S January 05, 2014 for Model Number LG5796XPWO Is it worth fixing a gas dryer that is at least 20 years old? I am certain it needs rear drum support rollers replaced.
1 Answer Hello! The rear drum rollers are part number 349241T. I would suggest viewing the parts cost and factor in replacement and repair history of your current dryer vs the cost of new dryers to determine if you believe it would be best to repair and/or replace your appliance. Thanks. Read More...
Curt W January 03, 2014 for Model Number 11096573220 Dryer was squealing. The rear support rollers and idler pulley spin freely, though one roller has just a little bit of friction. Could that be the problem or is it likely something else?
1 Answer Hello Curt. Yes, it could be the roller, felt seals or idler pulley causing the issue with the unit. You will want to check all three parts on the unit. Read More...
Frank November 07, 2013 for Model Number mde2706ayw I have replaced drum rollers and drum glides and felt. Still makes screech when first starting and in cool down. Belt looks good, no fraying. I assume all that is left is idler pulley and drum support shafts? What would you start with? And do you sell kit with everything in it?
1 Answer Hello Frank, I would replace the drum rollers and the idler pulley since the life of each is comparable. This would prevent having to tear the unit down again to replace them later. The way to figure out which is giving the most trouble right now is to remove the drum and spin the wheels by hand. The failing one will oppose rotation. Read More...
Maurice October 24, 2013 for Model Number LER5636JQO (0) There are 2 rollers in the clothes dryer. I need to know if the price of $18.49 is for each roller or is it sold by the pair?
1 Answer Maurice, The rear drum support roller kit 349241T comes with 2 rollers for the unit as you want to replace both rollers at the same time. Read More...
Pob September 26, 2013 Hi, I'm replacing the drum support rollers on my Whirlpool Dryer. The number on the wheel is 3401846, is this 349241T kit the right one?
Fxworth76 August 19, 2013 for Model Number whirlpool lg5751xfwo am replacing rear drum rollers. have noticed that the original rollers were lubricated, with bearings? I note that the replacement rollers do not appear to be the exposed, lubricated kind? should i lubricate with the auto type white grease or leave alone. Also for what its worth, the left roller was binding, but there was no evidence of scaring. of any kind on the shaft. Are the left and right shafts the same diameter?
1 Answer Hello Fxworth76, I was taught to never lubricate anything inside a dryer because lint would stick to the lubrication and cause the bearing to fail faster than if it were never lubricated. The bearings are impregnated with a dry lubricant that lubricates the bearing as it wears. Of course if there is any residue on the roller shafts you should clean them with rubbing alcohol. The residue is normally from the softener sheets and will cause binding of the bearings when heated up. Read More...
Sheila July 06, 2013 for Model Number whirlpool model ler4634EQ0 Dryer was squeaking and stopped working. I changed belt, pulley and now start switch. Dryer hums loudly but will not start. Smells burnt rubber after few seconds,,,,any suggestion? Easy fix? I already purchased and changed 3 parts....is it worth it?...thank you!
1 Answer Hello Sheila. You need to check and see if the drum is locked up. If it is, find out what part has it locked up. If it turns freely, replace the motor on the unit. Read More...
Rob May 31, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool LGQ8857HQ1 Dryer seems to work ok when empty (after I took it apart twice to check on squealing noises), but when full load is added it may stop working. I noticed that one of the rear drum rollers (right side), can move forward and back, unlike on the left side, which is pretty much fixed in place. Both spin ok and don't look worn. Is the forward and back normal or could this be my problem? Maybe clip is not on properly?
1 Answer Hello Rob. No, if the rollers turn freely and the drum will turn empty, then the motor is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
John March 02, 2013 for Model Number LS7806 stackable washer dryer Dryer is extremely squeaky and I think it must be the drum rollers. I'm just seeing which one's you guys sell that would work for this model.
1 Answer Hello John, The drum rollers for this unit is 12001541. I had to assume the model number was LSE7806 and looked up all associated models since the suffix wasn't included, (LSE7806ACE, LSE7806ADE, LSE7806BCE, LSE7806GGE, etc.). You should also check the idler pulley WP6-3037050 since it can cause a squeaking sound as you are describing. Read More...
Steve February 06, 2013 I have a aeries 110 kenmore dryer that is about 22 years old. Just yesterday it started making a loud thumping sound. It sounds like there are tennis shoes drying but are not. It also seems a little louder with a lighter load of clothes than a heavier load? Any ideas??
1 Answer Hello Steve. Based on the information you provided, you will need to order and replace the rollers and the roller shafts on the unit. Read More...
