DE250EDD5 Frigidaire Dryer - Instructions

I followed the instructions in a Youtube video that an individual made with his kids. The only hard part was removing the drum assembly, the rear drum bearing was very difficult to unseat. I had to reattach the front of the dryer to give the drum assembly more support to be able to lift the rear - but overall it was quite easy to figure out disassembly and reassembly of the dryer. There's really not that much to them.

The repair went very well.The biggest problem was the spring on the tension roller when putting back together.But it just takes a little bit of patients and it was fine.Works great now.

followed vidio instruction which made it easy

purchased bearing kit

Follow instructions all most to the letter. In video it was stated to get an assistant to hold static / housing retainer in place to start screws. I put it in place and, used Duck Tape to hold it there while i started screws. Thanks for the deal on parts and, video. I would also suggest advising to check the nylon strips on felt at the front top. Mine were worn. But there was enough at the back of nylon to remove and, glue remainder in place almost as good as new. Again! ''THANKS!''

This repair is easy, but somewhat time consuming.The machine is about 30 years old and needed attention beyond replacing the purchased parts. Initially, the rubbing and thumping sound was intermittent. It got progressively louder and more steady, as time passed, until I finally opened it up to see what was happening. The tub was hitting the blower housing. The rear bearing had become so worn that the tub had dropped low enough to come in contact with the housing. While I had the unit apart, I decided to replace the heating element because it was original equipment and I thought it may have lost some of its efficiency. I ordered the parts on Sunday evening. They arrived the following Tuesday at around noon...a mere 18 hours after I placed the order. All the parts I have ever ordered from Partselect.com, and there are quite a few, have come that quickly. Removing the bearing from the drum was the most difficult part. I had to grab the mounting screws from outside the tub with vise grips to crack them loose. The rest of the bearing assembly was very easy, as was the heating coil. The front of the tub rides around a protrusion on the front panel. On that protrusion, there are three plastic "shoes" that the tub rides on. One of them had fallen off. I purchased a high temp glue suitable for use with plastic and metal, glued and clamped the part back in place. Also, some of the felt seal around the door had come loose and I used the same glue to stick that back in place. Vacuumed thoroughly, reassembled the tub, belt (look for the "this side up" stamp on the belt)and front panel. It now works like a new machine and I figure I saved about $350 if comparing this fix to buying a new machine.

removed top-removed front-removed belt-removed drum (I didn't know how the drum came out WITH the bearing so I unscrewed the 3 middle screws on the back of the drum which released it from the bearing)- removed the bearing-that was when I knew what to order. installed the bearing on the drum before assembling all in reverse order. I wasn't sure how much grease to use so I used about 1/3 of it.

Followed video that was provided!! Now I know how to get the top and front of dryer OPEN. Now I can clean interior of dryer ALSO, lots of lent!!

I followed the directions sent by you step for step and the rpair was done in no time at all. Had a little trouble with the roller ball installation but figured out how to install it after a couple of tries. Repair was done with minimal use of standard houshold tools.

It was easy, I handed the part to my husband and he did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I viewed the video from your site (Parts Select's) and followed those directions... which took the guess work out of the job and made it simple. Also the video alerted me to small ball bearing in the back which might have caused some head scratching if not for viewing the video. While everything was apart I did spend extra time cleaning. Many THANKS to Parts Select and the courteous parts person that I spoke with and placed my order with.

took front panel off, removed access panel in rear to disconnect the belt from motor. removed top panel (this is a stack unit) take plastic rivets loose from lint trap, remove lint trap tube, pull drum out after slightly pulling up to dislodge drum from bearing cradle, Remove bracket and bearing from back of unit, clean parts of old grease (be carefull not to loose small ball bearing on back) Reassemble parts using moderate amount of new grease, put parts back together in reverse order.

After figuring out how to remove the top, front, and control panel from the Gallery series, which is different than the dryer in the video, the repair was easy. Just followed the rest of the proceedure in the video.

I watched the repair video on how to replace the rear bearing and ordered the parts.The video was 100% correct and showed the repair step by step I didnt even need to replay it.The repair went as expected and no left oover parts. My dryer runs smooth and quiet, My wife loves her quiet dryer.

This is a front load dryer. First unbolt top cover of dryer. Then unbolt screws and connections to control panel. Next unbolt all screws holding dryer door and front bottom panel. Next take belt off of drum and slide out drum from the front. From inside of drum remove 3 screws and remove bearing then put new bearing on and bolt up the same way you take old one off. Using an 8mm socket or wrench remove plastic bearing cage located at rear of dryer. When unbolting there is a retaining clip and small steel ball to be removed from back of dryer. Replace this the same way you take it off. He sure to grease the bearing cage then replace everything back from putting the drum in first to your last step bolting on top cover of dryer. Hope this helps anyone doing this repair.
