DE271JDW1 Westinghouse Dryer - Instructions

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.

Took cover off and removed damaged part. Removed wiring and reattached to new part

removed the front then removed the belt that turns the drum pulled the drum strait up from the top then removed the bushing from the back wall put the new one in I also put A little grease in the new bushing to keep it from wearing installed the drum and front. realy easy. I'm A Instructor at A technical collage in Winnfield Louisiana and I used this as A project for my students.

removed top removed the front slipped off old belt installed new belt replaced idler pulley assembly. removed 2 screws and replaced lint frame and screen. I would advise if you have an older dryer you open top, remove front and check ,out fan that is on other side of lint screen. my fan was so full of lint im surprised it didn't catch on fire. dryer was very noisy due to bearings being out on idler pulley assembly and built up lint in fan assembly. its works like new since I did repair. you can buy pulley assembly and belt for the same price as the lint screen and frame. less than $50 runs great.
