Default How to replace drum rollers
Model Number: ale866saw   Brand: Amana   Age: 5 - 10 years   

I recently replaced the belt. The dryer started making a squeaking sound and in time eventually started getting louder and was making a rumbling noise. I took front off and seen the one drum roller is broke. How do I replace them and should I replace the idler pulley while I'm doing all this work?

As long as the shaft isn't bent you can probably replace just the rollers. If in doubt replace the other part as well.

I would replace the idler pully too. To replace the rollers, on the one to the right just cut the nylon triangle clip, that holds the roller in place, and the one on the left, you have to take the 5/16 screw that holds the bracket to the base, and then wiggle the bracket off, and the tab, that holds on the top part will come off with it. Then cut the nylon, triangle clip off that one, and replace. Tom ApplianceEducator.com
