DE7200ADD1 Frigidaire Dryer - Instructions

I removed the top lid, then removed the front panel, to expose top and bottom drum glides attached to panel, then using a carpenter shisel, and cutting knive scraped away the old worn out glides, wiped clean with acetone the area were the new glides were being cemented. all of this thanks to couple of customers that had the same issues on their dryer, and documented step by step their own way to have this done, I just followed thru their experiences.

Removed top panel - disconnected harness from front panel- removed front panel- removed access door to belt tensioner on back panel - took belt off tensioner- removed drum removed upper felt with worn glide pads from front panel - removed most of old glue from panel (small file) and glued on new felt strip with glide pads - let sit to cure removed three phillips screws holding rear brg to the drum and removed brg - removed two phillips screws from rear panel holding plastic bracket, supporting bracket and back clip to the rear panel and replaced with new (use a drop of grease to hold the little ball brg in place during installation, make sure you don't loose it) install new brg to the drum (since they are self cutting screw difficult to install throught he drum, I "pre-cut" one of the threads then installed the rear brg to the drum, screw driver was of ratched type with a long extension - filled the plastic bracket with the grease - installed drum and front panel - tensioned the belt - installed top panel and access rear panel - done - I used the opprtunity to vaccum the interior of the dryer, lot of lint ----------------------------------------------------------------- there is a plastic guide on top of the heating elements which is burnt and should have been replaced but I could not find it in a catalogue. Anybody any idea? Also instructions for glide say to check the paint on the drum, what if it is damaged or gone?

Followed video instructions that were emailed by you.

First I have to say that the video on the Parts Select website was invaluable, it truly made the replacement a no brainer. The kit came with everything I need and was a great price.

Unplug the dryer, mine is a stackable so we had to remove the dry from the top of the washer. I then followed the instructions from the video. The only real difference was that my dryer is that is has dual direction tumbling, so there were 2 idler arms instead of one to move in order to un hook the belt. was pretty easy.

I only needed my husband's help a couple of times because 1. To get the dryer off of the washer. And 2. I didn’t have the reach to install the new bearing on the back of the drum.

We had the rear drum bearing replaced about three years ago. The company that serviced it was quick to take our money for the diagnosis but took over a month (and a threat to call the better business bureau) to actually make the repair. This time I decided to do it my self as I had successfully replaced the the drum drive belt two years ago. The dissassembly was challenging but the repair it's self very easy. I opted to use nuts and bolts to attach the bearing assembly rather than the supplied screws as they did not want to tighten. Reassmbly was a bit of a challenge regarding the drum drive belt but I had the entire repair done in less than an hour.

I took the front off, placed the belt quite easily.
I then had to unglue the old front drum seal and drum glide and re glue the new one, but it came with everything I needed so there was no problem.
My clothes no longer get these little brown stains they got. I suppose they were getting caught.

Its wonderful!!

repaired as described in your instructional video.The video repair part of your website is just great.Seeing it done vs tring to understand someone else describe it makes it that much easier. I will use you for all future repairs.

Followed others directions and it went very well. I could not believe how much lint was packed in the bottom of the dryer! Need to clean this area out perhaps once a year.

* Clean off top of stackable dryer and remove top lid (pops off w/ screwdriver)
* Disconnect power supply and control wiring (right side under top lid)
* Remove left and right single screws securing front face of dryer
* Pop off dryer face w/ screwdriver
* Remove existing top glide from dryer face (peels off, use screwdriver or chisel/scraper to remove residue from felt and glue)
* Test fit new top glide
* Apply adhesive (included) to dryer face rim
* Clamp with 4 or so spring clamps and allow adhesive to set up (I waited about 30 minutes).
* Clean and inspect inside of dryer while the front face is off
* Clean dryer vent assembly (attached to dryer face)
* Reassemble and test easy rotation of the drum prior to use

Took out the drum by removing rear bearing and replaced with new one. Replaced top glides at same time.

Removed front of dryer scraped old seal off ,used brake cleaner on a rag to get old glue off and roughed up seal area with sand paper ,spread glue on attached seal held in place with clothes pin overnight.

1)Unplugged unit from out let 2) Lifted top cover from base by prying up from the from the corners back is hinged 3) removed wires for door switch , removed a screw on the left and right from front. 4) pull front cover out from the top untill it clears drum then lift straight up off bottom clips. 5) scrape off old felt strip and guides 6) Sand untill all felt residue gone apply new glue to front cover wait a few minutes for glue to get tacky 7) clean out all the lint build up Checking from time to time that guide assemble is in place on front cover. 8) reinstall front cover when glue is dry.

FOLLOW THE VIDEO!! I was scared to even get into it until I watched the video. Made it easy for me and I have little to no mechanicl skill. Excellent video that made it super easy. Took me an hour as I was taking my time. Now I could probably do the same repair in 20 minutes.

Excellent!!! The parts fit perfectly, but most of all was the video that went through the repair step-by-step.

A local repairman quoted $198 for parts and another $150 for labor. Got the parts here for less that $26!!!!

The only issue (very minor) was the video called for a phillips head screwdriver to remove the front panel, and our dryer needed a squarehead driver. (If I was younger, I would have been able to see the problem).

But, I highly recommend Partselect!!!!

Pulled the dryer front off to expose the problem. Thought it had a bearing of some type. Went to the PartSelect web site and watched the repair video. The Tech explained everything needed to make the repair. Ordered the parts kit and it arrived in three days by FedEx. Followed the directions. Simple. The video was excellent and made the repair a snap. Thanks.
