Thank you so much. This 68-year-old woman just repaired her own dryer. The hardest part was trying to find a wire hanger in my house. Your step-by-step instructions helped save me a maintenance call. The install of the belt took less than 1 minute. I spent the next 10 minutes trying to line up the latch and holes on the front panel. Again, thank you.

[@davidlivingston6888]

This was probably the best, most concise, easy to follow and useful how to video I have seen so far. Nice work.

[@joycema69]

I agree very precise instructions! Excellent video! Thx👍👏

[@tishsummerville7953]

I used your video to fix my dryer. I like the detail you have in your video showing us exactly what to do in each step. I like your extra tips , like the clothes hanger & telling use to roll the dryer all the way around to make sure the belt is put on evenly, also to watch out for the felt. While putting on the belt Our felt got crimped, and we caught the mistake & fixed it. Thank you! Keep making videos!!😀👍

[@alifitz2647]

I agree 100% Piece of cake thanks to this guy!

[@hokieduck]

I watched three other vids before yours. Yours was the only one to use a wire to hold the drum (amazingly helpful) and yours was the only one to show the belt being installed groove side down (Amazon actually had a detail that showed that). Yours was also well filmed and bright enough to see! Thank you, Applianceman!

[@portiapittssoprano3558]

I agree with ALL OF THIS!

[@1412-n2n]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@nutibio]

Thank you for taking the time to show the steps to repair. Was very helpful.

[@davidtudor8953]

My gosh I’ve watched 1000’s of KZbin videos on how to repair cars, boat motors appliance’s etc…this is THE BEST HOW TO VIDEO IVE EVER WATCHED!!! Thank you!!!

[@danielledriscoll128]

agree the wire is a great tip.

[@tccoates2556]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I am a 55 year old grandma and was able to successfully replace my belt. Without you, I never would have know the coat hanger trick. That made it so simple. Works like a charm and it felt like I had you right by my side during the fix.

[@danielsaezv]

Way to go grandma! You’re a heroine!

[@donaldwhite8771]

This is by far the best explanation of this repair I’ve seen on the internet. Thank you for saving me a lot of money my friend!!!

[@emilysmall6759]

Just wanted to thank you, if you hadn't shown me that trick to hold up the drum, I am not sure I could have pulled this off, I was having a heck of a time. That made it very easy.

[@jazzaroomk2]

Just wanted to say- your video saved me a ton of money. Thank you so much for waking me through this repair!

[@goodear1540]

Straight to the point. Easy instructions. Not a bunch of nonstop talking. Thank you!

[@markshoenus2591]

I always tell everyone, Thank God for KZbin. Don't know how many thousands of $$'s I've saved watching vids like this over the yrs. Replaced the fuel pump on my 03' F150 last week thanks to YT and then the dryer stopped tumbling. On to that fix now. Thanks so much for this video.

[@donsryche1]

I know this video was well done because I was able to fix the dryer belt problem myself. Me. I did it, not some expensive repair company. I did it…thanks to this video and especially thank you for that wire hanger trick.

[@PabloLAlmodovar-lg6sg]

Angel You are a Master both at teaching and repairing! Your experience shows!

[@danielgabriel22]

Thanks. Great video. Four years later, you're still helping people. Great suggestion on the hanger. Instead of a hanger, I used an old charger cord. Got 12 years on the grandma.

[@thomasciampolillo1041]

Angel you’re the man great, easy to follow. Hardest part was getting a replacement belt. Thanks a ton

[@tonyjanney1654]

Thanks for the video. I found the pulley on the motor arm sheared as well. Able to get parts and repair the belt and motor arm pulley. You were right about the sharp edges. I found a lot of little nicks and cuts from the edges. As a bonus, if found over $7.00 on the bottom of the dryer.

[@dkaimasa]

This is so beautifully simple! I'm going to fix my dryer myself and save $250! Thanks!

[@landar317]

Hey brother, I’m handy enough to get myself in trouble but after watching this the repair was a breeze. I had to replace the belt and the motor pulley. $20 on Amazon and your video saved me hundreds. Well done!

[@kevinevans8892]

Thank you. I just changed the belt in my whirlpool dryer 10 minutes ago, following your instructions. I appreciate your video.

[@Disruptedgarage]

Best Whirlpool video! The coat hanger trick is epic! Allows a one person repair easily. Thank you so much!

[@Neek-splores]

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! my wife and I are not super savvy for home repair but 13 dollars from Lowe's later and your video we finished everything within 2 hours. You're the best man, and thank you for your service!

[@tmackie1694]

Very clear and helpful. Thank you! Update: just got my dryer working, hooray! I used a piece of string instead of wire to tie the drum in place while I was installing the belt. Oh and I found 41 cents in the bottom of the dryer - bonus! 😂 Thank you for your great video 😁

[@melwill541]

I’ve watched so many videos & yours is the first to show me how to disconnect the door wires! I’ve been trying & struggling, then I found you - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@joycesetiawan6293]

Thank you so much for posting this video! It was very helpful when my 20 yo whirlpool dryer stopped spinning. My husband and i were searching on youtube and found yours, so we did exactly what you did and now its working again. We only need to wait two days for the part from amazon, it took my husband about half hour (mostly to put the front panel back). Thank you again for sharing your skills with others, you are a blessing!!

[@keldance75]

Perfect video! Just enough info, no fluff, great filming and narration. Paid less than $10 to fix our problem just by finding this video. Subscribed!

[@scottstanley4378]

Bro, my thirty year old dryer slipped the pulley and thanks to your video I just fixed it. You are a boss. And I found 80 cents in the lent at the bottom of the unit

[@CrumbOneCrumbAll]

This video was so precise and easy to follow for fixing my Whirlpool Idler Pulley. Well done, easy to follow.

[@kellyboersma6028]

Thank you! As a recent widow I’ve had to learn new skills. This video was very helpful.

[@amberhouse1662]

Thank you for this video, I watched so many before I found yours, I couldn’t find how to install the belt around the wheel. As soon as I saw yours I had it done quickly.

[@luke7299]

Amazing and simple video. Life saver tonight. Three hours from first troubleshooting to problem solved, and that included a trip to Lowes to get the belt. Thank you!

[@virtualelvis]

Thanks for helping me fix my dryer. Love the fact that you don't have a lot of extra fluff. Straight tutorial. Right to the point.

[@lpatton4832]

Excellent instructions. I replaced the belt in my dryer today following your perfect instructions. I had ordered a new dryer from Lowes and after 3 failed delivery/installation appointments I decided to fix it myself. Thanks for saving me $600!

[@Rudeboy1703]

Angel. Excellent video. I'm not the handiest of people and managed to change the belt after watching it. Very detailed and well explained. Education is your true calling my friend. Thanks for taking the time to make it

[@alifitz2647]

You are awesome! I couldn't find a diagram, or an owners manual. You walked me through, fixing the problem, like a pro. I owe you a big thank you! You saved the day! Just awesome!

[@DEGOskar]

The lighting and fixed camera position helped a ton, especially step by step so I could repeat in my head while doing it , used the wire method as well! Thank you @theapplianceman!

[@gnadmot]

Thank you for clearly indicating the correct side of the belt to be placed around the drum. It resolved my problem of the drum not spinning after the belt was replaced when there are a normal amount of clothes in it.

[@pianotuna52]

Thanks applianceman! Precise filming of threading the belt through the pulley was crucial to giving the confidence to do the job. Success!

[@marymccue8455]

Thank you so much for this video. I repaired my dryer today with your help. I had my tablet with your video on the floor with me while I attached the pulley and belt. Very clear, very good camera work and the coat hanger trick is genius. Much appreciated!!

[@wandaallen9607]

This was so easy .Thank you for being so detailed!! Saved this 74 year old major money by doing as you showed. Thank you.

[@kimpham7519]

Thanks so much. The hanger trick to hold the drum was the best tip! Made it so much easier to replace the belt.

[@teklasmom4156]

Praise the Lord, Somebody!. Hallelujah!!!. Thank you so much for this video. As a single mom of 4 kids. Having a dryer is necessity especially in this winter. I watched this video. Read the review When to Lowes bought the belt and used my old pulley. And I did it with God's help. Am so so so happy. Thank you, Thank you and thank you. Happy Thanksgiving

[@rebeccarivas420]

Thank you for the detailed instructions! I looked at another one but he didn’t mention how to put the belt over the back pulley. My husband and I got it done! Thank you! I’ve subscribed for future DIY’s!

[@frankhoback8814]

Thank you for this video, made changing the belt a breeze. Never would have figured this out on my own, love spending $16.00 to repair versus a repair bill or new dryer. Thank you again!

[@Memo-nd6fj]

Watched another video that looked like it was an official video for the manufacturer, even had a uniform on. He did pretty much everything you did, except he held the drum up with his hand, and made it look much more harder than your trick with the cut hanger holding the drum up. Without that little secret this process would of been much harder. Also your info on the idler pully was spot on. My idler pully was like the one in your video and when I looked for replacement I could not find it, but the one you suggest is the only one that I could find without any explanation, but your video confirmed that I would need the other pully. Also your direction with using gloves was also informative. Much more valuable information than any other video out there! Subscribed!

[@tylerfletcher7488]

Theapplianceman is the man! Saved me quite a but of headache and cash!!! I love how you simply it by the step by step, it's precise and specific and doesn't leave room for doubt at any step! Thank you!!!

[@scottf411]

You are a life saver. Thank you! This is maybe the most clear and concise how-to video on KZbin. I appreciate you mentioning the sharp edges. Had you not, I certainly would've been careless and probably cut myself.

[@seanprados4829]

I wish I would have watched him first. He explains how to perfectly

[@kokopuffs5789]

That trick with the coat hanger wire made a big difference. Thank you good sir

[@russforbes9489]

Thanks for posting a great walk through the process, I was able to replace the belt with no issues. You weren’t kidding about wearing gloves! If you are doing this yourself make sure and wear gloves when removing and installing the panels the sheet metal is razor sharp in places.

[@demetriusmelvin2773]

Thanks for this video. With your instructions I was able to replace my Kenmore dryer belt!

[@GoldenFreckledGoddess]

Omg your video is the best. I too, looked at like 4 videos before yours. You need a donation link, I'd love to donate to such a helpful video. The clothes hanger was a helpful trick and you weren't kidding about wearing gloves. I ended up cutting myself 😩. However, I'm proud to say you helped me fix my dryer. 💯🙌🏽Thank you so much, May God bless you.

[@lisab5865]

I know this video is from years ago, but I had to tell you how much you helped me. When the dryer stopped working, my brother-in-law started phoning repairmen but I got on KZbin. I found your video and told him to order the part because we could fix it. Your video was SO easy to understand, informative, and showed exactly how to do it.... step by step. I finished fixing it! And there's clothes in the dryer right now. 😁 Thank you so much!!! You are an angel!!!

[@jamesweirich2266]

Just today I used your video to repair my Whirlpool Dryer. Excellent presentation and I found the new belt at Menards 10$.

[@rockydeleon5968]

Fixed my dryer and I am not a handy guy! Thank you so much for the effort you gave to make this video !!

[@zualaralte3256]

I could follow exactly as you instructed and i was able to replace by broken belt in under 30 mins! What a great video! Cost me 16 dollars. The cost of the new belt!

[@rhbmet]

Thank younso much! My belt jumped the pully as you described. Same make of dryer. Took less than 20 minutes to fix.

[@kostaeconomou3967]

[@brob3283]

Best video! I paid $13 for the replacement belt and fixed it myself. Thank you! 😊

[@katiesahibram3209]

This saved me some money,was the easiest instructions to follow.. successfully changed my drier belt.

[@rahkettsignz8716]

[@beardochesto3070]

This video taught me everything I needed to know. Please keep doing what you’re doing. Great help.

[@flycow69]

Nice job. I replaced the belt few times and I never had the idea of using a piece of wire to hold the tumbler. Thanks for the tip

Thank you so much, this video really helped me fixing the dryer in the apartment and it made me seem competent.

[@undeserved1781]

Very well made... very well done... most don't know the wire holding the drum step... some drums can be a pain to reposition.

[@christiereynolds1335]

Thank you for your help. It is the BEST video here with explicit directions. ❤❤❤

[@robvecchiola8551]

Amazing video! Saved me the cost of a repairman coming out!

[@darkdruidx]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! This is the 1st video that popped up when I searched for help on Google and I'm thrilled that I didn't have to go any further! My wife is skeptical about me fixing things around the house but this one was a no-brainer thanks to you and this easy step-by-step process. We needed the dryer immediately today and are using the old pulley but I ordered the one you suggested on Amazon and will do the process again tomorrow to install it when it arrives! You have a new sub and a grateful viewer! 👍🏾

Thank you from a NOLA diyGuy. Straight to the point. 10/10 😎

Saved me $600+. Yahovah bless you. Had some difficulty getting front back on. Also, screws go into tabs that can move out of position. Likewise the lint vent can move a bit. Great video.
