41798989100 Kenmore Dryer - Instructions

Had to remove the front of the dryer but installation was quick and easy. An affordable and quick repair.

The first part was the most difficult-opening the front of the dryer cabinet! Once open, the new belt was installed and then the new idler pulley was put in-place. The cabinet was closed-job done.

We had the rear drum bearing replaced about three years ago. The company that serviced it was quick to take our money for the diagnosis but took over a month (and a threat to call the better business bureau) to actually make the repair. This time I decided to do it my self as I had successfully replaced the the drum drive belt two years ago. The dissassembly was challenging but the repair it's self very easy. I opted to use nuts and bolts to attach the bearing assembly rather than the supplied screws as they did not want to tighten. Reassmbly was a bit of a challenge regarding the drum drive belt but I had the entire repair done in less than an hour.

I love technology. First thing I did was google on "U-tube", "How to repair a squeaking dryer". Several videos out there so I just found the one I needed and watched. The repair itself went easy. A word of advice would be to be careful of sharp edges and to remember to unplug the machine prior to repair. While the drum is out, go ahead and get your shop vac and clean the inside of the unit out. Also, not only put grease on the new plastic holder, but put some on the shaft of the idler puller. I also used an awl to line up the holes on the front panel when re-installing the screws. One video I watched showed reaching in through the front to take the drum belt off the pulley, where another showed removing the inspection plate on the back. This made it much easier.

Easy, lint trap in front, unscrewed the old base, threw out the old lint screen which was hanging by a thread, and put the new (and - KEY WORD - cheaper) part in. All by Myswlf!

Thanks.

Unplugged the electricity, turned off the gas, then pop open the top of the dryer. Removed the two screws and pulled the front of the dryer off. Removed the two screws that locked down the two m series ignition coils. Put it back together and all things worked great.

2 screws (Philips) old one out, new one in, real easy..

All I had to do was take out two screws that held the lint screen frame into the dryer, vacuum the opening to get the lint out that had accumulated, place the new frame in the opening, tighten the two screws that hold it in place, insert the lint screen and it was done.

Pulled out old screen (exactly like what you do to empty it), put in new one....

Perfect match for part we needed. Popped out old, popped in new. Works like a charm :)

Changed the old one for the new, But the best part was the fast service getting the part. I couldn't believe that I ordered it and three days later it was delivered. Good Job!!!! I will recommend you to everyone.

It was extrememly easy, just pulled out the old screen and dropped in the new one. I didn't use the frame.

I tested continuity on parts like burner (ok) then on solenoids (not ok) timer (ok) I visited several websites and found the AppliancePartsPros.com site with FREE repair forum and found valuable advice. Then ordered my parts at Parts Select and were delivered 3 later at my front door.
Now a days you almost can forget to work on all the electronics in a wasmachine and dryer, unless you're a electronic guru.
THks.

Replaced new Lint Screen. Changed Frame with two phillips screws. Total time spent: 3 minutes. Two day delivery!

I did not think anyone would even carry the lint screen and frame for our OLD dryer. The price was reasonable and shipping was fast.
