Duet Dryer Repair Kit (part

[@CarolynCarlsenRouzier]

This video was perfect. I'm 71 yo and never rebuilt a dryer before. It was a complete success. I discovered that my problem was a destroyed idler pulley. Now it's good as new. It was a fun project! I am so appreciative !

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad we were able to assist you.

[@michaelwynn6352]

Kudos to Appliance Parts Pros on this video. After receiving the correct Dryer Repair Kit for my Whirlpool Duet Dryer, I followed the instructions on the video step by step and replaced the dryer belt, rollers, and pulley. The dryer started up and ran fine. I appreciated the straightforward yet detailed instructions that allowed a novice to make a successful repair.

[@RobertDigregorio]

While my dryer model was slightly different in the disassembly, this video was extremely helpful and the replacement parts were perfect. Not only did I save money on calling a repair service, but I also found a $20 in the dryer (along with more lint that you can imagine)! Thank you!

[@jgeiger462]

My Dryer made loud screeching noises, so we thought maybe we needed new dryer since it is 15+ years old. I did research and saw there was a repair kit for $50+ with new belt, rollers so I thought why not try it since new dryers cost $700 to $1000. I had my buddy help me since it talked about needing 2 people. The only issue was removing wire harness in front, it took almost 20 minutes. To my surprise, one of the back rollers was laying in bottom along with metal shavings since large dryer drum was turning on metal. Replaced everything and put back together, along with cleaning years of lint all over. When completed turned back on and dryer ran like new, quiet and also drying faster. Thank you so much for providing such a complete repair kit.

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad you were able to complete your repair! Glad we were able to help you out. If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.

[@MrBDWilloughby]

Worked like a charm! Had a terrible shrieking sound, replaced all the wearable parts using your kit and youtube video instructions, and we're back doing laundry!

[@TheBugkillah]

My dryer was squealing a little, figured was the belt. Got it apart and it was the idler tension pulley needed cleaning and re lubing. Went ahead and cleaned and re lubed the 4 rollers, now my 17 year old dryer runs like new. Thank you!

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome!

[@jeffnelson5490]

THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES FOR PROVIDING THIS GUIDANCE AND VIDEO! YOU SAVED ME A TON OF $$ AND MY SANITY. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!

[@artauclair3459]

Well done Matt, we just installed a repair kit to our dryer. Thanks to your video we had no problems and no leftover parts. The dryer runs very quiet now, no loud squeal. Recommend that anyone going to this much trouble also clean out the vent tube all the way to the outside, we collected enough lint to knit a sweater. Thanks for the guidance.

[@appliancepartspros]

I'm so glad our video was helpful! And you're right - anytime you open the dryer, it's a good idea to go ahead and clean it out.

[@davidwalton1539]

We are SO HAPPY with your quality Whirlpool parts and FAST delivery. I must have hit your shipping deadline perfect, because we had our parts delivered by Fedex only 22 HOURS after ordering using your medium priced “fast” delivery! Folks, spend the extra $3 for “fast” delivery! I did have SEVERAL differences between my dryer and the one in this video, but they were all easily worked around and the job only took 2.5 hours including breaks and looking for a tool lol. Dryer is noise-free now!! Thanks for the GREAT SERVICE which I recommend to anyone in need of a DIY remedy.

[@davidhands4582]

Great video. Big help in my belt replacement Minor suggestion perhaps mention this is a good time to clean out lint that is all over the insides. I'm sure folks will do this once they notice where lint has gathered but a gentle reminder may be good idea.

[@jimg7810]

[@slickswick]

This video was awesome. I watched it once thinking, oh my, this is SO much work. But, with step by step instructions, I was able to take apart my dryer, install the kit, and put it back together... And it works! Thank you! I never thought I could get it done.

[@appliancepartspros]

+Chris Swick Awesome, glad the video helped you get the dryer repaired!

[@larrybud]

The hardest part working on washer/dryer is getting access to it. In my case, we have a very small laundry room which barely fits both machines!

[@JohnWatts-ni9hp]

Outstanding video that saved us a bunch of money. A few observations: Half of your time will be spent cleaning the lint inside the dryer - vacuum thoroughly, use compressed air to blow lint out of the motor there is a ton in there and lint + spark = fire. Beforehand, empty your vacuum's canister and after you are done vacuuming, dump the contents on a newspaper and go through it for lost items - you will be surprised what you find! The triangular rings (tri-rings) are, on replacement, very difficult to move all the way down the pulley post - if the inner ring looks good, leave it alone and just put a new tri-ring on the outside once the pulley is in place. To remove the old outside tri-ring, use a pair of cutters. The washer for the idler pulley - use this, even if you find a tri-ring was used on the inside position. Clean each pulley with a solvent like denatured alcohol or Gumout on a towel - there is buildup that will keep the pulley from moving a smoothly as it should. Good luck and enjoy the wonderful sound of your repaired dryer!

[@josephfallon4133]

Thanks for the video! I did the whole kit replacement because I needed to replace the broken belt and figured it was a good time to replace the rollers. Never had experience in doing this before. Went well and better yet it worked when I was finished. Learned a lot while doing it. Not bad for an 80 yr. old.

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome!

[@davvidroip]

GREAT video! There were a few differences with my dryer, but overall it took me about an hour. The most difficult step was getting the dryer belt back over the idler pulley and motor. But I took the back of the dryer off and it was on in a jiffy. $30.00 for parts, and this video saved me a ~$150.00 service call. Thank you very much!

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome! That belt can be tricky to get back on, but all you can do is muscle it back on there. Glad we could help!

[@someoneoutthere1866]

Thank you very much for making this!!! The hardest part was connecting the belt to the tensioner and motor, had to watch that part about three times.

[@owlpower7617]

Thanks for posting this. It is an excellent set of step-by-step instructions. I used this video today to repair a Duet dryer purchased in 2005. For us the old pulley seemed to be the problem, as it was squealing when the dryer was running. It is working fine now.

[@elainedenton1946]

I was able to replace the dryer kit myself. It took me about 3 hours. This video is fantastic. I didn't need any other resources. Thanks guys!

[@GJacobson-t8v]

Video worked perfect for my Maytag dryer too. Best thing ever! Idler pully bearing was shot (squealing and nearly frozen) and belt was starting to split so did the full kit while in there. One thing to note is he wears gloves and you should too. After my second cut on sharp edges I woke up and followed his example.

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad you were able to fix your issue! If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.

[@leekelly7482]

Its great that your parts are Whirlpool parts and not some cheap knockoff. I have confidence your parts will work.

[@DonofrioPetTV]

I bought the kit for about $50 and did the repair myself. I saved over $250. My unit must be older because there were some slight differences. The vent housing had 4 screws, (no clip), there were no ribbon cables, they were wire bundles with barely enough slack to move out of the way but the biggest difference was the tub orientation. My clip was in the back half. I knew it was wrong but decided to follow your video and assembled the drum and the belt around the gear pulley and as I was spinning it the belt kept moving away. I reversed the drum position and it’s working fine. Mine is stacked in a closet so I used a ladder to get to the top. It was a little tight to get to the screws on the top/back so I used a socket. The most difficult time I had was removing the old triangle washers and moving the new ones down the shaft from the first groove. My dryer is about 16 years old and I just couldn’t see spending over $300 to replace the shredded belt. I am so glad I did this myself. I found about 1/2 lb of lint, sand, pet hair [and a gum wrapper] clogging up the vent just below the lint screen even though I use a long brush to clean it out regularly. Also, the motor coils were compacted with dense, fine lint. There was so much lint and pet hair inside, that I am surprised it didn’t cause a fire. Thank you for an easy to follow video and good deal on OEM replacement parts.

[@LulluTube]

I just fixed my dryer myself thanks to your fantastic video. THANK YOU!!!!

[@ErikGramling]

Same for me! Idler pulley had seized!! This isn't as easy as they make it look though. I'm a handyman but I needed my adult son to help me. What makes it harder is the inside of my older dryer was a bit different and we did one step too much trying to follow what we saw on the screen. But nevertheless...a fantastic video. This CO rules! I have used them for years! Thanks Appliance Parts Plus!

[@appliancepartspros]

You are welcome! Glad you were able to fix your issue! If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.

[@cgtigrad]

We don't have the exact model in this amazingly informative video but we followed along, bought the repair kit and installed the idler pulley and now our whirlpool is running like new! Thank you so very much.

[@aquaticfacilitytrainingott7444]

Just used this video to fix my dryer! Other than ending with 2 extra screws, it went perfect! My hardest part was installing the new belt on the tensioner but I paused the video and that was all explained

[@ericchriste293]

Thank you. My son and I followed your instructions and repaired the squeak.

[@michaelwakus]

This was extremely helpful and I probably saved a couple hundred in labor doing it myself. The kit cost me $24 and a couple hours of time, but that sure saves me money on having someone repair it. Great video :)

[@XwoooahX]

I fixed our loud squealing dryer today with this replair kit and with help from this video! It runs like new now. Awesome instructions! Thank you!

[@peggyulm4951]

thank you so much, even though my machine was a little older 2008, the video was so helpful. My grandson and I did it together in about 4 hrs. and we had a good time doing it. We saved so much money and I believe it will make it another 10 years, I hope!

[@JohnDoe-df2zz]

Best video I found for this fix. My dryer is slightly different but this still fixed it. I installed the whole kit since it has 10+ years of wear on it. The tension pulley was the culprit but there was no reason not to replace everything in the kit since getting the thing apart was really the hard part. Putting on new parts was a breeze.

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad we could help!

[@hollysanguedolce1480]

Great video, very easy to follow. Took about 90 minutes for the repair, which included a lot of vacuuming of lint/dust that had gathered throughout the years in the dryer. We've had the dryer for 10 + years, and this was the first repair to it. We originally thought it was time to drop serious money on a new set. Definitely not the case. Thank you for the video.

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad the video helped you get the dryer up and running!

[@chuckbeams]

Thanks for the video! I ordered the parts and had the dryer fixed in 60 minutes. Don’t let the mass deconstruction scare you.. it’s really simple. It also gave me a chance to really clean out the dust and about $2 in coins.

[@fbucking]

Instructions and parts were both excellent. My dryer was making a loud squealing noise. It was a slightly older model than the one in the video, it did not have the computer ribbons just some power clips to disconnect and some wires plugged in to the mother board. Disassembly was also slightly different since there was a decorative piece that covered the switches on the front and the top console did not come off quite the same, since it snapped around the outside of the drum. What was truly interesting (and the probable cause of the squealing), was the original assembly of the idler pulley . There was no washer behind the idler pulley. Instead one of the triclips was installed there without a groove to sit in. Both of the triclips on either side of the pulley were brittle, discolored and showed signs of having been very hot. I installed all of the parts in the kit and they fit fine. The dryer is back running like a champ. I would highly recommend your video and your parts.

[@dominickstaunton9517]

This was extremely helpful. Step by Step very accurate and easy to follow. Saved myself a few hundred dollars.

[@trentstubbs]

Just verified my model number and ordered this kit. My Dryer was making a knock knock sound for like a year. I let it roll, now it started making a horrible racket. Its a chick chick chick bearing noise. I don't feel like taking the thing apart more than once so I'll chock it up to maintenance and replace it all. Your video shows good detail and from someone who has never repaired a dryer, this looks super easy. I will be using your site for any other parts I may need in the future!

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad the video helped you get the dryer fixed!

[@trentstubbs]

now i gotta figure out the new problem with the washer! F11 MCU communication problem! ACK!

[@appliancepartspros]

Without knowing what you have, I would suggest posting the problem along with the appliance model number on our repair forum and the techs can help you troubleshoot the problem. forum.appliancepartspros.com/

Thanks for the video! I ordered the kit and successfully solved my dryer squeal.

[@sdemark]

Thank you so much! This video was extremely helpful. I had a destroyed belt that covered the inside of my dryer in black dust and shreds. Replaced all the parts easily by following your directions and got to clean the huge mess inside.

[@edbrandt8972]

I just bought a used Whirlpool Duet dryer which I am told is noisy. I think all I need is one of these roller/belt repair kits and it should be good as new. Thanks for posting this video!!!!

[@jjmcg9688]

Great video, mine if I ask why you didn’t apply any lubricant to the idler pulley?

[@paularthur8055]

This video was a great help even though my Whirlpool Duet dryer model # WED9500TW@ had a few differences. The biggest difference was the way the console is removed. Mine has a trim ring that goes around the door that is attached to the console but once I figured out that all I had to do was pop the trim loose then lift the console off, everything else went smoothly. Glad I ordered the entire kit, it turned out that the problem was the idler pully locked up and the belt just kept turning and eventually wore a groove in the plastic idler roller pully. That explained why the dryer drum would turn but very slowly and not at all at times. Thanks again.

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad the video helped you get the dryer fixed!

[@richgallegos5807]

I just finished getting my dryer back together and everything cleaned up... my first thought was to come here and talk about the difference between the dryer in the video and mine, which coincidentally happens to be just like yours! I know it's a two year old post, I thought I'd just give you a shout out and tell people READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE DOING THE WORK! If I had done that I wouldn't have been as frustrated! Enjoy the day!

[@newtguy]

Paul Arthur Thanks, I was a little confused until I read your post! I was having the same problem!

[@tyleriverson5025]

I'm about to tackle this same project with our WED9500TW3 and I am expecting the same trim difference. Was the trim piece easy to remove/pop loose? Any screws or tabs I need to be aware of that you remember?

[@fredhogan1698]

Great video! followed it step by step and had no problems. Also bought the roller repair kit it suggested and it came the next day. Great service.

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad the video helped you get the dryer fixed!

[@JohnDoe-hu9ve]

OK, so this is an absolutely brilliant video. My Duet dryer is a little newer and a slightly different model, but this showed me what needed to happen and I figured it out. However, am I the only person that thinks the entire dryer should be made out of the "tri-ring" material? Those things were an absolute B**** to get off and they are made of some tuff stuff. I noticed that even the video cut-out a bit while he was removing them - likely to sensor out the swearing involved. Bravo on a great video and thank you very much for producing it.

[@debwalker4379]

Thank you SO MUCH for this video!!! Exactly what I needed to have enough confidence to replace the pulley myself! And to remember, with the videos help, how to get it all back together! You ROCK!!!

[@kevinsmyk1500]

Do you put any lubricant/grease on the rollers? Seems weird to get let metal on metal rub. Would rather have a ball bearing upgrade if available. Thoughts? Grease? no grease?

[@JoeDeMasiScience]

Great video, was able to fix my Whirlpool Duet dryer. Loud screeching noise, turns out it was the idler puller. The only issue was that my dryer was a newer Whirlpool Duet dryer, the front panel was more difficult to remove that the older model shown in the video. I had to bend it up to access two hidden screws.

[@jim9754]

Great instructions, learned more than I thought I knew, I feel like I can fix anything now. Thank you very very much.

[@senpai16]

This was very helpful. I thought I had identified the squealing of my dryer to be a worn drive belt, flied this took it apart and put it back together only to find its something else in the line. so gotta go get those pieces and try again tomorrow lol hopefully that addresses the issue

[@d.brittain7853]

Great video! I ordered the parts and followed it step by step. Totally saved me!

[@tonyrynearson4516]

Overall I got what I needed from this video. Should mention however that your demonstrator installed the drum in backwards. At the @ minute mark on the video, he makes a point to mention the black line that the belt makes on the drum, and proceeds to point right at the opposite side, without the black line. He also mentions that the silver tab going in front, when it actually goes towards the back. I followed the reassembly instructions and even though it went together just fine, I quickly noticed the belt line on the opposite side, and a slight gap around the rear drum felt seal. Funny, when he took it apart it was correct.

[@mermalar]

I’m taking pictures as I take my dryer apart to help me put it back together since your comment gave me pause. Also using a Sharpie to mark connectors and tub direction. Love these videos-nicely done.

[@allent1034]

Agreed. I thought I knew which way to put the drum back but when he said the silver tab goes in the front, I turned mine around to match. Sure enough the belt does not ride where it used to set. The drum looks symmetrical so I am going to leave it. I don't think it matters, it seems to spin fine. My drum felt was more worn on one side so maybe rotating it will give it more life. I reply again if it runs funny and I need to turn the drum around.

[@iliketurtles536]

yes!!!! I took tons of pictures and the tab goes towards the back and not the front

[@chrissewell1608]

​​​@@mermalarYes, a Sharpie Magic Marker is always good to make notes on direction, screw sizes, or "Do NOT REMOVE", etc! I will mark my drum direction for future needs! And tic the obvious belt line! I have even started a notes sheet, I tuck inside a zip lock bag, that states every time I have made repairs. This is just to track the life span of Amazon heating elements, and other replacement parts!

Good deal , when I took my idler pully off the shaft on the idler arm was scared up , note the inside of the factory roller was smooth , factory defect I guess, replaced the entire idler arm and pulley , this pulley has ball bearings ,note factory didn't. I think it will probobly last a little longer since this is the third time being disassembled for squeaking , I didnt replace guide rollers last time either , this time it's getting belt , rollers and high grade idler pulley, thank you for the video good sir .

I splurged for the OEM parts. The parts were just right but I struggled on the installation. I couldn't get two of the wiring connections apart. I spent two hours trying then broke off the retention part of the connectors. I suppose that was operator error. Other than that and an hour cleaning lint from everywhere the job went fairly smooth. I rely on Appliance Parts Pros for the right parts.

[@swright127]

Thanks for the directions. The only 3 things I would add: 1) when removing the front lower panel I placed the dryer on a 2x4 to help lift the front to access the screws. 2) instead of pulling out the wheel's triangle clips I used wire cutters to clip them as pulling them off was taking too long. 3) when working in the computer board area my model had some anchor clips that needed to be un-anchored to free the cables to avoid pulling them when gaining access to that area. On reassembly I just pushed the anchors back.

[@appliancepartspros]

Good video, however I'm a little concerned about the alignment of the belt. You stated that the belt should go back over the mark on the drum and the silver tab should face out towards the front of the unit. I did it exactly how you said and my witness marks from the belt are not in the same place as neither is yours. I hope the drum is not backwards or does it really matter?

So what exactly is that silver tab that has to face the dryer door. I could have sworn than when i removed the drum the silver rab was towards tbe back. What does matter?

Great Video. Can you tell me why they go bad I have it almost 2 years to the date. Is this the normal for these dryers.

+Euclid Antunes What went bad after 2 years, the whole kit?

[@JoeYoung25]

+Euclid Antunes That's not normal. What went bad? I have had mine for 8 years and I'm just now replacing mine because the belt broke. The rollers are still OK but I'll replace them too since they are included. My dryer was not cleaned out very well and it was smelling and feeling hot and when I opened it up it looks like the belt runs very close to the heating element so I think that could wear on the belt faster, it was also very cracked, I hope for at least another 8 years with my dryer.

How fast the thing wears out depends upon how many kids you have. :D Between my kids, my wife, and I, we wear out laundry equipment pretty dang fast. But seriously though 2 years is way too fast for that stuff to wear out.
