3.2. Installation Steps (General Guide)

Note: Specific disassembly steps may vary by dryer model. Refer to your dryer's service manual for detailed instructions.

1. Access the Drum: Carefully remove the top panel, control panel, front panel, and possibly the drum belt to gain access to the dryer drum and its support components.
2. Locate Old Rollers: Identify the existing drum rollers, typically located at the front and/or rear of the dryer drum support frame.
3. Remove Old Rollers: Detach the old rollers from their mounting posts. Note how they are installed, including any washers or clips.

• Initial Test Run: Run an empty cycle or a small load to confirm proper operation.
• Listen for Noise: Pay attention to any squeaking, grinding, or thumping noises, which could indicate improper installation or other issues.
