DES100CD1 Kelvinator Dryer - Instructions

Followed others directions and it went very well. I could not believe how much lint was packed in the bottom of the dryer! Need to clean this area out perhaps once a year.

We had the rear drum bearing replaced about three years ago. The company that serviced it was quick to take our money for the diagnosis but took over a month (and a threat to call the better business bureau) to actually make the repair. This time I decided to do it my self as I had successfully replaced the the drum drive belt two years ago. The dissassembly was challenging but the repair it's self very easy. I opted to use nuts and bolts to attach the bearing assembly rather than the supplied screws as they did not want to tighten. Reassmbly was a bit of a challenge regarding the drum drive belt but I had the entire repair done in less than an hour.

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.

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.

Had to remove the front of the dryer but installation was quick and easy. An affordable and quick repair.

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

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.

It took me all of 1 minute to take out the old lint screen and drop the new one back in.!!! I didn't need the frame. I had no idea that I could find a replacement so fast!!! Just wish I had not waited a month to look for one. Thanks for the fast service ! !

2 screws (Philips) old one out, new one in, real easy..

All I had to do was take out two screws that held the lint screen frame into the dryer, vacuum the opening to get the lint out that had accumulated, place the new frame in the opening, tighten the two screws that hold it in place, insert the lint screen and it was done.

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.
