I replaced the belt in mine 40 years ago when I was a young single Mom,pre internet. I was quite proud of myself and couldn't have afforded to pay someone!
same here ! i live alone since 17 and fixed mine the other day thanks to him 😎 felt very rewarding ! my belt snapped and it needed a good cleaning that's for sure (i pulled 2 wood nails and 4 screws out of the lint catcher)LOL
@@JohnSmith-xu7ev I also used grease, chassis and bearing automotive kinda grease. It started squealing again after maybe a year or so. Not a very long-term lubricant for this application. The factory bushings are sintered bronze, which has oil sucked into the pores that continually wicks out during heating cycles. It eventually runs out and dries up. I'm not so sure this 3 in 1 all temp silicone is going to be long-term either.
@@ProleDaddy Im going to buy the better oem replacement parts from this one website. Those kits on ebay only last a year. The other problem i had is with the rubber. They would vibrate too much, sounds like you are drying a pair of shoes
I got a dryer for free a couple weeks ago because of this problem. I took it all apart and had a great time learning how everything inside works and then found the problem and was able to give it to my sister! Lots of fun . Lots of good information on an electric dryer repairs from guys like this
You are a great guy, going from your videos of course, and I truly appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge and congratulate you on having made something of your life and finding purpose, helps those of us that haven't found it yet feel better. 👌
Great video!! Just fixed my daughters dryer with some silicone oil…one of the wheels was stuck.. cleaned and lubricated everything.. pouring like a cat!! Thanks for your video, Sir!!
it's a laundromat for you. great side hustle for you because you'd have only your time in maintaining it. that's 1 big chunk of overhead. since it would always be in great condition you'd get most of the area's business. 💪 GOD BLESS YOU 🙏❤ ALL
Been watching these videos for the last few weeks, I just love them. Went to dry clothes last night don’t hear the gas igniting! I want to fix it before my husband gets home on Monday. Not sure where to start, my laundry room is tiny, so it’s hard to move it around to take the back off… smh
The most common thing is the gas coils, at least on older models like mine (which are the most reliable). They're electromagnetic coils that actuate the gas valve. They're dirt cheap from my experience. You can test them with by unhooking the wires and using a multimeter to ohm them out. TH-cam knows all about it.
Silicone, got it. Thank you so much! I had to repair a dryer where the rollers were squeaking, and I didn’t know what to lubricate them with, so new rollers. I ALMOST didn’t watch this 😅.
I had a late 80s Maytag belt-driven dryer(yard sale,$10) that was fantastic.I had to replace the belt twice,cleaned the open areas yearly and it lasted YEARS.
Totally went through my old Roper about 10 years ago. F & R bearings, belt, idler, rollers, everything but the motor, still have the new element just in case. Still runs smooth and quiet, 40+ years on. Just wish I could buy a new timer, it's usually the first NLA part.
I cleaned mine out replaced the wheels and replaced all the liners on the drum and the ones in the back where the vent cover is idk what you call any of that but the dryer works like new again… I tell people at least once every 6mths or once a year clean out the dryer and clean out there washer machine Doing so will give the appliances a longer life span
Total Rust restoration and roller belt kit. I put silicone on the roller shaft and it was quiet for a while, but then soon after the shaft started rusting then squeaking loud, I’m guessing since I saw the light rust. So I cleaned and put car axle grease lightly and no noise but got a slight rotating thump or knock. ??? So I went out and bought a new dryer that matches my new washer, was so happy cause it matches. My restored dryer works, just don’t know when the noise will pop up with new parts, come and go squeaks, thump, weird noise, then goes away… oh well destined for a new one.
Thank you. I had bought a belt and lubricated one of the wheels and thought it was fixed. There was no noise for three loads. But then the noise came back. I hope this helps 🤞🏾
Those dryers are easy to work on... just recently upgraded from a 28 yr old GE gas dryer to a Smart Samsung dryer... belt, coils, igniter, seals were replaced at least once, rust got the best of it....
I have one that was in a laundry mat they removed and replaced them with new. The guy who removed them tuned it up for me and I’ve had it since 1975 and I have an extra belt extra motor for it when it goes out. Best of all, I can take this apart and fix it myself.
I had a Whirlpool washer dry set from 1987 last till 2013 the rollers went out I temp fixed them with 2 inch washers and a old spark plug socket , till I could get a set , took 10 days . not 2 weeks after the washer pump went out, Both are still being used today . I been fixing stuff from age 17 . lot of people have no clue that things can be fixed .
Had a repair tech replace the felt thing on the drum. He charged me so little by my perspective that I tipped him an additional $50. Knowledge is valuable. He was able to do something within 30 minutes that would have taken me hours and that’s if I didn’t fuck something up just getting to the problem. This was in the 90’s and internet was non-existent in my world. TH-cam didn’t exist yet.
The time that me my uncle and my dad took apart my dryer cuz it was squealing very very loud it was full of lint and one of the rollers were flat cuz all the hair just wrapped around the rolling part and just made it stop so I put a level on it and it was level
I have replaced the belt and a roller on a Whirlpool- Kenmore dryer. One time me and my dad replaced a water pump and belt on a Kenmore washer. A lot of work but a lot cheaper than calling for service.
Bro are you the guy that went to the STATE PEN AND YOUR POSITIVE ATTITUDE TAUGHT YOU THIS TRADE AND YOUR DOING GREAT…BEAT ODDS OF NOT REV YOUR PAROLE. THAT famous TV GUY “ Dirty Jobs” should honer you. IF THATS YOU YOUR FRIKEN AWSOME AND INSPIRATIONAL…
my dryer is from maybe the 80's . No noises. I only end dry n fluff. save lots a energy line drying. just put up a wire shelf and some clothes lines if u have a laundry room. some things dry outside for the great air smell.
How about a video on replacing that felt strip that lines the edge of the drum. Oh and how about when the dryer casing that seemed to serve as a coin bank?
This is why I prefer basic washers and dryers. Easy to work on. Everytime I go to Lowe's and see those fancy-shmancy washers and dryers, I'm like "F*ck that!". And I prefer my appliances not to be made by companies that also make TVs, tablets, cell phones, Etc. The worst, in my opinion, is Samsung! 🤪
I like these little videos I saw this one the other day so I took apart my dryer you wouldn’t believe how much stuff is left over between the length and the change and everything else that thing catches let me tell you what your dryer is nasty I cleaned it out man it runs like brand new now
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen, but it’s really quick. Do you have a longer video little more in-depth? I don’t have that much space do I have to take out that whole drum?
I replaced the belt in mine 40 years ago when I was a young single Mom,pre internet. I was quite proud of myself and couldn't have afforded to pay someone!
Way to GO.
No one cares! Go to work!

@@Oscar-fc2ye go to work!
Is this person going to reply or?
this 49 second video, played 50 times, just saved me about $250. Only had to buy the silicon lubricant. Thanks you !!!
Just learned something! Silicone over graphite. Thank you. Got one eating idler pulleys.
Ive tried grease, it was a mistake. It gummed up and it makes the wheel want to seize up
I mean like graphite is pretty commonly used in lockpicking, works alright

I’ve been repairing my own stuff, and it’s genius how serviceable many of these things are.
I agree!
Kenmoor/sears used to have every part in existence and a service proceedure listed online for everything.
An angel disguised as a TH-camr. So thankful for this. 30 min fix. Thank man!
Keep the videos coming. Single mom and I Like to take care of things instead of hiring someone.

I just rebuilt my washer and dryer, which is almost 20 years old, so now I can get another 20 years. I love the videos
Your videos are great brother. I pray you have nothing but success! Thank you for allowing me to fix my moms washer for her!!!
Graphite spray is AWESOME for door hinges if you don’t mind a little gray dust. It’s also great for pocket knives.
I have taken apart hundreds of dryers. His info is good.
Love this guy. Learned a skill and ran away with it. Good work ethic goes a long way, especially these days

Yes. You are the guy. Thanks for your video.

Awesome and thanks for watching! just be very careful when trying to repair gas appliances without much experience, def can be dangerous!!
don't mess with that.

Today I learned there are gas dryers.... That sounds like a really bad idea lol
@@NotMe-ej9yz I'd expect your house is heated by burning gas as well.
From the look of that link trap i think this is the same or very similar model of dryer that I own. Saving vid this just in case i need it now lol
I love your videos brother...keepem coming..
Great Video! I have a similar dryer with a bad roller. Watching this i was able to find the issue. Parts on its way! Thanks for making this!
Silicone, got it. Thank you so much! I had to repair a dryer where the rollers were squeaking, and I didn’t know what to lubricate them with, so new rollers. I ALMOST didn’t watch this 😅.

You know I think I can do it...🙏😇🙋♀️
i sure did't know u just undo those 2 screws and take off the top!
Love your videos!!
Your videos rule my dude! Thank you for the education!
Lots of respect for you for overcoming your past 🙏. Stay strong and keep moving forward.
Great info ! You are AMAZING!!!

Great success story. I enjoy your videos.
Thank you this saved my mother in law 600 bucks for a squeak belt and rollers will be ordering a belt but squeak is gone so far
I sure wish you were in GA!!
This is phenomenal changed my life😮
I really like you videos.
I used belt conditioner I got from work. And it worked. I didn't know to use dry lube.. 😊 but I Respect your hustle.
I love the English sayings “till you’re blue in your face”❤
English English or American English
@@Fee.1 doesn't really matter
seems like English isn't their strongest suit, but they got the gist of what they meant
It sounds childish.
Got a very old Kenmore dryer.
Other than replacing the belt. It has worked perfectly. They really don't make them like they used to make them.
This video really helps me out a lot. Cheer's!!
i pray to god i don’t fuck this up this afternoon 😂 bought the kit
I didn't think I could do I did it I'm 64yr old thank you women

Yeah man, I've got a Sears Kenmore that's 40 years old. I've overhauled it twice. But, I didn't know about the silicone lube. Thanks.
It was a learning experience. thanks....
Our dryer at homes is 22 years old I replaced the idler tensioner,belt,and rollers and it still runs perfect every load.
Absolutely approved stay strong brother 🦉
Thank you for this info. ❤
silicone is amazing we work with abrasives. so silicone lube is the BEST non stick ever

I used the exact same silicone you used in this video and after one load of laundry my dryer was squeaking again.
The time that me my uncle and my dad took apart my dryer cuz it was squealing very very loud it was full of lint and one of the rollers were flat cuz all the hair just wrapped around the rolling part and just made it stop so I put a level on it and it was level
Thanks for the tips. Real time savers.

Good for you. For turning your life around. Many people don't
THANK U SIR THAT WAS MOST INFORMATIVE AND MAY WELL BE HELPFUL IN THE FUTURE CAUSE 👁 DON'T CALL TECH'S TO FIX STUPID
Legit!
My boy gettin in there with that wet platinum, make them idlers so happy they can’t even moan 😩😂
Wet platinum what's that

I had these plastic glides on foam I had to replace.
Thanks!
Need help with my top washer. Only the gentle cycle works.
Great info videos!
my dryer is from maybe the 80's . No noises. I only end dry n fluff. save lots a energy line drying. just put up a wire shelf and some clothes lines if u have a laundry room. some things dry outside for the great air smell.
Great stuff.
I'm waiting for the day....
Kenmore and whirlpool are the best too.
My top looks rusted too!! Maby in the summer I'll give it a Rustoleum job!!
Actually the best stuff to use is Appliance Paint, it literally sticks to anything and is pretty cheap!
Best dryers ever
How about a video on replacing that felt strip that lines the edge of the drum. Oh and how about when the dryer casing that seemed to serve as a coin bank?
The strip is called a bearing, even though it's not made of metal.
That's right don't forget your name 🤣🤣🤣👍 good job 🥃😉👏👏
Damn i was hoping i wouldn't have to take the belt off 😅😅😅 welp off the hardware store. Thanks for the content

lol this dude just deconstructed the whole unit and said the word “simple” in the same vid 😂
We always used graphite but not in spray form. Never had a callback.
I like the “Costc✨” part lol
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen, but it’s really quick. Do you have a longer video little more in-depth? I don’t have that much space do I have to take out that whole drum?
whirlpool, Kenmore,kitchenaid are made on the same assembly line and some use the same parts
Maytag too.....see one makes low line for all. One makes middle line for all....etc...stoves. fridges. dryer...
Thanks for all your videos.
What is your favorite washer, dryer brand diy maintenance wise ?
The match to this, the whirlpool, direct drive, which could be called Kenmore or Kitcheneed, or even Roper is the best machine ever made.
Also, check the drum shoes that causes loud squeaks also
Looks easy here. If I tried it, I’d need a new dryer.
Teflon spray is amazing
Amana parts are cross compatible and are cheaper normally. I know this is old but if it helps someone save or make a buck still worth it
your videos have saved me... got any ac tips?
I use 500 degree F Valvoline red grease. Unbeatable!
Those rollers were never designed to have lubricant added. They will squeak again. They are supposed to be dry from factory.
Do you have any videos on how you are refinishing these to make them look new? Searched, but didn’t see anything. Thanks for the great content!
I need your help. I have my dryer apart. I’m trying to trouble shoot. I will absolutely try this. Thank you
