I replaced the ball and socket connection for the drum. After doing so, I realized that the belt had been stretched and the tension pulley was not putting enough tension on the belt to turn the drum.

I replaced the belt, belt tension pulley, both dryer drum roller axles and both drum support rollers. Although I bought 2 tumbler bearing kits, because those still look good I am saving them for when they go bad. The videos were fantastic!

With the exception of the drum... Read more

I've never attempted to repair an appliance myself before, but I seen it was really bothering my wife because it was a Sunday with a holiday on Monday. So I pulled the dryer out and looked at the back and seen it was only six screws to take the top off the back. Then it was only two wires attached to the starter button. I called local appliance stores and they quoted me $50. service calls, $49 dollar part,and about three days before they could come. I went to the PC and typed in Dryer start... Read more
