Dryer Drum Front Glide

Steve for Model Number pyg2300aww

Answer Hello Steve. You need to check and see if the rollers 31001096 are causing the unit to bind up or if the felt seals are bad on the unit. Also, make sure the braces 12002126 are not bad on the unit as well and the glides 31001470 are good on the unit. 

Richard R for Model Number YE2OEA4 (Magic Chef)

Answer Richard, You should probably order this "kit" 12002126 since you're replacing both slides. First, you need to unplug the power cord or remove power to the dryer, and slide it out 4 to 6 inches. Use a putty knife or similar tool and insert it into the seam between the front panel and top and press in on the spring tabs and lift up on the top corner to release the top from the cabinet. with the top up and against the wall, look in the cabinet interior and remove the two(2) screws(one on each side) that attach the front panel to the cabinet side flange, lean the front panel out enough the disconnect the wires from the door switch, then lean it out enough the dislodge the drum from the front panel and set the front panel aside. Make a note of the belt routing and reach around the motor and release the belt from the idler pulley Pull out on the drum and turn it in a clockwise direction at the samee time, to release the drum from the rear roller assemblies, then slide the drum and belt out of the cabinet. You now have access to the drum glides. One is mounted on the top of the blower housing and the other is on the top of the drum support stantion. They are both slot and twist fittings and will not need any adhesive or rivets. Once the glides are installed you may want to apply a small "dab" of silicone lubricant to the new pads, then reverse the procedures, and test the dryer.

Answer Hello Donald! You will need to remove the front panel and the front bulk head from the dryer cabinet. Once removed, you will slide the new glides 31001470 into the slots in the bulk head. Thanks. 

Debra B. for Model Number LEP6848AW0

Answer Hello Debra. Your model does not use glides and uses rollers 349241T and bearing rings 279441. You will need to remove the drum to install these parts. Hope this helps.

Answer Hello Debra. On some models, there is no bulk head and you will see a support under the drum in the front where the glide is on the top of the support. Either way, the front panel will need to be removed. We will need your model number to help you with this. Please post your model number with a new question on the parts page. Thank you. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx
