Drum rubbing metal to metal on front support
1. Unplugged dryer, removed front (2 phillips screws near bottom) set aside with wires attached 2. Removed front support (4 hex head screws) 3. Drilled out pop-rivets, discarded old glides (why didn't Maytag use rollers?) 4. Riveted new glides in place. 5. (Oops!) trimmed cork pads, smeared with glue, shoved under glides, held down until firm 6. Removed drum (pushed belt back to groove, pulled drum off rollers, lifted belt off drum, worked drum out) Left belt on pulley and tension wheel as pattern when I replace it. 7. Scraped old gasket felt off back chassis and front support 8a. Folded gasket lengthwise and glued into front support channel with fold on outside diameter. It was too short. 8b. (Oops! Why didn't this come with instructions?) Pulled it out, reversed it and replaced it with fold to inside diameter. It fit. Glued ends together. 9. Glued other felt gasket into back chassis. (Good ventilation needed here!) 10. Replaced rollers. (This did have instructions, despite being easy. I didn't use any grease. Experience as a locksmith says don't lube anything that isn't sealed from dust. I also vacuumed out 15 years of dust.) 11. Replaced belt. (The old one looked fine, but I was advised to do the belt and rollers along with the glides.) The grooves touch the drive pulley, the flat goes around the tensioner, and the belt exiting to the left seems like it will rub the pulley, but it doesn't once the drum is installed. 12. Turn the drum around (Nice, it's symmetrical!) and work it back in. 13. Lift the belt around the drum edge (I used bull clips to hold it in place.) 14. Check the belt on the pulleys, move the drum in more, take off clips, move the belt to the groove. 15. put the drum on the rollers, lift the belt out of the groove, and spin the drum a little while watching the pulleys to check it. 16. Screw the front support back in place. 17. Screwed the front on and plugged it in. It works!
scraping sounds from drum; dirt marks and ripps on clothes.
Removed top screws and the front cover. Removed lint filter harness/air vent assembly (two screws inside dryer tumbler, 6-7 screws along vent assembly). Removed front dryer tumbler sealer panel (2 screws on each side). Scraped off old felt sealer with screwdriver. Drilled out remnants of old rivets. Replaced gliders with cork underneath. Riveted gliders into position. Used mighty putty to fill the cut metal around the top of the sealer panel (resulting from the dryer tumbler rubbing without proper gliders). Glued new felt sealer around tumbler sealer panel. Reassembled the entire unit in reverse order.
Reviewed U Tube video instructions carefully,it was the best in the world.Told what tools needed to complete repairs and exactly how to go about making repairs.Only thing tumbler seal glue not clipped as shown in video. As it turned out tumbler seal not long enough to install in one piece needed use another seal.

Do you sell or can you tell me which glue to use to attach the felt seal ( #ps11741149) to the dryer?
For model number DG712
Hello Roger, thank you for your question. The adhesive if PS11757492. Good luck with your repair.
My old Maytag has two different rollers for the back drum support 1 has sealed bearings. 2 has a roller that has no bearing at all. I don’t see why there are two different styles. Both of my metal rollers have begun to rust and show imperfections. One of my rollers has no metal attached to the plastic roller. Should i just replace both with sealed bearings?
For model number LDE512

Yes it is best to repair both roller bearings, there is a drum support roller kit #PS1570070 available
