SE1000T Maytag Dryer - Instructions

Removed the front panel with a screwdriver, removed the next panel with a socket, pulled out the drum and belt, removed the drum roller support and shaft with a wrench and replaced those parts. I then put everything back together.

Removed the front of the dryer, removed the belt and took out the tub. Replaced the rollers (super easy) and put everything back together. Too easy!!

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.

Clothes are taking to long to dry. I noticed that the burner is cicling on the limint switch ;which is mounted on the burner tube.. is thius the correct serqunce of operation? I replaced this limit. so i am thinking I have another problem. can you help? Thahk you Gary

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.

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.

One of the roller wheels was completely broken off. So I followed the video and took the drum out and replaced both roller wheels. Retaining clip pliers helped get the roller wheels off. Greased wheels prior to installing. Also removed the idler wheel on the motor assemply and greased it while I was in there. Also vacuumed all lint out (including motor). Pulled front of exhaust vent off using nut driver to remove screws. Cleaned lint from around the two sensors in that assembly. put everything back together and made sure belt was not down in the recessed groove on the tub. When reassembled, it was incredibly quiet.

Tried to replace drive belt. Squeaking continued. Tried to lubricate rollers. Squeaking improved for a short time. Returned. Replaced rollers. Problem solved.

Removed Front Panel, Filter/Drum Support and tumbler. Noted metal shavings inside cabinet on my right side. Found right front glide strip completely gone and left side deteriorated. Also spun rear drum rollers and noted noise and slight wobble on right side. Removed snap rings, washers and rollers and examined both shafts. No scoring noted so I cleaned them with mineral spirits. Used excellent website tools to rapidly identify parts needed and placed order. Parts arrived second day (w/ standard shipping option). Installed drum support wheels using new washers from kit (discarded old,thinner ones) and reused snap rings. Moving to front support, drilled out old rivets (4) from front glides with 1/4 inch bit. Inserted cork portion first followed by metal piece (I think it was teflon)and installed the rivets. Two observations here. First there were no instructions and, since my old guides were completely gone, I had to guess at the orientation. There is a pertruding tab on both pieces which I oriented to toward the drum. Once it is in its pretty obvious that the orientation is correct but you might ponder it for a minute or so. Second, one of my rivets didn't flatten out completely (probably operator error). I'm pretty sure there would have been plenty of clearance but I drilled it out and replaced it anyway. Bottton line, having a couple of extra rivets on hand might not be a bad idea. Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. The biggest issue will be the drive belt. Since I have replaced mine before (twenty five years old and two kids with cloth diapers -- its had alot of use) I draped the belt over the back portion of the drum before I re-install the tumbler unit. Get a helper or a piece of wood to support the tumbler and then reach over the top to position the belt. Now the tough part -- especially if you have big hands like mine. You need to reach in and fish the belt onto the motor pulley and then the tensioner. It may take two or three trys but you'll get it. Then I loosely installed the front drum support. At this point rotate the drum by hand to position the belt and run your hand around the inside of the tumbler to check the felt seal front and back. Tighten the front drum support, reinstall the front panel and you are done.
Note. I chose to do everything from the front. There is a panel in the rear that will give you access to the motor. If you have the room and and can get easy access to the rear panel, it will make installing the belt easier. I don't so I chose to work everythig from the front. Timewise I suspect it is about even.

Took 2 screws out of front panel, set it to the side. Took 4 screws out of next panel. Remove guard over the thermo switch, 2 screws . Remove panel that held blower wheel in place. Took e-ring clip off of shaft, then took needle nose pliers and remove retainer clip, replaced blower wheel.

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.

Removed front door (2 screws).
Removed front panel (the component that held the glides}. that required removal of 5 screws.
Cleaned it and removed old rivets and ends of glides.
Installed new glides and pop riveted them in.
Re-assembled panel and door and all is well.

Thanks

used the drum support roller kit an easy fix to a noisy problem

I followed the instruction video on the Partselect.com website exactly except that I accessed the tensioner pulley through a panel on the rear of my dryer. Very clear and concise.
