| I have the fisher/paykel smartload electric dryer model DEGX1US Recently it has been making a continuous high pitched sound. If this dryer had belts I would have thought that to be the first thing, but since there are no belts can someone tell me what they might think it could be |

| SmartLoad does have a belt. The belt attaches from the motor, wraps around the right edge of the drum. Four possible sources of operational squeak/squeal -- 1) The belt idler pulleys (common). 2) The main drum bearing at the right side (fairly common). 3) The left-side support bearings (ceramic bushings) on the air duct assembly. 4) The motor bearings. The main bearing can be replaced from inside the drum. The other parts require disassembly of the dryer, which is different than other dryers. F&P parts for DIYers are available from SearsPartsDirect.com, FisherPaykelParts.net (not related to F&P parent company), or possibly direct from F&P. I could send a service manual to you, but you don't have an e-mail contact on your GardenWeb profile. |
