TDG546RED0 Tappan Dryer - Instructions

THE PROBLEM: Rust marks in the shape of a V started appearing on my clothes. I finally realized that there was gap at the bottom between the drum and the outer frame that was caused by the upper drum support having deteriorated... Clothing would slip into the gap into the area where the metal of the spinning drum was exposed - then spin upward leaving a small rust mark... INSTALLATION: The video of installing this product was spot-on! I removed the old glide and residual glue (the glue was the hardest part), then put the new glide on. After the glue dried enough to hold the felt in place, I put it all back together. So far, no more rust marks on my clothes!

lifted up the top after releasing 2 catches with the putty knife, removing front panel, held in place with 2 screws. Scrape off top felt strip with the worn teflon tabs. Wire brush off old glue. Apply glue provided.(thin coating). install new felt strip. let the glue dry for a few minutes, reinstall, and you are done.

Unplugged dryer. Released top and tilted back. Removed front of dryer. Grabbed upper drum glide with pliers and pulled off. Grabbed lower drum seal with pliers and removed. Used paint scraper to remove major glue residue and followed with acetone. Clean up really well. Applied glue (furnished with upper drum glide) sparingly. A little goes a long way! Placed glide in position and secured with masking tape. Performed same routine for lower seal. Let it sit about 15 minutes for glue to cure. Removed tape and reversed disassembly procedure. Plugged in dryer and marveled at my awesome success!! Seriously, an easy job; anybody should be able to do it.

Raised the lid, removed 2 little screws,slipped the front panel off, disconnected the safety switch, vacuumed everything, slipped on the drive belt and reversed my way out. It was way more easy than filling a grease gun!

Remove drum, replace belt, return drum

I followed the vidio from yor web site it was great without it i would still be trying to get done.

Took the coils off and put the new one on thats all

took front off machine removing screws. Removed old felt and cleaned old glue off making sure area was clean. applied new glue and then new felt drum glide. put fish sringer around complete drum pulling tight clamping with vise grips till dry. then put front back on machine.

This repair was very easy and straight forward. I removed the front of the Dryer, following the video instruction on PartSelect website.Removed the old upper Drum glide, scraped the fron clean from any residues, applied 2 strings of glue and applied the new Drum Glide and holding it for a couple of minutes only to dry. The lower Drum seal was not too bad so I only cut of the worn out area, cut a strip of the new drum seal to fit perfectly and applied the new seal after scraping the door clean from residue. After about 5 minutes, I reassembled the Dryer and it worked like a charm. Thanks Part Select for the supplied instructions. Very Very easy and it saved me from purchasing a new Dryer.

Installed just like the video described and it went quite well. The part arrived in a short amount of time and the belt was exactly what I needed.Thank you I will visit your web site again. A very satisfied customer. :) Veronica G.

Had the macnine apart before ordering the Bearing Assembly. Reading other comments convinced me to order the Bearing Assembly. Parts were shipped very quickly after ordering and following the instructions on the web site things went back together easily.

followed the video instructions....easy as pie. Glad i bought the belt too....the belt on my dryer was very worn. Changed the bearing with the kit. Very easy to do. The whole job was done in an hour and a half....back together and running without the squeak. Glad i repaired instead of buying a new dryer. Next time i have a problem with an appliance, i will be checking PartSelect first.

I watched the videos provided on this website and followed the instructions in the order confirmation e-mail. These were both very helpful

My machine is stack washer dryer model. First remove d the door, control panel and the front panel where the seal is. Removed the old seals and glued on the new ones in placed. Cleaned and vacuumed the unit while the glue was setting up. Also had to replace the spring clip on the vent fan. Try to find a replacement clip on a Sunday afternoon. Put the uni t back together . Machine runs quiet as a mouse and no more stains and holes in my cloths.

Replaced rear bearing on back of dryer. Repair cost $20.00 an a little time. Much better then buying a new dryer. It was easy to repair the video instructions were great. I would do it again it needed.
