Thank you for your video from a housewife that was going crazy with the dryer squeak. I had asked my husband to look at it but with work and the holidays coming, he just didn't have time. I decided to attempt the fix myself. With the step-by-step instructions, I was able to take the dryer apart, clean everything (which I think was half the problem), grease all the moving parts and put the dryer back together. Guess what?? It works so much better than before. One thing to note, I had originally looked at another video for a Maytag but wasn't the same brand and that video had me taking the back off so it's important to find a video that has your same brand, make and model. However, I'm not disappointed that I got the wrong video because I was able to completely clean all the parts in the back of the dryer as well as under the dryer. I'm so happy with the finished results!!! Keep the handyman fixes coming.

Dude, you’re my hero. Our dryer was squeaking so obnoxiously it was unbearable. I watched your video a couple of times and went in. I found the wheel in the back left side had no Teflon washers on the back. Fortunately there were two on the right. I took one off the right and swapped it to the left, lubed them both up and bingo! FIXED!! Thank you SO much for the information. I actually can’t believe I was able to disassemble it AND get it back together. I’m amazing!!!!!

Thank you. We just followed this video & now my dryer is fixed!! Money saved and extremely happy

Thank you. Out of the half dozen I watched yours was easily the best

Saved me from dragging it out in the middle of laundry room to find out cabinet was sealed in back - need to fix from the front! Thank you!

Thanks so much for the video! Was ready to buy new dryer, took my Maytag apart and just as you described...... Took care of the problem! Thank you!!!

Thank you for the help! Indeed our squeak was one of the barrel support wheels, I applied some lithium automotive grease and the problem was fixed. Hardest part was releasing and reinstalling the clip on the wheel (had to improvise with a couple of mini flat head screw drivers).

Thank you for the video. I came home to the wife telling me the dryer is making a noise. She already had a new dryer picked out at Lowes for $600. After watching your video, I had it fixed in less than an hour with no money spent. I Appreciate your help.

Just like the many times I used utube videos to fix things your video was helpful my dryer required to take mostly apart but if you lay it down on it's back reach all the way back with a oil can and get two wheels the 3rd wheel impossible so I drilled a very small hole in the side flipped it over on its opposite side and had a easy oil job for that wheel and I only had to take off the front cover 👌

You saved me $$. Thanks for your time to put this video together.

Worked like a charm!! I was afraid I was gonna have to replace the felt seal which is a real pain in the neck. Fortunately a little bit o'lube in the right places works wonders 🤣 Being an older guy the high pitched squeal didn't bother me so much....it was the rest of my family who were complaining! 😛

This helped. Thanks. Only I still didn’t know how to get the front panel off. It pops off clips pulling straight up from the bottom.

Thank you for the video....I will try this today.

Thanks. Ours was making the noise a lot. Opened it up. Was afraid to remove the drum, so I lubricated any pulley or wheel I could get to, missing only the one on the left. When I restarted it, it made noise but not as much. After about 10 minutes running, it almost stopped completely. Whenever it gets worse, I may do again and remove the drum too.

Oh wow, and to think was about to purchase a new dryer because mine's making this exact noise currently and I can't stand it. I'm sure my neighbors feel the same way, I always close the windows.

Zero dollars spent is the way to go 👍, thank you very much for the video!!!

For me, it has always been the drum rollers. I drilled holes in the side and put in electrical box plugs and painted them white so that when they needed to be lubricated I could do it without taking the dryer apart. I did the same for the side by the idler and motor and in the front to be able to sight the burner. I got the idea from another model they sell that comes with holes and plugs like that.

Don't stretch spring unless necessary, belt and spring tension are designed to lightly wrap around the drum where the clothes will tumble falling from the top of the drum during operation in to heat. If the belt is to tight due to stretching the spring or tightening of belt the faster spinning of the tub will cause the clothes to ride the inside of the tub during rotation and the centrifugal force will hold the clothes to drum wall taking a long drying cycle.

@johnq.public1776

6 ай бұрын

False. Tightening the belt tension spring does not cause anything to move faster. The motor spins at a set speed, tightening the belt won't magically cause the motor to turn any faster. The only harm that could possibly come from tightening belt tension would be premature belt wear, but you would really have to crank on that spring to cause any ill effect. Use your brain before making uninformed comments that are stated in a derogatory fashion to try to make yourself sound smarter than someone else. This guy posts a video trying to help people out, and here you come with your dumb bullshit.

Awesome thank you huge time savings for me. Cheers

Good fix but the root cause is a cheap design in the pulley tensioner wheel. It is a metal to plastic contact that rotates instead of a more expensive actual bearing. The lubricant helps for a while then the slight wear from use brings it back to squeaking. I never had this problem in an older dryer that lasted decades but had an actual bearing on the tensioner pulley.

Thank you for the video.

This sounds like it might be the issue for my dryer and I want to give it a try. I have a gas dryer, though, so after I unplug and turn gas valve off, are there any other parts inside as I remove the drum I might need to be aware of as far as the gas connection lines go? I have never torn a dryer apart before, but the video seems easy enough...just want to be safe about it!
