I used the internet and checked a dry fuse, and it tested ok. Checked the start switch, ok. So it had to be the motor. Sharon at the company agreed. Motor, and belt arrive very fast. ordered the belt because, if I had it apart why not change it. Internet also helped get the dryer apart. Found on u-tube a repairman cut a hole in the side to gain easy access. This dryer is not easy to work on, but this helped, and will make further repairs much easier. Using the internet, and...

The Spring Idler is an OEM replacement part for Speed Queen residential clothes dryers. It works with the dryer drum to facilitate the controlled tumbling of laundry items during the drying cycle. Proper functioning is important for efficiency and effectiveness. Causes of a bad spring idler can include material fatigue from years of repetitive use. It can also result from overloading the dryer with excessively heavy wet loads that put abnormal stress on the idler mechanism. Symptoms of a failed spring idler include:
As the mechanism responsible for facilitating optimal tumbling, this OEM Speed Queen replacement idler spring restores smooth and efficient dryer operation.
For about the last month or so the clothes (especially sheets) would just roll into a ball (like a big sausage) the wouldn't dry. Kept readjusting the clothes. I went on the internet to see what the issue could be and found lots of advise about shaking out the sheet and clothes first, using tennis balls, and using fuller or smaller loads. None of that worked. But I finally figured out that the reason they roll into a ball is because the belt around the drum is slipping or stretched. This... Read more
The Blower Wheel is an OEM part for Frigidaire clothes dryers. This component works to propel hot air through clothes during drying cycles. Causes of a bad blower wheel involve wear from years of operation, such as bearing deterioration or plastic fan blade cracking/warping. Foreign object damage or improper cleaning techniques pose other risk factors. Symptoms of a bad blower wheel include:
This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.
The blower wheel center was worn down and spinning freely on shaft. Removing front covers, controls and brackets gave access to blower, which front half came off removing screws. (One screw underneath bracket) Pushed new blower on. (It's keyed and has small tabs that line up with groove on shaft). Installed clamp, reassembled and tested. Don't forget to pull the plug out before working on any appliance. Read more
Replace your dryer drum belt when clothes stop tumbling or you hear squealing. This 79-1/8" belt wraps around the drum and motor to rotate clothes evenly.
I used the web site to figure out the most likely causes for the drum not turning. I watched the web site's videos to see what I would have to do and thought it wasn't too bad; something a rookie could do. Ordered the parts (belt and idler arm) and followed the directions from the videos. Mostly a bunch of screws/bolts to remove with a couple in difficult places. (my dryer isn't full sized) There were some electrical connections to take apart. As i disassembled it, I took pictures of where... Read more
This drive belt transfers motor power to your washer dryer combo's pulley system. Replace when you notice squealing, slipping, or burning odors.
Replaced transmission and support assembly. Hub nut corrode on support, spanner wrench would not loosen. Had to use 1 11/16 deep socket and impact wrench to remove, basket would not com off support even after cleaning out and soaking with penetrant and using automotive air hammer to push out. I had to cut support plate in half with die grinder, cut bearing from shaft and punch out agitator shaft then use die grinder with carbide burr to cut basket shaft in two before basket would come off...

Enables smooth drum rotation in your washer. Replace if you hear loud roaring or whirling noises during spin cycle. Confirm fit with your model number.
I replaced the spin bearing, tub seal, washer and drive belt since I had it all apart. The video was extremely helpful...I would have tore the whole thing apart trying to figure out how the agitator came off....but it was very simple. Read more
Fix grinding noises or a drum that won't spin with this washer motor rotor assembly. Common when spline teeth strip. Moderately difficult repair.
I looked on the internet for similar descriptions for similar models and found many angry reports. Most said that the rotor assembly was bad as the nut that held the rotor and other parts together had loosened and allowed slippage between steel and plastic splines. Yes, I know that sounds like trouble, but apparently not to LG when they designed it. Most buyers complained that the part was covered by warrantee but not the labor and labor had been quoted as $400 to $600 dollars. Time to buy... Read more
The Hinge Pin is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It serves as a pivot point for the washer door, allowing it to open and close smoothly. This component is crucial for maintaining the proper alignment and function of the washer door, ensuring a secure and reliable seal during operation.
Common causes of a bad hinge pin include frequent use leading to wear and tear, physical damage from accidental impacts, or rust and corrosion over time. A compromised hinge pin can result in misalignment of the door, affecting the washing machine's ability to close properly and maintain an effective seal.
Symptoms of a bad hinge pin include:
This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.
I opted to save myself about $600 by repairing my 8 year old LG washing machine rather than buying a new one. After watching some videos I determined what I needed upon taking my washing machine apart. I ended up replacing the tub (includes spider and shaft), since I could not get the spider part removed from the original tub, as well as the motor bolt (which had broken when I removed it from the original tub's shaft). The spider was cracked and the shaft was wobbling which caused it to... Read more
Replaces worn dryer front bearing and seal that cause squealing or scraping noise. Essential for smooth drum rotation. Confirm fit with your model.
After having replaced the drum support rollers twice in a roughly 3yr period, I realized something wasn't quite right, and indeed it wasn't. I had been ordering the wrong parts - I did use the online parts locator after checking, & double checking my model number. Apparently my older Whirlpool dryer has a somewhat ambiguous model number because the rollers that were shipped each time looked nothing like the originals. I realize that is not particularily uncommon - manufacturers often modify... Read more

Dryer won't start or heat? A blown thermal fuse cuts all power to protect against overheating. Easy 30-minute DIY fix with multimeter testing.
Through 15 years of vibration, the Cycling Thermostat evidently had degraded to the point where one electrical connection or more came loose and caused a short. There is also a possibility that the Bakelite section of the Dryer Cycling Thermostat body separated from the metal base, simultaneously exposing all four connections to a short. The thermostat literally exploded into chunks and dust. There was a heavy arcing and then, thankfully, the thermal fuse blew and shut down power to the short... Read more
The Blower Wheel is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. It has a role in the air circulation within the dryer, aiding in the even and efficient drying of clothes. The blower wheel, connected to the motor, helps in expelling the moist air out of the dryer through the exhaust vent during the drying cycle. Causes of a malfunctioning blower wheel are typically wear and tear from regular use, the accumulation of lint or debris, or damage to the wheel’s fins or central hub, which can impact its rotation and air circulation capability. Symptoms of a bad Blower Wheel include:
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
New wheel didn't look different than the other wheel, but we put it on, it works and we're very happy. Read more
The bearing mechanism located at the top of the dryer drum that supports the drum's rotation and reduces friction during operation. Replace when you hear grinding or squealing noises, the drum wobbles, or clothes don't tumble properly.
Initially I replaced the rear drum bearing assembly. I searched all over for a good how-to video and came across the Appliance Pros tutorial on YouTube. It was by far the easiest to understand with the added bonus that AP had the parts I needed. I had never done this before, but using the video as my guide I was able to replace the rear bearing assembly in about an hour and a half. It would've taken a little less time if I hadn't had to run to the hardware store for a T25 bit. I also could... Read more
