Do-It-Yourself Story

Having replaced the rear bearing assembly several years ago, I took the dryer apart and began looking elsewhere for the problem. I discovered the idler pulley was nearly destroyed after 32 years of service. With the dryer being this old, I decided to order and replace the two front slides, and I also ordered a new drive belt to have on hand in case it needed changing (the original had already been replaced with the bearing assembly work, and this second belt was still in great shape). I replaced the pulley and the slides, and the dryer runs great and very quiet. As good as new!
