The dryer has a squeal that got worse.
Pulled the dryer front off to expose the problem. Thought it had a bearing of some type. Went to the PartSelect web site and watched the repair video. The Tech explained everything needed to make the repair. Ordered the parts kit and it arrived in three days by FedEx. Followed the directions. Simple. The video was excellent and made the repair a snap. Thanks.

clothes getting caught between drum and front of machine leaving rust marks
* Clean off top of stackable dryer and remove top lid (pops off w/ screwdriver) * Disconnect power supply and control wiring (right side under top lid) * Remove left and right single screws securing front face of dryer * Pop off dryer face w/ screwdriver * Remove existing top glide from dryer face (peels off, use screwdriver or chisel/scraper to remove residue from felt and glue) * Test fit new top glide * Apply adhesive (included) to dryer face rim * Clamp with 4 or so spring clamps and allow adhesive to set up (I waited about 30 minutes). * Clean and inspect inside of dryer while the front face is off * Clean dryer vent assembly (attached to dryer face) * Reassemble and test easy rotation of the drum prior to use
1.) Unplug Dryer 2.) pop dryer lid by depressing 2 front clips with flat head screw dryer 3.) on back of dryer remove access cover and release belt tension 4.) remove front panel screws and then pop off front panel 5.) remove old gasket. Used XACTO knife, razor blades and acetone. Go slow and be careful. 6.) apply new high temp glue, let set up for a minute 7.) position the new felt gasket and clamp into place. I used C-Clamps and squeeze clamps. 8.) I let sit overnight. 9.) re-assemble and good to go.
NOTE: In retrospect I should have replaced both seals at the same time. The bottom seal is pretty worn but is still working out for now.
replaced upper drum gasket(felt) hardest part was removing old gasket(felt) used a wire wheel on a cordless drill and the material came right off job was very easy to complete and got great service from parts select
Removed the top of the dryer 2 screws. procedure open dryer door. At the top of the dryer door their is two screws left to right, Remove them and lift top off. Inside where the top was is two screws left to right. Remove the two screws and take the front panel off. Carefull not to pull wireing loose. Lean door against something so you don't have to disasemble wireing. Pull broken belt out and install new belt around tumbler and up and over tension pulley and pull down and slip over the motor pulley. Your'e done. Reassemble front then top. My dryer ran just fine after these steps. The question and answers helped me do this.
This is a space saver one piece unit with dryer on top. I first removed ten screws that hold the top on, I then removed four more screws that hold the front service cover on and two last screws that hold the rear service cover on. Now I seperated the front cover of the dryer from the dryer tumbler tub and slipped the new belt around the tub, then at the rear service cover I feed the belt through the tensioner and back onto the motor pully. Now just put the covers back in reverse order of removal and all done! "Piece of cake" Ron
I was getting brown rust colored marks on my clothes
First of all to all you females out there, I am one and this is easy. It was a stacked washer/dryer and the dryer is gas. I unplugged the power, didn't unhook the gas and left them stacked, not a problem. Next I pushed in the 2 clips at the top with a small screwdriver while at the same time prying up on the top with my chisel, popped the top up and unplugged the wire bundle that's attached to the front panel. A few inches down on the inside of the front panel are 2 screws, I removed those. Then I pried the front panel off - there are 4 clips 2 on each side holding the front panel on. I pulled off the felt strips leaving a bunch of "hair". I read the other repair stories saying they'd wished that they'd used stronger solvent to remove the old glue and "hair" so I used laquer thinner and it worked great. Just saturate your rag and get the old felt and glue really wet and then come back with the chisel and the felt and most of the glue comes off and not the paint. I just kept going back over it with the saturated rag and chisel and it was pretty easy. I then put the glue on the felt strips, attached them, and used a ring of bungee cords to make a clamp around them 'til they dried. Put dryer back together and it works great. Also when you've got it apart - it's a good time to vacuum out the inside of the dryer.
I followed the provided video precisely. Made the job quite easy. My only problem is I'm 6'2", 275 lbs. with bad knees. Can't go at it exactly as shown in the video because I can't squat down in front of the dryer without pain. Called in a neighbor of smaller stature for him to come from one side, and me from the other. Worked flawlessly. Video is excellent. I do recommend wearing gloves and/or long sleeve shirt. I cut up my arms a bit, but that could have been easily avoided.
