Excessive Noise from tumbler
Removed Front Panel, Filter/Drum Support and tumbler. Noted metal shavings inside cabinet on my right side. Found right front glide strip completely gone and left side deteriorated. Also spun rear drum rollers and noted noise and slight wobble on right side. Removed snap rings, washers and rollers and examined both shafts. No scoring noted so I cleaned them with mineral spirits. Used excellent website tools to rapidly identify parts needed and placed order. Parts arrived second day (w/ standard shipping option). Installed drum support wheels using new washers from kit (discarded old,thinner ones) and reused snap rings. Moving to front support, drilled out old rivets (4) from front glides with 1/4 inch bit. Inserted cork portion first followed by metal piece (I think it was teflon)and installed the rivets. Two observations here. First there were no instructions and, since my old guides were completely gone, I had to guess at the orientation. There is a pertruding tab on both pieces which I oriented to toward the drum. Once it is in its pretty obvious that the orientation is correct but you might ponder it for a minute or so. Second, one of my rivets didn't flatten out completely (probably operator error). I'm pretty sure there would have been plenty of clearance but I drilled it out and replaced it anyway. Bottton line, having a couple of extra rivets on hand might not be a bad idea. Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. The biggest issue will be the drive belt. Since I have replaced mine before (twenty five years old and two kids with cloth diapers -- its had alot of use) I draped the belt over the back portion of the drum before I re-install the tumbler unit. Get a helper or a piece of wood to support the tumbler and then reach over the top to position the belt. Now the tough part -- especially if you have big hands like mine. You need to reach in and fish the belt onto the motor pulley and then the tensioner. It may take two or three trys but you'll get it. Then I loosely installed the front drum support. At this point rotate the drum by hand to position the belt and run your hand around the inside of the tumbler to check the felt seal front and back. Tighten the front drum support, reinstall the front panel and you are done. Note. I chose to do everything from the front. There is a panel in the rear that will give you access to the motor. If you have the room and and can get easy access to the rear panel, it will make installing the belt easier. I don't so I chose to work everythig from the front. Timewise I suspect it is about even.
Took 2 screws out of front panel, set it to the side. Took 4 screws out of next panel. Remove guard over the thermo switch, 2 screws . Remove panel that held blower wheel in place. Took e-ring clip off of shaft, then took needle nose pliers and remove retainer clip, replaced blower wheel.
I went online and found a video that showed how to do the repair. Although the video showed completely removing the drum; I was able to do the repair by moving the drum to the left and right to access the rollers. By not completely removing the drum I was able to skip reinstalling the belt and re-threading the belt around the tensioners. I found installing the belt slightly difficult the first time I removed the drum when I tried to grease the drum roller. That repair didn't last very long. By not removing the drum the total time to repair the dryer took less than twenty minutes!
I followed the instruction video on the Partselect.com website exactly except that I accessed the tensioner pulley through a panel on the rear of my dryer. Very clear and concise.
Front glides were worn out. Originally added lubrication but drum tilted because the glides were vcompletely gone.
Removed front door (2 screws). Removed front panel (the component that held the glides}. that required removal of 5 screws. Cleaned it and removed old rivets and ends of glides. Installed new glides and pop riveted them in. Re-assembled panel and door and all is well.
On our Maytag dryer, the drum rests on rollers in the back and 2 smooth glides on the front. The glides had worn down completely causing the metal drum to rub against the metal rim of the dryer as it turned. We discovered the problem because metal shavings were causing dark orbital shaped marks on
Took the front and the lint catcher off the dryer to expose the front of the drum and the glides. On our dryer the drum rests on a roller in back and smooth glides in front which are held in place by rivets. these glides had worn down to the metal so that the drum was grinding against the metal ridge as it turned. Drilled out the existing rivets using a 1/8" drill bit. Took out remains of old glides and inserted new. Rivets came with the kit and it was easy to assemble. Put it all back together and now the dryer works beautifully!!
Followed the instructions per the video on this site. Only part that was a different was removing the front panel. Need to be sure to remove the backet that hold the top on as well.
the rear left roller is attached to the dryer with a shaft that has a nut on the end of it, so replacing it was considerably easier than on the right side, which required removing the retainer clip. Once I got the small back panel off, it was a pretty simple process to replace the roller with a socket - while supporting the weight of the drum with one hand, it took about 5 minutes to replace the roller and re-fasten the nut to complete the job!
Remove front panel. Remove the belt and then the drum. Remove the old bearings, according to the instructions that came with the parts, and reassemble. It took exactly 1 hour.
Part Select has great step by step instructions on how to repair things. The problem is, I went by what others said probably was the problem. I installed one roller and it didnt fix the problem. So I order the other one and the belt idler roller. Still no fix. The felt and pads are still good, so I take apart the blower and found the problem. I now have that on order. If the rollers and shaft look good, they probably are.
the dryer started sqealing really badly, did not know how long it would last. has been doing this for several months.
Took the dryer front panel off, loosened the drum, but not all the way out. Removed and checked the old rollers and shafts. Then put all the new shafts and rollers in. Put the drum back in place and front panel. Now it drys without a sound and this is a 25+ year old dryer.
Dryer Drum Support Roller Was Broken Causing Loud Noise
Removed the front panel with a screwdriver, removed the next panel with a socket, pulled out the drum and belt, removed the drum roller support and shaft with a wrench and replaced those parts. I then put everything back together.
