How To Fix A Squeaky Dryer

Robert Parker

(date 12/30/2008)

My clothes dryer (Frigidaire Crown Series Heavy Duty) started making an incredibly loud squeaky sound. From my research on the Internet, I surmised that the problem was due to a defective rear bearing assembly.

DISCLAIMER: Depending on the make and model of your dryer, these instructions may or may not be useful. This information is provided only to document what I have done. If you choose to repair your own dryer, you are doing so at your own risk.

I went to www.partstore.com and ordered a rear-bearing assembly (part number 5303281153) for $17.95!

This is the 2^nd time for me to save my dryer from the junkyard. A couple of years ago the heating element inside went bad. At that time I ordered a new heating element from www.partselect.com.

I had no trouble from ordering and getting my replacement parts from www.partstore.com and www.partselect.com. I would use these 2 again in the future.

The inside of your clothes dryer is a drum that rotates. The rear bearing assembly holds the drum up and allows it to rotate smoothly. When the rear bearing assembly goes bad, you'll definitely know it! It makes a horrendous squeaky sound and you'll start to notice metal shavings at the back of the dryer.

This short article describes how I fixed my dryer. I hope this will help somebody fix theirs as well! The Internet is great! Articles that I found on the Internet in the past gave me confidence in diagnosing the problems, finding a solution and ordering replacement parts.

	This is the back of the dryer. In the middle of this rectangular piece of metal is a little metal ball (i.e. a bearing that's a little bigger than a BB). This BB is supposed to be embedded in a little bit of grease. This BB rotates as the drum rotates. I noticed that this area of my dryer had a lot of fine metal dust. The bearing assembly has failed. When I was able to remove the bearing assembly, I noticed that the bearing was no longer a spherical ball but was flat on one side. Little by little, the metal was being scraped away. That scraping away was the source of all that horrendous squeaking!!
	First step before working on replacing the rear bearing assembly is to UNPLUG YOUR DRYER!
	As I said earlier, this is the 2^nd time for me to fix my dryer. I practically destroyed my dryer to get inside the first time. I shouldn't have. It's very easy to take it apart. There are little hidden clips that hold the top down. If you locate the clips, push on them with a flat-head screwdriver to pop them out. Here I'm popping out the left side.
	Now I'm popping out the right side.
	Now I can flip the top up and out of the way. Here I'm leaning it against the wall.
	Notice that when you close the dryer door, the door hits a switch. The purpose of this switch is to sense when the door is opened. Now that you've moved the top of the dryer out of the way, look down into the dryer and locate the wiring that connects to the switch. Unplug those connections because we are about to remove the front of the dryer. We can't remove the front of the dryer if the connections remain.
	For my dryer, in order to remove the front I have to remove a couple of screws.
	And now I'm removing the screw on the other side of the front of the dryer.
	Now I can remove the front of the dryer.
	We are going to take out the drum of the dryer. Before we can do that, we need to remove the leather belt that connected to it. To remove the belt, just lift up on it and slide it out of the way. NOTE: Before you remove the belt, notice the 'wear' marks on the drum. When you put the belt back on, position as best as you can back on these wear marks.
	Looking inside the dryer drum..... Remove these 3 screws. These screws hold the dryer drum to the rear bearing assembly.
	Now I removed the drum. NOTE: I had accidentally took this picture after I cleaned the guts out. I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW MUCH LINT THERE WAS IN THE BOTTOM OF MY DRYER! THIS IS SUCH A FIRE HAZARD! MY WIFE FAITHFULLY CLEANS THE LINT FILTER BUT OVER TIME SMALL PIECES OF LINT GETS AROUND THE FILTER AND ACCUMULATES IN THE BOTTOM OF THE DRYER. I'M GOING TO START TAKING MY DRYER APART AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR TO CLEAN THIS LINT OUT! (I NOTICED IN MY USERS MANUAL THAT THERE WAS A NOTE RECOMMENDING A SERVICE REP COME AND SERVICE THE DRYER ONCE A YEAR. NOW I KNOW WHY!!! ALL THAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO IS CLEAN OUT THE DRYER SO IT DOES NOT CATCH FIRE!!) NOTE 2: Notice the heating coil element. I have replaced this before too! It cost me $11 and some change! If your dryer ever stops getting hot this is probably defective. To replace it, follow the steps above and remove this coil and install a new one!
	This is the front of the rear drum assembly. To remove it, just lift it up. It's not screwed in to anything. It's just being held in a 'snap-fit' fashion.
	I removed the front of the rear bearing assembly. Now I can see the damage that was done. The nipple of the thing that I'm holding should be perfectly round (at least when I compare it to my replacement part.) But it has a worn flat spot on it! Metal was being scraped away from it!
	This is the rear part of the rear bearing assembly. This is what the drum (via the part that I just removed in the previous step) rotates about. I'm going to replace this as well. My replacement part kit that come in with my order includes the thing that I removed in the previous step, all of the small parts that you see in this image as well as a tube of high temperature grease.
	Take the 2 screws out to remove this assembly.
	The back side (on the back of the dryer) of the parts shown in the previous image include a little metal strip as well as a BB-like bearing. Your replacement kit should've come with these parts. Install these new parts at the back of the dryer.
	Install the parts shown in this picture. It really takes 2 people to do this! Someone has to hold the rectangular bearing bracket with the bearing in place while someone screws in these parts shown here. Apply a ton of the high-temp lubricating grease to the bearing, and in the U-shaped trough.
All done! Now reassemble everything by just following the above disassembly instructions in the reverse order!

Comment 1:

I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to detail these instructions! They have been wonderfully helpful in getting mine apart. We will be doing an extra step and also replacing the heating element as just about the time my dryer started squealing enough to be annoying, it also began to blow cold air. Now that we are into the thing I expect both replacements to be successful. Thanks again!

Comment 2:

Thanks for your great tutorial! Without it I probably would haven\'t even attempted to do the job myself. But the only thing i\'d change is to remove the three screws inside the drum BEFORE trying to remove the strap. In my case the strap was simply too tight to remove with the drum in place. With the 3 screws gone and the drum free floating, it was very easy to remove the strap.And I cannot stress how right you are about the lint and dust which accumulates in the bottom of the dryer. I used my shop-vac to give it a thorough cleaning and I intend on doing so at least once a year now that I know how easy it is to take apart. Thank-You!!

Comment 3:

Hi, thanks for posting the pics and great outline of the job. I do have one suggestion that may save others some money. When I removed the front of the rear drum assembly, mine also had a flat head on it. If you notice, at the center of the flat head is a slot for the ball bearing to ride in. I thought perhaps it was ok and came that way from the factory (otherwise the bearing slot would have been shaved away) so I cleaned out the nylon bearing support, cleaned the knuckle, ball bearing and everything else around it. I then applied some industrial high temp grease and put everything back together. It works great, no squealing and no cost. Hope this may add to the great post. Thanks again!

Comment 4:

I haven\'t taken her for her maiden voyage, but the post reassembly quick run looks good. Thanks for your the comprehensive instructions. I too was able to salvage the old bearing, as it did not show any wear, just that the actual hardware was bone dry and needed grease. So less than 5 dollars later, hopefully we have a cure!

Comment 5:

Funny how it takes a person with brains, determination and common sense to write an article that seems clear and easy to follow. Great stuff. I am about to go thru the process myself and feel much more confident

Comment 6:

Thank you so much you made a job that seemed so complex (due to the degree of squeaking) so simple to perform!

Comment 7:

Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to post such detailed instructions with pictures! Great resource to have!

Comment 8:

Thanks so much for such simple, straightforward instructions to make a simple repair and save a lot of $. Appreciate it so much. Hope I can pass it on to others and repay the favor in other ways. God bless!

Comment 9:

Thanks a bunch!!! Saved a ton of money not having to call a repair man.

Comment 10:

Thanks so much. I wish I\'d found this earlier in my efforts. I got to the last step & couldn\'t figure out how to get the rear drum assembly out of the bearing. Thanks for the advice about just lifting it out. The nightmare is over! :)

Comment 11:

By the way. I found a preventative maint kit that includes all the parts anyone would need to completely re-build one of these driers (1992-2001). Part #5304461262 will cost about $30.

Comment 12:

Thanks for the instructions and the pictures. They were a great help. The only challenge I had was reconnecting the belt to the motor. Once I figured out the tensioner it came together perfectly.

Comment 13:

Thanks for the great instructions with pics!!! If you attach the front of the bearing assembly back to the drum then drop in place the reassemble goes a bit better.

Comment 14:

Your directions helped us quiet our very annoying squeaky dryer. Thankyou!

Comment 15:

Good Stuff. Grateful for your efforts.

Comment 16:

Ditto above comments -- Now the more complex job off fixing the vent!

Comment 17:

Thank You Friend

Comment 18:

Just saved me a bunch of money! Those were perfect instruction and I agree you should attatch the assembly to the back of drum first for easy install. Thanks

Comment 19:

this was VERY helpful, thank you so much for the info and pictures, my dryer is good as new and i got it done in an hour!

Comment 20:

Thanks for doing the research and helping other. The step by step instruction was very helpful.3 cheers for you man!!!!!!

Comment 21:

Just as easy as you described! Thanks so much for posting this. I probably ended up saving a couple of hundred dollars in repair guy bills by doing it myself. For anyone looking to attempt this, I ended up buying the parts from a trusted seller (located in New York) on Ebay. Can\'t thank you enough for the tutorial. Cheers mate. Best of regards from Canada.

Comment 22:

thanks so much! You saved a Mom of 5 with a husband deployed a ton of money!!! Please post more you have a gift of making a project easy!

Comment 23:

Thank you so much. This made the job so much easier. My boyfriend thought I was crazy for taking this on myself but after finding your instructions I was actually looking forward to it. Only if you wrote all the instruction manuals that I will come across in the future. The one thing I had trouble with was on the reassembly it was hard for me to line up the holes to fasten the drum back on since I was doing it solo. I finally fastened the new part onto the drum and then put the ball joint back into the new rear bearing socket. In the end the dryer works great. No more dreaded shrieking. This saved me so much money, especially because my dryer and washer both went out within a week of each other. Fixed them both feeling pretty handy right now. This will leave me quickly since I am onto hanging a new front door. Thank you again for taking the time to put together such a detailed guide.

Comment 24:

Great instructions, and exactly on -- 1.25 hours to do the job. Note that in addition to the dust and lint at the bottom of the dryer, be sure to check behind the lint screen on the door. Once the door is removed from the body of the dryer, you can see how the lint is sucked through the conduit. You can see that conduit in the 9th picture from the top, located at the bottom right of the drum. There is an opening in the door that aligns with the opening of the conduit, which passes the lint through the body of the dryer and out the flex hose at the bat. That door opening was clogged with lint, as was the channel running from that opening back into the door all the way up to the lint screen. Don\'t forget to vacuum up there, or simply put your fingers up there and wiggle them around. This dropped out what seemed to be a pound of lint.

Comment 25:

Thanks, Robert. With your pictures and instructions and reading the comments from others we managed to fix our dryer for the cost of the grease. Well, and the urgent care co-pay for my husband\'s two stitches. The metal in dryers is very sharp. Lifting out the stuck bearing assembly proved more dangerous than expected! So be careful DIYers. :)

Comment 26:

I can\'t thank you enough Robert. The whole job took me just under an hour by myself. Well worth the $30.00 for the kit. The dryer is so quiet now. Excellent job on the walk through. Peace!!!

Comment 27:

Thanks for making a daunting task a heck of a lot easier.

Comment 28:

I just finished doing the same thing to my stack washer / dryer unit. The bearing on mine had actually cut itself apart! I found the rear drum bearing kit on eBay for $6.50 plus shipping. At that price, I bought a spare for future use.

Comment 29:

Awesome info here!!! Thank you very much. Ordered the part online, walked through your instructions and probably saved well over $200. The one piece of advice that i would add, is to insert and remove a screw through each of the 3 holes on the front rear-bearing assembly prior to attempting to reinstall the Drum, just to open up the hole better. Def takes 2 people to install the rear portion of the bearing. That BB can get away from you and be very difficult to find. Thanks again!

Comment 30:

If you don\'t have a spare set of hands, tape the braket on the back of the dryer

Comment 31:

Thanks you for the time documenting a task I would never tackle, but with your detailed instructions, I feel confident to attempt this endeavor. You \"clearly\" have a talent for writing/illustrating sound directions! Kudos!

Comment 32:

You are the man! Same model, same problem, and you\'ve already done most of the leg work for me. If you hadn\'t put up these instructions I would probably be coughing up $200-$400 to have someone else do it for me.

Comment 33:

TO whom it may concern. this is very top notch took me a total of one hour to do theses steps GOOOD LOOKIN OUt save alot o cash

Comment 34:

Thank you for spending the time to post this. Most of the time for me the hard part about fixing something new is trying to figure out how to open it up. This got me right there and problem fixed. My noise turned out to be a zipper pull stuck on the rim with the felt. With your help and no money spent we are back on line.

Comment 35:

Thank you for these clear detailed instructions. The photos really help. We had problems re-attaching the belt but everything else was just as pictured. Thanks again.

Comment 36:

Awesome advise....I am not a do it yourselfer....but I did this....Thanks for the help!

Comment 37:

Thank you so much for the instructions. I was able to fix my dryer and it works perfectly. My total cost was $25 and a few cuts on my hand!

Comment 38:

It\'s very very very kind of you to take all these pictures and explain every single thing .Thank you soooooo much .First time I heard my dryer squeaking ,I thaught it should be the belt,but now I am going to fix my dryer this way.Thank you so much again!

Comment 39:

Thanks for the step by step. I just did mine. I found the parts for cheap on ebay and went ahead and replaced the upper and lower felt while I had it apart. I used a lithium grease on the bearing and recommend screwing the post onto the back of the drum before reinserting inserting the drum. The squeal is gone, massive amounts of lint removed and fresh felt for less than $35. If only appliance repair were always so strait forward!

Comment 40:

Came across your post while having the same problem as everyone else. Your instructions were GREAT even though I have a front load dryer. I agree with others that mounting the front part of the bearing first and then inserting the drum would make the job a little easier. Also thought about the tape trick on the back of the dryer and worked wonders. $24.20 later and a vacuum full of lint, it\'s like brand new. Mega dittos to you on a post well put together!!

Comment 41:

Great directions! My dryer started howling two years ago. I greased the bearing assy. and put it back together, hoping for a week of use while waiting for my parts from e-bay. Well, the grease solved the problem for two years... until today! I already had the parts and finished the job in about an hour. Sure is nice to have silence again. Thanks for the help!

Comment 42:

Thanks to you I can now fix my own without the expense of hiring someone to do it that would be much more. I can\'t thank you enough.

Comment 44:

Am sitting here listening to a horribly squeaky drier, even as I type this. Can\'t wait to take it apart. Bless you my friend. You are what makes the Net so great!

Comment 45:

You could probably add a zerk grease fitting right next to the ball bearing if you are creative enough.

Comment 46:

Mr. Parker....I can\'t thank you enough. I am not a handy guy, but I followed your instructions and it went off without a hitch. You can\'t imagine how happy my wife and kids were when we turned it on and that awfule squeak was gone. Thank you again.

Comment 47:

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This is the best blog/repair site I\'ve ever seen. My wife is thrilled and I feel like a handy man.

Comment 48:

What a wonderful job you have done posting these step by step instructions. GOD BLESS YOU !thanks

Comment 49:

THANK YOU!!! We just fixed our dryer and save hundreds of dollars. you are an angel!

Comment 50:

Where is the model number of my Frigidaire dryer located?

Comment 52:

Do you have any pictures of how the belt wraps around the tensioner assembly? Everything went smoothly but now I cant get the drum to spin!

Comment 53:

Thanks for the writeup and pictures. The only problem I had after greasing the bearing was the noise of the drum which was a result of the felt and teflon strips being worn out. That piece was replaceable and I was good to go.

Comment 54:

Just what I was looking for. Been surfing for hours in the sears managemhylife and various other sites which provided incomplete information.

Comment 55:

Thanks.Saving good money

Comment 56:

Thanks, we took ours apart to clean (from the rear, we didn\'t find the clips for the front). Now the heating element is just hanging in there. With these instructions we can put it all back together and do some maintenance while we are at it.

Comment 57:

Thanks, worked great. I found it easier to screw the rear bearing assembly onto the drum first and then just lift the whole unit enough to let it slide down into the u-shaped and fully greased bearing support.

Comment 58:

Very good pictures (worth a thousand words!). Totally took the mystery out of disassembling drier to get to bearing. Saved me a lot of grief, money and stress. Thanks again.

Comment 59:

Great help. One major difference for me on a similar frigidaire model. Stretching belt over drum eventually results in a break, it looks like it should come off this way but does not. You must open door on bottom of back and remove spring off tensioner to take belt off.

Comment 60:

I have the same dryer with the same problem, thank you. ALSO, I just noticed that my clothes are getting stuck right above the drum, middle right in and above the door opening. I inspected it and found a plastic thing, I think it might have come off. Do you, by chance know anything about this. It\'s causing my clothes that get stuck in there to \"burn\".

Comment 61:

Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this up, very helpful (and the first search result I clicked for \"frigidaire squeaky dryer\"). My fix took a few hours, and a handful more curse words - primarily because the screws the hold the drum on were locked up hard, have teeny screw heads that no screwdriver could possibly grab, and a round head that no pliers / visegrips could grab. I ended up having to drill through the heads to kill the screws, and replace them. Other than that, the only expense was a jar of grease, and some time. Not expecting this to last forever, but if I can milk a few more months or years out of it, I\'m happy (its 19 years old at this point). Just hate when an appliance dies, and you go into panic shopping mode, vs. being able to look around and find a good deal.My main motivator was two loads of wet laundry, and the dread of having to resort to the laundromat.

Comment 62:

This was such a huge help! Your clear instructions and pictures were invaluable---THANK YOU! Only now, instead of the squeaking, we have a loud knocking sound. Any ideas or instructions for those? :)

Comment 63:

I found that you can lubricate the bb from the back side without removing any parts and the squeak stops. I did this 6 months ago. I used WD40.

Comment 64:

Thank you for taking the time to put together some very helpful instructions. This helped this first-timer get the job done on our White-Westinghouse and look like a hero to my wife, who wanted to just buy a new dryer. $66 later, the dryer is like new again. To quote Gomer Pyle I say, \"Thankee, thankee, thankee!!!

Comment 65:

My Daughter called me this morning to tell me her dryer had started squeaking. Now I know how to fix the problem. Thank you so much!

Comment 66:

I opine that to get the mortgage loans from banks you ought to have a good reason. However, one time I have got a auto loan, because I wanted to buy a car.

Comment 67:

My dryer just started doing this and I had no idea how to take it apart. Thanks so much for taking your valuable time to record this repair!

Comment 68:

Just another happy customer here... Thanks so much for taking the time to write this up and the pics helped tremendously!! I do want to echo another post and suggest some good thick rawhide gloves, everything is SHARP in there! Thanks again!!!!!

Comment 69:

Thank you! Saved money, time and our son\'s birthday party!

Comment 70:

I just made this repair to my Daughter\'s dryer. The job took about an hour. Like a poster above, I installed the bearing on the drum before installing into the cup. The only advice I can add is: I ran the sheet metal screws into and then back out of the bearing base before installing on the drum. This cut the threads in the base, making it easier to install on the base. The dryer sounds like a new one now. Thanks to all of you for the valuable advice.

Comment 71:

Thank you for the advise, my husband is going to get to work on it as soon as possible !!!

Comment 72:

Well done! Thanks so much for the great tutorial. Complete, concise, and east to follow.

Comment 73:

If your having trouble with the belt there is normally an access panel on the back of the unit that allows full access to the belt pulley and pensioner. Simply place the belt around the drum and use the access to run it according through thr pulleys!

Comment 74:

I just to be one of many with a big THANK YOU for this site. I also repacked the bearing and it was a breeze with the picture tutorial you provided! Also I coulded believe the amount of lint and dirt that accumulated through the years.

Comment 75:

it was really encouraging and helpful....thanks!

Comment 76:

Thank you so much for your help our dryer is working!!

Comment 77:

Thanks for the help. I want you to know it\'s very appreciated!

Comment 78:

Thanks you got good carma coming. Have a great day

Comment 79:

Very nice Robert. Great pics and precise instructions. Thanks for taking the time.

Comment 80:

WHY can\' the mfgs. do this!!! GREAT

Comment 81:

The best compliment I can give is the ease with which I found these instuctions. I have worried about a replacement dryer. Now I feel like I can tackle this. It was originally posted in 2008, still relevant in 2012. Thank you for taking the time to make these.

Comment 82:

Wow. This helps alot. Even though I\'m not fixing the problem, it gives me a good idea of how long it should take for the apartment maintenance men to get the job done. with great directions, I almost want to tackle it myself. Thank you very much for taking the time to demonstrate.

Comment 83:

thank you saved me 400 thanks again kbrh

Comment 84:

I have a very quiet dryer and a very happy family! We we shocked to see all the lint inside and are definetly going to do maintenance ourselves, some of the lint was actually burnt and stuck around the heating coils.

Comment 86:

Excellent instructions! Any novice with a phillips and flat head screwdriver, plus a crescent wrench can tackle this job. My only modification was to attach one of the bolts through the nylon bracket to the bracket on the back of the drier, somewhat snug. Then,I rotated the back bracket to insert the ball bearing, rotated the bracket back into position and attached the second bolt. No need for two people of duct tape! Thanks for this post!!

Comment 87:

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Comment 88:

Thanks brotha! Saved the wife from replacing me with a better model.

Comment 89:

What a life saver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment 90:

People like you are what MAKE the internet great

Comment 91:

1 hour, done!!! Thank you so much, you should run the world!!!! If only all instructions were this easy

Comment 92:

Great job. Thanks for taking the time.

Comment 93:

Thank you! Took me less than an hour and $25 with your instructions. They should include them in the packet with the parts!

Comment 94:

Thank you! You created easy to follow instructions.

Comment 95:

I took mine all apart, cleaned and greased it and put it back together and all is wonderful now. There was a ton of lint inside since it was 9 years old but now its all like brand new and working great, the squeak is gone. My bearing was pretty much OK just dry so it just needed some grease and a good cleaning, Thanks for the wonderful instructions.

Comment 96:

WAIT A SECOND! Remove the ball from the back of the drum AFTER you remove the drum! Lift the back of the drum up to disengage the ball.Then when you reassemble it, put the ball on the back of the drum BEFORE you reassemble! It clicks into place. This will be a LOT easier than trying to get three moving screws through the back of the drum while suspending the thing in the air!

Comment 97:

04/30/12 - This was my first search and what a find ! The pictures and descriptions are incredibly helpful. I would suggest taking one additional step --- I searched instruction for my particular brand ( Whirlpool). There were a few variations on top removal, etc. Your excellent directions along with the brand-specific guidelines made it easy for me ( a 63 yr old lady) to quiet the squeak very easily. If I can do it, anyone can. Thank you so much.

Comment 98:

Thank you so much, without you my wife would have gone and spend about $1600 on a new washer and dryer. Thanks again

Comment 99:

My belt broke and my dryer squeaks like crazy. It is in the cellar so I have delayed attempting to fix it. I have figured things like this out before but it could have been days! I\'m about to go out and find that part and a new belt. Thanks to you I believe I\'ll be done by lunch. This is the best instructions I have ever seen!

Comment 100:

U r tha man !!! Thanks for the post Akron ohio

Comment 101:

Thanks for this write-up. I have a GE and looked at other online articles for specifics, but yours was the most well-written to see the process as a big picture. I only greased my bearing as in a GE it is different, though it did squeak (now it doesn\'t) and I had to replaced my heater coil anyway. This article gave me a great start.Thanks very much!

Comment 102:

Wow! I sure do appreciate your help step by step! I have a completely different dryer from what was seen in your pictures. However, simply do to the ease of the steps you laid out, I too was able to purchase the parts for $23.00. DONE! Maybe an hour of work and a very quiet dryer!!!

Comment 103:

thanks a bunch. i appreciate your time and help .

Comment 104:

Bless you! This is EXACTLY what is wrong with my dryer. You described everything just like I observed. And who knew it was so easy to get inside. I\'ve taken nearly every screw ut trying to figure that out.I do have a question or two. Where do I get the high temp grease? Is that what it is called? Is there a brand name? Secondly, my dryer actually made that horrible sound and then stopped even turning, I can turn the drum by hand and hear the sound, but when we set to run it no longer moves. Could that bearing eventually stop it from spinning? When I reached around in there, there was a little shard of what looked like a ceramic point. Any idea what that is? Again thank you so much. We don\'t have the money for a new dryer right now and you are a life saver. Also, I can\'t wait to tell my girlfriends that I fixed the dryer and not my hubs! Woot! I might mention your help ;D

Comment 105:

Thank you!!!!!!! It worked and I am most grateful.

Comment 106:

hey you saved me a ton of money by showing me how to replace the bearing im very grateful thank you very much

Comment 107:

As I sit here suffering through the squeaking I sent the link to my husband. I think we will try this before we replace our dryer for sure. M teenage son that lives in teh basement next to the laundry room says thanks too!

Comment 108:

Thanks so much for this article. It was exactly on point for what we needed to fix and our dryer runs like it\'s new!

Great help, thanks for posting!!! Some people might not realize the tensioning spring for the belt is accessed from a panel on the rear. And I found it easier to attach the bearing assembly to the drum and drop the entire thing in place when putting it back together.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to list these easy to follow instructions. The pictures eliminated all the guess work. We have a basic Frigidaire electric dryer, and over the course of five years we have spent so much in repair bills that we could have bought another one, but our repairman keeps telling us to keep this dryer because it is easy and inexpensive to repair. But all those inexpensive repair bills add up. We just spent 50.00 about 10 months ago just to have him come out and grease the bearing. This time when the dryer started squeaking, we knew exactly what it was. After reading these detailed instructions, I was confident enough to attempt the job myself. I bought some white lithium grease as suggested above, and with laptop open, I followed the instructions. The only snags I had was putting the belt back on, but because I have a little experience with small engines, I was able to figure out the proper way to put back; which I did by putting the belt on the drum first as I re-attached and screwed in place, then I put the belt over the pulley system at the bottom by accessing through the back vent at the bottom. Just un-screwed and removed. Worked great. The other issue I had was aligning the drum to screw back in place. My husband to hold it up while I did this. All fixed now, and it only cost 4.00 for the grease and about an hour of my time. Thanks again. -Denise H.

My drier has the control panel on the front and I took it off but didn\'t need to. The panel had two plastic connectors on the side that can be unplugged and then it can be left in place and removed with the front.

Instructions were spot on with one exception on my machine. The leather belt was impossible to remove, so we skipped that step and tried just lubing the squeaky parts. We removed the 3 screws inside the drum, then backed it far enough away to to use an art paintbrush to apply high-temp grease [from Advance Auto] to the part that needed it.

Thanks! My husband and I tackled this project, took us longer than expected but the hi-temp grease is all it needed in 2 places. I will repeat the advice in previous comments: attach the bearing assembly to the drum while you have the drum out, then put the drum inside lined up with the bearing hole. The belt was a challenge also but with skinny forearms and willpower we got the belt lined back up, along with googling a video on how the belt pulley system works for our specific model. My husband wanted to give up many times but perserverance got the job done and the squeaking stopped! Woohoo.

The exquisite Tag Heuer authentic timepieces cost a humongous quantity of funds that kills people\'s wish to personal a single of those wrist-watches.
