Seth W Upper Arlington , OH January 23, 2016 Rubbing blocks and felt that seal the front of the drum are worn drum is sagging and staining clothes with smears of rust Replaced upper and lower felts. Painted rubbing surface on inside of drum with refrigerator enamel. Took out drum and lubed rear bearing. Replaced 2 of the 3 thermostats, and the belt just on principle. Spent a lot of time with shop-vac removing lint from drier and exhaust ducts. Runs great and is no longer cooking or staining clothes. 20 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours
