The drum roller for your dryer holds the drum in place while the drum turns on the support wheels. The drum roller is round with a bearing in the middle and measures approximately 3 inches in diameter. Over time, these rollers can become worn, and it may cause your dryer to be noisy during operation. The bearing inside this roller is self-lubricating, so no grease will be required.

Dryer Lint Filter

★★★★★

1 Review

As clothes move around in the dryer, the agitation and high heat causes items in your dryer to shed some of its fibers. The lint filter collects these fibers to ensure the dryer vent hose does not get clogged. Air flow is extremely important for a dryer, so it is crucial that this part is kept clean and replaced when damaged. This part works hard, so it is common for it to need replacing over the lifetime of the appliance. This lint filter is sold individually and has a gray plastic housing with a mesh screen. It measures approximately 15 inches by 12 inches by 2 inches. The manufacturer has made a substitution to the lint filter. Due to the changes, the manufacturer suggests changing the filter guide and filter cover. The replacement of the entire component including the filter and surrounding area and guide simply involves the removal of a few screws and screwing the new parts back into place.

Moisture Sensor This genuine OEM sensor is also known as a moisture sensor or a humidity sensor. It is found underneath the lint filter in your dryer, and is used to detect the amount of moisture present in the drum. This is to prevent the dryer from running longer than necessary, and will shut off once your laundry has been sufficiently dried. If your dryer is shutting off too soon, or it is running excessively long, there may be an issue with the sensor and it should be replaced. Before beginning this repair, please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your dryer. If your dryer has two moisture sensors, we recommend replacing both at the same time to ensure even wear.

Thermal Fuse

If your dryer is not turning on, or not heating up, there could be an issue with your thermal fuse. This OEM fuse is designed to act as a high-limit thermostat, and will turn off the heating element in your dryer if the appliance overheats. It does this by cutting off power to the dryer. If the fuse has blown, it will need to be replaced as they cannot be reset. You can test the fuse with a multimeter, and should receive a reading of 0 ohms of resistance if the fuse is still good. A common reason for a dryer to overheat is if the air vents are blocked, as the hot air is contained in the dryer causing the fuse to blow. Be sure to keep your dryer filter and vents clean of lint and other debris to prevent this from happening.

The hot water valve is found at the back of your washer and controls the flow of hot water into the machine. If the valve is defective, the washer may leak, overfill, fill slowly, or not fill with water at all. If this happens the valve should be replaced. There are a couple different methods for testing if your hot water valve is defective. The first is to use a multimeter on the solenoid, the second is to unplug the washer while it is running. If water continues to flow into the machine, then the valve is defective. This genuine OEM part has a standard hose fitting inlet, one water outlet, and measure approximately 3 inches long by 3 inches wide. To complete this repair, you will need to disconnect the water and power supply to your washer and pull it out from the wall so you can access the back panel.

Refrigerator Door Switch If the light inside your fridge is not coming on, or if it is staying on continuously, there may be an issue with your door switch. When the door to your fridge is closed, the button on the switch is pressed down, which breaks the circuit and turns the lightbulb off. When the door opens and the button is released, the circuit is connected, and the light comes on. If you are unsure if the issue is with the door switch, or if your lightbulb has burned out, you can test the switch for continuity with a multimeter. If necessary, replacing the door switch is a simple repair, but please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your refrigerator before beginning any electrical repairs. This genuine OEM part is white in color and measures approximately 2.5 inches long.

Dryer Drum Belt If the drum in your dryer will not tumble, or it is noisy while operating, there may be an issue with the drum belt. The belt is found looped around the dryer drum, a tension pulley, and a motor pulley and is used to rotate the drum so that your laundry tumbles. Over time the belt can become stretched out, or it becomes brittle and will snap. If this happens the belt will need to be replaced. If you need a replacement, this is a genuine OEM dryer drum belt. The belt measures about a quarter inch wide, and has four ribs and three groves. Please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your dryer before beginning this repair.

Lint Screen Housing This is an authentic OEM housing for the lint filter in your dryer. This plastic cover helps to protect the actual lint filter, as that part is more delicate. It is important to have a functioning lint trap in your dryer, as it helps to keep debris out of the dryer vents. This in turn allows your clothes to dryer faster, and also prevents fire hazards.
