I'm a stay at home mom with little background in appliances, whose husband has physical disabilities, so this helped so much in teaching me to fix my noisy dryer. It runs like a dream now. Thank you!

Same here with an electric version. I just went to my local parts shop and gave them the model number and received a repair kit. I too struggled a bit to get the triangle clips on but managed. Also installing the new belt was a little difficult as it tended to flip so a second pair of hands with that would of helped.

The belt is definitely the hardest part of this whole rebuild.
Really good step by step and great explanations of what you are looking for as you go and even how to put it all back together!! (Many how to videos just tell you to "put it back together!") Appreciate the details that you present from start to finish! 😃 Giving it a shot!!

Thanks for this video, I found it really helpful. Step by step was on target. Good tip to use a magnetic drill to unscrew and screw in the screws. You don't want to lose those (especially when putting the dryer back together!!). The thing I (and most people from what I can tell) found to be the biggest struggle was putting the front panel back on. I recommend getting someone else to hold up the drum then attach one side then the other. Thanks again!

Very good video. Just a couple tips. WD 40 on a cloth does great job cleaning shafts .the shafts can accumulate a sheen of burnt rubber from wheels. Great point you made to vacuum out unit and while you’re at it clean or replace dryer vent. #1 cause house fire. Last is take the time to be sure belt not twisted and channel side it flat on from and drive pulley. A twist in belt doesn’t always self correct and belt can get stuck slipping on the drive wheel. Great video

I found out what the tiny tabs are on all 3 sides of the triangular plastic clips. Once you get 2 sides on, using needle-nose pliers makes it easier, you grab the tiny plastic tab on the 3rd side and gently pull up, it then goes right on. I also thought about putting masking tape around the first groove in the pins. That way the clip should slip right over it with ease. Thanks for making the video !

Be sure to use gloves or use caution when taking apart as edges of panels are super sharp. *Speaking from experience 😂 Great video though definitely helps a lot of people!

You don't always have to replace the rollers. I just vacuumed out the inside of the dryer, removed and cleaned the rollers, added some graphite powder, and reinstalled and dryer is very quiet again.

You can but don’t have to unless you need to work in the valve in the dryer or pull it out further than the gas hose allows
