Will this belt cause clothes to wad in a ball and not dry?
Hello Ruby, thank you for contacting us. The multi-rib belt, part number PS11742271, can potentially cause the problem that you described. We would also recommend checking the drainage of the appliance and ensuring that it is good. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of assistance!
My dryer run; but, when it get hot it shuts down and upon restarting it runs for a few 2-3 minutes then shuts off. I checked all the vents for lint, thats not the problem. What do you think?
Hello Darren, thank you for your query. We have found that the reason a dryer shuts off after a few minutes is an overheating dryer motor. We would recommend checking the drive motor, part number PS11739459, to fix the issue. It turns the drive belt that spins the dryer drum. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!
Dryer runs continuous,but dial ( timer ) doesn't move, heat doesn't work! I replaced timer, $236, SAME problem!!
Hi James, thank you for reaching out. As you have already replaced the timer, we would recommend checking the cycling thermostat, part number PS11741918. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!
the drum wont spin and there is a high pitch noise when turned on. what could it be?
Hello Sallie, thank you for getting in touch. We would suggest checking the drive belt, part number PS11742271. If the belt snaps, the motor will run (making a noise) but won't turn the drum. If the drum spins very easily by hand with no resistance, the belt is likely broken. Also, check the drum support rollers, part number PS11741913. These support the drum. If they wear out or seize, it causes a loud, high-pitched screeching or rumbling noise and can make the motor struggle to turn the drum. We hope this helps.

The first thing I did was to unplug the dryer from the wall. Then I removed the bottom two screws and slid the bottom cover off so i could see all the way to the back, I tipped the dryer back against the wall and searched for the problem with a flashlight. I noticed that one of the guide wheels that held the drum in place was sheared of

I replaced the washer and then the clip using a pair of needle nose pliers and a regular screw driver and then turned the dryer by hand to see if the wheel came off. After confirming that it worked, I put the cover back on, and plugged it in and tested it.

I pulled the bottom panel and the door panel to replace the manifold and felt gasket around the drum. I removed old gasket very easily, it peeled right off. I use brake cleaning fluid (Spray Can from Auto Zone about $1.45) to remove old glue. Used spray contact cement (Elmer's about 4.50 at Ace) and sprayed the panel and gasket surface
... Read mores and let dry. I then applied a 2nd coat and let get "tacky" and installed the gasket. You will need an extra set of hands to hold the gasket in place while you stretch it over the the panel. The vent manifold is held in place with 3 phillips screws and was installed in about 10 minutes. The only gripe I had was in the Parts-Select illustrated breakdown they don't tell you the lint screen comes with the manifold assembly, so I bought one of them too. Now have an extra lint screen
Wasn't the belt!! Changed it anyway. Should have come here earlier. That mistake added several days to the repair waiting for a second batch of the right parts. Became a pro at taking the dryer apart and reassembling, though! Easy job, just take your time and mark your wires, if you need to. Followed other people's excellent instru
... Read morections. Clean out all the dust bunnies. Schematics were a great resource. Those and the prices made me a repeat customer. The shaft of the Idler Lever wheel was the cause, but decided, since I had it apart, to spend a little more money and replace both Drum Support Rollers and the Roller Bracket and Shaft Assembly. They showed some wear, and the parts were very inexpensive. Make sure you have snap ring pliers with prongs that are smaller than the standard 0.40 to save some aggravation with the Drum Rollers. $5 tool. Total parts were less than $60. Probably saved $150+ in labor. Quieter than ever now. Thanks!
