White/Westinghouse, Frigidaire style dryers ( some 417.######## Kenmore dryers ) - How to take apart:
Disconnect power first In
order to test and effect repairs on any product, you must be able to
disassemble and reassemble the appliance. So lets start with
disassembly on this dryer. Unplug the dryer. Get the top up by pushing
in on 2 clips on either side as shown in this picture. We need
to remove the front of the dryer next. There are 2 or 4 screws inside
at the top on most of the older dryers that we need to remove. Once the
screws are removed, you can pull forward on the front and lift the
complete front off the 2 clips on the bottom of the dryer. Unplug the
door switch wires and set the front aside. Next step in disassembly is
to remove the belt from the idler and the motor pulley. This is done at
the rear of the dryer. Remove the 2 screws holding the inspection plate
on the left rear of the dryer. Remove the plate. Look carefully at how
the belt threads around the motor pulley and idler pulley so you can
replace it. Remove the belt from the motor pulley. Return to the front
of the dryer, grasp the belt in one hand and the front of the drum in
the other hand. Lift up on the rear of the drum and pull forward with
the other hand. There is a ball on the rear of the drum that rides in a
socket located in the center of the back of the dryer. You are lifting
the knob up and out of the socket. Look in the center of this picture
for the socket. You have taken the dryer far enough apart at this
point so that you can accomplish any repairs needed on this style
dryer. It is not necessary to go this far for all repairs, but if you
need to disassemble, you have the information.
