Hi I'm Mike and today I am going to help you diagnose the reason why your dryer is making

a squeaking sound and I'm also going to give you some parts that you may need to replace

in order to fix this you may need a Phillips head screw driver and a puddy knife in order

to to complete this project in front of us we have a Maytag centennial dryer now your

dryer may look different because their are many different brands and makes and models

however I am going to show you a bunch of ways that you can diagnose your problem and

it will work on your dryer as well in order for us to diagnose this washer we are going

to need to run it for a little bit in order to where the squeaking is coming from now

the squeaking may be coming from three possible places and that is the back of the dryer on

top of the dryer of in the bottom of the cabinet this squeaking can come from parts on the

dryer that may become worn out and may need to be replaced the bearings are located behind

the back panel of the dryer usually our dryer however does not have bearings so I won't

be able to show you that but I do recommend taking a look at your owners manual to see

how you could remove that back panel and I would defiantly check the bearings if you

do have them a lot of times they become rusted and may need to be lubed or replaced so now

I am going to gain access to the inside of the dryer by removing the top panel of the

dryer now like I said previously this may not work the same on your model number however

you can take a look at your owners manual it should help you understand how to remove

the top panel of your dryer so I am going to remove the lint screen the two screws holding

the top panel to the lint trap using a puddy knife I am just going to pop open the top

so now I am going to lift the top panel of the dryer and I am going to make sure that

either you put it against the wall or build some kind of support system this way we do

not damage anything on the top of the dryer so if you noticed you have a loud screeching

noise coming from the top of the dryer the belt is usually the cause of the problem belts

over time can become fray of shift on the drum and this will cause the drum to make

a lot of noise so I recommend taking a good look at your belt even if you think the problem

is anywhere else because these belts typically break pretty easily so if you took at your

belt and you notice that the belt is fine and there does not really seem to be any problem

with it you can probably determine that the squeaking is coming from the bottom of the

dryer I am going to show you a few parts that could be giving you trouble and could be causing

the squeaking in order to gain access to the bottom of the dryer I am going to have to

take off this front panel and I am going to do that by first unclipping this switch and

next I am going to have to remove screws on the inside of the dryer that are holding this

panel in once both of those screws have been removed I am going to take the front panel

and I am just going to pull it up now I had to pull the drum on my model but depending

on you model you may not have to to do that so just keep that in mind another part we

can also look for is the dryer seal now this seal is held in with an adhesive and sometimes

the adhesive can get to hot and met so here see our seal that it is starting to come off

and that is what is causing the squeaking for us because the dryer drum when it is in

motion is rubbing up against this panel right here so we are going to have to replace that

so we figured out our problem however if you noticed that your seal is okay we can go ahead

and take a look at some other issues that you may have in the bottom of the drum the

next part we are going to take a look at is the idler pulley and the idler pulley is going

to be located right here depending on your make or model it should relatively look the

same if it begins to ware out over time because it constantly moving the belt to the dryer

and sometimes the plastic on the idler pulley can get melted off due to the heat so I would

defiantly take a look and see if the idler pulley is the cause of the blame if you notice

that your idler pulley is not the issue I would also take a look at the motor of the

dryer now our motor is located in the back of the idler pulley your motor should be located

there to the motor helps rotate the belt with this metal piece right here where the belt

is wrapped around now sometimes the motor can become weakened over time if you have

had your dryer model for a couple of years it could possibly be the case any of the parts

I showed you here today could be the reason why your dryer is squeaking you can find an

Why Kocherlakota is Disappointed with Post-Great Recession Macroeconomics? - Duration: 1:13.

I have been back to academia for just over a year

I don't see any signs of a revolution of that kind taking place.

I think where academic macroeconomics now stands

is just the continuation of trends that were already in place before the Great Recession.

There is much interest in trying to develop models

with more respect for heterogeneity on the firm side and the household side

and using sophisticated computational methods and data to come up with that

these are just continuations of trends that were in place before the Great Recession.

I am disappointed by that

I think that the financial crisis and then the really slow recovery

should really make macroeconomists revisit and rethink the path we are on in macro

but I don't see very much of that happening at this stage
