11071252012 Kenmore Dryer - Instructions

Top up, front off. Drew a picture of how the belt was positioned. Removed the belt and drum. Removed a heat plate to access the lower wheel. Replaced it and then replaced the upper right wheel. Was a little concerned the white triangular washers would break going on to the shafts but it turned out there much stronger that I thought. Cleaned out the bottom and found a lot of coins. Put it back together and now it sounds like a new dryer. Use gloves, some parts inside are very sharp.

Replaced drum support rollers but did not fix problem. Motor was fried! Replaced with used motor. NOTE. Make certain you install motor in the right position or you will find the drum sitting on motor. The guide must be in the 4 o.clock position and then placed in bottom groove for proper alignment of motor to drum. Job was amazingly easy and online instructions were super helpful.

Raised the top of the dryer and removed the front panel. Then removed the drum to gain access to the drum support rollers. Used the the flat screwdriver to remove the retaining clips holding the wheel in place. Slid the new wheels in place and popped the clip back on. Slid the drum in and put the front back on. The installation video online was extremely helpful.

The first and best thing I did was watch the instructional video. This was very helpful. I removed the lint trap and two screws, then pried the top off using a putty knife as described in the video. I I disconnected the wiring harness and the two screws holding the front panel, then removed the panel. Next, I removed the belt from the drum and removed the drum. I had a little difficulty removing the clips holding the rollers, but was able to pry them off after a few minutes. I installed the new rollers and reassembled everything. Note: I used the nut driver to push the new clips onto the roller pins. The problem was resolved and the dryer is working fine!

Took of the old roller and replaced it.

first removed 2 screws under lint screen door ,then popped up top of dryer (lid),removed 2 screws holding front cover of dryer on,removed front cover,after removing 2 wires from door switch,then took belt off of drum by releasing tensioner,removed drum to access drum rollers,removed old rollers & installed new rollers,and reassembled by reversing this procedure

part was replaced,and I still have the same problem

The part came quicker than expected. The repair was relatively simple, thanks to all the posts on this site. I was able to get to the rear rollers without having to remove the drum entirely. This helped. Overall, the repair was inexpensive and not very time consuming. Plus it gave me a chance to clean out the inside of the dryer.

I removed the 2 screws under the lint cover and popped the top of the dryer up and back. I then unplugged the safety switch wire on the upper right of the front cover. Next I removed the 2 screws holding the front panel on and popped it off while supporting the drum. I took the drum out after taking the belt off it. One of the rollers had the rubber stripped off it. This was kind of curious since I put in a full kit including belt and rollers a few months ago. I replaced the damaged roller and reassembled. I will save the second roller in case it happens again. There is no apparent damage to the drum so I have no idea why the previous roller didnt last.

Take out the two screws the hold the lint screen filter compartment in place. Remove the two top clip retaining screws, and lift the top LOOSE and turn it a bit out of the way. I didn't find it necessary to remove the top. Unclip the two wire electrical connector at the top - front, and remove the 1/4 " screws the secure the front. Lift the front up and out of the way. Slide the drum belt off the tensioner and moter pulley and slide the drum out the front. Remove and install the rollers ( and its just that quick) and while your in there. Clean up a bit ... cant hurt right? Especially on and around the motor. Reverse the procedure but rotate the drum a few turns to properly position the belt. Total E.T. is maybe 20 minutes and on a 1 - 10 scale for "degree of difficulty ". This is about a 2. Save the money and do it yourself.

Took off the out cover of the dryer unit. Removed the drum. Then replaced the roller

Removed (2) Philips screws from the lint filter at the top of the dryer. Used a standard screwdriver to pry open the top of the dryer (it hinges back toward the wall). On the inside of the front panel removed a bolt with a socket on the right and left side. Disconnected two wires from the door safety switch (Make sure to unplug the unit first). Lift up on front panel and remove it from the slide connectors at the bottom on right and left sides. Under the drum on the right side pull drive belt slack towards motor and slip off of the pulley. The drum should come out freely. Both rollers are visible remove the triangle clips and the rollers will come off. On lower roller support use needle nose pliers to remove the washer clip that holds the vertical support arm. Reverse this procedure to assemble the dryer again. There is an excellent video that is supplied online. Watch it first , it was very helpful to me.

After the Radiant Flame Sensor was installed, the problem remained. An appliance repair person then replaced both coils, and that fixed the problem.

before i describe the repair let me tell you about the shipping. I ordered the parts early Friday afternoon and recieved then Sat. morning, almost like they were E-mailed to me. A++ The repair was a simple task that anyone that could find the problem could fix. WORD
