SE1000T Maytag Dryer - Instructions

Replaced the roller and shaft. The bearing on the roller had worn out and then worn down the shaft. We let this go on for over a year. The shaft was worn half away. Found the service manual for my dryer online and used it as a guide to taking it apart. First door, then a couple of screws. Removed belt, then drum. Replaced rollers and shaft. The damaged parts were obvious. The rollers and shafts require the socket and snap ring pliers. There was a layer of rust dust all over the inside of the dryer. Vacuumed out all of the lint and rust. Put everything back together. Works great now, no squeaking.

Replaced the glide bearings on the front of the dryer since the bearings were worn and the front of the tub showed signs of wear. This did not fix the screeching noise. Turns out it was the belt idler pulley. It spun freely and without making noise when I spun it with my finger. However, when I placed a little tension on it and spun it slowly I was able to duplicate the noise. I removed the roller and lubricated the arm it rides on. It hasn't made the noise since.

opened the dryer, cleaned link out. replaced roller.

Removed the door which gave access to remove the front panel. Then removed screws that hold down the top. Lifted the top, finished removing all of the screws holding the drum cover. Lifted the drum up and slid it forward which gave access to the rollers in the back. I needed snap ring pliers to remove the rollers. Cleaned and greased the shafts, installed the new rollers and put it back together. All is working fine and quiet.

Followed the directions in your video. ( should have viewed it first as it would have saved me time.

This repair is very easy. The video on partselect.com explains exactly how it's done. My only difficulty was getting the belt back on the tensioner (which incidentally the partselect video described as the only difficult part of the repair.
I wasn't able to get the belt on the tensioner when the pulley was under tension from the spring. After a few minutes of frustration, I unhooked the spring from the pulley, put the belt on the pulley and pretty easily reattached the spring.
The dryer now operates quietly and perfectly. Amazingly this maytag is drying clothes for it's fourth generation in my family. I'm glad it was such an easy and inexpensive repair.

Remove front panel. Remove the belt and then the drum. Remove the old bearings, according to the instructions that came with the parts, and reassemble. It took exactly 1 hour.

The parts were exactly what I needed. Thanks.

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.

Pulled power plug. Removed two screws at bottom of front panel, removed panel and disconnected two wires from the door switch.
Set door assembly aside.
Using nut driver removed the four screws at each side of the drum support assembly.
Removed drum support assembly.
Separated the drum about four inches from the rear drum support assembly.
Cleaned all lint accumulation from all parts and inside the cabinet bottom.
Removed the snap ring, the old roller and washers and roller shaft.
Cleaned area and installed new roller shaft, non-metallic washers and snap ring.
I did not have to remove the drum or the belt.
Be sure the felt is in its proper place before pushing the drum back into the rear drum support assembly.
Placed the front drum support assembly in position and re-installed the four screws.
Re-installed the door assembly and the power plug.

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

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 removed front cover and disconnected door switch as I supported drum and put a coffee can to hold drum in place and then removed old support rollers and one shaft and then put all compents back together

I removed the front panel, drilled out the worn glider plate's rivets and riveted the new plates on. It was easy. However its too late for this worn out dryer. I've replaced, belts, pulleys, wheels, gas valves, ignitor elements, humidistats, lamps, felt rings, and even the whole motor. This baby has just seen too much action and its time for a new dryer.

Heard a loud squeaking noise in dryer. I changed the belt first which was cracked and worn. The dryer noise did improve, but was still present. I then replaced the rollers and now it runs very smoothly. Should get another 25 years from it. The Instructions for installation were very helpful and easy to follow.
