I have a 1988 Kenmore dryer. About a year ago it started shaking violently. Turns out after 30+ years one of the rollers seized up. I bought a kit with two rollers, a tensioner pulley, and a new belt for $35. Took longer to figure out how to take the machine apart than it did to replace the parts. Slapped it back together and it runs like a dream. It even has a light that comes on when you open the door. I love that thing and plan on using it for the rest of my life. I actually just bought a house that included a modern washer and dryer and I plan on donating those and putting in my old washer/dryer.
