The dryer has a squeal that got worse.
Pulled the dryer front off to expose the problem. Thought it had a bearing of some type. Went to the PartSelect web site and watched the repair video. The Tech explained everything needed to make the repair. Ordered the parts kit and it arrived in three days by FedEx. Followed the directions. Simple. The video was excellent and made the repair a snap. Thanks.
Removed dryer top. Unscrewed the screw from each side inside the dryer the ones below the control panels. Don't unscrew those you will just have to put them back. Insert a flathead screw driver on the left side to loosen the front panel and slide it gently to the right. You can replace the drum glide without disconnecting any of the wires. Remove old drum glide and clean. Install new one and while the glue dries clean inside the dryer. Mine was very dirty!!!! Put everthing back and your ready to go. Don't forget to hook back the dryer vent. Thank you partselect my dryer is almost like new and is drying so much faster, no more noise and you have saved me lots of money.
Real simple, Unplug power cord from the wall outlet. Then open the top of the dryer by inserting a flat blade screwdriver under the front and pry up till the top snaps open. Lean the top to the back to keep it out of the way. Remove the 2 screws that held the front on and remove the wires for the door switch and the light. Remove the front by letting it lean out about 8 inches and lift it up out of the two bottom clips. Then just lay it any where it will be easy to work on. Clean where the new guide will go. Then just follow the instructions that came with the part. After the adhesive is fully dry just reverse the process and you are done.
removed two phillips screws from front panel, removed front panel and raised top cover, had my wife hold up top cover while i removed belt and installed new one, reassembled in reverse order, turned on dryer and checked for proper operation, and yes i did unplug the unit. worked great!!
clothes getting caught between drum and front of machine leaving rust marks
* Clean off top of stackable dryer and remove top lid (pops off w/ screwdriver) * Disconnect power supply and control wiring (right side under top lid) * Remove left and right single screws securing front face of dryer * Pop off dryer face w/ screwdriver * Remove existing top glide from dryer face (peels off, use screwdriver or chisel/scraper to remove residue from felt and glue) * Test fit new top glide * Apply adhesive (included) to dryer face rim * Clamp with 4 or so spring clamps and allow adhesive to set up (I waited about 30 minutes). * Clean and inspect inside of dryer while the front face is off * Clean dryer vent assembly (attached to dryer face) * Reassemble and test easy rotation of the drum prior to use
1.) Unplug Dryer 2.) pop dryer lid by depressing 2 front clips with flat head screw dryer 3.) on back of dryer remove access cover and release belt tension 4.) remove front panel screws and then pop off front panel 5.) remove old gasket. Used XACTO knife, razor blades and acetone. Go slow and be careful. 6.) apply new high temp glue, let set up for a minute 7.) position the new felt gasket and clamp into place. I used C-Clamps and squeeze clamps. 8.) I let sit overnight. 9.) re-assemble and good to go.
NOTE: In retrospect I should have replaced both seals at the same time. The bottom seal is pretty worn but is still working out for now.
I removed the two screws inside the door and popped the top loose. I took the top off to see and have access to the interior. I leaned the front out and inserted the belt around the drum (with my wife's help), replaced the screws and laid the dryer on it's face on a rolled up blanket and proceeded to run the belt around the pulleys (two). The drive pulley was easy but the idler pulley, not so easy. I had to figure out how the pulley arm was supposed to provide tension on the belt. I figured it out by looking at the diagram. It was then I found the idler pulley was broken and fell apart in my hand. I advise that a new pulley be installed at the same time as the belt. Everything I read on your web site helped.
Open up the unit's lid first and then removed the front panel. Then I removed the broken belt and then routed the new belt around drum, through the belt tensioner, and onto to the motor pulley. I checked to make sure the belt was securely in place and if it would rotate the drum. Once I was positive it was in place I put the dryer panels back together, plug in the dryer, and tested operation. The only thing that was difficult was trying to figure out the routing of the belt through the tensioner because the old belt wasn't in place anymore. In all it was a 45 minute job.
I removed the front cover and top of the dryer by removing screws visible from opening the dryer door. I then had to figure out exactly how the belt was set around the drum and other pulleys. With the belt around the drum and around the motor rotor, the other pulley had to be very forcibly pushed towards the drum in order to get the belt seated correctly. This being my first dryer repair, I was unsure of how the belt was needed to placed. But eventually figured it out using pictures from the internet. The second pulley required a lot of force and I had to squeeze my hand and arm under the drum of the dryer in order to make the belt fit correctly with enough slack to reach around the second pulley.
1)Unplugged unit from out let 2) Lifted top cover from base by prying up from the from the corners back is hinged 3) removed wires for door switch , removed a screw on the left and right from front. 4) pull front cover out from the top untill it clears drum then lift straight up off bottom clips. 5) scrape off old felt strip and guides 6) Sand untill all felt residue gone apply new glue to front cover wait a few minutes for glue to get tacky 7) clean out all the lint build up Checking from time to time that guide assemble is in place on front cover. 8) reinstall front cover when glue is dry.
Removed the top of the dryer 2 screws. procedure open dryer door. At the top of the dryer door their is two screws left to right, Remove them and lift top off. Inside where the top was is two screws left to right. Remove the two screws and take the front panel off. Carefull not to pull wireing loose. Lean door against something so you don't have to disasemble wireing. Pull broken belt out and install new belt around tumbler and up and over tension pulley and pull down and slip over the motor pulley. Your'e done. Reassemble front then top. My dryer ran just fine after these steps. The question and answers helped me do this.
