Should dryer vent on inside of the dryer be hot to touch
the dryer exhaust is hot so it would heat the vent hose but it's always a good idea to clean dryer vents about once a year.. you can get a vent snake at home depot or lowes or ace.. one of the worst causes of home fires is dryer lint.. never leave a dryer on when you are not home, make certain the vent hose is tightly connected and lint is not escaping into the room and clean the vent from time to time ..

Bravos mct Dryer Loud Screeching sound upon startup ModelMEDB850WQ0
A loud screeching sound from your dryer could be caused by a few different issues. Here are a few things you can check:
- Belt: A worn or broken belt can cause a loud screeching sound. To check this, unplug the dryer and remove the front panel. Look for any signs of wear or damage to the belt. If it looks worn or broken, you'll need to replace it.
- Drum Rollers: Dryer drum rollers can also cause a loud screeching noise. You can check this by turning the drum by hand. If it feels rough or wobbles, the rollers may be worn and need to be replaced.
- Idler Pulley: A faulty idler pulley can cause a screeching noise. You can check this by removing the belt and spinning the pulley by hand. If it feels rough or wobbles, it may need to be replaced.
- Motor: A motor that is failing can also cause a loud screeching noise. You can check this by turning the drum by hand and listening for any unusual sounds coming from the motor.
If you're not comfortable checking these components yourself, it's best to call a professional to diagnose and repair the issue.

Tentioned my drive belt on my Sinotec top loaderT1311LS. Now it sounds like slipping ratchet on the drive. How do I set the ratchet on the drum?
If you have tensioned the drive belt on your Sinotec top loader T1311LS and now it sounds like there is a slipping ratchet on the drive, it is possible that the drum is not turning properly. Here are some steps you can take to set the ratchet on the drum:
- Unplug the washing machine and remove the back panel to access the drum and motor assembly.
- Locate the ratchet mechanism on the drum. It is usually located on the back of the drum and will have teeth that engage with the teeth on the motor shaft.
- Check the teeth on the ratchet mechanism for any signs of wear or damage. If the teeth are worn, the ratchet may need to be replaced.
- Make sure that the ratchet mechanism is properly engaged with the motor shaft. If the teeth are not aligned, the ratchet may slip and cause the drum to stop turning.
- Check the tension on the drive belt. If the belt is too tight, it may be causing the ratchet to slip. Loosen the tension on the belt slightly and see if this resolves the issue.
- If the ratchet is still slipping, it may be necessary to replace the drive belt or the motor itself. Contact a qualified technician for further assistance.
- Once you have resolved the issue, reassemble the back panel and plug the washing machine back in. Test the machine to ensure that the drum is turning properly and that there are no more slipping or ratcheting sounds.

How to fix dial on sde4606ayw not spinning but the dryer gets hot.
If the dial on your Maytag SDE4606AYW dryer is not spinning but the dryer is getting hot, it may be due to a faulty timer. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and potentially fix the issue:
- Check the timer motor: The ticking noise you hear could be the timer motor trying to advance the timer. You can test the timer motor using a multimeter. If the motor is faulty, it will need to be replaced.
- Inspect the timer knob: If the timer knob is loose or cracked, it may not be engaging properly with the timer shaft. Check the knob for any damage or wear and replace if necessary.
- Check the timer shaft: If the timer shaft is damaged or worn, it may not be able to turn the timer. Inspect the shaft for any damage and replace if necessary.
- Test the cycling thermostat: The cycling thermostat is responsible for regulating the temperature in the dryer. If it is faulty, it may not allow the timer to advance. Test the thermostat using a multimeter and replace if necessary.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be best to consult a professional repair technician for further assistance.

Not getting power from an electric plug... non of the breakers have flipped.
You posted to Dryers Category and yet you say the Dry works, so it this a Washing Machine or something else?
The dryer is 220 volts and is on a separate 30 amp breaker to the 110 volt supply for the washing machine 15 amp circuit. Lights are on a separate 5 amp lighting circuit Unplug the appliance that doesn't work and plug in a kettle or lamp that is known to work. Some breakers go 'lazy' and need switching off and then FIRMLY back to On.
Let me know, click Comment under my post.

When replacing front slides, it is always a good idea to thoroughly check the rear bearing, it sounds like yours is shot. Bronze bearing, steel shaft, it wears. Did you oil the felt slide pads?
