Stephen for Model Number Model: DLE8377NM My dryer drum runs normally and doesn't make any thumping noises, but it is difficult to manually turn the drum. I discovered this when I put the rack in to dry some shoes, and my habit is to turn the drum by hand to assure that I installed the rack correctly. This time, however, it doesn't turn easily when I push it. I am suspecting the drum rollers, but your advice would be greatly appreciated. While I have it apart I want to replace the belt since it's also 10 years old.
Answer Stephen, The rollers would be a likely cause for the unit to be difficult turning the drum by hand. You could access the rollers and check them and maybe put a little grease on the axel to see if it will roll smoother. The belt part number for your unit will be 4400EL2001F. Read More...
