Hi everyone! Well, we decided to do the glides on the dryer ourselves. Easy peasy to get the door off. However, I had thought the bottom felt was in good shape - and it IS on one side at least, and only ordered the top glide. Well, its not. It needs to be replaced - its very worn.
My question is should we wait for the bottom felt to be sent before using the dryer again? Its worn about a foot in length from the top glide - which by the way the plastic fell off when we took the door off, LOL. DH is prepping the door for the new glide.
Also, the service guy that did it originally - how important is that top glide to be PERFECTLY centered. Its very slightly off (ha Virgo I am checked the symmetry). Would that make a difference?
Ive vacuumed and cleaned the inside of the dryer which did not have much link
The only thing killing me at this point is the damn shipping from Sears. DH went to the repair center right up the road and said it had to be ordered. If I had known I would have told him to order both parts cause between the two Im paying $20 in shipping costs. Yeah, I know there's other places on the web to order stuff (partsdirect) but I just want this DONE.
