7208B Frigidaire Dryer - Instructions

Easy, lint trap in front, unscrewed the old base, threw out the old lint screen which was hanging by a thread, and put the new (and - KEY WORD - cheaper) part in. All by Myswlf!

Thanks.

I love technology. First thing I did was google on "U-tube", "How to repair a squeaking dryer". Several videos out there so I just found the one I needed and watched. The repair itself went easy. A word of advice would be to be careful of sharp edges and to remember to unplug the machine prior to repair. While the drum is out, go ahead and get your shop vac and clean the inside of the unit out. Also, not only put grease on the new plastic holder, but put some on the shaft of the idler puller. I also used an awl to line up the holes on the front panel when re-installing the screws. One video I watched showed reaching in through the front to take the drum belt off the pulley, where another showed removing the inspection plate on the back. This made it much easier.

Pulled out old screen (exactly like what you do to empty it), put in new one....

It was extrememly easy, just pulled out the old screen and dropped in the new one. I didn't use the frame.

Removed two screws. Removed screen frame. Cleaned lint from ductwork. Inserted new screen frame and replaced screws. Done in 5 min.

Perfect match for part we needed. Popped out old, popped in new. Works like a charm :)

I did not think anyone would even carry the lint screen and frame for our OLD dryer. The price was reasonable and shipping was fast.

unbolted one bolt and replaced old unit with new unit....took only a few minutes. Part was supposed to arrive in 3 days, but arrived next day....thanks very much!

i took apart the dryer and then took out the drum from the inside and then put the new bearing in and put everything back in

Replaced belt

Replace the Drum Bearing and Shaft

First, used a putty knife to open the top of the dryer. Second, unscrewed the front panel and removed it by pulling up and out. The drum drops down slightly after doing this. Third, open the back grating and disconnect the belt from the motor and idle pulley. Fourth, Pull the drum (with belt) out through the front opening. Jerk up HARD on the back of the drum to disconnect it from the bearing seat. Fifth, replace bearing parts and seat according to diagram. I found it very difficult to unscrew the bearing axle from the drum. Had to hold down the drum and press hard to get screws to turn without stripping. Finally, put back together in reverse, don't forget to put A LOT of grease in your new bearing seat before reconnecting.

No need to replace frame, just took the old screen out and slide the knew one in. About in two seconds its done.

first and foremost, watching video on replacement/repair was key to success.furthermore, i ordered part one day and was at my doorstep the following day. the installation process took approximately half of an hour which included vaccuuming cabinet of lint.

Really easy. 15 Minutes.
