Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
The drum support roller (Dryer Drum Support Roller, Drum Roller and Washer Assembly) holds the drum in the proper position while it spins on the support wheels. This part rotates on the roller shaft which is attached to the rear bulkhead. This part should be replaced whenever it does not rotate easily on the roller shaft. If you’re noticing a thump, scrape, or squeal while your drum is spinning, it may be your drum support rollers. Take a look at your existing drum rollers; if one or both of them are worn or broken, you’ll need to replace them. The drum support roller is subject to constant wearing when your dryer is in use, which causes them to break down over time. This part features 1 roller and 2 small washers, and measures approximately 3 inches in diameter. It is constructed with a combination of plastic, metal and rubber. This model comes in black/beige.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money
Why buy the real thing?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Simply put, this means that the company who made your appliance is also supplying the replacement part for it.
Repair Tip: Most dryers use two drum rollers; it is recommended to change both at once as they often wear at a similar rate. Check the surrounding parts before ordering this part, such as the roller shaft and front glide kit. These parts are often purchased together.

No complaints here ??
The part came on time, was as described and was a perfect replacement for my Maytag Dryer. My better half installed it quickly. The dryer went from sounding like a squealing machine on its last legs to its former perfectly quiet dryer. Thank goodness.

Easy Install
These rollers were easy to install - be sure to buy 2 sets - one for each side. The videos that come with the parts are extremely helpful. I purchased 4 other parts in addition to these rollers and the job went very smoothly. My dryer is like new.

Quite easy and works
The hardest part about the whole thing was trying to get the little clip off with a split ring pliers because every split ring pliers I tried was too large so I ended up using a screwdriver. The part works great and the squeak is gone.

very noisy, not working properly
Took it apart according to the videos, replaced about all moving parts (almost). Put it back together and still made noise. It turned out to be the blower wheel. Ordered a new blower wheel and installed it. Works great and has mostly all new parts. The website was great!!
Used PartSelect videos to first diagnose the problem which was worn drum felt seal. Then, used the same videos to replace parts, both needed and convenient to replace b/c of already have access.

Dryer started to sound like someone was beating a dog in the laundry room.
The dryer model was on a sticker inside the door which had long ago rubbed off. The most difficult part was figuring our how to dismantle the dryer.

Dryer works like new again. I love this set and will keep repairing as long as we can get parts.
The support rollers were fried, literally. I'm honestly surprised they held on. Let's just say that the "roller" part wasn't even attached to the support wheel... That bad. Because there wasn't much support there is a small tear in the metal on the back drum. The felt seal for the drum had basically been worn down to pieces. So I order tw

After the repair, no more squeaking, literally a huge difference, and because of there's plenty of support now for the drum, there isn't any clothes being torn. If it weren't for the videos and the parts, we would of spent hundreds of dollars on a new dryer. Instead we spent just over $100 and now our dryer is quiet and operating better than when we got it.
These were changed proactively while I had the dryer apart to replace the motor.
I removed the control panel and front panel, then the brace holding in the drum. Then the drum came out easily.

There are several parts that will cause the dryer to squeak, drum roller, idler pully and the drum slides. To start, remove the door and the two opposite screws.

Replace the drum rollers and reverse the process to re-assemble. Of course, the rollers weren't the problem even though they were worn out from 20 years of service. I ended up replacing the idler pully and and the idler pully support arm. If I had all of the parts prior to starting, the total time would have been about an hour. I did watch several YouTube videos before attempting the repair. That helped me understand the "how" and made it easy once I started the repair.
Did an internet search for parts for my older Maytag dryer. Landed on PartSelect and man I am glad I did! Entered my model number and boom! Complete schematics on the dryer, with part numbers. Also have diagnostic questions to point you in the right direction. Figured out what parts I needed, ordered via phone. Fantastic customer service.
... Read more PartSelect also has excellent installation videos you can watch to assist. Took me a little over an hour to open up the dryer, replace the drum rollers, drum belt, idler roller and both front and rear felt seals.

This is the dryer of a 28 year old Maytag laundry pair. I had replaced the glide kit 8-10 years before. Did them again because they were worn in half again but this time I added the 2 roller kits and the belt, really just guessing. I was surprised how full of dust and lint the inside was, especially the blower fan blades. I ordered the sc
... Read morerew because the belt idler pulley assembly was very wobbly and I hoped that was the screw anchoring it to the motor housing was the problem but it wasn't. Turns out the threaded hole in the housing was stripped, due I guess to years of vibration. It was too tight to get a tap and dye in there so I drilled the hole out and replaced the screw with a bolt and nut and lock washer. Before drilling it out I tried a few strands of wire and JB Weld, like the trick with stripped wood holes where you break off toothpicks in the hole and fill with wood glue. But that stripped out too so I drilled and used the bolt. Turned out I didn't need that $7 screw. Probably should have known comparing it to the old one which looked the same after I cleaned it. Anyway, it sounds fine again.
1)Unplug dryer, 2)remove front door assembly, 3)remove the blower tumbler front, 4)disconnect belt, 5)eased out tumbler, 6) replace parts, 7)assembled in reverse order, 8) finally test operative. Wife rewarded me with peanut butter an jelly sandwich.

When I put clothes in my dryer and turn it on, it is making a loud clunking noise like I have a pair of shoes inside. I’m also getting black marks on the clothes that I don’t think are coming from the washer. What could be the problem(s)?
Hello Dale. We can address both your problems! The thumping sound is most commonly caused by a drum roller that is failing 12001541. A failing drum roller teamed with a worn seal WP33001807 is most likely the reason your clothes are getting marked. If the seal is worn it will cause the clothes to catch on the gap where the seal is located, this could snag them and create black marks. Good luck with this repair!

From what I read on your site it sounds like I need to replace my supports. The problem is a loud squeaking noise during cycle. Does that sound right? I don’t want to buy 2 of these without knowing for sure. What else would you recommend checking at the same time? My wife wants the noise gone.
Hi Paul, thanks for getting in touch. You did find the right roller for your model, it is 12001541 and you will need two of them for this repair. We also recommend checking your felt seals to make sure they are sturdy and in place, and that your idler pulley is in a good working condition. These are all the most common reasons a dryer would be squeaky during cycle.

So my dryer started making a screeching load sound after a minute when starting.We had this dryer for a 8+years with no other issues. Hope you can help. Thank you! Rob
For model number MDE4916AYW
Hi Robert, Thank you for the question. The noise could be caused by a few things. I suggest checking for wear on the Belt,PartSelect Number PS11741110. The drum support rollers, PartSelect Number PS1570070. The drum glides, PartSelect Number PS1804752. The Drum Felt Seal, Dryer Drum Felt Seal or the Idler Pulley, PartSelect Number PS11743032. All these parts have videos on our site on how to install them. It will show how to take the appliance apart to get to them as well. Only way to know for sure is to take a look at the parts to see what one needs to be replaced. Hope this helps!

When should I replace the drum rollers, what should I be looking for? And will I need lubricant for the shaft? If so what do you recommend?
Hi Kay, great question. If your rollers are already making noise during cycle they should be replaced, if not you should be looking for flat spots as a sign of wear. Also, you will not need to lubricate the shaft, it should all fit together without it. I hope this helps.

My dryer is making a very high pitched whining noise, no all the time but is very loud squeaking when it occurs
For model number MGDE251YL0
Hi Laura, Thank you for the question.Unfortunately the noise can be caused by a few things.You may need to take the appliance apart to confirm what part is needed. First you can check the Dryer Drum Seal with Adhesive on the front of the drum., It can wear down and rub and cause the squeaking.This seal is also located on the back of the drum. You can also check the Drum Support Rollers and the shaft that holds the rollers.The drive belt can also cause the squeaking once it starts to wear or if the Idler Pulley with Bracket needs to be replaced. Hope this helps!

They told me i need it the rollers for my 3.5 cu. Ft. Compact dryer i been searching all day since morning they told me my dryer doesn’t have rollers i call someone to tell me what was wrong with it and I did what they told me do. I don't have another 55 dollars for them just to tell me what is wrong. With it can you help me out my dryer will start working for about a minute start rattling with a noise it sounds like it get heavy and turns off they told me it was the rollers the serial number it got erased so I don't know the date is 17/14
For model number MCSDRY35W
Hi Aana,
Thank you for your question. If you are hearing a rattling noise in the dryer it could be the rollers, but it could also be a loose belt causing the noise as well. You will need to inspect the parts to see which ones are causing the issue. If the dryer is setting off too soon, it may be the thermostats in the dryer. You will need to test the parts with a multimeter to see if they are working correctly. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Our dryer vibrates quite a bit - it started just after my wife washed the dog toys and bed before we brought home our new dog. Would replacing the drum support rollers likely fix this?
For model number LDG8424AAE
Hi Jay, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking the belt to make sure it did not slip off the pulley. You can also check the rollers to see if they were damaged while you are down there. You can check the felt seals on the front and back of the appliance for wear. The only way to know what the cause of the vibrating is to open up the cabinet to check the parts. Hope this helps!
