Leslie B Austin , TX March 18, 2024 Appliance: Maytag Electric Dryer MDE9606AYW Maytag Dryer Mde9606ayw: Grinding noise when running. How to replace Tumbler Bearing Kit. First I looked at the ApplicancePartsPros.com website to see if there were any questions and answers on the site. The suggestions were to replace the rollers and drum felt . It was also suggested to replace the dryer belt. Order the parts and when they arrived, I followed the websites instructions to remove the necessary parts. Following the video's I replaced all of the parts and re-assembled. However, the noise stayed. I called AppliancePartsPros.com who ased questions about the repairs that I had made, and she determined that I probably needed to replace the Tumbler Bearings. She ordered them for me and they arrived on Sunday. Monday morning, I reviewed the videos, removed the door, frame and baffle. She was so correct. There was nothing left of the Tumbler Bearings. Drilled out the old rivets, replaced the bearings. I re-assembled. The dryer is quite and running perfectly. Hopefully, it will last another 10 years.
