If you notice that your dryer is noisy or will not tumble, you may need to replace the tri ring. This part is triangular, and is less than an inch in size. Tri rings can be found both on the idler pulley shaft, or on the rear drum roller shaft. In either case, you will need to remove the front panel of the dryer and the drum to access the part for repair. Once you have accessed the damaged tri ring, you will simply need to slip it off and replace it with the new one. This part is sold individually. Be sure to disconnect the power source from the dryer before you begin this repair.

I have plenty of heat and the dryer tumbles, but there is no air coming out of the exhaust hole in the back? Clothes take way too long to dry and water is pooling under the dryer. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Hi Robert,
Thank you for your question. If there is no air coming out of the exhaust, then there is likely a blockage of lint trapped in the vent that will need to be cleaned out to correct this issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Dryer gets hot but want tumble
For model number Leb6200pq0
Hello Jonathan, Thank you for the question. In most cases this is caused by a broken Belt. We hope this helps.
Is the price listed for one tri ring? From the video it would appear I need two tri rings per wheel? Is it really that much for one tri ring? I will be ordering one drum support roller (ps11752609). Thanks.

Hello Steve, Thank you for the question. The Tri Ring is sold individually. Hope this helps!
First I raised the top of the dryer(after unplugging the power cord) disconnected two wires to the front door switch and then removed two screws using a nutdriver. The front cover lifts up and while supporting the drum set the cover aside. Slide the belt off the drum and remove it. I then removed the two support roller tri rings and replaced the rollers and tri rings and reassymbled the dryer. It was a very simple repair.
I lifted the top of the dryer and removed the front panel. I removed the drum exposing the drum rollers. I replaced the rollers and reassembled the dryer. The exploded views on the web site made it easy to see what to do.
I just followed the videos I received with the order and everything went really well. This dryer was a little different than the video, but the process was the same. The HE3 does require 4 drum rollers and I had only ordered 2. However, there was only one bad roller, so I installed both on the back of the drum. The two front rollers are pretty easy to get to if they go bad. The idler pulley was completely worn out with an 1/8 inch groove worn off to one side. PartSelect made this an easy project!

High pitch noice
Raised the front of top panel with the putty knife and the front panel was unscrewed as the video showed. The drum slid out after the belt was released.
My machine had 4 rollers, which was not shown in the schematics. So I replaced the back, cleaned the front ones and works great for now. Plan to replace the front later.
Removing the tri rings is much easier if cut w wire cutters. Otherwise waist lots of time to get them off. Just buy new ones.
I'm still waiting on my idler pulley. It arrived at Fed EX depot in Tracy CA on December 14th and has still not been shipped. So it is pretty fucking hard for me to install it! Maybe if you had customer service that would answer their phones or reply to my Emails would be helpful
The dryer was squeaking and would not heat at all.
The first thing I did was call my friend Donnie who manages some apartment buildings and who is always complaining about fixing things and getting the right parts to fix things. He told me what to order from PartsSelect and when the parts got here I called him up and he did the repair work.
He was reluctant to do the work at first but after he found out I had ordered the parts from PartsSelect he was happy to do the work. "Their parts are always right and they always work," was what he said after he had my dryer working just like new. So if you know nothing about fixing things and buying parts just call PartsSelect and you will be fine. Just ask my friend Donnie!!!
Dryer would run 1 min then stop running with some heat in drum
Videos are excellent to open and access internal parts. It turned out a rat was killed in the blower fan when we first encountered the problem. This prevented the blower from turning which interfered with motor function.
This required removing drum & belt, disconnecting motor clips, blower belt, and blower housing. The blower housing needed to be disassembled. Having a 5/16” & 1/8” ratcheting nut driver makes this process much easier. Don’t try this with a wrench.
After getting rid of the rat and decomposition, we sanitized the entire housing with soap & chlorine bleach.
Reassembly was uneventful and relatively easy. We ended up replacing 4 rollers, 2 belts (drum belt & blower belt), the thermistor which was damaged as a result of the blocked blower.
drum roller became lose and seperated from the shaft that supports it. it had to be replaced
remove the front panel, belt [notice the way the belt is fasten] remove the tub, support bracket to the drum roller, and slide the new drum roller on and place the tre ring in the slot. then re-install everything in reverse

Correct Part, Easy Installation
The part I got was correct and went on great. It can be used in many different spots in my dryer but I only got two. It should last many years.

Repair was easy
I ordered multiple parts, unfortunately I did not need the tri ring as it already came with the
drum wheel. So those 4 rings where a big waste of money. Need better explanation of what
comes with other parts.

Part was what I expected, but expensive..
Parts I purchased were fine.. However, Your parts are very pricey and I found a vendor selling top grade Maytag parts for half the price. I purchased a new motor, belt and fan for less than the price of your motor.. with free shipping
