this 49 second video, played 50 times, just saved me about $250. Only had to buy the silicon lubricant. Thanks you !!!

[@brutongaster8184]

I got a dryer for free a couple weeks ago because of this problem. I took it all apart and had a great time learning how everything inside works and then found the problem and was able to give it to my sister! Lots of fun . Lots of good information on an electric dryer repairs from guys like this

[@macmcclanahan6626]

Just learned something! Silicone over graphite. Thank you. Got one eating idler pulleys.

[@JohnSmith-xu7ev]

Ive tried grease, it was a mistake. It gummed up and it makes the wheel want to seize up

[@Vitafiend]

I mean like graphite is pretty commonly used in lockpicking, works alright

[@ProleDaddy]

​@@JohnSmith-xu7ev I also used grease, chassis and bearing automotive kinda grease. It started squealing again after maybe a year or so. Not a very long-term lubricant for this application. The factory bushings are sintered bronze, which has oil sucked into the pores that continually wicks out during heating cycles. It eventually runs out and dries up. I'm not so sure this 3 in 1 all temp silicone is going to be long-term either.

[@JohnSmith-xu7ev]

@@ProleDaddy Im going to buy the better oem replacement parts from this one website. Those kits on ebay only last a year. The other problem i had is with the rubber. They would vibrate too much, sounds like you are drying a pair of shoes

I agree! Kenmoor/sears used to have every part in existence and a service proceedure listed online for everything.

Great video!! Just fixed my daughters dryer with some silicone oil…one of the wheels was stuck.. cleaned and lubricated everything.. pouring like a cat!! Thanks for your video, Sir!!

[@kovxxx71]

Been watching these videos for the last few weeks, I just love them. Went to dry clothes last night don’t hear the gas igniting! I want to fix it before my husband gets home on Monday. Not sure where to start, my laundry room is tiny, so it’s hard to move it around to take the back off… smh

[@derrickwith2rs]

Awesome and thanks for watching! just be very careful when trying to repair gas appliances without much experience, def can be dangerous!!

[@Warmfireandtea]

don't mess with that.

[@ProleDaddy]

The most common thing is the gas coils, at least on older models like mine (which are the most reliable). They're electromagnetic coils that actuate the gas valve. They're dirt cheap from my experience. You can test them with by unhooking the wires and using a multimeter to ohm them out. KZbin knows all about it.

[@NotMe-ej9yz]

Today I learned there are gas dryers.... That sounds like a really bad idea lol

[@ProleDaddy]

@@NotMe-ej9yz I'd expect your house is heated by burning gas as well.

Graphite spray is AWESOME for door hinges if you don’t mind a little gray dust. It’s also great for pocket knives.

[@nicholaswilson2155]

Love this guy. Learned a skill and ran away with it. Good work ethic goes a long way, especially these days

[@mescko]

Totally went through my old Roper about 10 years ago. F & R bearings, belt, idler, rollers, everything but the motor, still have the new element just in case. Still runs smooth and quiet, 40+ years on. Just wish I could buy a new timer, it's usually the first NLA part.

[@dominiqueraymond2174]

Thank you. I had bought a belt and lubricated one of the wheels and thought it was fixed. There was no noise for three loads. But then the noise came back. I hope this helps 🤞🏾

[@rebeccamccullah188]

it's a laundromat for you. great side hustle for you because you'd have only your time in maintaining it. that's 1 big chunk of overhead. since it would always be in great condition you'd get most of the area's business. 💪 GOD BLESS YOU 🙏❤ ALL

I had a late 80s Maytag belt-driven dryer(yard sale,$10) that was fantastic.I had to replace the belt twice,cleaned the open areas yearly and it lasted YEARS.

[@Your32Maker]

Those dryers are easy to work on... just recently upgraded from a 28 yr old GE gas dryer to a Smart Samsung dryer... belt, coils, igniter, seals were replaced at least once, rust got the best of it....

Silicone, got it. Thank you so much! I had to repair a dryer where the rollers were squeaking, and I didn’t know what to lubricate them with, so new rollers. I ALMOST didn’t watch this 😅.

[@adriancamacho79]

Great Video! I have a similar dryer with a bad roller. Watching this i was able to find the issue. Parts on its way! Thanks for making this!

[@cndvd]

Total Rust restoration and roller belt kit. I put silicone on the roller shaft and it was quiet for a while, but then soon after the shaft started rusting then squeaking loud, I’m guessing since I saw the light rust. So I cleaned and put car axle grease lightly and no noise but got a slight rotating thump or knock. ??? So I went out and bought a new dryer that matches my new washer, was so happy cause it matches. My restored dryer works, just don’t know when the noise will pop up with new parts, come and go squeaks, thump, weird noise, then goes away… oh well destined for a new one.

[@VAKUL-DC]

Thanks for all your videos. What is your favorite washer, dryer brand diy maintenance wise ?

I had a Whirlpool washer dry set from 1987 last till 2013 the rollers went out I temp fixed them with 2 inch washers and a old spark plug socket , till I could get a set , took 10 days . not 2 weeks after the washer pump went out, Both are still being used today . I been fixing stuff from age 17 . lot of people have no clue that things can be fixed .

This was just a band aid for me. Worked for a few months then started up again. The kit that includes both wheels, a belt and the tensioner was only 24.00 on Amazon. Easy to replace too.

I have one that was in a laundry mat they removed and replaced them with new. The guy who removed them tuned it up for me and I’ve had it since 1975 and I have an extra belt extra motor for it when it goes out. Best of all, I can take this apart and fix it myself.

The strip is called a bearing, even though it's not made of metal.

[@robbyorr122]

Why would my dryer not shut off when it’s done and all the lights shut off. The only way to shut it off is by opening the door or unplugging it. And then out of no where it starts working fine again until it does it again. It’s happening more frequently. Thank you very much for what you do.

Had a repair tech replace the felt thing on the drum. He charged me so little by my perspective that I tipped him an additional $50. Knowledge is valuable. He was able to do something within 30 minutes that would have taken me hours and that’s if I didn’t fuck something up just getting to the problem. This was in the 90’s and internet was non-existent in my world. KZbin didn’t exist yet.

how long does the silicone lubricant last? Should it be applied on a regular basis? I am about to change the rollers on a Whirlpool Duet that I bought used. I was told the rollers are making a horrible noise. Thanks

[@SweetGlitter1309]

Question. Is it bad to leave your dryer squeaking? It doesn’t bother me and I don’t really have the desire to take my dryer apart to “fix it.” I’m ok with leaving it like that if it doesn’t hurt it.
