SOURCE: Dryer doesn't turn on. Replaced the power switch

Power switch? Do you mean push to start switch? To see if you have a bad push to start 1st unplug. Open back top panel. Only do this test if you hae two wires going to the push to start switch. Wear gloves so you dont kill yourself. seriously. If you do have two wire then disconnect from push to start. Make sure they are not touching anything!!! Plug machine in. Tunr timer to 60 minutes. Touch wire together then pull apart. If machine kick on replace push to start. If not put everything back the way it was. Jump out door switch. If door switch is jump and still dont work then check motor test. Check harness on motor. If has a capacitor need to check with a cap. tester. You need a service manual to test wheather you have a bad motor. The manual will show you how to properly test a motor (each lead has ohms valve and you have to know what they are to test)

The dryer screeches when on clothes dry but noisy

Hi,

Odd dryer noises can be caused by different components, but the following items should be checked:

Turn off all power to the dryer and unplug it. If this is a gas dryer, shut off the gas supply as well.

1. The drum rollers - they can wear out after several years in use.

2. The belt idler pulley - this pulley keeps the dryer belt tensioned (tight) and can cause noise if the roller or tensioner is going bad.

3. The dryer drive motor - this motor drives the dryer and makes it spin. Motors can also fail after several years in use. Noise in this area can also be caused by debris build-up near the dryer air discharge when lint or other debris gets caught in the dryer blower wheel. This requires removal of the back of the dryer and removal of the air plenum to gain access to the blower wheel.

The items described here can be performed by someone handy, but are sometimes best left to a qualified technician.

Whirlpool Duet Dryer Idler Pulley

see this causes and fix it. God bless you
Not all will apply to every dryer. Check our video page for more style dryers.

Rollers

Many dryers use rollers or wheels to support the clothes drum. When these rollers are worn, they can be noisy. You should replace the whole set of rollers at the same time. You will need to disassemble the dryer to check these. Some dryers use rollers in both the front and rear. Check our videos for other style dryers.

Belt

The Belt should be replaced if you hear any noise coming from it or if there is any cracking, glazing, or grooves worn out. Replace the Belt along with the idler pulley.

Idler pulley

Dryers have a tension or idler pulley that keeps tension on the main drive belt. When it's worn, it can be noisy. When that happens, don't lubricate it. Just replace it.

Glides

Many dryers use nylon or plastic glides at the front of the clothes drum for support. When these are worn, they can be noisy. When that happens, replace the glides and bearing housing if necessary. Put hand inside drum near front and push up there should be no play.

Rear drum bearing

Some dryers support the clothes drum in the rear with a center spindle instead of rollers. The spindle may be a ball-and-socket type support or a shaft through a sleeve. When the components are worn, they may squeak, squeal, or rub. You can't repair them. Just replace the rear bearing when they're worn. Put hand inside drum near rear and push up there should be no play. This video walks thru another type.

Blower wheel

Your dryer's blower wheel pulls air over the heat source, through the clothes drum, and past the thermosta ts, then pushes it out the exhaust duct. The blower wheel, which is usually plastic, may wear out over time. But if it's noisy, it may simply be clogged with lint. Clean the blower and test to see if the dryer is still noisy. If it is, you probably need to replace the blower wheel. Many times the blower wheel is making the noise and it is commonly mistaken for the motor.

Motor

The motor may be making noise. The easy way to check is to remove the belt and turn the dryer on if it is noisy replace the motor.

When the dryer tumbles, it makes a loud noise. What could it be? How do I fix it?

Go to Sears and purchase a new belt & idler pulley wheel for yours. The bearing in the pulley has dried up bearing causing this noise. The belt will be stretched and replacing it the same time will save a future headache
