I had broken knobs
From opening the mailed package to complete installation of 3 knows took about 3 minutes total time very easy to order on you web site and the product came in so fast I thought that you were still processing the paperwork. Thanks keep it the services.
Opened the package. Took out the new knob. Popped it on the old metal prong. Don't have to use the old pliers to start the dryer anymore. One of the little things around the house that was broken, just took a minute to order, a day or so to receive, a second to install and it was one more thing off my to do list. That was about the quickest and cheapest repair we made at our house this year.
Dryer was making LOUD, constant squeal while running
Followed others directions and it went very well. I could not believe how much lint was packed in the bottom of the dryer! Need to clean this area out perhaps once a year.
I followed others instructions on this site to disassemble but felt confident since 2-3 years prior I had replaced the felt top/bottom guides around the drum and the drum belt. The video on this page is also helpful
1) Pop the top with a putty knife 2) Unscrew two screws that hold the front onto the dryer frame 3) Lift front from two clips at bottom of dryer 4) Release tension from belt (unscrew/remove rear access plate) 4) Lift drum up and forward out of dryer 5) Unscrew drum bearing 3x screws from inside of drum 5) Remove the drum bearing holder 6) Pre-thread the rear drum bearing!!! Very important. Thread by screwing a supplied screw slowly through the pre-drilled holes. 7) Attach drum bearing 8) Attach new rear holder/cup & ball bearing (ball bearing goes on outside of plastic cup) 9) Use lots of supplied grease, espeiclly helpful that it acts as a temporary glue holding the ball bearing in place 10) Reverse steps to assemble
I'm glad I bought the entire rear bearing kit as I found the bearing holder had completely worn through and partially melted the metal cup. The ball bearing was missing - gone!
Also found that the power cord had partially melted, so I replaced that from the hardware store. Scary.
Loud sqweeking after dryer was in operation for over an hour
FOLLOW THE VIDEO!! I was scared to even get into it until I watched the video. Made it easy for me and I have little to no mechanicl skill. Excellent video that made it super easy. Took me an hour as I was taking my time. Now I could probably do the same repair in 20 minutes.
First I have to say that the video on the Parts Select website was invaluable, it truly made the replacement a no brainer. The kit came with everything I need and was a great price.
Unplug the dryer, mine is a stackable so we had to remove the dry from the top of the washer. I then followed the instructions from the video. The only real difference was that my dryer is that is has dual direction tumbling, so there were 2 idler arms instead of one to move in order to un hook the belt. was pretty easy.
I only needed my husband's help a couple of times because 1. To get the dryer off of the washer. And 2. I didn’t have the reach to install the new bearing on the back of the drum.
We followed the video exactly. The video itself was simple and straight forward. Our model was a bit different than the video's example. The video's example had their spring action for the belt configured differently. When we finally figured out the difference, we were able to finish the job within minutes. The dryer now runs like new. We aren't mechanically inclined. That's why it took us so long. I still would recommend this company to anyone because it saved us time and money. The video really helps!
