Linda Z Kailua Kona , HI February 06, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Gas Dryer MGDC300XW1 Screaching noise Followed the video- opened the front of the dryer and removed the drum. It was evident that one of the wheels had worn and wasn't turning freely like the other one. The video showed how to remove the roller. Very simple process and now the dryer works just fine.

Brandon W Rochester , MN October 22, 2023 Appliance: Maytag Laundry, Electric Dryer MEDC215EW1 Worn out drum roller. I watched the video that went with the Noisy #1 kit. YouTube autoplayed a similar video, which happened to be a better match to my dryer. I took it apart, decided I had a bad drum roller and clip, but ordered the parts recommended in the kit. The $8.44 in change found in the lint mess in the front panel did not cover the parts. The actual repair took longer, chipped a nail, small bleeding cut, and bumped my pelvic bone sliding it back in. It was so silent after the repair, I thought it stopped working. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers, Screwdrivers

Kenneth H Newcastle , WY April 21, 2025 Appliance: Whirlpool Electric Dryer LER7646EQ2 Very loud screeching noises when the dryer was running Disassembled per video then discovered that the drum support wheels were worn and jammed, plus the drum front seal excessively worn, and rear fabric "gasket" mostly gone. Changed drive belt at same time, since that would be next to fail, most likely. Runs great now. The hardest part surprised me...was gluing the rear drum fabric gasket strip onto the drum.
