    Maytag Dryer rumbling and off-center drum

    I still have to check the support glides, but one of the drum rollers was in rough shape. The idler pulley seems pretty loose too. I removed the loose baffle and the attaching points seem ok. But all these balls inside - are they just lint that I can toss? I had forgotten there were some in...

    Maytag Dryer rumbling and off-center drum

    Thanks! The noise hasn't changed since the drum went off center recently. It's dropped a bit, the gap is at the top just left of center. I think we'll pull it apart first before ordering parts. I'd hate to find out it needs to much after I order everything. Baffles - the one that came off...

    Maytag Dryer rumbling and off-center drum

    Those baffles (paddles, as I call them).... is there a better place to get them? $60+ at repair clinic! Are they fixable? The one that fell off broke at one of the mounting holes and another is loose. I was going to just buy all 3 but ouch!

    Maytag Dryer rumbling and off-center drum

    Ok thanks, that doesn't look too difficult. So there are two drum rollers. Do you think they are also causing the rumbling noise? That's been going on for quite awhile.

    Maytag Dryer rumbling and off-center drum

    In 2016 you helped me replace the blower wheel on my dryer. It has started to make noise again but I don't think it's quite the same noise. I actually thought I had found a video of the noise with the part I needed but I can't find my notes so I'm back again to figure this out. Is there a way to...

    Mid-90s Maytag Dryer rumbling noises

    Fixed!! Got a chance to do the repair Saturday - the dryer is great now! It just has an odd humming noise from the back (I think). Clothes are drying quickly and oddly enough, even the lint looks better. It was really fluffy and outside the lint catcher for the past couple of weeks. Thank you!!

    Mid-90s Maytag Dryer rumbling noises

    Thanks for all the comments! The model # is LDE8604ACE I usually get parts from Repair Clinic - you said eBay?

    Mid-90s Maytag Dryer rumbling noises

    That was quick! I will get the model # tomorrow. Could that be the cause of the poor drying now? Or maybe it's the extreme cold and wind coming back through the vent. Thanks! :)

    Mid-90s Maytag Dryer rumbling noises

    My dryer has been rumbling for awhile, but the clothes still got dry just fine. I researched it best I could, and found a number of posts over the net that say it's most likely the blower wheel. Here's the problem - I just had a job change and hadn't yet gotten the model number of the dryer to...

    New Speed Queen vs mid-90's Maytag

    Is it worth looking at the commercial line? Or are they a ton more? There is a place in town that sells them.

    New Speed Queen vs mid-90's Maytag

    Yes...... The top loader is expensive enough!

    New Speed Queen vs mid-90's Maytag

    Kenmore71 - thanks for the clarification on the water capacity. I didn't realize that was total water usage per load, I thought it was tub size. I am slightly concerned that I won't be able to fit as much in a new SQ as my old MT. John - can you clarify on the SQ FL? Do they not suffer some of...

    New Speed Queen vs mid-90's Maytag

    It's leaking from the lower bearing IIRC, so that's probably what you did as well. Seemed to be common when I researched it last year. We took it enough apart to figure that out. $100 in parts, 2-3 parts plus the spanner wrench. It's been leaking for probably 18 months that I know of, so not...

    New Speed Queen vs mid-90's Maytag

    Hi all, I have a 1996-97 Maytag washer. I don't have the model # offhand, but it is a 2 speed tranmission model with extra capacity (5 water levels, though mini - medium have always been pretty high). I'm looking at new washers due to a leak in my current one. Because I want a top loader with...
