I replaced the belt in mine 40 years ago when I was a young single Mom,pre internet. I was quite proud of myself and couldn't have afforded to pay someone!
same here ! i live alone since 17 and fixed mine the other day thanks to him 😎 felt very rewarding ! my belt snapped and it needed a good cleaning that's for sure (i pulled 2 wood nails and 4 screws out of the lint catcher)LOL
@@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.
@@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
You are a great guy, going from your videos of course, and I truly appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge and congratulate you on having made something of your life and finding purpose, helps those of us that haven't found it yet feel better. 👌
The time that me my uncle and my dad took apart my dryer cuz it was squealing very very loud it was full of lint and one of the rollers were flat cuz all the hair just wrapped around the rolling part and just made it stop so I put a level on it and it was level
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
I cleaned mine out replaced the wheels and replaced all the liners on the drum and the ones in the back where the vent cover is idk what you call any of that but the dryer works like new again… I tell people at least once every 6mths or once a year clean out the dryer and clean out there washer machine Doing so will give the appliances a longer life span
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
This is why I prefer basic washers and dryers. Easy to work on. Everytime I go to Lowe's and see those fancy-shmancy washers and dryers, I'm like "F*ck that!". And I prefer my appliances not to be made by companies that also make TVs, tablets, cell phones, Etc. The worst, in my opinion, is Samsung! 🤪
Grqphite dry lubes don't stay where you put them. Silicone lube works it's way into the parts and belts you try to lubricate. Fact. Grqphite is great for locks and semi-stationary mechanical devices but running wheels and gears... Uhuh.
@derrickwith2rs my whirlpool gas dryer will no longer heat. Can you please point me in the right direction. I don't have $ to pay someone or get new dryer.
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
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. UA-cam knows all about it.
I use a rattle can paint from any hardware store called Appliance Epoxy. It's a perfect color match and needs little to no prep, it sticks to glossy surfaces
Tell me how to flip appliances when you turn a 1994 Kenmore elite washer for a 1300 profit. Rebuilt with milk stool, trans, brake, clutch, motor, and drain pump.
How about a video on replacing that felt strip that lines the edge of the drum. Oh and how about when the dryer casing that seemed to serve as a coin bank?
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.
That dryer is worth maybe 50 to150$ its rusted, dented, scratched, its not worth fixing, no the dryer is not going to be like new after... usually the paint wears off pretty fast and smells are hard to remove, and get places you cant clean, bugs, shouldn't really use it for clean clothes
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen, but it’s really quick. Do you have a longer video little more in-depth? I don’t have that much space do I have to take out that whole drum?
i know it might not be the best video to ask, but...how can be clean up the washing machine tub basket? (the outside too where we can't clean without taking it apart).
Bro are you the guy that went to the STATE PEN AND YOUR POSITIVE ATTITUDE TAUGHT YOU THIS TRADE AND YOUR DOING GREAT…BEAT ODDS OF NOT REV YOUR PAROLE. THAT famous TV GUY “ Dirty Jobs” should honer you. IF THATS YOU YOUR FRIKEN AWSOME AND INSPIRATIONAL…
Hey Love these videos Thank you Can you tell me wtf is up with front load Electrolux dryers Brand new, just installed in July, it takes 84 minutes to dry a load Spent a fortune on it Totally disappointed Thanks in advance Jules
Have this Kenmore dryer. Made the mistake of throwing some shoes in there, then it started making a squealing, rumbling, grinding noise. Changed out the tensioner and wheels. Noticed the bearing shaft had some grooves in it like some sand got caught in there and rubbed deep grooves into it. But I haven’t changed out the belt. Doing that tomorrow before I tackled the shaft. Grinds when clothes are wet and heavy. Goes away when they start drying. Also, my air only feature doesn’t work. All others do. It went out after I replaced the wheels and was testing it by holding the door switch and hitting start. Worked the first few times then it stopped. What’s up with that? Anyone know?
I got an 80 series washer and dryer, I absolutely refuse to replace, especially with any of these new high efficiency crap washers that constantly break and have maintenance issues.
So you can repair any washer and dryer pretty much?? That hasn't been tampered with?. Because I see many on the road and just call a buddy I know who picks up scrap
I desperately need help on my washer and I’m at the point of asking for help in the UA-cam comments, the touch screen style buttons stoped working and I have no money to replace it. I don’t know the make or model and got it from a family member.
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.
A shoe string from a pair of shorts got caught on dryers and it was stuck until the belt broke. I replaced the belt and it won't spin or spins to slow. How can I put more tension on the belt? Thank you.
I cleaned the idler pulley arm and inside of the wheel bushing, used 3 in 1 dry silicone and the squeak came back within a day check the idler pulley, and it was seized. Any ideas as to why that happened again so quickly?
Re selling your name. I built up a good handyman business in my small town. When I said I would guarantee my work for 90 days I guaranteed it and was always there to make it right. Word gets around in a small town.
I wish you ad your business in my town. I don't know why, but something is blocking the hot water from being able to go into the washer. So I have the hot water hose hooked up to the cold water connection in the back of the washer, and I always set it to cold.
Flipping appliances is so easy. Issue is getting customers. And you def need a shop to fix and resell them. Fitting just a three sets and a few refrigerators will take up a whole room. Don’t even bother doing it out of a storage room you’ll most likely get banned letting in all those random people.
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
I wish I could squirt you to fix my washer it's something to do with the top where the buttons are it went all like a low grade fireworks, my tire just needs a heating element sometimes you have to push it along get it started. But oh well

Is this person going to reply or?
Just learned something! Silicone over graphite. Thank you. Got one eating idler pulleys.
Ive tried grease, it was a mistake. It gummed up and it makes the wheel want to seize up
I mean like graphite is pretty commonly used in lockpicking, works alright

Thanks man, ore informative than a 15 minute video I just watched.
this 49 second video, played 50 times, just saved me about $250. Only had to buy the silicon lubricant. Thanks you !!!
I agree!
Kenmoor/sears used to have every part in existence and a service proceedure listed online for everything.
Keep the videos coming. Single mom and I Like to take care of things instead of hiring someone.
I have taken apart hundreds of dryers. His info is good.
You are a great guy, going from your videos of course, and I truly appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge and congratulate you on having made something of your life and finding purpose, helps those of us that haven't found it yet feel better. 👌

Graphite spray is AWESOME for door hinges if you don’t mind a little gray dust. It’s also great for pocket knives.
I’ve been repairing my own stuff, and it’s genius how serviceable many of these things are.
You know I think I can do it...🙏😇🙋♀️
i sure did't know u just undo those 2 screws and take off the top!
Your videos are great brother. I pray you have nothing but success! Thank you for allowing me to fix my moms washer for her!!!

From the look of that link trap i think this is the same or very similar model of dryer that I own. Saving vid this just in case i need it now lol
Im going to buy some of the silicone spray and take it with me to the store and spray the crap out of the cart wheels.
Huzzah! This one was one of my requests a few videos ago! Thank you!!!
Lol Huzzah!! Are u from the Midwest by any chance?

Today I learned there are gas dryers.... That sounds like a really bad idea lol
@@NotMe-ej9yz I'd expect your house is heated by burning gas as well.
Love this guy. Learned a skill and ran away with it. Good work ethic goes a long way, especially these days
I'm waiting for the day....
i pray to god i don’t fuck this up this afternoon 😂 bought the kit
Don't buy your appliances from Costco !!! And , do I need to get tattoos to work on my appliances ?!!! 🤔😲🙃😀😀😀😀😀😜😎🖖
ha. no. And a jail term is unnecessary also!
silicone is amazing we work with abrasives. so silicone lube is the BEST non stick ever
Keep these helpful videos coming. Super helpful
Most of his work locations look like some Midwest drug house used for cooking/trafficking.

How did you fix the finish on the top?

Legit!
Great lubricant tips. 😎💯
My boy gettin in there with that wet platinum, make them idlers so happy they can’t even moan 😩😂
Wet platinum what's that
Love your videos!!
lol this dude just deconstructed the whole unit and said the word “simple” in the same vid 😂
How about a video on replacing that felt strip that lines the edge of the drum. Oh and how about when the dryer casing that seemed to serve as a coin bank?
The strip is called a bearing, even though it's not made of metal.
anything you say? 😏

He painted the lid... paint, especially good paint costs almost as much as gold these days.
Very similar design on Samsung dryers, from experience
Question I have a washer and dryer n y backporch do you pick them up or what bc I might let you have them haven't decided what to do with them yet
I just rebuilt my washer and dryer, which is almost 20 years old, so now I can get another 20 years. I love the videos
i know it might not be the best video to ask, but...how can be clean up the washing machine tub basket? (the outside too where we can't clean without taking it apart).
Graphite spray as a lubricant is a terrible idea for any situation...
I paused at 5 seconds...lemme guess Fabric Softener will RUIN YOUR WASHER! ...back after watching . Dang I was wrong lol😂
Yeah man, I've got a Sears Kenmore that's 40 years old. I've overhauled it twice. But, I didn't know about the silicone lube. Thanks.
Dry lube try PTFE. Availabla as spray, powder or paste. Clean, effective and dosn’t accumulate dirt
Thanks watching this short I just saved 1500 dollars

If my dryer is squealing, he's getting whacked.
Why would anyone need bloody gloves, for, well….ANYTHING. Men do not need gloves…unless your nails are wet?
That's because graphite lubricant was not made for rollers
How long do the pulleys stay quiet after silicone lubrication? Honestly? Not permanent I would think.
I can’t remove the sensor clip from the door for some reason :( lmfao
We always used graphite but not in spray form. Never had a callback.
That's right don't forget your name 🤣🤣🤣👍 good job 🥃😉👏👏
My dryer sounds like there’s something like shoes inside bouncing around
Damn i was hoping i wouldn't have to take the belt off 😅😅😅 welp off the hardware store. Thanks for the content
Hey
Love these videos
Thank you
Can you tell me wtf is up with front load Electrolux dryers
Brand new, just installed in July, it takes 84 minutes to dry a load
Spent a fortune on it
Totally disappointed
Thanks in advance

This is a nice thought, but you could still burn someone’s house down. If you don’t rip off the back and examine the blower fan and clean that Plenum.
Have this Kenmore dryer. Made the mistake of throwing some shoes in there, then it started making a squealing, rumbling, grinding noise. Changed out the tensioner and wheels. Noticed the bearing shaft had some grooves in it like some sand got caught in there and rubbed deep grooves into it. But I haven’t changed out the belt. Doing that tomorrow before I tackled the shaft. Grinds when clothes are wet and heavy. Goes away when they start drying.

I need your help. I have my dryer apart. I’m trying to trouble shoot. I will absolutely try this. Thank you
I got a question. What causes those rollers to come apart? I had a roller disintegrate and replaced it but for it to only happen again.
well there Koda, simething's 9ut of kilter.
Wow. So instead of fixing the problem just prolong it. I flip appliances too and want to sell high quality that will last. That kit is $18
My dryer keeps breaking belts and some time the motor spinning and the belt won’t move
Goodnstuff...makes me wanna tear mine apart! almost....
All i had was permatex lithium grease. Prob not a good idea cus i think it's somewhat flammable lol
Ptfe would work, and not damaging to rubbery parts
My real front load Maytag washer I’ve had for years, is unusually loud during the spin cycle… ideas?
If you're going to go as far as disassembly then why not replace the drum wheels and be done with it? Silicone spray stinks and is a temporary fix.
Mine makes noises after running a seld cleaning cycle. Goes away eventually.
I got an 80 series washer and dryer, I absolutely refuse to replace, especially with any of these new high efficiency crap washers that constantly break and have maintenance issues.
So you can repair any washer and dryer pretty much?? That hasn't been tampered with?. Because I see many on the road and just call a buddy I know who picks up scrap
Graphite is shit. Don’t use it for anything but shitty black paint. Cause that’s all it is.
Thise are sintered bearings in the idler and rollers. Don't lubricate, just replace. Get the maintenance kit for next to nothing.
Can you show me a GE (inside tag) says Hotpoint at controls HTDX type
I desperately need help on my washer and I’m at the point of asking for help in the UA-cam comments, the touch screen style buttons stoped working and I have no money to replace it. I don’t know the make or model and got it from a family member.
