Anthony February 04, 2021 for Model Number LDG5914AAM I would like to know what type of grease to use when replacing one of the support roller for the drum? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Anthony, no grease is used as it would only collect dust/lint, the drum rollers actually have oil-impregnated bushings that self lube as the roller turns. Read More...
Tony January 01, 2021 for Model Number model 110.68062801 How many drum rollers are in my kenmore elite electric dryer
David Mcmanus October 08, 2019 for Model Number MDG7758AWW When replacing the drum roller, does the metal bushing in center of roller protrude more to the front or rear? I suspect mine were installed wrong from the factory. My parts are due to arrive tomorrow{Wednesday} so an answer Wednesday morning would be very much appreciated. Thank you so very much.
1 Answer David, The sintered bearing is pretty much "centerred" in the drum roller, as long as you follow the instructions and or view the video attached to the part order screen, you wont have any issues. You may want to use a dry clean rag and wipe off any dust and debris in the area as well as the drum roller shaft while you have the rollers removed, then install the new drum rollers. Read More...
Bob S. May 27, 2019 I gave my 25 year old Maytag dryer to my son few months ago. I replaced the support rollers and belt before I did. The glide strips were fairly new so I didn't replace them. He called this weekend and said the tumbler fall of the rollers. I haven't gone to look at it yet but I can't really think of a cause for this. It's been a great and reliable dryer for a long, long time. Any idea what would cause the drum to move forward so far to fall off the rollers? thanks, Bob
1 Answer Bob, Drum rollers could have come loose or front support damaged. You would have to open it up to really know the cause of this. Read More...
Debibie Ash March 14, 2019 for Model Number LDE7600ACW We replaced the drum support rollers in Feb of 2018, the dryer always seemed to still make a noise, recently it started getting worse so took it apart and found one of the drum support rollers totally worn. We replaced that today and it still makes a noise, the only way I know how to describe the noise is it is sort of like when you put cardboard on your bicycle spokes and they make noise.(I hope that makes sense or you know what I am referring to). It could also be referred to as a vibrating noise, like something is sitting on the dryer and vibrating. In feb 2018 we also replaced the idler pulley wheel, in Dec 2017 the tumbler bearing kit and in July 2017 the blower wheel was replaced. What could be causing this noise? We can't seem to pinpoint it.
1 Answer Debbie Ash, it sounds like there is something caught in the blower wheel. Take the front off and access the blower wheel, see if there is something in there or if there is a lot of lint in the fins of the wheel. (Good description of the noise you are hearing, I knew exactly what you meant) Read More...
