to try this repair myself) says to use a scraper and wire brush to clean the drum edge. I decided to try a drill with a wire wheel. Worked great. The surface was shining clean in minutes.

Scraping noise at rear of drum

Watched video on you tube went to PartSelect web site determined it was the rear bearing from the probable causes listed. Received part in two days and the job took less than thirty minutes. The limited access to the belt motor was the only difficult part of the job but by putting the belt on the idler pulley first and pulling down on the belt I was able to get it over the motor pulley. Thanks PartSelect for making this job easier than I thought it would be.

drum squeak

After figuring out how to remove the top, front, and control panel from the Gallery series, which is different than the dryer in the video, the repair was easy. Just followed the rest of the proceedure in the video.

Dryer was making an unusual noise and drum would turn only slowly

Replaced the front and rear drum bearings and changed the belt because the dryer was about 8 years old. The repair was easier than I anticipated thanks to the excellent repair video furnished by Parts Select. FedEx delivered the new parts within two days. Dryer works like new!

Squeaky Squealing dryer, then the drum stopped turning

I followed the instructions in the videos that came with the email I got when the parts shipped. I would recommend looking at all the parts that come with the kit before you start. The video says to reuse some parts, but you have new ones. Also, after unplugging the dryer, I used a flat screw driver to pop the tabs on the 'lid' of the dryer. Removing the two screws that hold the front on was easy, and removing the front to sit aside. The flashlight is nice when you reach under the drum to get the belt off the idler pully and motor pulley. Wiggling the drum out was a little tricky but not hard. After removing the drum, I vacuumed the lint and really cleaned the inside of the dryer. Taking the screws out of the inside of the drum would be easier if you can put it up on a table or other work surface. Bottom line, I'm a girl with arthritis and did it by myself, you can too :) Dryer runs like a dream

brown streaks on clothes and not drying very well

I removed and replaced both upper drum glide which took only a few minutes. The old one came off very easily and the new one after seeing your video was a breeze. The lower drum seal took longer to remove the old glue since it was nearly petrafied but once the glue was off the new one was extremely simple to install... My dryer now dries again and doesn't streak the clothes. Thank You for the help.... You are wonderful and made a task extremely easy. The only thing I didn't know was I had to lift the dryer tub up a little to fit the front back on. Wow I know nothing about dryers and this was a snap!!!!!
