Why is my dryer screeching
How to fix a squeaky noisy dryer
0:00 / 0:00
Timecodes:
okay this is the inside of a this is a
Maytag dryer but they were all basically
the same and this has a lot of squeaky
noise and so there's really just very
few parts that can cause the squeak and
so what you want to do is go to each one
of these wheels and spin it make sure it
spins freely so now one doesn't spin
freely so I'm gonna guess the device the
problem one then there's also this
pulley here and that's pretty stuck as
well so I might have multiple yeah
that's pretty bad that doesn't really
move at all
and then if you're in there take a look
at your belt if there's any cracks but
they do get stretched out over time this
one looks pretty good but to take off
any of those parts really gonna want a
tool like this these are retaining ring
pliers come with these bits for
different sized retaining rings and the
retaining rings are what hold these
wheels in place so you need a couple of
those or that tool to take it off to
switch the parts okay so I ended up
buying a whole kit just with all the
wheels and as you can see I mean this
one wasn't bad anyway but quiet much
better here as well and this one spins
actually as well
this needs tension on it so another
thing you want to replace if you're
gonna replace it all are these here
these are the glides for the drum this
is actually the front of the dryer from
the inside there's two glides and these
wear down eventually so you want to
replace those okay so this is the motor
that copper part that you see and then
the very end on the left is the the
wheel or the belt connects to and then
there's a pulley that's attached your
spring
up here above is the drum and the belt
goes all the way around the drum and if
you have a v-shaped belt which is this
one it's got grooves in it you want to
make sure it lines up the right way
there are grooves on the motor wheel
that spins the belt now the the part
that may be confusing or you may think
you've got too big of a belt you
actually don't the belt needs to be
looped under the the pulley that you see
that's attached to the spring so I'm
going to put my camera down hook it up
and then show you okay so this is the
proper way to install your belt for your
dryer it loops around the wheel of the
motor loops all the way around the drum
but it actually comes under the pulley
so it puts tension on the pulley and it
also puts tension on the belt that
allows it I'll go ahead and grab the
drum as you can see it's not totally
seated so it's kind of falling but as
you can see when the belt moves when the
drum moves the motor moves so when you
have it plugged in the reverse will be
happening the motor will be moving and
that tensioner is holding tension on the
belt which in turn holds tension on the
drum so hope that helps that's how you
put the belt on a dryer the rest is
pretty straightforward thanks for
