Product Description

The roller shaft is also known as a support roller shaft or a drum roller axle. It is a part in your dryer that the drum rollers spin on, helping your dryer to tumble. If your appliance is noisy while operating, or will not tumble at all, you may need to replace the roller shaft. You may also want to inspect the drum rollers at the same time and replace them if necessary. Replacing the roller shaft will require that you remove the front panel and the drum from the dryer. Please ensure that you disconnect the power supply before beginning this project. The tools you will need include a Philips screwdriver, a 5/16-inch nut driver, a pair of snap-ring pliers, and a 9/16-inch wrench. The roller shaft is an authentic OEM part.

Dryer was a bit noisy with a full load of wet clothes

As per the repair videos on the site, I searched the internet for a couple of supplementary videos just to make sure I was doing it correctly. It was was all pretty easy. Expect to vacuum out and clean out the interior of the dryer. Also, to make things easier, disconnect the bulkhead and exterior like in the video, but also keep the top ... Read more

My drier was making rumbling noises.

I followed the video instructions, which were great by the way. Pretty easy to remove the front panel, then housing, then belt, then drum to expose drum support rollers and shafts. Removed old and replaced with new after cleaning lint up a bit. Unfortunately, there is still a bit of a rumble when the drier starts up. I fully expected ... Read more

Very loud rubbing/squeaking noise

Watched 2 YouTube videos. 1. How to take apart a dependable care dryer. 2. How to replace a belt on a maytag dryer. We replaced all the parts. It was eeasy. When putting dryer back together make sure felt is straight. We did have to take it apart again there was felt sticking out inside the dryer and it caused the drum to not spin. Every ... Read more

Noisy

I pulled the entire unit apart, because I didn't , for sure, know what the problem was. I'm glad I did as it had years of crud and dust in it. The shaft and roller were easy to install. The belt routing was the hardest part, which was actually simple. It now makes no noise and dries really good.

Dryer was extremely noisy squeeling and sqeaking

Followed installation videos and removed entire front of cabinet including door, loosened belt and removed drum. Only problem was the snap ring pliers I had were too large to fit in the holes of the drum roller snap ring. Ended up taking two 3 inch deck screws with sharp points, putting them in the snap ring holes and removing the ring ... Read more
