Product Description
This OEM drum support roller kit contains the parts needed to replace one roller on your dryer. This kit includes one drum roller and two bearings. Most dryers use two drum rollers, and it is recommended to change both at once for optimal performance. The drum support roller holds the drum in position while it spins on the support wheels. It rotates on the roller shaft located on the rear bulkhead. It may need to be replaced if your dryer is noisy, will not tumble, leaves marks on clothes, or will not start. This part is prone to wear and tear, and if broken will need to be replaced. This part measures roughly 3 inches in diameter and is made of plastic, metal, and rubber. Each kit is sold individually (two would be needed to replace both drum support rollers, which is recommended).

Dryer makes a huge noise. Was told it is probably the blower wheel. Problem is I believe there are two models which both claim to fit this model. One is threaded and one, not. How do I know which one to order?
For model number MDG8426agw
Hi Solomon,
Thank you for your question. Both blower wheels are threaded. If your blower wheel has a d-shaped shaft, you will need to order part number FIX2035614. If your wheel has a threaded drive hub, you will need to order part number FIX11741126. If you need help placing an order for one of these parts, customer service is open 7 days a week and anyone will be happy to assist you. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

It's really not hard but just keep this in mind. Also, as you disassembling, it would help to snap some pictures of where each screw goes and how; reassembly was a tiny bit tricky as I didn't do this.

Replaced the wheels at the back and also the belt. ( I also removed the lint buildup around the drum felt and on the heating chamber and motor. That alone helped the noise problem.

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.

The retaining ring tool I bought from the hardware store did not fit the holes in the retaining ring, so I had to file the tips down. Once the retaining rings are removed, the washers and rollers come off easily. The Roller Shaft can be removed by loosening the nut on the back side of the shaft. Inserted new shaft and tightened nut, then replaced both rollers, and washers, and reinstalled the Retaining rings. Put drum back in place, tied all wires back in and reinstalled front bezel and door.
1st off, watch all the video's they supply even before you buy the parts. A lot of knowledge in them. It helped to ensure I bought the right parts to begin with. I removed the front of the machine, removed the brackets holding the lid down. Raised the lid, and did an inspection of everything. Removed the front so I could remove the drum.
... Read moreOnce that was down, piece of cake. I got out the vacuum, vacuumed out everything, then moved to removing the rollers. Because my tool broke to remove the retaining clip from the front, I had to use a 1/2" wrench to removed the roller studs. Rebuilt the drum support rollers, and put them back on. Next was the idler pulley wheel and bearing and idler arm and shaft. Another piece of cake. I decided to not replace the front glide as it looked fine. NOW THE TRICKY PART. Putting the new belt on and putting the drum back in. Watched that video 4 times. Finally got it. Of the little over two hours, 30 minutes was spent on this part. Put everything back together from there a cake walk. YOU DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE ANY WIRES FROM ANYTHING EITHER. Hope this helps.
For belt installation, I found that pushing the belt rearward into the drum roller groove made it much easier to get the belt over the idler pulley. Once I had it over the idler pulley it was a simple matter to slide the belt forward into it's normal operating position.

Squeaking No More!
I’ve made a few repairs to my old Maytag dryer. I knew I was going to be replacing a few things and my old roller bearing was seizing and squeaking. I ordered this part and replaced it fairly easy. There is a little clamp that holds the roller on that was a bit of a pain without proper tools. I did get it though by using a flat screwdriver and prying towards me to pop it off. Ever since replacing the part, I no longer have a noisy dryer.

Noisy dryer? Here's a fix
Opened up my dryer and found out one of my rollers was rusted out. Greased up the shaft and put on this roller. Keep in mind your dryer might need two new rollers, mine had one good and one bad. After watching DIY YouTube videos I put this together myself in a couple hours.
10/10 dryer runs how it should, quieter than ever!
