How to Change Dryer Belt on A Whirlpool Dryer

[@coffeehouseny]

Cracked me up Jason...bangin around the drum like a gorilla in his cage with no banana...hysterical. Kudos for the video instructions and bravo for posting a 'real time' repair with no prep work. Worth mentioning is giving a good cleanup and vacuum while doing this maintenance to prevent dryer fire hazards - not so uncommon in households.

Way to go! Thanks for your help. I bought a belt for 4 bucks ...didnt need rollers or spring pulley. I wasnt sure how to route the belt , but your video showed me. Up and running in no time...

[@Danthemanfromny]

Okay so, not all of us have a super hottie to help us along the way. I am glad you posted it though. It shows that dryer repair doesn't have to be a drag, but instead may be a playful couples activity.

[@MrOuchiez]

"super hottie"?! Damn, there mustn't be many female options in your area/life.

[@blancariney]

Thanks for posting. With the knowledge you all provided we was able to repair ours with no instructional manual.

[@JoeWittwer]

very encouraging! i thought the wide band on the back of the drum was the belt, until I watched your video. i'm off to the parts store.

[@vwdank]

Thanks I just fixed my dryer because of this video. I just want to thank you for taking the time to make it

[@paulmeyer1001]

Thanks, your video was a whoot. The pro in the other video gave some nice heads up hints but you guys were fun to watch.

[@ThomasSisson1]

This is instructive, but an example of how things go when amateurs like us attempt things like this.

[@adelalarumi]

So Cute! Thanks... I love the way you dove into to unplug the dryer... LOL .. Thanks for the vid! When you take the screws out by the lint collector.. be extra careful... it is easy to drop them into the dryer assembly. (Been there, done that). Put a rag or something into the lint collector, that way, if you drop a screw... it wont get lost.. or worse, damage the motor. Buy your lady a socket set for her birthday. :) The 2 screws to take the front panel off are 5/16 socket. In my experience, if you turn the drum manually "backwards"... like if you are trying to access clothes to make it easier to get to them.. it will knock the belt off of the idler pulley.. arrrg.. happened to me too many times! If you have to go in to put the belt back on the idler pulley.. my advice is that you my as well replace the belt while you're in there. Thanks for a good vid! You guys are cool. The hardest part of the repair is to make sure your route the belt correctly. That is the confusing part... :)

[@DJMDHertzel]

Thank you for this DIY guide. You guys are cute together.

[@yambo59]

A socket set - even a cheap one - would have been a huge help. But still good to see a decent appliance go back into service another 10+ years instead of being thrown on the scrap pile.

[@markteague8889]

Amen!

[@bryankaelin4323]

Thanks for making this video! It saved me a lot of guess work.

[@KidCharlemagne.]

Thanks for the video guys great info, it saved me over 200$

[@DrRChandra]

Electricians are sometimes a bit impractical with placement of outlets. Thanks for the demonstration. Crescent wrench will do, but it's a little easier if you have a socket or nutdriver.

[@boyblue737]

This video was awesome, even if i did not have the exact same model. But you need ta buy that young lady a socket set!!!!!

[@guitarpicker401heh]

thanks man my belt was broke and the tensioner was missing the wheel and so I did not know how the belt and tensioner were together with the motor thanks again....

[@pumpladwill]

Awesome! Thank you for the demo 👍Cute girl nice tush😋

[@gng4life]

Great video, thanks. It would have been better if the hot lady would have plugged the power cable back in too :)

[@jensenchun4955]

My problem my front panel is not one piece it is two piece. I pretty much got the top off and unscrew the front top but can't get the lower panel off. It does seem to be welded or bolted on but I can find access to the screw if it exists? My lint tramp isn't on top but right inside once you open the door. The video seem to skip over that portion? Any ideas?

[@joemama62]

Can you show me once more how to unplug the dryer??? :-)

[@markteague8889]

Yes! I didn't quite get that part either. :P

[@matthewsalvador9783]

Lol this is such an old video… it’s helpful but funny at the same time… i dont know if y’all still using the dryer I doubt it lol or even together still… unrelated I know. But any who this reminded me of Blair which project…

[@Dasie666]

This video helped so much

[@erikev]

You can slip the new belt on without disassembling the whole dryer.

[@Cala52100]

great video now I don't have to buy a new one

[@samiakamel212]

[@PlymouthColony]

[@Danthemanfromny]

Maybe, just exaggerated at knowing I will do the job alone..

[@larrycornett2250]
