SG1000T Maytag Dryer - Instructions

The replacement dryer drum wheel was easy to find on Parts Select website. Easier than the replacement of the part! After finished everything was quiet again and running great now. I would definitely use this site again in the future.

I went online and found a video that showed how to do the repair. Although the video showed completely removing the drum; I was able to do the repair by moving the drum to the left and right to access the rollers. By not completely removing the drum I was able to skip reinstalling the belt and re-threading the belt around the tensioners. I found installing the belt slightly difficult the first time I removed the drum when I tried to grease the drum roller. That repair didn't last very long. By not removing the drum the total time to repair the dryer took less than twenty minutes!

I followed the procedure shown in the video. The only difference was that the model I have is a little newer than the one in the demo. The backing nut on the roller shafts used a 1/2 inch end wrench instead of a 9/16. It went very well and the dryer runs very quiet now. The wife is happy and says she thinks it's quieter than when it was new. Thanks for the demo video it made all the difference.

I first went online for instructions. I then went to home depot to find the part, but they didn't have it. They recommended an appliance store, called them and they were getting ready to close and wouldn't stay open 5 more mins for a customer- so I ordered from you guys. The part came on time and fit perfectly.

Removed front panel, removed drum, replaced drum support rollers.

Part Select has great step by step instructions on how to repair things. The problem is, I went by what others said probably was the problem. I installed one roller and it didnt fix the problem. So I order the other one and the belt idler roller. Still no fix. The felt and pads are still good, so I take apart the blower and found the problem. I now have that on order. If the rollers and shaft look good, they probably are.

replaced worn parts

first i disconect the power , then I
removed the two screws that hold the front door

took dryer apart after viewing video. Found problem to be wheel on tension part holding drive belt in place. Used wd-40 to clean plastic wheel put dryer back together problem solved

Your video made the replacement easy.Parts were sent in record time.

Removed the door, then the front panel. Removed the lock plates for the top and tipped it to the rear. Removed the lint vaccuum assembly and the front drum support bracket. Removed belt from drive motor and pulled drum straight out the front. Removed snap ring on support roller shaft and removed old roller. Installed new roller and re-assembled in reverse order. Part fit perfectly and included reasonable instructions.

remove front of dryer by unscrewing 2 screws and disconnected 2 wires.took small access panel off back of dryer . supported dryer drum from underneath and r & r old parts.

ps before you put it all back together connect 2 wires from front door and turn dryer on to see if dryer is quiet.if so reassemble dryer in reverse order

the rear left roller is attached to the dryer with a shaft that has a nut on the end of it, so replacing it was considerably easier than on the right side, which required removing the retainer clip.
Once I got the small back panel off, it was a pretty simple process to replace the roller with a socket - while supporting the weight of the drum with one hand, it took about 5 minutes to replace the roller and re-fasten the nut to complete the job!

Took the front and the lint catcher off the dryer to expose the front of the drum and the glides. On our dryer the drum rests on a roller in back and smooth glides in front which are held in place by rivets. these glides had worn down to the metal so that the drum was grinding against the metal ridge as it turned. Drilled out the existing rivets using a 1/8" drill bit. Took out remains of old glides and inserted new. Rivets came with the kit and it was easy to assemble. Put it all back together and now the dryer works beautifully!!

I followed the video on the site for the most part. My neighbor helped me maneuver the drum. The noise stopped after the repair that day, but unfortunately it started up again a few days later. Now it is intermittent. I don't know what the problem is :(
