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.

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.

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

Could not figure out how to get into the dryer. Wasted a couple hours trying different things. Found a video online which showed the repair I wanted to make. After that it was easy. One needs to be tall and in shape to lift the drum out of the case....or have the help of a second person. Only a little blood was shed but now feel confident I can replace any of the parts in the dryer if needed.

Everything I needed to know was already on your website. Prying off the top of the dryer (with a big screwdriver under the front of the top) was the hardest thing, since I was afraid I would break something. Only then can the front be removed (taking out just 2 phillips screws). The rest is easy.

put door catch in hole

Followed your very helpful video instructions. Saved me a ton. Five stars!

followed vidio instruction which made it easy

purchased bearing kit

Exactly how the video showed! It was super easy and I am a girl...although I am a lil more mechanicly inclined than most girls, it was a piece of cake!

With the help of a friend, took the top off the dryer, then removed panel with controls on it. Removed the dryer door, and then removed the drum. Changing out the drum support bearing, bearing bracket, ball hitch, grounding ball, and grounding ball clip was really easy with the assistance of an extra set of hands. I put a small dab of high-temp grease in the ball hitch, and hung the new dryer belt around the drum, and re-installed it. Opened up the vent panel on the back of the dryer, and threaded the belt around the motor and tensioner pulley. I really didn't need to change the belt, but felt since I had bought a new one, and I had it all apart...why not. I didn't even install the new front upper felt or lower felt seals as the ones on the dryer were still in excellent condition. I've kept these as spares just in case. Got it all back together and it works like a charm with NO SQUEALING!The parts I order were correct, and with the help of the instructions emailed to me just prior to receiving the parts, repair and replacement was a cinch! Very pleased with the service, parts received, and ease of replacement. I'm sold! Signed...a VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER!

Never knew I was handy, but I did it! I was reluctant to spend a couple $100 on a repair visit, so found this site and bought the coils I needed for only $26+tax. It's pretty easy. I just lifted up the top of the dryer with a screw driver, should snap open. Then unscrewed the front panel with two screws from the inside. Then located the old coils on the bottom left. The bracket that holds them is a little difficult to remove as you need to have a small philips screw driver to get the back one. But once I got that off, just unplugged the old ones and put the bracket back, then the panels and it WORKED. The only problem I have is that I didn't take the door switch off properly and now the dryer doesn't stop spinning if I open the door and want to check the clothes. So I may have to get someone in eventually.

Follow instructions all most to the letter. In video it was stated to get an assistant to hold static / housing retainer in place to start screws. I put it in place and, used Duck Tape to hold it there while i started screws. Thanks for the deal on parts and, video. I would also suggest advising to check the nylon strips on felt at the front top. Mine were worn. But there was enough at the back of nylon to remove and, glue remainder in place almost as good as new. Again! ''THANKS!''

I remove the drum, and install the bearing just like the instructions in the video.
