Frigidaire Stacked Laundry with a Noisy Dryer

Watch in amazement as the Samurai shows the culprit behind a noise complaint with this Frigidaire stacked laundry unit. It requires a little bit of disassembly, but sometimes that's necessary when you know what to look for. Also, the Samurai finds the sneaky cause of a problem where the dryer wouldn't turn off.

Hey Samurai Repairman... Thanks for the great video which will ultimately help me decipher the squeak within my mom's washer/dryer combo. Very much appreciated and better than some of the other videos I've looked at.

[@picho5553]

Hello what is the exact name of the part you replaced please?

[@AppliantologyOrg]

Glad the video helped! Please share with your friends. :)

[@AKCenglishbulldogs]

very helpful video. I was wondering why my Frigidaire was making all that squeeking sound. Thank u so much for the great info.

[@ISLEaxe]

Very good video on this stacked washer/dryer repair. Can't find much videos on stacked unit repairs which can be challenging at times.

[@DAILEYericCaryUSA]

You are brilliant. Good video producer also. Many thanks. It was a joy to view this video.

a big drum full of load stands just on small plastic bearing unbelievable engining

[@rickharty9757]

Replacing the bearing on a Kenmore requires access to the back of the dryer. There is a backing plate and ball that need to be held on the back in order to screw the new bearing in place. I used a piece of tape to secure the ball from the bearing side until I could get it secured. Like you said, I could not replace the drum without removing the top of the dryer. In fact, I could not remove the drum until I removed the three bearing screws. It would have been easier to remove the top of the dryer prior to removing the drum. I loosely draped the belt over the drum before inserting it back into the bearing. I could then reach in and, while holding the tensioning bar, run the belt around the motor and tensioning pulley. After replacing the upper drum guide and felt , it was difficult to put the front panel back on. I first removed the door and then worked from the top, screwing the top corner screws in loosely and then worked the drum into the front panel. I discovered that the felt (Seal-basket lower) was in decent shape after I disassembled the dryer, but put the new one on anyway - since I had ordered it.

Mine doesn’t screech, it’s just loud like it has too much in it but it doesn’t. I don’t know how to really explain it but it’s not screeching loud it’s just loud like it’s heavy. It works, turns, & dries very wel for an older stack but It’s frustrating to even turn on. :/

[@Evrydyryder]

How much was the repair and where did you get the parts?

[@boom192channel]

Maybe show how to take it apart?

[@barbararussell897]

You are great,, I think I am going to buy the Fridgidair laundry center, and hope it doesn't get noisy.. I wish the appliance guru lived in my area so he could fix it if it does. thanks for the good info.

[@wayneloustel9474]

How do you disasemble to get at all of this

[@jpzehner]

That's the question. Thanks for asking.

[@fredhinds9836]

Thanks for the video! That was exactly my problem.

[@RealJorgePerez]

As much as your video helped me, It also made me vary dizzy,...thanks,...

[@mommytweety7157]

I'm having difficulty getting the bearing ball out of the socket. Any suggestions?

[@cgaccount3669]

Wondering if the drum bearing itself just pops out of the socket? Or is there a screw or something holding it in. I don't want to just rip it out but I can't find information on how it's removed.

[@mommytweety7157]

I'm having the same difficulty of taking the bearing out of the socket.

[@Hollywoodjedi]

How does one disassemble the dryer buzzer on a Frigidaire Stacked Laundry-Commercial Heavy Duty - Super Capacity - Sound Silencer - 3/4 HP Motor - Gallery Series? It is so frickin' loud that it literally will cause my entire family to jump each and every time it goes off. Please help.

[@hoywendell]

What is that black block peice called that screw into the bottom of the top panel? Its in the middle. Doesn't show in the diagrams. Is it a shipping block for the dryer?

[@herbb1523]

hi thanks for the info I replaced everything inside Rear bearing,arm,belt,felt and my machine is still loud ? the motor seems to run good but can it be greased or oiled? Not sure what else to do to fix noise?

[@herbb1523]

I figured it out.. Had lint accumulating on one side of my blower fan, the motor of balance..cleaned it out RUNS GREAT

[@benchurch1309]

@@herbb1523 where is the blower fan

[@andrewwilson9494]

Really great info. I am wondering if I can squirt some lube into the cup without full tear down? What do you think?

[@aw8897]

Usually the cup makes noise because it's worn down, just finished doing mine and replaced the ball bearing with a kit that's about 26 bucks which comes with grease, lub, new hardware, ball and bearing.

[@AppliantologyOrg]

Andrew Wilson Hi Andrew. As Aldreth stated, replace the rear bearing and cup assembly for the proper repair that'll last you for many years without having to bandaid it along.

[@andrewwilson9494]

SamuraiRepairman Yeah I was afraid you would say that. : ) It is in such a tight space (stackable) and it is only me and I am not sure that I can muscle it out and disassemble, repair, and replace without major back pain or worse. But you have given really good advice. Do it right rather than bandaid it along.

[@thomasriccio4873]

I have the same problem very tight space

[@helencloud7428]

How much does this cost?

[@rubenvasquez6102]

i got a kenmore stackable my dryer stop spinning what can i check

[@Gromitdog1]

why not just add more grease? I'm assuming its a silicone based grease, an automotive brake caliper slider pin grease should work fine.

[@Syncrogreg]

Can I do this job from the front of the machine or do I need to pull it out of the corner?

[@AppliantologyOrg]

Yes, you'll need access to the back to mount the retaining plate for the bearing cup.

[@jonadgo9050]

hi same froblem but is on washing machene pls helf me thnks

[@skmc6915]

Thanks for this.

[@allanlang7332]

Need to show how to disassemble and get the drum out and back in

[@anastasi2012]

Allan Lang And that is why this video is redundant

[@LaserrSharp]

My dryer makes a heartbeat type rhythmic sound every turn ... bam boom bam boom ... I don't know what it could be. Any idea? Thank you.

[@seamonstersounds]

Mine too - one clunk per cycle of the drum. Presumably you figured out what the problem was with yours? Thanks.

[@LaserrSharp]

@@seamonstersounds Screws that attach the drum to the flange were loose. I took the drum assembly out and tightened them. No more noise.

[@AppliantologyOrg]

Can you hear me now?

[@504ksh]

Awesome 👌🆒️

[@19voodoo69]

Sounds good!

[@killmore75]

I just oiled my dryer from behind without opening.

[@MStar10]

killmore75 how did you do that (get access) ? And What specific oil product did you use?

[@mwwhatever]

I did the same thing cuz i'm cheap, but motor oil seemed to work quite well. It's designed for high heat

[@thomasriccio4873]

How?
