replace rollers

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discol ... Read more oring refer handles. Thank you

Amazingly easy; watched a video a couple of times, then went right to work.

I knew that it have to be worn out roller drums or the idler pulley with bearing. So, I ordered both items. I watched the repair video to know how to do it. I installed the items and the sound disappeared

Unplug the power cord. Removed the lower pannel and door, disconnected wires after labeling them. Lifted the top. Removed the front drum support. Did not remove the drum, but I used an empty milk jug to wedge between the drum and the back pannel, and that was enough to do the replacement. I vaccumed all the inside from all the lint around ... Read more the motor and all the duct system. I received the part in 2 bussiness days, very impressed and my experience was very positive.

We followed the video for the new rollers and now the dryer is like new and it's 18 years old.

took dryer apart and replaced the drum support rollers. This did not work and problem is still there. The videos at the part select did not help since they seemed to be for a different dryer and nothing in them helped in any way to work on my unit. I did get a repair man out and was told that he had not seen one built like this one befo ... Read more re.

Besides successfully ordering the correct part I also noticed there were instructions on the website as to it's removal process. MOST helpful, I had not predicted the difficulty in doing it until I read the instructions. Very helpful.

It was not the drum rollers as suspected. My dryer is different than video dryer so took a bit longer to open it. The video was very helpful in many ways though - belt and tension pulley removal/installation for one. Removed the bottom panel (as others had written), the door and wires, the front baffle, released belt at tensioner and re ... Read more moved drum so all was exposed. Next, replaced the two drum rollers though the old ones were fine but since I bought parts in advance I replaced them anyway and put it all back together after vacuuming. Of course the noise is still there when dryer is in operation. Don't know what else it could be - perhaps felt that the drum turns in OR the belt tensioner bearing. If you have any suggestions you may forward to [email protected]. Thank you, Larry

I tried to just replace the cover rather than the whole unit but it was impossible - the cover would not go/stay on. I tried to remove the old unit completely but it would not unplug it was practically fused to the back of the fridge and the liner was cracking. I ended up breaking the cover and jerry rigging it over the bulb to prevent i ... Read more tems in the fridge from being able to touch. Bad solution.
