LSG1000T Maytag Dryer - Instructions

I was amazed at how quickly my order came - using normal shipping through FedEx - the video was especially helpful. I saw there an easier way to get to the problem than I had used in the past. The front of the dryer bin was very accessible - removing just 4 screws. One thing I did different from the video - was that I only moved the belt into the groove at the back of the drum, so I left it inside the dryer shell - and only moved it out far enough to replace the wheels. This way I didn't have to reposition the belt on its pulleys. Our Maytag dryer was purchased in 1983 - and with the parts from PARTSELECT we expect to use it for a long time still.

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

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

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!!

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.

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!

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.

replaced roller shafts and rollers on both sides of drum to have new rollers to support drum. Works really well!

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.

Watched you tube video and followed instructions. Repair went well but the vibration still is present on start up. Considering this is not my line of work I think it was a matter of misdiagnosing the problem. The rollers were worn so probably not a total waste of time and money.

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

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