How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6009128 / WP40113601 Drum Roller Axle

Replaced drum support rollers, dryer belt, and dryer belt tension pulley. I set up an iPad in the washer and followed the awesome step by step videos supplied by APP. 

Put on new rollers and belt and roller shaft. 

Replaced drum support roller 

With the help of Appliance Parts Pros available Help info,and videos I was able to determine the problem And the solution. For $144.00 in parts I just saved a HUGE amount of money for a service call,AND saved my dryer. And Maytag didn't even carry the parts any more! Thanks Appliance Parts Pros!!! You're AWESOME!!! 

Replaced the drum support rollers, which had separated. The rubber should not move on the center wheel, and the old ones did, which caused the slipping and noise. Since the drum glides and roller axle were worn and etched, we replaced those, too. Now with a thorough cleaning and these new parts, the dryer is quiet as new! Shorter dry time, too - which was a surprise since the time needed for a normal load had lengthened, but gradually, so I hadn't noticed how bad it was - it's great now! We replaced the belt a while back, so that wasn't needed, but I'd recommend anyone taking the machine apart to this extent, go ahead and replace that, too.

I found the video in YouTube from Appliance Parts Pros was named: Electric Dryer Making Loud Noise - TOP 6 Reasons & Fixes - All dryers dated 20 Sep 2019. I took apart, cleaned, identified the faulty parts and followed the video instructions on how to order the parts for my specific model. The parts arrived after 4 days and the repair turned out to be a complete success. What took the longest was the cleaning. 

I ordered 2 roller wheels, 2 roller axles and a belt. I thought I would change the belt since I had to pull the drum. 

I replaced the drum rollers, drum roller axles, and the belt. It works great now! 

I replaced both rollers and their respective axles. An easy repair, but no indications in the packaging to either lubricate or grease the axles. I applied some high-temperature grease to each axle. Biggest hurdle was opening the dryer, as each manufacturer does it differently.
