Whirlpool Duet Electric Dryer Disassembly - Dryer Repair Help

[@01mrod]

You can never go wrong with RepairClinic. With this step-by-step video, I was able to take my machine apart, change the heating element, and put the machine back together easily and effortlessly. I'm an older woman and the videos are so detailed that I can follow along. Thanks RepairClinic!

[@greglarson5080]

I would not have been able to repair my dryer and replace the belt without this video! It took a lot of searching on the web to find a detailed video on how to disassemble and reassemble my dryer. Excellent video!

[@XwoooahX]

I fixed our loud squealing dryer today with help from this video! This was my exact dryer so this was very valuable in learning how to take it apart and put it together again. The only thing this didn't have was replacing the belt and idler pulley which is what I did with help from another vid. But, this was great instructions. Thank you!

[@mathewn3006]

Which other video?

[@lindonpaul9140]

What was the other video? Can you share it ? Did you replace It from the back pannel or disassembled as shown in the video ?

[@AugustMaynard]

Thank you for this video. I successfully replaced the belt, pulleys, and rollers with this really excellent tutorial. I appreciate the narrative, too. Really saved me a ton of time. Thank you!!

I gotta say as a heavy equipment maintenance Tech this video is absolutely outstanding! So I don't forget where wires or various sized bolts go, I take a picture with the phone :P Been doing this since polaroid days.

[@repairclinic]

Thank you for the tip!

[@pjgeraghty623]

Neede to replace my lint screen holder assembly. This video made it easy to understand how to disassemble AND REASSEMBLE the dryer! If/when my dryer needs repairs again, I’ll be able to do it myself! Thanks!

[@juxtapos99]

Sporadic squealing over the last two months became constant last night. This video was dead on and helped me disassemble my dryer for the first time. I vacuumed out the insides and as best I could the rollers and pulley and the squealing went back to sporadic. I ordered their pulley/roller maintenance kit because I couldn't figure out which single part was squealing. At least the dryer works ok so I don't have at the very top of my to-do list replacing the pulley and rollers. It took me about 3 hours start to finish for everything I did but without moving the dryer, taking apart the lint trap and vacuuming everywhere (including the duct to outside and floor under the dryer), a disassembly and quick vacuum of the pulley/rollers would have only taken about an hour. Thank you!

[@barbarabruno9598]

Had to clean the lint out of my unit...this was the only place I could find out how to disassemble. Thanks so much!!! BTW....since they make both electric and gas versions, you may want to remind folks to shut off the gas to the unit as well before they start working on it.

[@chrisplante9186]

10/10 these guys are great you can even go to there website and get parts with your model number. Changed fuse and heating element in an hour with this video

[@maysonpeffer5468]

This is simply the most comprehensive and yet easily followable video ever! Well done and thank you as this helped me fix a problem for $10 that would have cost $600 on a service call.

[@repairclinic]

Awesome!

[@ytaccount2000]

I have a same dryer except it runs on gas. It was making loud squeaking noises. I followed the steps described in the video to remove the drum. Then I cleaned and lubricated the 4 rollers and the idle pulley, and the noises went away. Your video has been a great help. Thanks a lot.

[@exnihilo2601]

What kind of oil/lube did you use? Where on idler pulley did you lube?

[@ytaccount2000]

@@exnihilo2601 I used the green grease that I used on the threads of bicycles. About the idler pulley, I did not dissemble it, and only put a little grease in its bearing outside; I am not sure if it is effective.

[@tony_8209]

Very helpful. My dryer all of sudden started to have metal scraping sound, I took the dryer apart and added lubricant to 4 of the anchoring wheels, the main motor and the belt gears, it's now good as new.

[@tomkoolman]

What type of lubricant?

[@tony_8209]

@@tomkoolman 51004 synthetic oil from super lube

[@tony_8209]

@@bobguy6542 Actually, the wheel at 6:06 was the real culprit in my case. Just lubing that fixed my problem... You'll probably need to lube it every two or three years. Just did mine the second time two months ago.

[@exnihilo2601]

​ Thank you.

[@clemhill]

Very helpful for replacement of rollers, belt and idler pully. $20 bucks for parts and I'm hoping the heating element doesn't go out anytime soon.

Thanks for this video! Especially the walking us back through assembly.

[@theneckwork7734]

This video got me so many brownie points I will get plenty of happy times for fixing our dryer. Was lint all over inside and I think it ruins thermal sensor and heating element. Replaced all three. This video was of my exact model.

[@cvbvtv9691]

That's a good video. I had a really hard time getting the belt over the pulley. It seems the spring had become misaligned a bit and once I straightened that out everything worked fine.

[@slick60]

Here I am watching Apr 2 2021 with a 15 month old Whirlpool YWED5620HD dryer that has a vibration and noise from the drum. 2 old people wash once every 2 weeks, no pets and the thing is past its' warranty period. This video is most excellent if in fact my model is basically the same as this one. Now I can see if it is from a belt or drum rollers where the problem may lie. I can tell everyone one thing - DO NOT BUY A WHIRLPOOL DRYER or am I just unlucky? I subscribed to Repair Clinic. Most concise presentation Thank you.

[@krazyj1957]

The whole thing has to come apart to get the heating element?

[@michaelsheridan8504]

Thank you!!! I was able to take it apart, grease the part that was squeaking and put it all back together again!

I am trying to get to the thermal fuse. Do you think I will see it after removing the front bulkhead only or do I need to also remove the drum? Thank you!!

[@guyhammaker3570]

Can you replace the felt on the drum after the bulkhead is removed without pulling the drum out or does the drum need completely removed. Thanks.

[@mosesdueck4198]

We just tore the thing apart, and sprayed all the moving bits with oil. Reassembled and tested. Now it's belching out heat. I'm not sure if it's just because it was SO PACKED with dust, lint, and hair, that it was simply NOT running hot before and now it is just up to its potential, or what ... I mean, it hasn't been opened and cleaned in ~7 years... Will run a text load and see if it is an issue or not.

I have the gas model and had good luck with it so far, about 5 or more years. Had to take it apart once to replace the bearing wheels and nylon slides at the front. It was all in a kit that was about $20. Now have to disassemble it again to diagnose a burnt popcorn smell. To be fair, we have done laundry for a family of 5 (2 parents, 3 kids) for about 5 years or more.

The dryer takes in excess of 2hrs to dry the clothes, What is the cause ? Is the heating element or the fuse or the thermostat?

Clean up your hose and all the debris that made have been left over time all the way to the exit for the outdoor, also clean out the inside in the back of your dryer and clean up your filter grab a tool and suck all witg a vaccum the leftover debris and fluff from your clothes in the inside were the filter goes and your dryer should start working really well, if you do this on a regular basis your dryer will last you for a long time.

These days if your dryer fails, you just freaking toss it. I replaced a belt on an Amana thats probably 16 years old. Also replaced the spark ignitor. If anything else fails, its going in the dump. Just buy the cheapest dryer you can, bc even a cheap one will last 15 to 20 years, and the time you'd spent repairing any of it, if you havent done it before is wasted precious time. The couple hours it took replacing the $8 belt is time I will never get back. Its dumb. And if you call a repair man, minimum, he is going to charge you half what you paid for the POS dryer in the first place. and the repair folks are generally dumber than a box of rocks, OR they are smart as the fox in the hen house, and your shredded belt will suddenly turn into multiple repairs (unneeded) and a drive by robbery of your pocketbook just to 'pad' the repair guys own dirty pocket.
