Angiehope December 05, 2011 for Model Number MDE308DAYW DRYER- ELE My dryer is making a VERY loud squeaking sound. What can it be and what do I need to fix it?
1 Answer Angiehope, A high pitched squealing/squeaking noise is usually due to a dry, worn drum roller bearing WP37001042 or an idler pulley, if it has a brass insert WP37001287 and you want to consider a new belt. You'll need to raise the top, remove the front panel and front bulkhead, and remove the drum to access these components. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...

Jeff October 04, 2011 for Model Number Amana LGA60AW I have a failed cylinder drum roller that's over the flame tube. I also have a service manual for this unit. Why don't you sell a package to replace both rollers, front and back felt and maybe even the belt and idler wear items?
1 Answer Hello Jeff. The manufacture only makes a few different kits. Unfortunately, this model is not one of them. If you need more than the roller WP37001042, you will need to order it separately. Hope this helps. Read More...

Oldgramps2 April 25, 2011 for Model Number Amana Dryer I purchased new rollers and brackets. Do the bushings of the wheels need lube and if so, what kind?
1 Answer Hello Oldgramps2. No, you do not need to apply lube to the rollers. The bearings are already impregnated with oil. Hope this helps. Read More...
1 Answer First disconnect the power to the unit. You will need to raise the top of the dryer, and remove the screws holding the front panel in place. Unplug the door switch and remove the front panel. Next remove the front shroud holding the drum in place. Pull the drum forward, just a little, where the drum will drop down to access the rollers. Remove the clip from the roller shaft and install the new roller. Reassemble in reverse order. Hope this helps. Read More...
