Great,

I like that idea, Give it a go !!!

Once you get your manual and parts, and are ready to go,

If you run into a problem, or don't understand something, drop us a line.

Good Luck,
:) :) :)

Fawn eyes,

You're at the wrong end...

You have to access that bearing from the front, that's why I said it was involved.

Yes the service manual will walk you through the teardown procedure and repair/ replacement of the part.

It'll come in handy in the future, if anything else goes wrong.
And we can always answer any question you'd have.

Good Luck,
:cool: :cool: :cool:

Thanks in advance for any and all help. My dogs will really thank you; they are going nuts when I dry clothes! ~


Fawn Eyes,

I'm sure you're going to need a rear drum bearing kit.

Part number: AP2044401
Part number: AP2044401


This part is the most common noise issue on this style dryer.

Does the noise seem to be comming from the back of the machine ?

It's an easy repair, but it is an involved repair. but doable.
