Kenmore Dryer - Loud, Squeaky Drum Wheel Fix

A fix for drum wheels and/or idler pulley without having to purchase replacement parts. The drum wheels were causing belts to break on this dryer (Kenmore 90 Series). It was excessively loud as well. I am happy to report that it has been extremely quiet after this fix.

Thank you so much for this video. I just needed to clean and lubricate my idler pully. Good as new.

Nice instructions. Thanks for posting this. I used some PTFE based dry lube that I had in the garage because I was concerned that grease might attract dust and gum up the rollers again. It was a spray that had a solvent carrier that was useful for cleaning off the shafts and the inside of the rollers. So far so good.

[@adriansanchez5045]

Oh, I sprayed it on a cloth and used that to wipe down everything.

Thanks. I'm going to try this tomorrow.

Thanks. Good job.

Be nice if we heard it before

[@markfothebeast]

I wasn't really prepared for a before and after. But next time I will record the sound with a condenser mic.

[@graphite7]

Nice, thank you

[@wenchyiliu3923]

How did you take the cover off?

[@markfothebeast]

Geez, this was so long ago that I can't remember. I think I saw an appliance repair video on here somewhere that showed how to remove it.

no sound?

[@daysibaleno8630]

Terrible video . I cant tell what part you are showing or how you took it apart

[@fta777]

Why not use Anti-Seize instead of grease, much better.

[@markfothebeast]

I was using what I had in the garage.

[@fta777]

Very good reply.

[@markfothebeast]
