# Kenmore dryer drum roller and belt repair

### About drum noise and broken belts

A belt, a pair of rollers and an idler pulley together cost very little. This figure is almost entirely the work of opening a dryer, lifting the drum out, replacing what is worn and putting it back so it runs true and quiet, and we would rather say that than pretend the parts are expensive. The whole set goes back because everything in the drive train has done the same hours: a new belt on worn rollers wears quickly, and returning for the rollers means paying for the same dismantling twice.

On this site the job covers dryers wearing the Kenmore badge, across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Tell us the three digits before the period on the rating plate when you book: they name the company that actually built the appliance, and on this badge that is where the diagnosis starts.

What this involves

Belt rollers and idler replaced as a set

The noise identified before anything is opened

Cheap parts and a real amount of labor

Identify the noise

A squeal, a rumble and a thump come from different parts, and a description on the phone gets us most of the way there.

Open it up and look at all three

Belt, rollers, idler pulley and the rear bearing. They wear together because they work together.

Replace as a set where it makes sense

The parts are inexpensive and the labor is the cost. Doing one and leaving the others is paying for the labor twice.

Check the blower while it is open

Lint packs into the blower housing and it is the easiest moment there will ever be to clear it.

Run it and listen

A full cycle, empty and then loaded, before we put the panels back on for good.

### It rumbles and squeaks but still dries.

That is the moment to call. Noise here is cheap to put right and gets more expensive the longer it runs, because a worn support damages what turns on it.

### What does the noise tell you?

Rumbling usually means rollers, a rhythmic squeak often means the idler, a thump on every rotation can be a flat spot, and a hum with no rotation is a broken belt. Describing it accurately when you book genuinely helps.
