DIY & Home Improvement

There are usually rollers, little rubber wheels, that the drum rests on as it spins, & eventually the bearings in those wear out & sometimes make a godawful squealing sound when the dryer runs. That usually happens about the time that the belt needs to be replaced.

After fixing a few dryers for customers I've learned to replace the rollers & belt at the same time, that way I don't end up replacing one & having them call me back some months later to fix the other. It's easier & cheaper for them if I just replace both while I have it apart, then it's good to go for years.

Or until the "door open" sensor switch fails, I've replaced a ton of those on dryers, washers, & microwaves. If you're handy with a screwdriver they're easy to replace & available on Amazon.
