FDE336RES2 Frigidaire Dryer - Instructions

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.

I followed the directions sent by you step for step and the rpair was done in no time at all. Had a little trouble with the roller ball installation but figured out how to install it after a couple of tries. Repair was done with minimal use of standard houshold tools.

It was easy, I handed the part to my husband and he did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pried top off with small screwdriver, removed two Phillips screws from inside removed front panel. Ordered parts (waited only 2 days for them to arrive) used spatula to remove both drum seal and upper drum glide. Took acetone to old glue to clean up. Followed enclosed instructions on glue application and WHAM! It works great! I watched your video. This job was a piece of CAKE! There was enough glue (and then some) from the Upper drum glide tube to use on the lower drum seal. I would highly recommend using partselect.com for any appliance parts again. I was fed up with the brown spots before and was ready to just take the plunge and buy new washer/dryer combo. But after watching video, purchasing parts, and doing this myself, I am so glad I did not buy new. As I said, this job was EXTREMELY inexpensive and SIMPLE!!! Thanks partselect.com!

I went online and viewed a you tube video on replacing the rear drum bearing on the brand of my dryer. After reviewing this, it was pretty easy since I new what I was getting into. It really helped! Most of the time was spent cleaning up the inside and outside of dryer first before the parts replacement. Other time was spent in putting back the dryer where it came out of. New dryer replacement would have been $750.00 plus labor costs modifying the area where it had to be placed which may have included relocating a shelf and re-routing the dryer ducts. Total cost was around $50.00 plus my time.

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.

The knob was an exact fit, great website for parts on older appliances!

Brought up repair video on my smart phone and followed instructions while doing the repair (pausing when needed) and completed the job in under an hour including vacuuming the lint from inside the dryer before re-assembly.

Unplug the dryer from out let, lift the lid (top of dryer), cut the zip tie. Pull the two wires and the plastec wireing harness apart. Remove the screws that holds the front panel on, and the screw and molded pice that holds the drum in place, remove the belt from around the drum. Now remove the drum, have to lift up and out on the drum. Remove motor, and pulley from old motor for use on new one. Put everything back together. Took me 15 to 30min to do this ( I recamend a new belt as long as you are this far and the price is a small amount for it. )

Took apart dryer and replaced limiter located on back, reassembled dryer and tested wiithout connecting to vent. Dryer working fine without vent connection. However as always something simple turns to disaster when children help. While cleaning out lint from dryer vent which I will say was the original problem causing the limiter to trip, youngest son wanted to help. Son did not know that to walk in an attic you must step on joists not drywall. No one was hurt just banged up falling into the garage. Extended repair to ceiling added dificulty factor of 2 days and a bit of insulation clean up. Good news is the dryer works fine and the vent is no longer clogged up with lint. Watch your help it always adds to the repair.

Removed back panel, unplugged motor and released the belt. Remove top panel then front panel. Remove drum for better access. Vacuum the lint while everything is open. Remove old motor and replace with new motor. Reassemble. Suggest replacing the belt too.

Referred to Video and replaced drum support bearing as shown. Did not solve the problem as noise was still present. Called professional repairman, who replaced the belt pulley, along with all the parts I had just installed (came as part of a total kit). I was on the correct path, but just didn't go far enough to check out the belt pulley. If it should happen again, I could complete the whole repair process. Great learning process!!

The part fit perfect repair was simple thank guys for your help u are the best/removed the top/ front face /belt & drum removed old element installed new one dryer works perfect thanks again

opened top of dryer, remove blown part and installed new part very easy.

I youtube'd the repair, and repaired it! While I was at it I replaced the belt! (Highly recommend replacing the belt while you are replacing the element!) Was a snap!
