The belt broke in my gas dryer and I will replace the belt & belt pulley/tensioner for sure… wondering if I should also replace these parts while I’m in there:
-drums rollers? and their shafts?
-rear drum felt seal?
-front drum seal?
-door seal?
-anything else??
Your advice is appreciated. Please see model specs/diagrams… It’s a “gas whirlpool style” version 1, is old but heats well, motor is good, and everything else works. I already looked up the “how to’s” and parts.
make: Kenmore, model # 110.87692100, serial # M6350 2337.
I would check all the items you listed for wear / slop.
If OK I would not replace them. A drop of oil on the roller shafts will not hurt but just a drop as oil collects lint.
Also the front glides/drum support.
OOPS! Just reread my post to you and noticed the way I added the sentence about the front glides could be interpreted that i am recommending putting oil on these. I am NOT recommending oiling these.
The glides should just be checked for wear and replaced if necessary.
They jumped into my mind at the end of my reply so I just jotted down a sentence.
I better start paying more attention when I read my reply’s before posting.
Sorry if this caused any confusion.

Thanks Denman, I didn’t take it that way, I realize you meant to lightly lube the rollers at the shaft only. Haven’t bought the parts and fixed it yet… will post when done. Thanks again for your advice
