Do-It-Yourself Story

Replaced the belt a second time and this time replaced the bearings on the drum. Also, I felt the belt tension was too loose so I added an additional spring to the belt tensioner. The repair kit was missing a part, an "O" ring to hold the rear bearing to the pin. I purchased an "O" ring at my local hardware store. Also, a nut was provided in the kit to secure a spring piece to the rear bearing. The wrong type of nut was provided in the kit and I reused a part I removed from the original assembly. Last, the part for the rear bearing assembly was missing a slot that was on the original piece, so the clearance was off on the spring piece. This does not seem to be affecting operation. So far the dryer is up and running fine.
