Loud noise when dryer turned on. Stop at time.
As per video instructions we took off front and removed drum. We only changed one of the roller support wheel as I could not find any information as to how many I need for my type dryer and parts diagram was deceptive. Showed only one drum support roller.

noisy dryer
Replaced rear drum rollers and drum belt. Would have been impossible to do unless I had watched the video. [Re-watched video 4 times during repair to make sure of what I was doing.] dryer now works fine. Dryer did throw off a lot of lot dryer felt lint during first post repair use. Customers should let it run one empty cycle after repair.

Dryer squeaks very loudly
Watched video then followed directions in the package. Installation wasn't difficult but it would have been easier if I had a set of snap ring pliers (cheep at Harbor Freight). I was surprised by the amount of lint buildup. I feel much safer now that everything is nice and clean. Clean and quiet, worth the time to make the repair.

One of the drum support rollers was worn out resulting in a loud screeching noise when the dryer was in use.
Read the instructions included with the parts, removed the 2 screws on the front of the dryer. Removed a couple of wire connections and 4 screws that held the drum in place. Moved the drum enough to have access to the roller supports. I removed the nut from the back of the supports with a 1/2" wrench. Placed the new supports on the old support pins and reinstalled them. Put it all back together. Probably the most difficult task was getting the drive belt back on the drum correctly. I was done in just over 1 hour.

dryer motor went bad
Unplugged the dryer (don't forget this step guys!!!)
Pulled the front off the dryer (4 screws) and swapped the motor out - take off the belt, pull the blower wheel (by removing the snaprigs and squeeze collar), then pull off the motor retaining clips... unplug the motor and install the new one in reverse. Took me less than 2 hours and my dryer works like new.
WAY CHEAPER than a new dryer!!!

Dryer would not heat.
I followed the YouTube video for pulling the heating element to remove and place the thermostat. The actual thermostat removal and replacement was pretty simple. Most of my time was spent removing the front panel, pulling and reinstalling the heating element.

Drum roller was squealing loudly every time the dryer was used. Sounded like a car's power steering belt squeal only 10 times louder.
I watched a video on YouTube for the disassembly of the dryer. The parts replacement took less than 20 minutes; the rest of the time was spent on disassembly and reassembly.

Loud squelling noise when dryer was running
Removed front of dryer, removed inner cover, slid roller belt off of drum to remove drum. Only tricky part was the two clip rings. My pliers had .070 tips and the ring holes were smaller so I had to run to HD to buy a pair with various size tips, ended up using the .047 tips. Only one wheel was squeaking when I rotated them by hand, but I had ordered both as recommended here so I replaced them both. Put everything back together feeling the belt to make sure it was not twisted and rolled smoothly when I rotated the drum by hand. Works great now. Lots of thanks to this site and all the posters who share their info!

Moved the front door/panel two screws at the bottom of the panel.Then removed the front plate and support for the drum assy. four screws.Then loosen the belt and removed the drum assy. to get access to the drum roller to the back top right,.Used snap ring pliers to remove the clip cleaned the shaft an installed the new roller with the fiber washers and installed per instruction from your video,Also replaced the belt and put all items back in reverse order.It worked like a champ so easy,I would recommend your web site and videos to any one who wants to do it yourself.

Dyer was making loud banging noise,
I use U Tube watched Video, you have to take apart the dryer, but pretty simple to do. The drum rollers were very easy to install, make sure to have snap ring plyers, installing belt was easy too, make sure to put it back on it the way it came off, mine was ribbed side down on drum. Take a picture if necessary. Getting the belt on the pulley right is the most important part, the rest is just reassembling,
