Oh my goodness you made this so easy to follow and saved me $400. My hubby said to toss out the squeaky dryer and buy a new one but I was determined to fix it. I did it! Thnx!

Always think. Determine cause of problem first. Fix or Toss later. Many times the fix is a hell of a lot cheaper than to toss.

Thank you! This helped my husband and I fix our dryer and not buy a new one. Phew!

just wanted to thank you for putting this out there. I have the same dryer, same symptoms, your video helped me fix mine flawlessly. All squeaks are gone. thank you again!

I’ve come back to this video twice in the last 2yrs. You’re the man

Excellent presentation! Thank you for taking the time to post this tutorial.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for helping me fix my dryer!!

Can’t believe how much money I’ve saved by watching your tutorial. Thank you so much!!!

You are a lifesaver!! It only took me 4 hours but I did it!!! Thank you!!

Excellent job. Very simple and clear. Thanks to your video I was able to fix the squeaking with great ease. I wish all KZread videos were as helpful as this one.

Thanks for putting this video up. Straight to the point and no BS by just cleaning them up and no ordering parts like all other videos suggest. I like it. All the dryers with rolling drum work the same way with belt and supporting wheels. I guess it will be a quick silicon graphite spray for me at the right place to see if the initial squeal stops.

@@FishHuntCookTinker Most of the time, anything mechanical requires just good lubrication, not replacing cheap parts from China. And as always, those "repairmen" always want to replace rather than to repair. As in tires, most of the time we just need to properly inflate them, but mechanics will want to replace them, plus brakes pads and steering wheels, etc. The world becomes unnecessarily expensive if we don't get our hands on. Again, thanks for the inspiration. A few shots of silicon spray and wd-40 took care of it.

This video was perfect man! Thank you!

Ours is this exact model. Everything looked good.. relatively clean and tight after making a general inspection I decided to just shoot the white pulley shaft and bearing with wd 40 and ran it a bit..then I applied some Tri Flow liquid and leveled the dryer and put it back together again. Its quiet now. I know it may need parts in the future..but this helped for now. Thank you!

I’m glad it helped you get it fixed. I replaced my rollers and ended up just putting the old ones back on. They fell apart in a week. Just keep it clean and oiled. Should last a long time!

Great video. I did everything here and checked all the moving parts, but it didn't fix the squeak. I then noticed that there was a screw in the felt that connects to the drum, and the metal drum was rubbing against the screw which was making the squeak noise! Thanks for teaching me how to do this, though 😊

Thanks great tutorial. The only thing I got confused was the tensioner since I thought it was originally supposed to stay in its place b4 re-adjusting the belt

I cleaned and lubed the rollers and tensioner (bearings) with synthetic axle grease, conditioned the belt that was still in great shape. I started it and it was very quiet until it heated up, then it sounded like an Abrams tank! I opened the blower wheel housing and found that the wheel had cracks in and around it allowing it to flex and hit the housing assembly when it heated up and rotated. I plastic welded it for now, time to buy a new wheel soon I guess. ☺️👍

Thanks Pal it really helped me

Hey man great video. I replaced the wheels and belt but it will not spin when i put at least half a laundry load. The belt snapped twice. It’ll take a couple of garments but when its at least half full it will not spin appropriately. It stalls and i can smell the belt burning. The right wheel spins but it wont rotate it just stalls.

Armana? Lol. Thanks for the video. Very Helpful.Had to figure mine out on the fly years ago. I spray mine with Superlube. (yes, that is what it is called) every couple of years, and mine sees a TON of use. Like so many appliances these days, it's a cheap-ass design. Grease, unless you use a synthetic silicone grease, doesn't last.

also lube the tensioner pulley shaft

Thanks. Wondering if it would be beneficial to put some dry lube spray (Teflon) on the drum felt.

Replaced all the parts as shown above. Strange hearing a thump thump every revolution or so. But the grinding has stopped. But the thumping is very faint, the grinding sound was a bit louder and constant. Oh well... Thanks for the video very well done!

@@FishHuntCookTinker I am thinking it could be the front seal, that it might have worn down, and it causes the drum to tilt down after it pops up again. That will be perhaps the next step. Thanks for your great video, that is ok.

The White grease is attracting the the dust & binding the wheels up...use silicone or graphite...

The most difficult part was getting the belt on without it twisting on itself and then the other part was lining up the front with the little clips at the bottom while trying to hold the drum in place.. also didn't think to see if there were clothes in the dryer before I started and as soon as the front came off I saw the it was full 😅 also found about 5 bucks in change all inside

I’m sorry I tried to get it on video. It only would make the sound with a full load of wet clothes in it. When I decided to make the video and fix it. I did not have enough dirty clothes!

The little metal holders fell off when I took the 2 door screws off. How do you replace the door and put them back on? At 13:49 you can see the clips

What part did you buy from Amazon? Mine is doing the same thing and I’m confused because so many parts came up. Thanks!

Sounds like it's Andy from FB.. could be just the accent. Either way, thank you for this vid

Can you elaborate on what's going on between 0:38-0:48? You take the two screws out of the dryer trap, "pull forward a little bit on the top of the dryer"? Is something supposed to release? Was this just you pulling the whole dryer closer for some reason? Are you supposed to unlatch or unscrew something behind the top panel?

Thats my dryer. Thanks.
