Jorge May 14, 2012 Does it matter how you place the drum glides? Since they have three gaps each, does the gaps have to face you or does it matter?
1 Answer Hello Jorge, The overhang of the three plastic glides go toward the main front and pointing away from the drum. If you put them facing the drum, it will grab the fabric and damage the laundry. Read More...
Phillip April 25, 2012 for Model Number fridgiare leq2152ee1 My glides wore out, and it almost seams that the front of the drum has dropped. It is snagging cloths between the drum and frame. How do I fix that?
1 Answer Hello Phillip. Based on the information you provided, you will need to replace the bearing kit 5303281153 and the front seal 134440200 on the unit. This is what has caused the drum to drop down in the unit. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Danny. First lift the top of the machine by releasing the clips from under the top corners. To install this belt you will need to remove the front assembly of the dryer. Once removed you will need to loop the new belt around the dryer drum. Here is a link to the Repair Forums page. This is a free service we offer our customers. This link has diagrams of how the belt goes around the pulleys. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/dryer-repair/25860-dryer-belt-diagrams.html Read More...
Trixy January 26, 2012 for Model Number gleq2152es0 My dryer will start for a few seconds and then I hear it click and turns off. The code says that it was the control thermistor. We replaced that and it still does the same thing. Does anything else have to be replaced with the part or reset?
1 Answer Hello Trixy. If you replaced the control thermistor 134587700 and the unit still gives the code, you may have a bad control board 134523200NH in the unit. Make sure the air is moving good out of the blower wheel and across the thermistor. Also, check the wiring harness and make sure it is good. If so, you will need to replace the control board. Hope this helps. Read More...
