What customers say

Customers say this washer went in with new drum support rollers on dryers and laundry centers when worn rollers were making noise. The repairs were for squeaking, squealing, thumping or screeching noises. A few also replaced the idler pulley in the same job. The drum felt seal was also replaced in a few repairs.

Appliance: Maytag Gas Dryer MGDC300XW1

Screaching noise

Followed the video- opened the front of the dryer and removed the drum. It was evident that one of the wheels had worn and wasn't turning freely like the other one. The video showed how to remove the roller. Very simple process and now the dryer works just fine.

Torn belt

Replaced belt and support wheel. Cleaned entire cabinet and made sure all parts were in good working order. Did more than necessary to fix belt. Dryer is approximately 50 years old and now works great again.
