Does not dry good, and after a while makes a ( buzzing, humming ) sound. Does not sound like pulley or roller making loud noise. sometime it cut off on timer ,even when running for a long time; 45min to and hour or more. does not trip breaker. runs normal for a while and then it does all of the things I mentioned.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Michael, thank you for contacting us. A clogged vent system or dirty filter is a common cause of poor drying, overheating, and dryer shutdown due to poor air flow. The humming or buzzing sound could indicate a problem with the dryer's motor, part number PS12070931. Over time, motors can wear out or develop issues that cause unusual noises. Check the drive belt, part number PS11731121, for wear or breakage, as this can also cause the drum to not spin correctly. It can also make the motor make noise, if the motor can not spin freely. We hope this information helps!

  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
Grow a second set of hands. Always unplug any appliance. Remove lint screen. remove two screws (philips Head). I took a wooden shim lightly tapped w/hammer to pop front of dryer top free. Mine worked on hinges and just flipped back til it rested against the wall. Removed two 5/16 screws inside holding face on carefully raise face section off the support clips at either side on the bottom. Pull drum out (I have the large style drum commercial size [approx.). Clean the inside free of all lint (known to be fire hazard). Sling new belt around drum. Get newly grown set of hands to hold drum in place. Pinch belt to fit between tensioner, lift tensioner and place belt around motor pulley. Spin drum couple times to make certain belt isn't twisted. Reverse dismantle proccess to put back together. Replace all parts that come with kit, you'll feel better knowing you got a new dryer, almost.
