I have a frigidaire FERB5700DS0 electric dryer. This is a rather basic front loading dryer. It was making a somewhat low noise while running. Seems the dryer drys fine. This is an intermittent problem that seems to crop up once the dryer has been running and drying for say 10 to 20 minutes. Check all the obvious things with lint buildup etc. Called a recommended repair guy and said it was the idler pulley. It was not the fix. Guy came back and thought the drum bearing looked dry and changed the bearing and packed it with fresh grease. Not the fix. He came back and said the idler pully looked suspect to changed it again. Not the fix as every time the vibration returns as I said before. He came back and changed the idler pully shaft but yesterday it was doing the same damn thing. This is a reputable repair shop. The technician has not charged me but for the first call, first idler pulley, and the bearing part. $175 total. He is baffled also. The location is in Baton Rouge where we own a house where my daughter lives while attending LSU. Yesterday I was there all day and witnessed the problem through out the day as we washed and dryed clothes. Last week I asked him about the belt, spring tensioner, etc. Talked to me for 20 minutes. He said this is a basic machine and cannot understand why we cannot find the problem. He seems to know his stuff but again the problem is intermittent. Seems to run fine while he is there but problem starts again a while after he leaves. One thing he did say is that it could be the motor. I gathered that he was referring to the motor bearings which could be failing since it appeared yesterday that the vibration would start, go on for a while, then stop and was running without vibration and then start up again a while later. I am handy and can trouble shoot pretty well overall but this too has me baffled. I am coming to the conclusion that it may well be the motor bearings failing. I watched the drum running from the front and it seems to be turning fine with no wobble etc. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks, Glenn

Kenmore dishwasher - builders grade almost 10 years old - leaks from the bottom right corner, started a few months back. I cleaned the gasket and it seemed to be ok for a few weeks, then started again. nothing has changed regarding how dishwasher is loaded, brand or quantity of detergent, etc. Today I cleaned the gasket again and observed leak. gasket is wet on the outside of the lip of the washer door only in the corner where leaking - very small spot. I checked to make sure arms are spinning freely, and they are. Would a new gasket solve this problem? Could the lip of the door be worn as to not make a good seal? Being 10 years old, is the DW worth repairing (even gasket) or is this the beginning of troubles to come? Is it time to replace DW? Thanks.
