DE150EDW1 Frigidaire Dryer - Instructions

removed top and front of machine. removed drum. replaced shaft, bearing bracket, and support bearing from inside. replaced grrounding ball and clip from outside. reassemble.
this should be available as a kit, and should include high temp grease to put in bearing bracket

This video by Steve Ash was spot on . In our case the white rear support bearing had melted and reformed around the shaft, preventing us from being able to pop the drum in the way described in the video. We used pliers to unscrew the screws on the rear clip from the back of the dryer. The rest of it worked exactly as described in the video. Our model was White-Westinghouse DE600ADD1, which is not a model listed on the PartsSelect website. However the part worked very well. The dryer runs really quite now.

I watched the video and the instructions were perfect. The only thing I did differently was I had a second person help me to hold the bearing spring and hold the drum knob in place. I also used the rear access panel to disengage and re-engage the belt because I know I am not good at doing things blindly. You will definitely want to pre-thread the knob assembly before you screw it to the drum. Glad the kit included a bearing because the old one was completely gone. It took me so long because I took the opportunity to vacuum 10 plus years of lint and I was using it as a teaching opportunity. If I have to replace the heating element I think it will be much faster.

The repair was done by my spouse. We replaced the rear drum bearing. We installed with the instructions sent by parts select. They were very accurate. The total repair took about 1 and 1/2 hours that was only because we cleaned out the entire dryer also, by using an air compressor to clean and blow out all the lint built up. This improved drying time and the part stopped the noise. I don't recall exactly what tools were used besides screwdrivers. This was our first time to replace anything in our dryer of 12 years old. I feel that if you follow the instructions that anyone would be able to do this repair. We did the repair in our garage because you need the room to work on it.

i watched the video that is furnished at parts select, it was very useful in doing this repair. i would strongly recommend watching this as i did install the ground bearing wrong to start with,and restringing the drum belt is something you have to feel as your installing it back in place so the video is useful for that as well. my repair was on a front load dryer made by Frigidaire,

The repair went very well.The biggest problem was the spring on the tension roller when putting back together.But it just takes a little bit of patients and it was fine.Works great now.

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!''

followed vidio instruction which made it easy

purchased bearing kit

I followed the instructions in a Youtube video that an individual made with his kids. The only hard part was removing the drum assembly, the rear drum bearing was very difficult to unseat. I had to reattach the front of the dryer to give the drum assembly more support to be able to lift the rear - but overall it was quite easy to figure out disassembly and reassembly of the dryer. There's really not that much to them.

This repair is easy, but somewhat time consuming.The machine is about 30 years old and needed attention beyond replacing the purchased parts. Initially, the rubbing and thumping sound was intermittent. It got progressively louder and more steady, as time passed, until I finally opened it up to see what was happening. The tub was hitting the blower housing. The rear bearing had become so worn that the tub had dropped low enough to come in contact with the housing. While I had the unit apart, I decided to replace the heating element because it was original equipment and I thought it may have lost some of its efficiency. I ordered the parts on Sunday evening. They arrived the following Tuesday at around noon...a mere 18 hours after I placed the order. All the parts I have ever ordered from Partselect.com, and there are quite a few, have come that quickly. Removing the bearing from the drum was the most difficult part. I had to grab the mounting screws from outside the tub with vise grips to crack them loose. The rest of the bearing assembly was very easy, as was the heating coil. The front of the tub rides around a protrusion on the front panel. On that protrusion, there are three plastic "shoes" that the tub rides on. One of them had fallen off. I purchased a high temp glue suitable for use with plastic and metal, glued and clamped the part back in place. Also, some of the felt seal around the door had come loose and I used the same glue to stick that back in place. Vacuumed thoroughly, reassembled the tub, belt (look for the "this side up" stamp on the belt)and front panel. It now works like a new machine and I figure I saved about $350 if comparing this fix to buying a new machine.

I ordered the rear drum assembly on Monday evening and the part came on Wed at 11 am. I started the repair at 1 and finished at 3. It would have been faster, but my computer kept freezing during the repair video. The video was so easy to follow. I could have used longer arms or a helper, but I managed to get the job done by myself. Needless to say, my husband was thrilled. Great service. Thanks

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.

followed the Video instruction which were provided. Dryer works like brand new.

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.
