You saved me a lot of money. My dryer was making a terrible squeaking noise. Turns out I had a stuck wheel. Cleaning and greasing the wheel shaft was all that it needed.

@Pro1er 19 күн бұрын

My dryer would squeal at start-up and would "thump" quite loudly while running. After 40 years the belt broke. I replaced only the belt, now the dryer no longer squeals or thumps. FYI, I have a Kenmore and instead of clips at the bottom of the front panel there are 5/16" screws just like at the top of the panel. Do not remove those bottom screws, only loosen them and the front panel will lift upward and off. Good video.

Excellent video with lots of details. I’ve bought a new belt, pulley, rollers, and a new felt bearing. The drum is making a noise during rotation. It’s a 2002 Whirlpool Commercial purchased new from Lowe’s. My first repair was in 2020 cleaning out the lint system and ductwork. That maintenance alone shortened the drying time by almost 20 minutes on the heat cycle. I clean the exhaust lines regularly too.

@thecuss6817 Жыл бұрын

Yesterday I fixed a squeaking in my dryer, turned out to be that the drum roller on the left side was tough to turn. So I took that drum roller off, cleaned it and its shaft, greased the roller bushing and the shaft, greased the right drum roller without removing it, put back together, and squeak is gone. I hadn't been able to find a decent video for my dryer model, but found yours today and am bookmarking it. Thanks.

Great clear video! Replaced the rollers easily, however now it ‘s making a different thumping noise. New thumping sound by more like a heartbeat. Have taken it apart again to make sure rollers are set correctly and drum is turning. Not sure what else could be making it thump now. Something must be off kilter. Did not replace the belt or felt. Would that possibly help? Thank you

Great video - thank you! We have a 2006 Kenmore, but basically same issue…was making a hellacious squealing noise. I’ve got it apart and have new belts, rollers (4 on this model) and idler roller on order. The rollers look ok on the OD and no marks or grit on drum, so I’m thinking the squealing was coming from ID (bushing) on one of the posts? There’s no rust and only minor wear marks. The amount of play between roller ID and post can’t be more than .001”. Just polish with 1000 grit and apply a little lithium grease? The idler roller is very hard to turn - that’s shot. But that shouldn’t cause squeaking, just increased belt wear, right?

Here is a way to get extra long life out of your rollers. Before installing new rollers, I suggest soaking the bearing material in oil for a day. I've done this by taping over one side of the bearing and laying it flat on that side. Then I pour oil (not wd40, but a thicker oil than wd40) into to opening and let it sit for a day. Bearings believe it or not, actually absorb oil. Before using this routine, my rollers would wear out very fast. I don't exactly remember how many months I got out of a set, but I do remember that the first set was replaced under warranty on my unit that was purchased in 2009. I know the last time I installed new rollers was in 2017 (this being January 2024). They are still working fine.

Thank you for your VERY helpful tutorial. Where is the best place to buy the kit for rollers/belts? You'd mentioned putting them down in the details, but I'm just not seeing them. I've been to amazon to see what they have available, but after reading some of the comments from buyers, about the belts not being the right size, I'm a little leery. Thoughts? Thanks.

@WasherDryerMoney 3 жыл бұрын

You can buy the belt from Lowe’s. If you feel uncertain you can also go to partsselect.com they have a search engine to use your appliance model number that you’ll find inside the door of your washer. They will show you every part that’s in that type of washer and what size the belt is. It will be in inches. Most of them are the same size. I’ll work on getting my links in the descriptions. I’ve been meaning to get to that.
