Terry March 17, 2018 for Model Number Older maytag electric dryer I'm about to replace the drum rollers due to squealing and wobble noises. The roller rides on a shaft with no bearings, would it hurt to put some graphite on this? Thanks

Debbie December 12, 2017 for Model Number LDE7600ACW My dryer is making a rumbling noise, sometimes it is worse than other times. The drum rollers look okay and do not wobble, but have never been replaced., The blower wheel was recently replaced and we have determined that the drum slide or glides need replacing because they are showing a lot of wear. Would the rumbling noise be caused by the drum glides or what else could cause the rumbling noise?
1 Answer Hello Debbie, The two drum rollers 12001541 and idler pulley WP6-3037050 should spin freely. It is possible that the blower wheel could be contacting the inside of the blower shroud or the glides 306508 can cause this sound. Read More...
Kay November 04, 2017 My Maytag dryer doesn't spin anymore, everything else works it heats up the belt is still intact. I dont know what else it would be?
1 Answer Kay, You will want to check the door switch on the unit to make sure that the door switch is good. If the door switch is good then tape the door switch off and push the start switch and try to turn the drum. If the unit starts tumbling then this will be an issue with the motor on the unit.

Silvia June 13, 2017 for Model Number Maytag LDE4914ACE My dryer is 15 yrs old but very good condition. It has started a squealing noise thinking maybe the rollers need changing. Still heats and turns fine. What all should I change on a dryer this age while it's apart for changing rollers? Also, please indicate part number for proper rollers to make sure I purchase right ones.
1 Answer Silvia, At 15 years old, and a squealing noise, we would recommend you replace the following parts: 12001541 drum support rollers (2 req.), WP6-3037050 Idler Pulley, WPY312959 Drum Belt. also needed TJ93240 Turbine oil to lubricate the new rollers and idler bearings, and WP99003172 Poly Lube, a small dab of lubricant on the front polymer drum glides. Make sure you remove all the original grease, oil and debris from the roller and idler pulley shafts, and dust off the front glides. Thanks, Read More...
Don W June 06, 2017 for Model Number LSE7806ACE Dryer is emitting a squeeking noise? On the exploded view, I doesn't appear to have the large drum drive belt. This is the stacked unit. Am I missing something? Obviously, I don't want to buy more parts than necessary. Do I need to disassemble to know before I can order? Thanks
1 Answer Don, For this issue it would most likely not be the belt causing this noise. The most likely cause would be the tumbler bearing 306508 or the roller 12001541. It would not hurt to replace both rollers and both bearings to correct the noise. Read More...
