• Samsung DV4015J Dryer noise
  
  
  I recently replaced the rear drum bearing on this dryer, and once you find the part, the change is a snap. The dryer actually uses Whirlpool parts, and the rear bearing is just a plastic bushing that the shaft of the drum rides in. It is accessible behind a small cover on the rear of the machine. Pop the top off the machine (so you will be able to support the drum, to remove the old bushing), remove the five Robertson screws holding the rear cover and bushing in place,remove c-clip at end of shaft, remove old bushing. After applying some high quality lube (I used a molybdenum based product), reverse assemble, and enjoy the now quiet machine. In my case, a "tensioner spring" on the end of the drum shaft had disintegrated, likely causing much of the noise, as fragments entered the bushing. I intend to inquire as to the need of the spring,and if necessary, it's an easy addition.

  The shaft is scored.Replacing the bearing would only be a temp. fix. Anyone know where a shaft can be got? Parts book shows it as part of the drum but it is bolted to the drum.

  Appears to be the same dryer as Samsung and I came up with the same results. Bushing is available but shaft and flange are part of drum. Although the shaft is actually bolted to the drum. My cost would be $337. Dryer cost new less than $500. For an appliance that is 2 years old this would be not practical to fix.I need help on this one.
