Steve July 28, 2015 for Model Number MDE6400AYQ I have replaced both drum support rollers and roller axles to fix a rumble and rattle when the dryer is running. However, the rumbling still exists & at times even sounds worse. I've examined the front tumbler bearings, belt, blower wheel,idler tension pulley and the tumbler felt...each is in good condition. Can the rollers be out-of-round or are there other possible culprits? I did receive a replacement roller but nothing changed.
1 Answer Hello Steve. Usually this issue is a faulty blower wheel 33001790. You need to check and see if the D shaft is stripped out of the wheel. Read More...
Heather July 08, 2015 for Model Number LSR8444LQ0 Just replace the drum support rollers about 2 weeks ago. Took the dryer back apart today because there is a rubbing squeaking sound. The rollers are shredding. The rubber is just being peeled off flake by flake on both sides. Any thought as to why?
1 Answer Hello Heather, You will need to use some rubbing alcohol on the roller shafts to remove residue from fabric softener sheets which gets rather sticky. This will cause the rollers to oppose rotation and damage the drum rollers. If the rollers are shredding, you will need to replace them again when the shafts are cleaned. Ensure the rollers will spin easily before re-assembly. Read More...
Lyn June 29, 2015 for Model Number LSG7806AAE The washer wont spin, if I empty out the wet clothes, remove most of the water and unplug the washer it will then spin. What is the problem?
1 Answer Lyn, You will want to check for a belt that may be too loose causing it to slip when trying to spin. With the tub spinning when a lighter load on it then this would be most likely. The other cause if the belt is ok would be a weak motor. Read More...
Olaf May 23, 2015 for Model Number MDE9800AYW I have a similar problem to one posted already (Mike on Feb 2, 2015). The dryer would sequel when operated, so I replaced both drum support rollers, the belt tension pulley, and the belt. After I put it back together, a different thumping noise occurred. When I had the dryer apart, I noticed that both glides where gone and only the cork remained for the drum bearing. Would this cause the thumping noise? Why would it start only after I replaced all of the other items. Thanks
1 Answer Olaf, Yes this can cause the thumping noise and you will want to make sure that the bearings are in place. It is possible that the slides could have fallen out but likely they were already worn and when removing the drum it allowed a different seating when reinstalled which caused the noise. Read More...
Mike January 31, 2015 for Model Number MDE6400AYW Replaced both dyer rollers due to squealing noise, also replaced belt pulley. Squeal is gone but now have a sound like the drum is bouncing on one of the rollers. It does this with or without cloths in dryer. Is it possible I put a roller on backward? is there a front and back to the roller? Do not recall seeing anything about a front or back. Both sides looked the same. What would be causing the drum to have a bounce sound.
1 Answer Mike, You will want to pull the drum and make sure that it is not out of round as this would be one cause for the thumping noise. Also check to make sure that you got the drum back all the way in the unit. Read More...
Johno January 30, 2015 for Model Number Maytag lde9606ace I replace the rollers and the shafts at the same time: I am still getting a squeak from the rollers, should oil be added or maybe graphite to the shafts?
1 Answer JohnO, Yes, you should apply a few drops of SBL TJ055975 lubricant or TJ93240 Turbine Oil. Apply a couple of drops to the shaft and a couple of drops in the bearing center, when you reinstall the rollers, wipe off the excess oil. You also want to remove the idler pulley WP6-3037050 clean the shaft and bearing and drop a couple of drops of oil on the shaft and bearing, as well. Read More...

Coach September 08, 2014 for Model Number mde5500ayq My dyer has had the pulley roller replaced the rollers and our squeeking noise is gone. However, Now when the machine is loaded with heavy towels the drum does not roll. It only rolls if the load is light. Do you have any suggestion?
1 Answer Coach, if the dryer didn't have this problem before you replaced the idler pulley you'll want to make sure that the belt was installed properly and has enough tension. Also check the tumbler bearings 306508. Hope this help you. Thanks. Read More...
