Great video. Just ordered the kit for mine. Thank you
Easy to follow video. I'm 63 and my husband is 70. The repair kit and video allowed us to repair our Dryer. Thank you.
Squeaky dryer caused me to start researching solutions. Husband wanted me to buy a new dryer. No way, I love my current model Speed Queen. Found this very helpful detailed video. When he says be very careful of the door switch wires, trust me BE CAREFUL. Yep, we weren't careful and the switch fell apart. Even though my husband is an electrician, there was no way to put it back together. Bought new switch and this kit. Very easy installation and solved the issue.
bought your kit, replaced the parts today, thank you!
This is everything a YT video should be. Direct, clear instructions, great detail of repair, tips and what to watch out for. Excellent
I bought one of the repair kits and followed the video for my 2017 speed queen dryer. Followed the video and it was really easy to replace both rollers and the idler pulley.
I used 3 in 1 oil to lube the roller axles- 1 drop.
Also what he doesn’t show is the amount of lint in the dryer- I used a wet dry vac with dust bag to clean out the interior and I spent probably 30 min getting all the lint off the parts and motor.
Great video- no surprises and dryer went back together smoothly.
Total time to repair was around 2 1/2 hours. The original roller must have been going bad for a while because dryer is super quiet now.
Fixed mine today after watching this video and ordering the parts from this store. Had to wait for delivery as I'm not in the Cleveland area, but my brother is and I'll be recommending them based off the video alone! Took about an hour total, but I spent a lot of time cleaning as well. As far as the tool to get the bracket off from the video, I used very small needle nose pliers. Probably would have been easier with the tool he recommends, but the pliers worked fine.
Great video/tutorial, kit, and detail. The only thing I would add is for folks to be aware of the sharp edge around the bulkhead. When removing the wires from the lamp, I slipped and ran my hand across the edge and found out that it is quite sharp. Otherwise, great info, and I had great results. Thanks for putting the kit together!
Perfect tutorial! Just successfully replaced the guide wheels, tensioner wheel, shafts, belt, and front guide pads with Loraine Furniture kit. Absolutely no problems. If not for the extended time thoroughly cleaning the inside, this would be literally a 30min project. Thank you for posting this video!
Thank you, thank you! Parts arrived super fast and this tutorial was SPOT ON! My husband and I fixed our dryer in about 30 minutes. I was able to use cuticle nippers for the one tool we didn’t have (retainer clip pliers). Dryer runs like a dream and is now so silent we can’t even hear it run!!! THANK YOU!!
After turning on my Speed Queen dryer, I noticed an irritating noise as it began to spin. Came directly to YT then found your video. Excellent presentation. I'll order the kit and repair mine with your guidance. Thank you.
Thank you for the very helpful video and for your outstanding service. I ordered a SQ rebuild kit from you and my dryer is working better than new roughly 72 hours after ordering on a Saturday afternoon. Used full synthetic oil on the roller axles and the idler pulley shaft (just a smear on my finger's worth). It is quieter than new now. When the machine was new it needed two separate roller replacements within six months. It has been a great dryer and has gone ten trouble free years until recently it started squealing again. The axles were shot so I think anything like oil might help with axle wear. The belt still looked like new as did the drum guides in front, but I agree the kit is worth the money as I don't want to get inside the machine for at least another ten years.
Had our office person ordered parts after watching this video. Works flawlessly and no more noises. Next is to order parts for bearing. Thanks champ
Followed your instructions to the wire. Everything worked great! One of the rollers didn't have the front washer. So it may have led to premature failure. But for 9 years of operation, I'm not too mad about it. Replaced everything since I had the dryer torn down. Run's smooth a silk tonight. Thanks A million.
Excellent tutorial! I purchased the kit from Lorain Furniture, it came super quick. Bonus points for picking up the phone to answer a quick question about shipping.
Even though I quickly located the issue with a bad roller, I decided it would be best to replace all worn parts that were included in the kit. Definitely buy the retaining ring pliers. You could probably get by without it, but it makes life easier.
The most difficult parts of the fix was getting the belt on (had to have my wife lift the drum), and also putting it back together. Some parts got misaligned, and had to play with it a bit. Overall not too bad.
10/10 video. Dryer is running SMOOTH.
Just finished the dryer repair using your parts package. Parts fit perfectly and your tutorial was spot-on! I had one bad roller. Thanks!!
Thank you so much. I have the exact same Speed Queen Dryer and your video was clear and instructions very easy to follow. Took me about an hour. It works perfectly again.
You’re a lifesaver, Thank You! I just gave my dryer a few more years of service thanks to the instructions and link on this video. At first I thought that the parts were a little pricey but in reality the price is for original quality on the parts, all of them fits and works nice and smooth. Having all the parts needed in one package helps a lot to save time and money, otherwise you’d have to find one by one of the parts and probably when you get ready to work on the dryer you’d realize that you forgot some little washer or the belt won’t fit, save your self some headache.
Thank you so much for making this video. The step by step How To was fantastic. I also bought the genuine parts you sell. This made this so much easier for someone like me.
That is the best Do It Yourself video I have ever seen.
Thank you sir for the information. It’s very much appreciated. This shows everything I need to know if my SQ dryer starts acting up.
great video just repaired our dryer in our NICU here at the hospital I work at. It had a safety diaper pin wedged in between the case and the drum. Was squealing very loudly, staff much appreciates the fix!!
I am fixing my '85 dryer - a few years ago I replaced the motor and glides and front felt - making a noise now- found the (?) that is connected to the motor that the belt runs on was loose (need locktite!). your explanation of how the belt is installed is excellent. thank you.
Always a great job by Eugene, didn’t expect anything less.
Convenient timing. We have a late nineties Amana dryer that was a Speed Queen rebranded for them when Raytheon owned both companies, before spinning off the division to Alliance. It just started squeaking yesterday and it's getting worse, will have to pull the front panel off and see if going back that far the parts are still the same or not, but I would be frankly astounded if they weren't.
Excellent video. Very accurate instructions. Purchased the repair kit was very pleased with the parts. Shipping was quick and inexpensive. Everything is working great. Highly recommended.
What a great video , ordered your rebuild kit and it was very easy to replace after watching your video. My dryer is very quiet now . Thank you !
Thank you for the instructions and kit for my SQ dryer. A note on the spring clip pliers... I have one but its pins are slightly too big for the holes in the clips, so that was a struggle taking those clips off and back on. The dryer is working great
Thank you for the video. It was extremely helpful in fixing my dryer.
I just bought my parts for this excellent video. I’m going to tackle it this weekend. Great job very very great instructions for someone who’s not mechanically inclined appreciate the video very much.
Make sure you reuse or replace wavey washer on the rear of the rollers (between roller and support) to reduce play/noise. Suggest ordering three wavey washers when ordering parts as these are hard to find in field, two for the two drum rollers and one for the belt tensioner. Great instructions!
Great video! From one seasoned 35 year tech, I commend your work. You work like do!
Great video showing exactly how to fix this issue. Highly recommend Lorain Furniture.
Thanks! This was so helpful! The replacement spindles have a deeper screwdriver slot, which is helpful. I had to use piece of flat stock to get the stock spindles off as my screwdriver kept slipping. Also mounting the belt to the idler and motor is easy if you reach in on either side of the motor with your left and right hands.
Very good explanative video, directions are suberb, thank you, Ed.
Thanks Eugene for the video. The two Idler wheel kits I got from you last month fixed my 2005 Maytag washers quite well. Now I know, just use one drop of oil on the Idler shafts instead of grease LOL. I see that you are just a few blocks from the Historic house "A Christmas Story" Did you check it out? Each year my wife and I visit a new state while on vacation. Next year if all goes well, we plan to drive to your beautiful state and visit many history places.
Thanks for putting all this together!
Very well done!
I have this dryer and matching washer. Do you carry the front loading washer that matches this dryer? I’m looking for one. My set is only 5 yers old right now but would love to have the front loader as well.
Thank you so much. Wonderful and helpful tutorial 😊
Great video my whirlpool dryer just started to make squeaking noises today when I used it that may be the problem it's brand new
Thanks for sending me these parts and for the video. You made that so easy for me lol
I have a really old Speed Queen. A BE20 model.
Do you know if the blower housing bushing needs lubricant. It was ceased up but a little Kleen-flo 661 PTEE lubricant cleaned the shaft and bushing up. Now I want to put it back together and am wondering if I need high temp lube, no lube or if the 661 will work.
I have to form a seal for the blower housing to the bulkhead and was going to use window weatherstripping but was wondering about the high temp thing again.
Very good video
"courtesy turn" I like that!
What's your top pick for a new stackable washer & dryer? In the market to replace Maytag Maxima. I'm looking for something that will last and that works well! I covet your advice and am grateful for your videos!!!
Thank you for great instructions!!🤙
Perfect Video! Thanks
Brilliant! I wish I'd found your video before taking the back and sides off my dryer! 🙂 I've got to get some parts, but in the meantime, I sprayed some lubricant on the rollers and it has (temporarily) silenced the noise (I bought myself a bit of time!) Thank you for sharing!!!
Finally got my parts and replayed your video a couple times as it was binding upon reassembly... It turned out that I had one of the glides above the drum... easy fix and works great! Thanks again!
Hi great video. I have an AGS68AWF. Is that the right kit? The RB170002 looks right. Dryer repaired three times already. Definitely not commercial quality despite the premium price. Thx!
Thanks!
The internals on these is pretty much the same as some of the older Amanas and Maytags. I really like that the new Samsung dryers have ball bearings on the rollers. Curious to see how long they last.
Do we need grease to as roller
My newer SQ dryer top comes off differently. The control panel stays on, and the rest of the top panel is secured by two screws in the back. Then push the top panel towards the back and it will come off. The drum can barely be removed by lifting the back slightly and pulling out the front, under the control panel. I had ordered the kit and all the parts look good and like they would work, but it turned out I just needed to clean the lint out of the fan. The fan was completely full and probably off balance. The outlet duct also had a lot of lint. I am holding on to the kit for when it is eventually needed.
Mine just started making noise and it has a burn smell to it. Will this video help me solve the problem?
I followed the directions and I did find one wheel that barely turned.
I think its going to work better but I still have a cranky start up noise.
Maybe the motor bearings???
This is for a commercial dryer my tenants say the cranky sound has been there for years
but recently it stopped handling full loads cause of the burnt roller wheels.
I am missing one wavy washer for one of the wheels but i dont think that would cause the cranky grindy startup noise
whatd you think?
Thanks Buddy, this just saved me about $300.00. Much appreciated!
we moved our dryer up stairs - unfortunaltey the guy carrying the dryer dropped it on the end of the stair and the bottom right hand side is cripmed a little bit - I replaced all the rollers and guts - everything works fine - except the door is now no longer touching the switch when you shut the door.
When it's powered on, I can press the door switch with my hand and it will run fine, but I was wondering is there was any way to safely just shim the corner part of the door - it's pressing the switch, the switch function fine, but it's not pressing the switch in all the way when the door is shut, I don't really know I can get it closer messing around with the pannels due to the dryer being dropped.
If it was anything other than the dryer I'd just glue or tape something on the door so it makes deeper contact with the switch, my only concern was if that would ever fall off it could melt into clothes or possibly catch fire - I suppose something like a small dot of JB weld would work fine, any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated.
Again the switch is fully funtional, properly wired and working, but the door isn't making full contact with it because the dryer frame is slightly bent.
Hi. So if my dryer is squeaking from time to time it a roller ?
Hello,my dryer display error n5 during cycle what could be the course
Great video. Can you tell me if your kit will work on 92 Speed Queen AG943911 ser# 9204024790. I didn’t know I could change the front guilds? Would you have the parts I need to quite this old dryer down?
So if I got to the step where I take the top off and the tumbler instantly drops, is it because the belt isn’t holding enough tension?
What about graphite?
The plastic housing (where the lint trap is) that connects to the blower motor, vibrates and is very noisy. Have you ever ran into that? If I take the bottom front cover off and push on the plastic housing, the sound goes away. All three screws holding it in are very tight.
I just ordered your kit. What type of oil spray to the roller? Thanks
We use Liberty Clock Oil.
Here is a way to get extralong life out of your rollers and belt deflector. Before installing new ones, I suggest soaking the bearing material in oil for a day. I've done this by taping over one side of the bearing and laying it flat on that side. Then I pour oil (not wd40, but a thicker oil than wd40) into to opening and let it sit for a day. Some bearings believe it or not, actually absorb oil. I am not an expert, so I do not know for sure that these bearings are of the sintered type. Before using this routine, my rollers would wear out very fast. I don't exactly remember how many months I got out of a set, but I do remember that the first set was replaced under warranty on my unit that was purchased in 2011. I think it was 3 years for the original and then 3 years for the first replacement installed without using this oil technique. I know the last time I installed new rollers was in 2017 (this being January 2024). They are still working fine. However, I took them out yesterday and the shafts were starting to wear so this dryer was just about to start squeaking. So I would say you can get 5 to 6 years when oiled well at installation time. I am thinking that in 5 years I should try to just oil these bearings and see if they would last indefinitely. However, getting oil back to those bearings (including the belt deflector) still on the dryer is not going to be easy.
Will this kit work on my Speed Clean Heavy Duty Dryer (model No. ADG3SRGS115TWO01)purchased in 2019?
Yes it will
So this is exactly like the old Amana dryers that were made by Maytag in the early 2000s or so
I had the same thought of deja vu when I watched this! I had an Amana dryer with a computer control panel that was a great machine, but alas the control panel went out and its replacement cost was more than a new Speed Queen dryer.
Although this is a very good, clear video, folks need to be aware of significant differences in construction among SQ dryers. On my 40-yr-old SQ HG4509 dryer, the mounting brackets for the two drum drive pulleys are welded to the rear bulkhead -- they can't be removed. You therefore cannot remove the shaft unless you find a way to squeeze a box-end behind the bracket and struggle to work it loose. The pulleys themselves do not have the wavy washer on them: instead, they have thicker, gasket-like pad washers -- it's not clear to me that the replacements are spaced correctly for this model, but they did fit. Second, in many cases the noise you hear is unrelated to the parts in this kit -- when the drum felt seals front and/or rear give out, the thing will scrape very, very loudly. The kit doesn't include the felt seals, which actually can be difficult to find for older models. Finally, the drum glides on my model are not removable felt pads -- the front bulkhead panel has two permanent mounts that have brake-pad-gasket quality pads clamped in-between screwed-down holding clamps. The kit's pads and clamps are not compatible with this model.
If I were to put oil on the shafts. I would use either 3 in 1 oil. Sewing machine oil. Or air tool oil using a cotton swab/Q Tip. Very slight amount.
Will your kit work for speed queen model ADG4BRGS115TW01?
What are the first two digits of your serial number?
I have a speed queen that's different than yours. Will this work for all speed queen dryers?
It fits every SQ dryer made after 1992 up to current. If you look at your serial number, the first two numbers are the year it was built. (Eg: 98= 1998, 01=2001, 12= 2012 etc)
Is this in stock? I'll need to put an order in my SQ, which is making a crazy squeal while running
@@Thiscarpenter yes we have them in stock and they will ship next business day
What kind of oil are you using?
This is the exact oil that we use:
amzn.to/3nVIphI
Whys this speed queen look identical to my ancient Performa dryer?
How did you get the parts of speed queen doesn't sell to you anymore?
I just wanna open the goddamn door. It's brand new!!!
mine is brand new- it makes a rumbling/rubbing noise and shuts off----brand new----its in the motor area. there isn't any "packing" or shipping brackets---nothing. I am sure there is a loose nut or some styrofoam in there- the last thing I want to do is work on this dumb thing.
This SQ dryer is just like a MAYTAG...
Next time when you upload a video try to add more advertisements these are very much less.
Thanks!
I appreciate it!
