11084422610 Kenmore Dryer - Instructions

Took of the old roller and replaced it.

first removed 2 screws under lint screen door ,then popped up top of dryer (lid),removed 2 screws holding front cover of dryer on,removed front cover,after removing 2 wires from door switch,then took belt off of drum by releasing tensioner,removed drum to access drum rollers,removed old rollers & installed new rollers,and reassembled by reversing this procedure

The part came quicker than expected. The repair was relatively simple, thanks to all the posts on this site. I was able to get to the rear rollers without having to remove the drum entirely. This helped. Overall, the repair was inexpensive and not very time consuming. Plus it gave me a chance to clean out the inside of the dryer.

Replaced drum support rollers but did not fix problem. Motor was fried! Replaced with used motor. NOTE. Make certain you install motor in the right position or you will find the drum sitting on motor. The guide must be in the 4 o.clock position and then placed in bottom groove for proper alignment of motor to drum. Job was amazingly easy and online instructions were super helpful.

Top up, front off. Drew a picture of how the belt was positioned. Removed the belt and drum. Removed a heat plate to access the lower wheel. Replaced it and then replaced the upper right wheel. Was a little concerned the white triangular washers would break going on to the shafts but it turned out there much stronger that I thought. Cleaned out the bottom and found a lot of coins. Put it back together and now it sounds like a new dryer. Use gloves, some parts inside are very sharp.

I started trying to locate the noise. I started to remove screws in the rear plate. Removed the rear plate. Couldn't find the noise. Had to remove the top cover and operational controls. Couldn't locate the noise. I figured it was a bearing that went bad somewhere, but I coulnt find it. During the search for these drum rollers I was able to thouroughly clean out old debris and lint caught in the machine for years. Finally I located the bottom front cover, took it off, and located the problem.

At this point I went online, located the part with these guys, ordered it and got it delivered in like 2 days. Pretty quick.

I then went back and replaced the both drum rollers in like 1 hour.

Dryer works and sounds great now.

Remove screws from dryer vent. lift top up: use screw driver to pry up and release top panel its uses a simple catch. Remove wires from door switch. Lift up and remove front panel from clips on side of drier body. IMPORTANT: two people required - Drum will fall if not supported when front panel is removed. Get down in front of machine: one peron holds drum in place an you push up on belt tensioner. Release belt from drive wheel. Remove drum and set aside. Pry off support clip from front of broken support roller. Clean roller shaft (replace if broken). Place new roller on shaft. Replace support clip. Have second person hold drum in place while you re install drive belt (see above). Replace front panel. Re attach wires to door switch. push top panel down (firmly to lock). replace drier screws.
good luck

Completly gutted every part of the machine, to put in the drum support rollers. Really wasn't that difficult. But you will need 2 people. One needs to hold the drum while one replaces the drum roller.

Used repair video as guideline, I did not have their lab conditions to work in and by no means a clean machine. Also I had a two part front panel vs. single as in video, so disassembly and reassembly were OJT."on job training". Video was however very usefull in locating problem, getting correct part and accomplishing the repair. Saved $$ and machine is now working properly again. Am saving this web-site to my favorites list.

Pull out lint filter and remove the two philips head screws.....Then use a flat screwdriver to gently pry loose the top front corners of the dryer.

After safely securing the top in an upright postion.....disconnected the door switch....then remove the two 5/16 inch metal screws holding the front of the dryer on.

Once screws are removed.... gently lift the entire front of the dryer...up and off of the unit.....exposing the dryer drum assembly.

By releasing the tension on the drum belt "idler pully... you can then remove the belt from the pulley on the electric motor.....and then move the complete drum assembly straight forward and out of the machine...through the opening provided ( There is an area that has been "cut out" of the metal...especially for this procedure)

Once drum assemby is out of the way.....all that is required....to change the support rollers...is to pry off the plastic retainer "clips" ( Triangle shaped) and slide the rollers off of the shafts.

Although the original rollers had not originally been lubricated in any way , at the factory ( Possibly the reason for the premature failure)....I decided to apply a coating of lithium grease to the shafts and inside of the rollers, prior to re-assembly.

Once rollers were installed and retainer clips in place.....re-assembly was accomplished by "reverse order" of the teardown procedure.

After unit was re-assembled...it ran quieter than it ever has!

part fit perfect

Replaced it

Neither the washer or the dryer of the stacked unit would start. The website suggested that one of the causes could be the thermostat. I ordered a replacement that arrived quickly. Swapping the part only took minutes, and it started just fine.

wasnt a repair but a replace

Stuck it in, done. The really good thing was your website - the BEST I've ever used to order anything on the web, bar none. SO clear, SO organized, SO logical, SO easy to use. I just wish other companies using the internet to sell things would learn from you guys. Kudos to you and your webmaster, really outstanding.
