2nd request for answer---the lint filter red light came on and the dryer (about 1 year old) will not start. It was clean but i cleaned it again still red light and no action. What next.
For model number MED5500FW0
Hi Jack. Sadly it looks like it could be a problem with the control board. Power-cycle your dryer and if this is still happening the board might need to be replaced. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.
We replaced the drum rollers and it’s still making the screeching noise? Should I try to replace the belt and the pulley?
For model number MED5500FW0
Hi Danin, thank you for contacting us. Yes, the issue could be with the drive pulley, part number PS334244, or the drive belt, part number PS11748388. You may need to replace them to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!
The lint screen red light came on. The screen was clean but I cleaned it again. Dryer will not start.

which way does the fan motor turn to come off, i can seem to get it to budge
For model number MED5500FW0
Hello Jeff, thank you for your inquiry. The part that you are referring to is the blower wheel. It blows air through the drum and out through the exhaust vent. You can easily replace the blower wheel by using the following instructions:
1. Turn off the dryer.
2. Remove the top panel.
3. Remove the control panel.
4. Remove the front panel.
5. Remove the top brace above the drum and dislocate the bulkhead.
6. Remove the drum.
7. Remove the blower cover and use socket wrench to remove the screw holding the blower wheel.
8. Turn the screw counter-clockwise to remove.
We hope this helps!

When you push the start button it will not start
For model number MED5500FW0
Hi April, thank you for contacting us. We have found that the issue is with the door switch, part number PS12745626. The door switch prevents the dryer from running when the door is open. We hope this solves your problem!
The issue was the idler pulley. First I began opening up the front panel based on a youtube video but soon realized the model was slightly different and required a lot more items to remove. I saw the pulley in the back with nothing in the way so I put the front panel crap back on and removed the rear panel. There it was, very simple to re

I purchased the dryer repair kit with the drum belt, wheels and idler pulley. I watched the instructional videos online and it seemed fairly straight forward. Breaking down the dryer and replacing the pulleys was easy enough. My problem began when I tried to feed the drum belt around the idler pulley. After finishing the job, the dryer wo
... Read moreuld not turn and the sensor light stayed on. I thought something else was broken with the dryer and spent hours trouble shooting other problems that I was having. Finally I figured out that the drum belt was not installed correctly around the idler pulley. However, I could not get it properly installed from the front of the machine so I tried from the rear still with no avail. I finally had to fish the old belt out of the garbage can that I had thrown away earlier. I lined up the old belt with the new one in the kit and discovered that the new belt was much smaller, so I put the old one back on the drum. Here's the lesson I learned...make sure the belts are the same size before attempting to install. The old idler was responsible for the squeaking and that stopped but I am still using the same old drum belt. Hope it lasts.
I asked for advise, looked around and priced heating elements and thermostats. This was the best combo offered for the price given. It was shipped and received it very quick. Installed it and 5 minutes later, she was running like a champ!
