Repair a Dryer

CAUTION ** Major Appliances have extremely sharp edges and can cut like a razor edges are not burred 

To change drum rollers on a Kenmore  / Whirlpool brand Dryers. You will need to make it look like this.... **First UnPlug electric from the machine
Plus take the rear cover off -
To remove both rollers and stud shafts--- pull the lint filter out if located at on top of the dryer case
      Remove 2 screws with a Phillips screw driver from the lint filter area (if located on top--( not the control top )
      Lift the front of the top of the dryer (above the door area) while tapping/ pushing the front top case forward (do not push on the control top panel)
     Swing the top lid toward the rear-  upward movement -out of your way. careful !! not to far, where it would bend the hinge, if falls backwards.  We usually have it leaning on a wall or brace it

Unplug the door switch
Remove 2 screws with 5/16 nut driver ( socket) near inside front top area - each side
Hold tub upward slightly - while leaning top front case of unit -(( the door area ))- out toward you, about a inches to 2 inches the most- pull up on front panel to unhook clips from the bottom.
set the panel aside
now you have access to the inside of the dryer

Perfect time to install belt
Replace rollers
or anything else that needs to be done
