Why does my dryer make a loud screeching noise while running? Eventually stops
For model number MEDC700VW0
Hi Wanda,
Thank you for your question. If the dryer is squeaking, the issue is with the idler pulley. The idler pulley provides tension to the belt so the belt will stay in place when the dryer is in use. The part number listed under your model number for the idler pulley is PS334244. If you would like to place an order for it, you may order it either online or by calling our customer service line and anyone will be happy to assist you. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!
Hello Ron, thank you for getting in touch. We would suggest making sure the vents are not clogged. If the issue remains, the problem might be with the thermal fuse, part number PS11741460. If the fuse is faulty, the dryer may start but will not heat. You may test the thermal fuse for continuity using a multimeter. We hope this helps!

Remove the kick plate from the bottom of the dryer by sliding a putty knife along the top edge to release the plastic clamps, one on each side about 4" in from the edges. The kick plate folds out and down. You will see the heat shield on the right, held in by one hex head screw. Remove screw and heat shield. The element is positioned in a
... Read moren open-front housing and is fastened to the left side of the housing by two hex head screws, located on the "rail" of the element and right near the two wires. Remove the hex-head screws that hold the element in place and disconnected the two wires by pulling them out by hand or with needle nose pliers. The only difficulty here is the cramped working area...I recommend a stubby socket driver for these two screws. Most of this I had to do by feel because I could not see the screw heads. Once the screws are out and the wires have been disconnected, slide the old element straight out toward you. You may need to disconnect a small plastic hose located to the left front of the element, but this hose just pulls right off. Vacume the dust & lint build-up out of the whole area, wipe out the element housing and clean up the whole underside of the dryer prior to installing the new element. Installation is reverse of removal. It also might be a good opportunity to clean out your exhaust duct and the vent to the outside. (Never use the aluminum foil-accordian-type duct.) If the exterior dryer vent has any kind of screen over it, remove it and get rid of it. Screens collect lint, lint builds up and burns out elements.
