Squeaking was coming from the back of the drum, not the glides. The hardest part was trying to figure out how to pull the drum out. With a little extra tug, the back pin of the drum lifted out of the socket. That was the cause of the sqeak. Just cleaned it up and added some grease and good as new. I noticed the front glides were worn and replaced it.
I ordered the rear bearing kit from the local supplier here in Marsh Harbour, Abaco the Bahamas. Delivery for the kit was 3 to 4 weeks from my local supplier.NOT PARTSELECT. While waiting I found this site and after reading the VERY helpful instructions from your customers, I realised that I would probably need additional parts, top and bottom front felt seals, maybe a new drive belt. I ordered these online and had the parts deliverd to a friends address in West Palm Beach Florida. The parts arrived in about 2 days. My wife was already there and brought the parts back.
Installation was very straight forward. Read the other installation reports and you will not have a problem. The only thing I can add is, DO NOT LOOSE THE SMALL BALL BEARING. I did and it took me about an hour to find it. My suggestion is to do a dry run installation of the bracket WITH OUT the small ball bearing. Tape the backing plate?that keeps the ball breaing inplace to the outside of the back panel with duct tape so that the screw hole will line up. Once this is done put some grease (Supplied with the kit) in the hole on the nylon bracket and attach with the two screws, do not over tighten. Grease up the area where the rear bearing shaft support will sit.
Installation of the rear bearing shaft support was straight forward. This is on the dryer drum. Extra hands are must for this.
I was very pleased with Partselct. Dryer works like new.
I first checked the heating element by peeking through the peek hole in the front to see if it was turning on. The heating element turned on but gas failed to flow. Next, I checked all sensors including the fuse, they were all fine. This points to the solenoid as the cause of the issue. So I replaced the solenoids and the problem solved. I did watch the YouTube video on how to check the sensors and replace faulty parts.
Removed top of dryer, took screws out of back of dryer, pulled drum off front of dryer, removed old belt and slid new one in place. Reattached drum to front and slid belt in place only to find it was the wrong size. Called an appliance repair man, he said happens more ften than not.
I took the top and front off the dryer. I then took the screws out of the drum and removed the drum. I then took the old bearing out and put the new one in.
Turned off dryer breaker!!Pryed dryer top up and off using flat blade screwdriver, removed two philips head screws inside and top, rermoved wires for door switch. I pulled off the old drum slide and lower felt. I scraped the large left overs and used some solvent to clean the remaining fuzz. I glued the felt and slide per the instructions, applied the new parts. I waited about 30 minutes and assembled, it did make a squeaking noise for about 2 minutes. When everything seated in the noise was gone. $150.00 and simple mechanics saved me from spending more on a new dryer, mine is 15 yrs old.
Top control panel removed; next used screwdriver to lift up dryer top on each side( the top of dryer is attached by clips on the underside) the dryer front panel has two screws, one on each side of inside front(they are easy to reach and near the top of the inside front panel, after removing these two screws we used screwdriver again to pry off front panel as it is attached also by clips on inside of front panel. At this point there is easy access to the drum where the old belt was removed, new belt put in place; removed small panel on back of dryer to access idler pulley and attached new belt through the pulley; turned the drum a couple of times by hand to check if belt was running true on the drum; problem fixed.
The wife complained of clothes not drying. Ordered a igniter without checking for exact cause to save time. When I was able to I took the top and front panels off. Unfortunately the igniter was fine. I ruled out the limits and igniter with a VOM meter. I quickly ordered the gas valve solenoids. After a quick delivery they were replaced with a screw driver and panels replaced. Works fine.
