Thanks!
I'm glad and very happy to know that I could help you. Thank you so much for watching, commenting, the very kind words and generous contribution. Pinned! I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video. 6 years after you posted, my husband and I were able to fix our 14 year old dryer with ease, saving us around $1000 since we were sure we would have to buy a new one. They aren’t cheap these days! Sir, you are a saint! 😊
You're most welcome. Comments like this make my DAY! 😁️ I'm glad to know I could help you and that you got value from my work here. I made this video to help people just like you. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Absolutely one of the best do it yourself videos I've ever watched for a dryer repair. Excellent job!

In 10+ years of using TH-cam for DIY projects and help, this is my first comment! I have to say your voice creates easy listening and guidance step by step instructions is just perfect! Because it was my first time disassembling and reassembling any appliance, it took about 3-4 hrs (2 days for parts to come in) to finish altogether. Thank you so much for posting this! I'm extremely grateful :)
This is by far one of the most thorough repair videos I have seen on TH-cam. You, sir, have not missed a single thing that needed to be called out - this is a feat in and of itself. That along with easy to understand instructions, the right visuals at the right time and some amazing tips and tricks to make the job easier (like using the duct tape) make this video worthy of the handyman Oscar, if such a category were to exist. Thank you for saving me time and money on one of the more elaborate appliance repair jobs I have undertaken at home.
You are most welcome. I am glad to know I could help you. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Far and away the best made how-to video I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. My issue was different (heating element instead of bearing) but your thorough and methodical explanation gave me the courage to tackle the job. After a couple of hours straightforward work (I had to rewire the new element as its current contacts were in a different location on the element pan) we now have a wiring, heating dryer. And if the dryer ever starts to squeak, I know I’ll be able to tackle that too! Thank you!
You're most welcome. Glad to hear about your positive results. I actually watch my own videos once in a while just to refresh my brain. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. Subscribe, Click The Bell and stay tuned! All the best.👍😀
After a month of this our dryer was getting so bad you could hear the squeaking sound a few houses down the street. My wife is incredibly tolerant and I finally decided to tackle this project yesterday and your video was perfect. It was the actual model I have and everything was well explained and clearly shot in the video. I had a replacement parts kit from another model of dryer that bit the dust a few years ago and surprisingly all the parts were the same. Replaced the belt while i was in there as well. I really really appreciate that you took the time to make this video and upload it here. Saved me from making some silly mistake and having to take the darn thing back apart again. Happy to say we are enjoying a squeal free laundry day today!
You are most welcome. I know how annoying the squeal can be and I have been enjoying the silence ever since fixing it as well. Thanks.
Richard, You ROCK!!! My Frigidaire dryer had been squeaking for > 1 year, I was fed up. I googled "how to fix a squeaky Frigidaire dryer" and behold, I saw your post. I watched your instructional video, then ordered the kit through your Amazon link ($14.99 + tx. I paid 5.99 for 1 day shipping). That was 2 days ago. Yesterday, I received the kit and went to work on my dryer. I couldn't believe all the lint and dog hair that had accumulated over the years in the bottom of the dryer - YUK!!! It took approximately 1.5 hours total - start to finish. I couldn't wait to put a load of wet laundry into the dryer to test. And voila - dry clothes and no squeak. I have 1 word for you... AMAZING!!! Thank you. ~ Janet
2 years later and another satisfied customer. Thank you for your kind addition to the world's public knowledge, for your attention to safety, and for saving me the cost of bringing someone in to repair my dryer. Cheers from Canada!
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best from Texas from a former Canadian, me.
Saved this video for my dad and he asked me to comment for him since he doesnt have an account. He says, 'Ive watched a lot of videos on youtube and this is by far the best instructional video Ive seen. Thank you.'
He appreciates your detail and that you cover most everything. Keep up the good work! Links in the description are always appreciated!
This was really one of the best "how to" youtube videos I have ever seen. I have watched many videos by people who clearly didn't know what they were doing and showed incorrect and possibly dangerous procedures, on everything from car repair to key repair to plumbing. The only thing that might possibly be wrong with this one is the amount of detail Richard goes into, making it almost 45 minutes long. However, I'm pretty handy and I'm sure the extra time spent explaining in great detail all the steps will really help those who have never really picked up a screwdriver before. And this repair is easy enough for even a novice to undertake. Thanks again, my dryer is super quiet now!
You are most welcome. I am glad to know I could help you. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Thank you so much for posting these instructions. I followed along to change the bearing assembly in my dryer today and it made the whole process very straightforward. Excellent video!
You're most welcome. I'm glad and very happy to know that I could help you. Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Fantastic instructional video Richard. Thank you.
I did this repair today on the exact same dryer you have in your video. It went smooth as silk thanks to you. I had the same ball-bearing-eating-the-end-of-the-ball-support issue, with a loud squeal when running. There was no lubricant whatsoever...but it has been 23 years. Now I hope to get another 23 years out of our quiet dryer!

I honestly don’t understand how you could dislike this video unless the person tried these simple steps and ordered the recommended part for the wrong dryer. My dryer sounded like death and this simple to follow video allowed me to easily fix the problem sound. Thank you very much for uploading! Huge help

6 years later and I'm glad I stumbled across your video. Made the bearing repair very simple, plus I had to do the heating element which was easy and the felt glide strip. Thank you Richard
You're most welcome. I'm glad and happy to know I could help you. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
This was a totally easy repair! I just finished replacing the rear bearing and felt glide and my dryer sounds brand new. I couldn’t have done it without your video. Thank you!!
Oh my goodness you are a blessing six years later . Thank you.

@@richardlloydusa your welcome , I did everything too the t ,yet I made a error it sparked because I didn't have the wheel so I ordered a kit .
They're great dryers and worth every penny to repair. I still have the dryer in the video and it STILL works great! They truly don't make them like they used to. Thank you so much again for commenting and watching. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Thank you for this incredibly detailed video including good audio and lighting! I followed to the letter it was easier then I thought, most time consuming part was vacuuming out all the lint in my 20 Year old dryer. Keeping another appliance from the landfill. 😎
You're most welcome. Still a great machine and does a great job! Glad to hear about your positive results.

Great instruction video. I bought the kit and replaced the bearing assembly with no issues what so ever. Not bad for a 62 year old lady! Thanks so much!
You are most welcome. I am very glad to hear you were able to get it don. Thanks for watching and the great feedback. All the best.
Thank you for taking time to make such a thorough video on this subject. I just changed the bearing on our dryer, and it was a flawless operation, thanks to you. Well done!
Thank you for posting this. This helped a lot in seeing how a dryer works. My old GE dryer looks almost identical to this dryer and I was able to fix this problem within an hour. The vacuuming of all the dust and lint took longer than the actual disassembly, bearing replacement, and reassembly.
Saved me a lot of money.
Excellent step by step instructions for fixing/replacing not only the bearing, but one could replace the belt as well. I have a Kenmore. Thanks Richard!
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.
Excellent video! Lost heat to my dryer. Came here to figure out how to open it up. Discovered I need a bearing kit also besides a new heater element. Total repair parts cost just over $50 from Amazon. Thank you!
Thank you so much for commenting I may do a heater replacement video on this as well, now that you mention it. Glad to hear about your positive results.

Excellent !!! Amazing details, and very thorough. I replaced the belt. It took 30 mins to dismantle. And took 30 mins to put it back. Thankyou for your expertise and willingness to share.
You're most welcome. I'm glad and very happy to know that I could help you. Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
This is by far the best appliance repair video that I have ever seen! Excellent work!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!!!!
You are most welcome. Thank you very much for watching and the kind comments. All the best.
One of the best instructions I have ever seen! You were born to teach, for sure. You helped me to fix mine. Thank you!
I really thank you Richard for your video on replacing a rear drum bearing, I just finished replacing my drum bearing in my dryer and your video was a life saver and I am thankful for all your help and keep up the good work.
You are most welcome. I love this machine. It is well worth fixing. Thank you for watching and the kind words. All the best.
This was the best video ever for replacing the bearing on a Fridgidaire dryer. Ever step was so well explained. Thank yo so much!!!
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.
Hi, Did this exact same thing while watching your video...wish I'd seen this first...I paid $40 for my kit...but hey, I'm still happy. Saved myself $140 in labor. Have never been afraid to take on fixing things myself since utube has come along. Saved lots of $$ over the years. Thanks for this, easy to understand and follow :-)
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. All the best.
Nice thorough video, thanks. If I could add one thing I did to mine. I removed the belt tension idler pulley then cleaned the shaft and inside of the pulley. I used some of the grease to lube the pulley shaft and a little inside the pulley before re-installing it as mine was pretty dry.
Thank you. I had basically this exact model. It’s not a difficult replacement, but without your step by step I likely would not have known how to do it.
You're most welcome. I'm glad and very happy to know that I could help you. Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Well done, thanks for the comprehensive breakdown and repair guide. I had no surprises when I did mine and the amazon links in your description worked great. Again, much appreciated!
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, the great feedback and the kind comments. All the best.
Thank you sooooo much! My husband and I just spent a few hours following your video to the letter to repair our squeaky old dryer. It's been driving me crazy and now it's quiet! Can't thank you enough!
Oh the only thing, our dryer is the same model but did not have washers and the kit we ordered also did not come with washers. But it worked without them. My husband had to sort of drill the screws into the new bearing as there didn't seem to be threads in the new bearing holes for the screws. That was our only hiccup.
You are most welcome. I am glad you were able to get it fixed. Did you use my link at Amazon: amzn.to/1nVUqyI to buy the hardware? I want to know if they have changed the hardware. Thanks.
Richard Lloyd no I didn't use your link, I searched Amazon by serial number for the dryer. It was "Frigidaire 5303281153 Rear Bearing Kit for Dryer., $11.87
(I hadn't watched your video all the way through before I ordered it. I took a leap of faith that we could fix it ;)
Great! Thanks for the feedback. I was worried that they changed the kit since I posted the link. All the best.
Thanks for making this so thorough. We've replaced the felt glides on the dryer a couple of times over the year, but the drum is definitely off kilter right now. I always prefer to repair, so going to go through these steps.

This video was incredibly detailed and greatly aided my journey in fixing my squeaking noise which happened to be the silver ball bearing assembly. Thank you very much for this video, you saved me $200!
Just adding my voice to the chorus, great video helped up fix our squeaky dryer. We didn't replace it was just put some Sil Glyde on it from Napa Auto Parts and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the walk through!
You are most welcome. Glad I could help. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.
Followed your video to a perfect install for a new bearing and belt. Great job! Very simple and quick install to keep my dryer going on its 22nd year.
I still have mine and it still works as it should. They really don't build them like this anymore. The older washers and driers where and are much better at the job. Thank you so much for commenting, watching and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Great step by step take apart and reconstruction! This helped me out big time!
Just completed this job using your very detailed and thorough walkthrough. No surprises, went very well, thanks to you!
Excellent video. I was looking for a step by step instruction and your video was perfect. Great detail, safety tips and straight forward directions. Appreciate the time you took to make sure I could see every aspect of what you were doing. I just ordered my parts from Amazon (thanks for the link also) and plan on repairing my dryer next week. I love to try and fix things so I am looking forward to the challenge - with much confidence thanks to you. Keep on uploading!!
Thank you very much.
Thanks! This video is an excellent, comprehensive guide. Very clear and full of useful tips. My dryer was not exactly the same, but used the same bearing kit. The content of this video helped me work through the differences. Thanks again!

Very informative video. If you don't do this for a living, you should. This greatly helped me to fix my elderly neighbors dryer. Much appreciated!

The ONLY TH-cam video I have commented on. EXCELLENT step by step and a great help. Thank you!
My husband and I have no ability to fix or repair things. I prayed and found this video and we fixed our dryer by ourselves!!!
Excellent methodical instruction with helpful hints. Worked great for me even though my dryer configuration was slightly different. I only ended up with one extra screw which I consider a win!
I have bookmarked your video Richard. It took a while to find a video for my exact model and am I ever glad I did. Excellent instructional video, right down to the smallest detail. I have yet to find out the source of the noise in my dryer but this is a great place to start. You know stuff my friend.
Thank your very much for commenting, watching and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.
Thanks again Richard. After removing the front, lo and behold, stuck in the blower fan was a cleenex. The bearing was fine. Without your video, I would have called a repairman. Not sure what the cost would be, but my cost $0.00 and 1/2 hour of my time. Keep the videos coming.
I don't think I've ever commented on a TH-cam video before, but I was compelled with this one. It's the least I can do. Truly a superb instructional video! Replacement went exactly as you showed. When it came to replacing the bearing spindle and trying to hold it in place myself to get the screws in, I was trying to remember how you did that. Ended up calling my wife to hold it in place. THEN I remembered - duct tape! But a fantastic video, Richard. Many thanks. What would us DIYs do without people like you. P.S. everything's more expensive in Canada. Bearing kit was $19.94 with tax at AMRE Supply.
You are most welcome. Thank you so much for your kind comments and great feedback. BTW my dryer was made in Canada. Still going strong. All the best.
I agree with Guy, great video, made fixing my dryer SO easy!
You are most welcome. Thank you very much for watching and the kind comments. All the best.
THANK YOU! That was exactly what I needed. You diagnosed the problem and walked me step by step through the repair. For $10 in parts its like a new machine. Wonderful video. Keep up the good work.
I also have never commented on a TH-cam video however I felt compelled as well.
Amazing very well explained how to video. Thank you

Excellent instructions! I have the same issue with my dryer, a Kenmore though, and I will get it fixed asap. To simplify the removal of the top cover, do not remove the back plates that hold it down; just pop the front and you should just be able to slide it off. Before hooking up the tension spring in the rear, install the belt first then the tension spring. Much easier that way.
Thank you for watching, commenting and the valuable feedback. I appreciate it greatly. All the best. 👍😀
Thank you very much for your step-by-step instruction. My Frigidaire dryer is 20 years old but still running good. I am about to take it apart to clean it and found your clip here very helpful. Again, many thanks.
You are most welcome. I am glad to hear I could help. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Man, you saved my bacon without intending. Started to look what is wrong with my Kenmore HD, and guess what: bearing was completely scratched out. Very clear procedure.
I'm glad to know I could help. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
I just disassembled my GE dryer(Exact same as the Frigidaire!). Was worried I wouldn’t remember where and how everything would go back together! Order the ‘bearing kit’, a new belt(while I’m at it), and new ‘glides’.
Parts arrive this coming Monday! I can’t wait! May I make one small suggestion? Before repositioning the belt onto the pulley....I sought suggest smearing some of the grease on the shaft of the pulley...mine is rolling a little dry and some heavy lubricant couldn’t hurt. Great video, very well thought out and shot(I’m a professional Field cameraman).

Thank you!!! None of the other videos showed this exact model! I really appreciate you making this video! It was so easy to fix!
I'm glad and very happy to know that I could help you. Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the valuable feedback. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
This helped me - I'm doing the same procedure for the exact same Frigidaire.
I'm glad to know I could help. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Thank you very much Sir!!! I’m a superhero now because of you !! I just changed my bearing in less than 90 minutes.
You are most welcome. I am glad to know I could help you to be a superhero. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Great work! Very thorough. I was able to diagnose another problem I was having with my Kenmore Eco using your video. And while I was in there I lubed up my spindle with some high temp grease. Thanks for the great closeups and excellent editing!!
You are most welcome. I am very glad I was able to help you with my video. Thank you very much for watching and the kind comments. Here is a link to the Green Grease 203 Synthetic Waterproof High Temperature Grease At Amazon: amzn.to/2iaWBLX also the bearing kit At Amazon: amzn.to/1nVUqyI for anyone who is looking for it. All the best.
Thank you very much. Video serve as a great guide to fix my dryer. I fixed it by myself following the instructions in this video and very excited now.
Thank you for the video. Helped me fix mine. One thing though. You don't have to unscrew the tops hinges in the back to take the top off. Much easier if you don't actually.
Great vid. I have the exact problem and same dryer. I greased the bearing for now and put it back while i wait for the new bearing. Went ahead and ordered the belt and cleaned out the filter area. It was stuffed with lint.
Thank you very much for watching and commenting.
Just watched this video to replace my drum bearing. Very good tutorial. Made the job super easy. Thanks!!

Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Thank you Sir! This was exactly what my dryer needed and your step by step video was perfectly done.
Awesome video...Its for my exact unit and after your video I am able to break down my entire dryer in 20 minutes. My wife thinks I am some kind of expert...LOL Thanks for all your help your step by step breakdown is perfect.
You are most welcome. I am glad I could help you fix it and make you look good to your wife!. LOL. Thanks for watching and the kind comments. All the best.
Incredibly useful tutorial. Thank you.
...Its worth pointing out, however, that some related models may lack certain convenience-features that the unit in the video had. My dryer, for instance (similar, but had controls on the top of the lid rather than the front) did not have any interior plugs for the wires. So the lid was permanently tethered to the unit, and I had to prop it up on an adjacent pile of boxes while I pulled out the drum. But, other than a few setbacks like that, the bulk of the fix worked just like the video.
Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.
Excellent Video my friend. You really took the time and made a quality instructional video. It was both educational and interesting. Thank you so much for the easy to follow steps. I'm really looking forward to watching more of your video's. Thank you so much.
A huge thanks for the comprehensive video. Well done and no surprises. No squeek! $10!!!! Amazing!!
You, my dear man, is what makes TH-cam great! Thanks for the great instruction. As a single mom with a limited income this is a great tool and money saver!
Thank you. just replaced the same components after reviewing your excellent video.

I, too, have never commented on a youtube video, but WOW. This is great. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. All the best.
Thanks for your excellent instructions! I was able to fix my dryer by following them nearly to the letter. My only deviation? Well, I did nick up my hands a bit on sharp metal. In fairness, you warned me.
You are most welcome. The sheet metal on the inside is not protected unfortunately. I am glad to know I could help. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

Great video of this repair. No need to remove the rear hinges though. Just release the two front clips by pushing in with a plastic putty knife while lifting up on the top and then just lean the top back in place, or remove it completely out of the way.
Again, extremely thorough video and well done!

Best Video Ever! Thank you Richard, the bearing replacement went perfectly thanks to your excellent instructions and camera work.
Amazing video! So detailed and accurate. I never done something so technical before, and was able to follow this step by step and get it done in 2 hours! Thank you Richard!
Thanks Richard couldn't have done it without ya!!!
You are most welcome. Glad I could help. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Great video. I'm not a "fix it" type of person. Mostly because I learn better with my eyes. Your video was AWESOME. I had zero difficulties fixing the drum thanks to your video...HOWEVER...now my dryer isn't working properly. It's heating up, but the exhaust isn't working properly? I put clothes in and left...came back a few hours later and the clothes were warm, but still wet. What the heck did I do? UGH!
Check the exhaust vent pipe in the back. You may have kinked it closed. Thanks.
This is a great video. It was exactly what I needed to repair our dryer. Same brand, Exact same procedure. Very well explained. I love that you explain what the parts are used for and how they are connected. Because ultimately that's what we have to understand to make the repair properly. Thank you!
Now I need to find out why our dryer doesn't heat. -_-
You're most welcome. Comments like this make my DAY! 😁️ I'm glad to know I could help you and that you got value from my work here. I may do a video on diagnosing the the dryer heater circuit on this machine too. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
@@richardlloydusa I will definitely check it out if you make a video on such a diagnosis. I re-opened the machine again to look for problems with the heating element. (The drum was much easier to remove now with the shaft hitch all greased up!) I was worried I would have to buy a multimeter and wreck my brain trying to find where the issue comes from but after opening it I immediately saw where the element coil was severed. So I think it's pretty obvious. Kind of amazing that our machine had TWO problems at the same time. o_O Now to find the part and install it.
That's certainly unusual but those wires get pretty brittle after a while too. Glad you had an easy fix on that one. Check Amazon for the part they will usually have a cross reference to your machine to make sure you are getting the right one Amazon(paid): amzn.to/3nuaxVw Thank you so much for commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Thank you very much for this excellent video, very thorough and easy to follow. good photography. all around great. I noticed that you did not mention the rollers as a potential source of the noise. I have searched for a video on this but have not found one. Do you have another video for roller replacement?
Glad it was helpful! I still have this dryer and have been considering a heating element replacement video and power cord replacement. I will look into doing the rollers too. Thanks for the question. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
Very professional video, nicely done! One of the best (step by step) video's that I've ever seen, & I watch alot of them (ha,ha)Thank you

Excellent video. Detailed step by step instructions
Truly superb video & instructions- clear, detail & complete. Very pleased. Thank you.

Thanks so much for the detailed guide Richard! We have a similar model and I wish I had saved $ on Amazon but had already ordered from Sears direct. Screwing the three screws into the untapped bearing is a pain. Other than that my repair went fine while watching your video.
Thanks for making this very descriptive video. It was very helpfull. Mine was stack mounted so I did it without unmounting. Also, I was not able to get the drum out, so I unscrewed the bearing assembly first. Great video!
Great DIY video. You should be doing this professionally. One additional thing you might want to add is to check the motor is good before you put everything back together. The motor on mine is starting to hum, so I think its time for a new dryer. Adding the motor plus the bearing kit, I'm at 50%. Dryer is 15 years old. Thanks again for a terrific video
You are most welcome. My motor sounded fine after the repair so I did not even think to check. My Father always told me,"If it's not broken, don't fix it." LOL I took everything in the house apart and sometimes lost interest in putting it back together. Thanks for watching and the kind comments.
I just watched your video and I have to say thank you! You just saved me and my family over $400 and that was the cheapest of two quotes. Ok more like $350 because I had to buy the part and a new flexible dryer hose but regardless thank you!
I am sure those three screws that go inside the drum are self tapping, but I used a tap and die set to make the threads. It seemed much easier to put the screws in and also to get them straight.
Very well. Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it. All the best.
I agree to Guy Germain. It is very thorough and helpful. Thank you very much. Appreciate your hard work.
You are most welcome. Glad I could help. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.
very nice, don't worry about losing the screws inside the machine body: the MAGNET will help to fetch them again and you do not need have a long long hand! I just need to watch your video to disassemble the body to clean my dryer, having Kenmore, which is the same basically...thanks!

Thank you so much for this! First time taking on a project like this and I couldn't have done it without this video! Owe ya one!
When we rebuild these we use the grease on the rear of the cup to hold the ball in the hole, works well
great video - you may want to grease the motor shaft where the centrifugal switch moves
Great video! Thank you for making it.

What a great video. I watched it last year to replace the bearing on my Kenmore dryer. Richard, do you know what would be causing a loud humming type noise and vibrations? I don't remember seeing drum rollers. Could it be the idler pulley?
It could be. The drum rotates on felt pads as I remember on the front. I would remove the back access panel and have a look at the belt tension assembly as it's running (keep hands and fingers clear) and see if that's the source. It may be that the pulley is worn out or requires cleaning (shaft and pulley center) I would use some of the grease supplied with the kit but make sure you clean the parts first. I do show how to route the belt in the video (v grooves toward the drum) verify you have that correct as well. Thank you so much for commenting, watching and the very kind words.

This video was very helpful. Thanks a million.
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting. All the best.
Don't need to unscrew the rear brackets. The top can be held vertical and slid off them. I just did mine. Identical machine.
Cool! Thank you so much for watching, commenting and the valuable feedback. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀
