TDE336RBD1 Tappan Dryer - Instructions

I watched the videos provided on this website and followed the instructions in the order confirmation e-mail. These were both very helpful

Replaced rear bearing on back of dryer. Repair cost $20.00 an a little time. Much better then buying a new dryer. It was easy to repair the video instructions were great. I would do it again it needed.

Found instructions on "UTube"some of the screws were in a different position but you can see them. While you have the dryer apart it's a great time to clean it and also as long as you've gone this far replace the belt,it's probably time.

The new latch easily snapped it into place.

took front panel off, removed access panel in rear to disconnect the belt from motor. removed top panel (this is a stack unit) take plastic rivets loose from lint trap, remove lint trap tube, pull drum out after slightly pulling up to dislodge drum from bearing cradle, Remove bracket and bearing from back of unit, clean parts of old grease (be carefull not to loose small ball bearing on back) Reassemble parts using moderate amount of new grease, put parts back together in reverse order.

Unplugged dryer, Removed top of dryer, Removed electrical connection to thermal limiter, tested thermal limiter with meter and found that it was bad,removed defective limiter, ordered part, waited for part (1day), put new thermal limiter in dryer. reattached connections, put top of dryer back on, plugged in dryer, attempted dryer start up and it worked. Very easy because of the information I got on this site. Thank you

This is a front load dryer. First unbolt top cover of dryer. Then unbolt screws and connections to control panel. Next unbolt all screws holding dryer door and front bottom panel. Next take belt off of drum and slide out drum from the front. From inside of drum remove 3 screws and remove bearing then put new bearing on and bolt up the same way you take old one off. Using an 8mm socket or wrench remove plastic bearing cage located at rear of dryer. When unbolting there is a retaining clip and small steel ball to be removed from back of dryer. Replace this the same way you take it off. He sure to grease the bearing cage then replace everything back from putting the drum in first to your last step bolting on top cover of dryer. Hope this helps anyone doing this repair.

My 15 yoa son repaired the dryer. It took him a little while, but it works great. I ordered the bottom drum seal and when he pulled it apart the top seal was more worn than the bottom, but he made it work. I would suggest changing them both.

I have used this company twice now and both times have been a good experience. Would highly recommend!

Many thanks for the video you guys put together on replacing dryer belts! I didn't know how I was going to get inside the dryer. I had the dryer apart in 10 minutes! Had to wait a day for the belts to come in. New belt in and dryer running in 15 minutes! Thanks for running a first class operation!! Jim

I heard the dryer running, but I didn't hear it tumbling like usual, so I got suspicious. I popped the top off of the dryer to reveal a broken belt. Installation took 20 minutes.

put door catch in hole

I had this happen a couple years ago so I knew what to do. The hardest part is getting the old glue off. I did that with some nail polish remover and a paint scraper - probably took 20 minutes just to get the glue off. From there, it's just glue on the new one and slap it back together. In hindsight, however, I would've ordered and installed the lower guide as well and done it all at once.

followed vidio instruction which made it easy

purchased bearing kit
