7761A-71 Norge Dryer - Instructions

I took apart the dryer by unscrewing the top and the front, front comes off by just undoing the two top screws on the inside. I figured it was something to do with the rollers since the noise was ciclycal. The hardest part was to put the drive belt back on. It helps to have a second person for about 5 minutes.

I took out the old worn out part and replaced with the one I order.

I ordered this part to replace broken lint filter. Shipping estimate was 3-5 working days. I had the part 2 days after I ordered it!! I was very surprised and extremely pleased. If I need anymore appliance parts, I know exactly where to go!

Lint filter replacement is routine maintenance. operating without a filter causes problems, a dryer sheet was sucked thru the opening and into the blower wheel, causing a lot of noise, and shaking because of the unbalance. I popped the top of the machine up, removed two screw holding the front in place, removed the front, gaining access to blower.
Removed the offending sheet, straighted the bent fin, and put everything back together again. Installeed the new filter, now it runs smooth, and quiet. mission accomplished.

I tilted the unit back enough to scew the new legs into the threaded holes.

This Was pretty simple, removed the old broken screen. There are two torque screws on the outside where the bottom of the door is, I removed them so I could move the screen on the inside so I could clean out the excess lint. vacuumed out the lint, tightened the screws back in and slid the new screen in and it was done.

Removed broken filter, used screwdriver to clear out some old lint in the intake and inserted new filter. New filter fits and works as described.

Just slid the new filter in.

Remove broken lint filter, stick in new filter. Couldn't be easier.

I unscrewed the door catch and pried out with some resistance the strike part. Screwed in the catch and pushed in the strike. Closed door. Voila!! Back in business with assurance.

It should have been easy but when some wires (3) came loose when I moved it to install it, I had a problem. The video that was run at a higher speed and too close up images you could not see which wire went where. Contacted Part Select and received no answer, so I tracked the wires down as much as I could on an old wiring diagram and hooked them up. I then connected the power, stood back and watched the switch smoke and blow circuits. No why to find the correct color wire to what part so I ended up having to buy a new dryer. Part Select has only sale people so don't expect help if something goes wrong. Good Luck

The website lists 2 wheels for this model, no info on the flat spot in the shaft. I ordered the less expensive wheel but it did not fit the shaft, got a refund, ordered the more expensive one, it fit with just a little tapping with a light hammer.

Unfortunately, due to a catalogue glitch, the part delivered was the wrong size. However, Donald of customer service took the time to run down the correct part, and that is enroute to me now. Donald, thank you so much for your help!

I pulled the old one off and put the new one on. It took about 3 minutes because I also replaced the old lint filter.

0) unplugged the dryer
1) lifted the top which put up a bit of a fight
2) removed a screw on each side of the front panel near the top
3) picked off the front panel from the lower clips
4) removed panel from in front of the blower
5) removed clip and snap rig
6) removed old blower and installed new one
7) reversed the disassembly procedure
This is the second replacement blower for this dryer. This blower was a much tighter fit than the first replacement so maybe the inner flat that the motor drives with will last longer. I actually had to pound the new blower onto the motor shaft.
