Making a clunking and squeaking noise

Replaced the drum rollers and tensioner roller. When I dis-assembled the dryer I discovered the drum sliders were worn out and had to re-order the drum sliders. On receiving the drum sliders, I re-assembled the dryer and tested. I would suggest taking the dryer apart before ordering parts. Parts were delivered overnight, very good service and they were the right parts! Thanks.

Tension pulley worn/loose

Installed new tension pulley, and belt. However, the drum rollers were mounted differently than the ones I received because the originals are permanently mounted on the axles.So it is necessary to order both the axles and the rollers. The video was useful.

Dryer belt and blower fan broke

Used the videos in appliancepartpros.com for reference and repair went off with a hitch. Saved 50% by purchasing the parts online instead of locally as well.

Idler pulley broke

My wife called a repair guy out AND paid him $130 IN ADVANCE to repair the dryer. That was 2 months ago and the guy hasn't returned a sigle call. He did call our home once and leave a message saing that the idler pulley was "on back-order". After some research, I ordered the parts from you guys, with my wife asking me the entire time, "You're sure you can fix it, right?". I assured her it was an easy fix and that I wasn't gonna charge her anything to do it. I went ahead and replaced the belt and the rear drum rollers, in advance of any problems with them. It took about an hour to do, minus clean-up, and was pretty straightforward with no surprises. I just wish she had asked me about it BEFORE she called someone.
