Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts… Our dryer had been out of commission for about four years maybe even longer… We got into the habit of drying everything on a rack outside because we live in a very hot state… Your video helped us discover our lint filter was occluded with a sock and several Dryer sheets!! You saved me $800 and I cannot thank you enough
I just finished completing the same part swaps you did, using this video exclusively as a guide. Taking a relatively daunting and complex task and breaking it down into manageable steps. Likely added some life to this dryer. Well done and much appreciated!
Thank you for a very detailed instructions to replace roller wheels. You are a very good teacher and you have taken a great deal of time to make this video for people like me who likes to do it ourselves.
Thank you for the video. There were some differences in my Kenmore Elite (such as 6 rollers, number of screws and locations, etc.). I used your video for a majority of the repair process (pausing every step🙂.) It really helped. My dryer almost like new. Sent the video to my wife at work when it was completely disassembled. She asked if I can you put it back together? Jokingly, I said no. Then she said to buy a new dryer. Turned on the newly repaired dryer when she arrived and thanked me for buying her a new dryer so quickly. She couldn't tell the difference because it was so clean, lint free and very quiet. Thank you again for making the video.
I was super intimidated to do this on my own. I’m a house wife and it scared me to open up my dryer, but your video was hands down the guide I needed to turn that intimidation into production. lol just waiting on my wheels and will finish fixing my dryer on my own thanks to you. Really appreciate you doing this video!
Thank you so much for making this video!!! I saved so much money fixing my dryer by myself!!! The step by step of this video was amazing!! I’m a visual learner so I don’t know what I would have done without this video!! Thanks again?
Thank you for sharing your video! I too had a same back roller but it seized up and ground off a quarter of the wheel. The step by step was great. I was able to use pliers to hold the nut to back panel cut outs.
Yo, WJ Handy Dad, Dido to all the accolades, you deserve them for taking the time and effort to make this video. I went for it this weekend as well; it was a blast. Perfectly quite now. I don’t think I would have tried it without your help/video (same model). “One screw left” not bad………..Thanks so much...ck
Ive worked on very expensive cars for work and this is not poor engineering its intended to keep us out IMO... Thanks there were a few bits I was not sure about.
@@WJHandyDad There is no way its not intentional Im pretty sure LG makes them.. Thanks for posting the video it made it way easier and Ill take the $40 and my time VS whatever that would have cost I doubt it would have been cheap..
13:15 time stamp, you dont have to remove the whole hose, in the back of your dryer there should be this plastic cover that you can open like an oven door, then from there you will have access to where the hose connects. The hose should have this plastic lock which you can squeeze and pull out and it should just click back in as well once you put it back. Thank you for this in depth tutorial, I used it to fix our dryer which had a knocking sound. One of the rollers went bad and metal shaving was all over the dryer. Our dryer is 14 years old and all that lint inside looked like carpet. Definitely a fire hazard.
@@josevillaman183 it must have slipped through the cracks. That happens every once in a while - I might film several videos in a weekend and then forget to edit and upload one of them. I'll try to get it done soon.
hello and thanks kindly for the great video. can i ask if you have any idea why when trying to remove that lint trap housing, my machine, which looks exactly like yours has only 2 screws. i do not see that third screw that you describe and show toward the middle of the housing. and i cannot remove that piece, nor the blower housing from below thanks
I got that check filter whenever the ducting in the house was clogged (which was regularly with this dryer - way too much lint got past the screen). Not heating up probably means heat element.
Do you know if this kenmore elite dryer starts if i toss a batch of dry clothes in there? Or do I need the clothes to be damp in order to test start a cycle?
@@WJHandyDad replacing my belt now, im at the step to put the shield back on, but as soon as i do the drum gets “stuck” and impossible to turn by hand. Whereas you were able to turn it easily as a quality check. Does the drum sit radially along the wheel tread, or co-axially along the side?
@@oscartan1389 it seemed to me like it fit together very logically when I did it. But it should definitely turn smooth and easy. Make sure you have the belt routing right too
@@WJHandyDad all fixed now thanks! I rewatched the video more carefully and needed to get the drum over the front wheels, my mistake was not getting it fully over which clamped down the wheels. Thanks again!
@@WJHandyDad It ended up working, only need to take out the screws to the metal drum shield, and left the metal stamped part + plastic lint basket attached. Took it all out as one piece. The downside is, you wouldn't be able to clean it out as you recommended in the video (it does get dirty). But I took that trade-off for time.
unfortunately I can never save that step because ours always needs to be cleaned, even if I cleaned it recently. That thing gathers up lint so much faster than any dryer I had previously
