Speed Queen Dryer Repair – Orrville, OH (ADG3LRGS111TWO1)

A Speed Queen dryer in Orrville was making noise and smelling hot when running with a load. We found the rear support rollers had failed, causing the drum to wobble and create friction heat.

The Problem

The customer reported their Speed Queen dryer smells hot and makes a noise when under a load. These symptoms typically point to drum support issues that create excessive friction during operation.

Diagnosis

We found the rear support rollers had worn out. When these rollers fail, the dryer drum doesn’t rotate smoothly, causing it to wobble and rub against other components. This creates both the noise and the hot smell from friction heat.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: RB170002-KIT — rear support roller kit for 1992 and newer Speed Queen models
• Work performed: Replaced the rear support rollers using the complete kit that includes the two rollers, shafts, washers, and lock rings
• Result: Dryer runs quietly without overheating or unusual odors

Is It Worth Repairing?

Speed Queen builds commercial-grade dryers designed to last decades with proper maintenance. Roller replacement is routine maintenance on these units, and this repair should provide many more years of reliable service. Speed Queen’s reputation for durability makes this repair worthwhile on most models.

Maintenance Tips for Speed Queen Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load — Speed Queen dryers move high volumes of air and accumulated lint reduces efficiency
• Check the external exhaust vent annually for blockages that can cause overheating
• Listen for changes in operating sounds that might indicate worn rollers or other mechanical components
