Topgun, Very simillar access procedure, of course no tub boot to contend with, however, once you get the door, front panel, and top retainer bracket/screws off, you'll need to remove the front tumbler support and door openning shroud, 4 screws,(there's more than that) holdind the assembly to the cabinet front frame. Once you have the support removed look down inside the blower assembly, for lint or a cracked / broken vane on the blower wheel, turn the front drum support around and check the condition of the front drum glides. Remove the tumbler and check the two rear rollers, idler pulley and belt condition. I'm pretty sure you can handle that, Good Luck, :) :) :)

I didn't catch the remark about more screws than 4, so removed support and shroud as 2 pieces. Came off ok that way but had to assemble them together before installing,after several attempts with them individually. Blower wheel was packed with lint so tight it came out like pressed felt. JOE, thank you very much for your response and for sharing you expertise. Works fine now. No expense and not a lot of time or effort. This for is greatly appreciated in this household.

Topgun, I learned about the shroud screws, the hard way, myself. We're glad you were able to solve the problem, and at no cost to boot. It was a pleasure to assist you. Good Luck, :D :D :D
