Belt was slipping, and having a hard time spinning the drum
First off, start by turning of the breaker to the dryer and confirming the power has been turned off. Next, remove the lint screen and two screws holding the lint screen housing to the lid. Remove the two side moldings on the control panel and the two screws holding doun the enclosure. Slide the control enclosure forward and lift up . Ta
... Read moreke a picture of the wiring for later reference and carefully unplug the wires and set the enclosure aside. Next, remove the two screws holding the rear lid retaining clips. Gently pry up on the front of the lid to realese hold doun clips, swing the lid up and remove it from the rear clips, set the lid aside. Remove the two screws on corners of front cover located near the top, unplug the door switch. Remove the front cover by lifting straight up, set aside. Now remove the belt from the motor by realeasing the tensioner and remove it from the drum. You can now remove the drum through the front. Now is a good time to check the condition of your drum rollers, clean them as needed or replace them. Clean the roller shafts and apply a quality grease. "Clean the roller groove on the drum" this is what makes the drum sound bumpy! Remove the rear seal and replace it as per the instructions that come with the seal. The glue dries quickly, so have the seal fully in place and apply glue to small areas replacing the seal fully before moving on. You can now reinstall the drum being careful not to damage the seal. Place the drum on the rollers, reach inside and work the seal into place. You can now replace the belt and work in reverse with the casings! It took me longer to type these instructions than it did to make this repair! Enjoy your like new machine!
Followed the directions, top held in place by plastic clips, used flat bladed screw driver to gently pry upwards until they released. Cleaned inside of dryer. Check for lint, just about none. Two screws retain the front panel. Disconnect the door switch. Installed new rollers, then installed the rear drum seal which can be messy and the h

I applied the adhesive to the lip and slipped the seal onto the lip, the adhesive was setting by the time I was done, but it's glued 360 degrees around the periphery. Put belt on drum and slipped drum onto rollers depressed tension and slipped belt onto motor pulley. Slightly pulled drum up while slipping front panel onto lower catches. Reinstalled top clips and retaining screws. Tested. Closed lid. Done. Much quieter and works fine
first we printed out directions from a couple of online repair sites that had pictures. We followed the directions to remove the front of the dryer and removed the belt off the drier and then took out the drum. We had a hard time trying to keep the rear seal on so used CLOTHES PINS to put on the seal, then we added the adhesive repla

We removed the back of the dryer and used a 9/16" socket with an extention to remove the back nuts. We took out the shaft, used sandpaper on it and then replaced the triangle clips and the support rollers. Then put the back on again, then the front, making sure the drum fit on the front. You have to then figure out the belt, with the rubber side down, and then work with the tensioner, which took my poor husband a while. Then lowered the top, put the clips back on and the bottom, making sure we turned the drum. It was a success after about 3 hours. You can do it a lot easier with pictures.
It was having a hard time starting and would quit.
First I had to take the top of the dryer off by taking the two screws off of the lint trap on top then I pushed the top forward a little and lifted up. Then I had to take the front of the dryer off (I think there was two screws). After that I had to take the belt off to be able to get the drum out. I pulled off the old seal and had to use

It takes two people to put the seal on especially when it gets down to the end. Although my dryer defenitly needed a new seal it was not the problem. It was not very difficult at all, just more time consuming with trying to get the old glue off. Will be buying a new motor, found one cheap and alot less expensive than buying a new dryer considering when I am done I will pretty much have a new dryer for about $120.00.
It had been making noise for a week and I bought the two drum support rollers hoping that was the problem. It wasn't as the dryer started shutting down after a few minutes of running. I opened the top of the dryer and removed the 2 screws holding the face and door on. I removed the face and disconnected the door switch wires and released
... Read more the drum belt by pushing on the idler pully. I then removed the drum straight out the top. I then put a wrench on the fan on the back of the motor and unscrewed it and then released the two holdown clamps on the motor and removed the motor. I had to make a couple of wiring modifications for the new motor but the instructions and connectors that came with the motor were perfect. I put everything back together and plugged the dryer back in and tried to start it and .... Nothing. I forgot to reconnect the door switch wires. Fixed that and the dryer now runs as good as new and makes no noise at all now (almost anyway). It should be good for another 10 years easy.
UNPLUG THE DRYER!!!!! First removed the two screws holding the lint filter in place. Then slipped a screw driver between the top and the dryer body to remove the top. Using a nut driver removed the two screws holding the front of the dryer in place, remove the two wires for the door switch., lift the front cover of the dryer and set

A thorough cleaning to remove all of the scorch like stain from the drum and back plate. Remove the seal and glue the new one in its place. Put it back like you found it. Make sure that the seal is not tucked against the back plate. Dryer works better than new and no more stains.

The dryer was leaving rust marks on our clothes.
After my husband disassembled the cabinet and removed the drum, we used a putty knife to remove the old seal and carefully glued the new one in place. (A 2 man job to do it without leaking glue everywhere.) We then replaced the belt, following the picture sent by PartSelect and put everything back. (We put all small pieces in labeled enve

Do you have a felt dryer belt that will fit? I see some videos stating a Whirlpool belt will fit?
For model number DV456EWHDSU/AA
Hello James, Thank you for the question. The Belt, PartSelect Number PS4133825 would be made of rubber. Felt would not be strong enough to tumble the dryer drum. We hope this helps.
How long should I wait for the adhesive to dry on the drum felt seal before reinstalling the drum?
For model number MEDC400VWO
Hi Don, thank you for getting in touch. Based on our research, you should wait at least 24 hours for the adhesive to properly dry before reinstalling the drum and running the unit. Please submit a new question if you have any follow-ups!
