Dryer Repair

mbgrdido · #1 (**permalink**) 03-25-2009, 10:47 AM

What I call the idler pulley went out on our dryer so I decided to replace it. While I had the dryer apart I replaced the drum rollers also. When I put everything back together the front of the drum now rubs on the blower housing and it makes a thumping noise. I didn't see any adjustment to raise up the drum.

When I was taking apart the dryer in order to remove the drum I had to loosen up the right front lower drum glide, but again I didn't see any adjustment that would allow me to raise up the drum in this area.

Please help the wife is wanting me to fix ASAP.

Make sure both glides (#3 on the diagram) and felt pads (#2) are in place. Unfortunately felt pads are no longer available and if you lost them it could be very serious problem.

Here are the break down diagrams and Replacement parts for MAYTAG MDET236AYW | AppliancePartsPros.com
