How do install new cylinder drum rollers?
Guest
Answer First disconnect the power to the unit. You will need to raise the top of the dryer, and remove the screws holding the front panel in place. Unplug the door switch and remove the front panel. Next remove the front shroud holding the drum in place. Pull the drum forward, just a little, where the drum will drop down to access the rollers. Remove the clip from the roller shaft and install the new roller. Reassemble in reverse order. Hope this helps.

I purchased new rollers and brackets. Do the bushings of the wheels need lube and if so, what kind?

Answer Hello Oldgramps2. No, you do not need to apply lube to the rollers. The bearings are already impregnated with oil. Hope this helps.

Answer Pop, Check, clean and lube the drum rollers and roller shafts with dry lubricant and replace the belt 40111201.Check and make sure the motor mount bracket and motor mount clips are not bent, loose or distorted. Also check and make sure the washer is draining(less than 90 seconds) and reaching a high speed spin, also make sure the dryer is not being overloaded.
I replaced the thermal fuse and that went fine, but now that its all back together it makes a loud screeching sound when it turns. But not when I turn it by hand. Is this a belt or roller problem?

Answer Gary,
You will want to check to make sure that when you took unit apart and reassembled that the Dryer drum glides 37001298 did not fall out or break. If this is the case you will want to replace.
The drum on dryer spins slow or not at all with weight of wet clothes. Would this be a motor or belt problem?

Answer Hello John,
It sounds like one of the windings in the motor has shorted and would need to replace motor 2200376.
The drum will not turn over when started.

Answer Hello Della. If the unit hums, and does not turn over, you will need to order and replace the dryer motor 2200376 in the unit.
When I turn it on, it starts making a scraping noise. It sounds like if it were scraping the side walls of the dryer. Like if there was loose change inside as well.

Answer Hi Mary, you need to check your rear drum support rollers 37001042, the drum glides 37001298, and the drum felt seal 37001132. If you order the seal, be sure to also order the adhesive used to attach it. Hope this helps!
