LDE8424ACL Maytag Dryer - Instructions

I diagnosed the problem with the dryer as being a bad blower wheel. Ordered the wheel and replaced easily. Removed front of dryer, removed front drum support and ductwork, removed wiring shield for heating element and then had full access to the blower wheel to replace. Used spring ring pliers to remove spring ring, then removed retaining clip for blower wheel. Wheel slipped off shaft easily and I was able to reverse process to replace the wheel.

I "Youtube'd" the model number and "make" and followed the simple instructions. This job was very easy. The symptoms pointed to either the drum rollers or the idler wheel so I replaced both while I was in there. I was able to do all with one "four-way" screwdriver, and didn't have to move the dryer out. I used snap ring pliers to remove the drum roller snap rings, but that could of been done with fine needle nosed pliers. While I had the drum out I used my shop vac to give the inside a good cleaning. I put it all back together and plugged it in and we couldn't believe how quiet it was.
