@tankmilkman

[QCThemountain]

this as been a long time i hope you see this, but me and my dad took it appart for the same problem and we cant put the strap back. showing how to do it would be amazing

[ChefTips]

@QCThemountain

The belt that goes around the drum also passes through the motorized wheel. This wheel is usually suspended and is clipped in by a metal fastener. I first place the drum in place with the belt on the drum, then place the belt through the motorized wheel. Hope this helps.

Do I see a plastic type dryer duct attachment at the 25 second mark? That should really be rigid aluminum. Looks like a fire hazard waiting to happen. Be Safe!

@silverS70

Thanks for the tip. I have always used this vinyl vent tubing and never had a problem. Is there a web site that post stats on fire starts due to this tubing?

[Edricofifrit]

Hey, my hat's off to you, I was searching videos about dryers, and came across this, my dryer is making that EXACT same noise. I checked another vid and it seems like this repair shouldn't give me much of a headache, so I'm going to tackle it. I'm so lazy, I have a newer and better dryer in my garage lol

[ChefTips]

Good luck! It really was pretty easy to fix. Saved myself quite a few bucks doing it myself!

[xthehuntedx]

Please tell me you already have a show on television...

[ChefTips]

Ha ha! I don't, but thanks for the compliment. I am really enjoying making these short videos for people on youtube.

[bm33511]

Then make more! Update once a week! Or better yet, once a day!

[ChefTips]

If only we could. I still have a day job!

[bm33511]

Haha, if you get enough subscribers, you could make enough as a Youtube Partner!

[nito040]

We got ourselves a genuine renaissance man. What else can you do?

[ChefTips]

Ha ha... Thanks.

I try and do things around my house that I know I can do. I have learned through the years to not get in over my head.

[DarkSp3c3d]

[ChefTips]

Your best video ever.

[ChefTips]

Ha!  Thanks!

[mes5961]

How in the world did u even know what to do?

[ChefTips]

A co-worker's husband has his own appliance repair business. When I was describing the horrible sound my dryer was making, she suggested that it could be the support rollers.

[mes5961]

Thanks for replying back.But if I took a dryer apart I'd forget how to put it back together.LOL,have a good one.

[7seveng7]

That $3.11 on the floor plus about the same amount that you made today as a YouTube partner should be enough to buy you a latte at Starbucks = )

- Paul Seveng

[ChefTips]

Yes, after discovering the mother lode under the dryer and my yesterday youtube earnings, I am off today for a iced venti cinnamon dolce latte! =]

[ericomfg]

[jami3r00]

[theCOLDnoodles]

[ChefTips]

Good point! :D

[islamonly1]

You definitly saved some money.

I enjoyed the video.

[MsBlackOrchid]

My dryer makes thumping noises at the start and then goes away after a few minutes .. I wonder if it's the same problem.

[ChefTips]

It could be. How old is your dryer?

[bskulldragon100]

thanx!

[ChefTips]

You're welcome!

[jwwetzel]

hahah nice! Mine was squeaking, so I bought a new one. hehe

of course, the dryer was original from when the place was built in 1977!!

[ChefTips]

Wow. That's a long time for a dryer to work.

[Shadow194]

A video out of the chef jacket, I like it :p

[wininparis]

Lol Freight Train Coming

[jdkbriggs]

Hopefully, you can get a hold, of the parts you need.

[ChefTips]

I have a family owned appliance sales/service store in my area. Luckily they had the part. I tried calling Sears first and they said it would be delivered in 10 days.... =<

[thiswasplanned]

BUT HOW DOES IT TASTE?!

[ChefTips]

Ha ha lol!

[silverfoxcondor46]

Just takes confidence to dive into a project like this one.

5/5

[ChefTips]

Yes, I try and do things that I know I can do. I have been known to get over my head with some projects. lol.

[russtex]

Been there...done that. I did it when I was bored after surgery. I know...I know...my mom said I shouldn't be doing it either and should rest. I wanted to do laundry and felt good enough to fix my dryer....lol.

[tomcam808]

lol sorry :)

[tomcam808]

woo wooo 5 stars !

[tomcam808]

your awsome dude!

btw 1st comment :)

[ChefTips]

Ha.. ha. Thanks! =]

[LordoftheReef]

HAHA Handy Man and chef. Let's see more videos of both :)

[ChefTips]

Alright. I have a brake job to do on my car. Maybe I'll film that! =]

[YugiohPhenoix]

That looks complicated!

[ChefTips]

Hello. It wasn't too bad. You just pop off the top, remove two bolts off the front cover and remove the front. The drum is held in place by a belt that I remove and pull out the drum. Then the you can see the support roller I had to replace.
