Noise coming from the dryer
  • Kevin from Grafton, MA
  • Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Screw drivers, Wrench (Adjustable)
After watching your video, and reviewing the directions, I was able to change the rollers, the belt and tension bar with ease. The parts cost me slightly under 50.00 and now the noise is gone and my dryer works great. I am very pleased with PARTSELECT and would use them again. The parts were at my house within three days of placing th e order !!!

Dryer not tumbling and squeaking
  • Steve from Chagrin Falls, OH
  • Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Screw drivers, Socket set
My dryer all of a sudden stopped tumbling. When I opened up the machine, it turns out that the drive belt was broken. I simply put in the model number in PartSelect.com and found this kit that came with the belt, and drum rollers. The belt fixed the tumbling issue, and after replacing the rollers, the machine is as quite as a mouse! Th e instructional video helped show me exactly what to do and expect. This was my first time fixing an appliance, and it only took me 45 minutes!

Broken Dryer Belt
  • WILLIAM from DELRAY BEACH, FL
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
Ordered entire Maintenance kit - good call because it was the tensioner pulley that failed and cut the belt. To replace, had to raise the top (2 screws in lint screen slot)and pull the entire front off (2 screws - 1/ea on top inner edge of front door panel then lift it up and out) Replaced both rollers, then used the parts kit shipping bo x to prop up the front of the drum while installing the belt and tensioner pully. Re-assembled in reverse order, works fine.

Dryer making squealing noise
  • Natale from Brooklyn, NY
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Nutdriver
Followed the directions on the web site. made a hook out of a wire hanger to hold the drum in place (hook from the back frame to the front of the drum) while I set the belt tensioner in place. removed the hook and the rest was easy.Works Great!!! like a new machine.

broken dryer belt
  • kimberly from petaluma, CA
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Screw drivers, Socket set, Wrench (Adjustable)
Everyone said changing a dryer belt was a piece of cake.They did not tell the truth it is a difficult job. I am a 52 year old female and I had a problem. You have to take the whole drum out. I finally completed the job but i had to prop the drum up with blocks so I could screw in the front panel. I think for those who want to change the b elt I would go smoother with two people so the can hold things in place while the other one screws the panels back. I also think taking the dryer door off make the front panel a lot more easier to put in palce.

Dryer became EXTREMELY noisy
  • Lawrence from Cape Coral, FL
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Screw drivers, Socket set
Kit arrived with all the parts required and with detailed instructions. LOL... the very specialized tool you will need to dis-assemble the dryer? A PUTTY KNIFE. All in all, aside from the top of the dryer slamming shut without warning and scaring the pants off me, this was a relatively easy repair from a technical level. Only real dif ficult thing was removing and then restoring the drum and that was more due to clearance than actually being difficult. Make sure once you're finished to LEVEL THE DRYER. That makes a HUGE difference!!!!!

Broken belt
  • Michael from North Bellmore, NY
  • Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
I did as your online movie said to do it. It is a big help and you can see that the belt, rollers and idler pulley is not a difficult job and you save yourself at least $100. Toughest part of job is putting back the nylon triangle things that hold the rollers on without breaking them.That is why I used the needlenos e pliers. The triangle things that hold on the rollers have little tabs on them and I just gently pulled them outward and the triangles went right on.That repair kit from Whirlpool(builder of my Kenmore dryer)was a real bargain and everything fit perfectly. Bottom line is don't be afraid to try this repair. You will most likely succede. Go out to diner with the money you saved. Good luck, Mike

Loud banging noise from under dryer.
  • Paul from Pottstown, PA
  • Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
Watched repair video first to access problems and steps to do replacement for parts. Took more than :30 only because most of the time was spent cleaning. Amazing how much dirt and dust accumlates inside a closed unit. Even took the back off to clean and check electrical connections. Parts were exactly as shown and explained. Would a bsolutely use PartSelect again if needed.

Ok, there was a couple of other parts not on the video but were not hard to deal with. I would suggest talking a photo of the assembled parts before taking parts of for a reference when reassembling.
