Loud squealing
Taking it apart was no problem other than having to remove solidified grease in order to remove bearing. Also I found it easier to remove belt by removing screws holding drum in place first. Putting it back together was more involved. Taping metal strip to back with scotch tape made putting in new bracket a breeze. Tipping dryer on its' back was the only way I could get the screw holes to line up when installing the drum. Removing the vent cover, and installing from the back, made re-installing the belt tensioner much easier.

The lady at the help desk read my mind as to which part I needed. The knob arrived almost before I hung up the phone. It was the perfect fitting part....returned my clothes dryer to perfect working order in, oh, ten seconds! Thank you!

The timer knob broke off.
I called a few places and found one here in town that had the knob. When I went to get it, it cost so much, I thought I would go online and see if I couldn't get it cheaper. Bought one from you guys...it came the next morning by Fedex. Saved $9 buying from PartSelect, popped it on and it worked perfectly. Nothing to it. If I need anything else, I'll buy from you. Thanks!

rear bearing failure
after cutting the power, I used a putty knife to release the two holding clips ot remove the top,, 2 foward facing screws on either side of the front and two cap covered screws holding the bottom and unhooked the two electricial connections for the control panel and removed the front panel. Since this was a stack unit and in a closet most work had to be done from the front. By reaching inside to remove the belt from the motor,removing the drum was the easy part, to get to the bearing, but unfortunatly I had to remove the dryer from the closet to replace the back bearing clip and ball. After that replacing the bearing bracket and housing it was a breeze. Getting the unit back in the closet was a slight struggle, but it all worked out for the best got a chance to cleas behind the dryer, and the repaire was successful, phew.

I was getting brown rust colored marks on my clothes
First of all to all you females out there, I am one and this is easy. It was a stacked washer/dryer and the dryer is gas. I unplugged the power, didn't unhook the gas and left them stacked, not a problem. Next I pushed in the 2 clips at the top with a small screwdriver while at the same time prying up on the top with my chisel, popped the top up and unplugged the wire bundle that's attached to the front panel. A few inches down on the inside of the front panel are 2 screws, I removed those. Then I pried the front panel off - there are 4 clips 2 on each side holding the front panel on. I pulled off the felt strips leaving a bunch of "hair". I read the other repair stories saying they'd wished that they'd used stronger solvent to remove the old glue and "hair" so I used laquer thinner and it worked great. Just saturate your rag and get the old felt and glue really wet and then come back with the chisel and the felt and most of the glue comes off and not the paint. I just kept going back over it with the saturated rag and chisel and it was pretty easy. I then put the glue on the felt strips, attached them, and used a ring of bungee cords to make a clamp around them 'til they dried. Put dryer back together and it works great. Also when you've got it apart - it's a good time to vacuum out the inside of the dryer.

It was squeaking very loudly
I watched the video and the instructions were perfect. The only thing I did differently was I had a second person help me to hold the bearing spring and hold the drum knob in place. I also used the rear access panel to disengage and re-engage the belt because I know I am not good at doing things blindly. You will definitely want to pre-thread the knob assembly before you screw it to the drum. Glad the kit included a bearing because the old one was completely gone. It took me so long because I took the opportunity to vacuum 10 plus years of lint and I was using it as a teaching opportunity. If I have to replace the heating element I think it will be much faster.

Loud whinning noise when drying first started up for a few minutes, then would stop
The repair was done by my spouse. We replaced the rear drum bearing. We installed with the instructions sent by parts select. They were very accurate. The total repair took about 1 and 1/2 hours that was only because we cleaned out the entire dryer also, by using an air compressor to clean and blow out all the lint built up. This improved drying time and the part stopped the noise. I don't recall exactly what tools were used besides screwdrivers. This was our first time to replace anything in our dryer of 12 years old. I feel that if you follow the instructions that anyone would be able to do this repair. We did the repair in our garage because you need the room to work on it.

Rear drum bearing failure
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!''

Loud squeaking noise when running dryer
It was super easy! I followed the PartSelect video and everything went fine. Getting the drum out of the machine was a bit tricky but once it was out, the rear bearing kit went in without any problems.

Started with an annoying squeaking noise until the shaft broke and the drum hit the floor, KTHUD!!
I ordered the rear drum assembly on Monday evening and the part came on Wed at 11 am. I started the repair at 1 and finished at 3. It would have been faster, but my computer kept freezing during the repair video. The video was so easy to follow. I could have used longer arms or a helper, but I managed to get the job done by myself. Needless to say, my husband was thrilled. Great service. Thanks
