If your dryer looks like this one, this is the near-universal kit to fix it: bens-appliances.com/products/whirlpool-dryer-noise-repair-kit-4392065-includes-691366-341241-349241t?_pos=2&_sid=3c3430674&_ss=r
Thank you! My maytag dryer had suddenly started squeezing very loudly during a cycle. My wife found your video and dared me to do this "easy" repair just the way you'd done it. We ordered the parts listed here and for less than $30 we repaired our dryer in about an hour. You just saved us over $150 dollars in repairs. Cheers!
I wish I could hug you! You’re video saved me! I’ve been a single mom and I don’t really have someone to help me figure out these things but I found a marker in mine and now it works great again!!! Thank you again!
I love how quick and thorough this video is! 👏🏻 We are extremely poor right now and barely scraping by. I honestly thought it was the belt or rollers, so I looked at those first. 😂 Then I moved on to the blower and the blower fan is totally broken in half. I’m hoping I find the right blower to order. Thank you so much for helping all us gals fix our dryers! 🙌🏻😀
A helpful video! The first time I watched, you made me realize the importance of removing the back panel and cleaning that area. I'll be doing that seasonally from now on. I purchased your kit because my Maytag dryer was making a loud thumping noise, along with its signature squeak. While that makes for a wonderful beat for a background track, it's not conducive to a healthy appliance. I received the repair kit in 2 days (absolutely amazing!) and successfully fixed my dryer. All the parts fit perfectly! For anyone reading, I have the Maytag dryer model MEDC215EW1. Thank you, Ben!
Thank you! Just taking it all apart and putting it back together seem to somehow fix the banging around. The only tricky part was putting the beltloop back through the the idler pulley as your wrist was in the way for those crucial few seconds. Eventually got it figured out through trial and error and a bit of knuckle skin. Thank you, your video was extremely helpful and got the job done!
You saved me quite a bit. Had a loud whining noise and thought i was on the verge of a new dryer. Took the dryer completely apart per your instructions. Vacuumed and cleaned the inside....Back to normal. Thanks
I remembered how hard it was to get those DRAT tri clips off while replacing the wheels. WOW!!! Thanks for this vid that took me down memory lane. Cheers from S. CA
This video is legit! First one that showed the inspection of the blower housing and assembly. Upon inspection found a paint can opener that must've fallen into the lint trap area and jammed the blower wheel. Problem solved! No thermal fuses blown luckily. Thanks Ben!
Thank you for this amazing tutorial and parts listing!! I ordered the parts before even openings my drier hoping to just replace it all in one go. Turns out that hair got between the inside of the roller wheel and the shaft, rubbing DEEP grooves in both, so now I am waiting for my replacement left shaft to come in the mail to complete my install!
Thanks. Have this same exact model. Had it apart twice. Cleaned it up and lubed the rollers. Helped for a while. Ordered repair kit at your website today.
I totally fixed my dryer by watching this video! Ordered the parts kit in the link. Works perfectly. Thank you SO much for posting this. Saved us a lot of money!
Dryer started making a loud grinding noise this afternoon with a load full of sheets in it. Thankfully I was able to just follow the first part of the video and retrieve a golf pencil out of the fan. Thank you!
I ordered the parts through your link. Received them in 4 days. Followed your instructions and the problem is solved. Thank you! My dryer is a Maytag Dryer MGDC215EW2.
This was a very helpful video. Thanks for the content. I fixed my dryer and saved what would have been an expensive service call. I also learned that it would be crazy not to take it apart and clean it every two years or so! Our dryer is in the basement, so cleaning out the vent hose will really help it be more efficient.
You sir are my hero, not only did you have the video showing how to, you link the parts I need. Hell yes. Mine was a bad lower roller wheel but if I replace one, may as well replace it all
Thank you so much for this video! our Maytag dryer started making noise. We took the back side apart as shown in the video, and man! there were so many broken items (pencils, legos, jewelry, etc). After cleaning it all up the dryer is working as when it was new back in 2017. Next year we will check the front side and buy the kit.
Thank you so much for this clear, speedy and thorough tutorial! Our dryer was banging and followed your instructions (besides having to change any belts luckily) and got it to work like new! Thanks again
I gotta say i loved your video my man. We have same model and it was making some crazy violent noise and to be honest i still dont know what the issue was but i took it a part and put it back together and it seems to be working so ill take it haha. But your video really made things a breeze. If all appliances had repair videos like this I'd probably never buy another new one just keep repairing it. Gotta love right to repair.
Thanks a ton for this video. I watched a dozen others before finding yours and yours was by far the best video and exactly what I needed. I appreciate how you explained every step in the process and gave tips along the way to make it easier for us. I never thought I would be able to disassemble and reassemble a dryer! My dryer was making an awful dog-whistle-like squealing. I didn't have any replacement parts so I just followed your video and cleaned the wheels (I used brake cleaner) and put the tiniest amount of lithium grease inside the rollers. I also cleaned the pulley and put the tiniest amount of WD-40 on it (not the pulley itself but its moving parts). It seemed to fix the problem as the dryer is running wonderfully now. You might have said this but I would like to emphasize how sharp some of the metal edges are. When I finally got the front put back on I noticed I jad sliced two of my fingers (on different hands) on the inside of the front panel. It looked like a murder scene 😅 so be careful everyone.
Super helpful instructions. I did buy the kit but the belt was almost two inches shorter than the one on the dryer so I reinstalled that. Otherwise great stuff!
Helpful. But folks, when you take your dryer apart, pay special attention to the blower seal (gasket where the front of the dryer meets the blower fan). Mine was stretched out beyond re-installation. The replacement part for my Maytag MDE4000AYW is no longer available new. I lucked into a resale of one on ebay, but if I hadn't found a suitable replacement, replacing the drum rollers/axles, drum belt, and felt seal would have been too much time and money down the drain. Be forewarned and check your blower seal to find out if it is still in good shape before you open up those replacement parts.
😄...i caught the St Anger Metallica jab....reminds me of a similar post when you said "first lets chk the drum for trash that can make the noise and get rid of it" ...and you tossed the St Anger cd...lol classic 😎
This video was perfect man but I’d say to put the drum on the back pulley first too. That part was causing me a huge problem. Other than that this video was amazing. I wish I was rich so i could send you some money for removing the stress I just went through. I hope you receive good karma for being a good person. Asap.
Success!! I installed the kit today and the problem is gone. Thank you so much. BTW, I found about $4.00 in change inside the machine, a little reward for 90 minutes of my time to install the kit.
Interesting video to say the least. I appreciate the time you give to do it. Does the dryer sound quiet now? Also I notice you didn't use a power driver on the screws. Is there a reason for that? Thanks for the video.
I just dont for videos because I usually want people to think "Oh, I can fix this with just a screwdriver!" but the next video that bit me because of dealing with a side by side fridge. Eventually I'll probably just switch permanently to a power drill on everything because its just soo much faster on and off camera. We always try to use drills off camera, but on camera I've tried to make it simple. Dryer is quiet now and sold already
You have another sub! lol Have you done a video on freezers? I wasn't able to find one in your list...but I'm a dummy on computers, so it's possible I missed it. If not, could you? I am thinking: Upright vs Chest, Brands, Expected Longevity, etc. Also, how to repair if they still run but act more like a fridge than a freezer. I live in remote-ish Alaska, so having large freezers is very important to us. Thank you sir, you certainly have the gift of teaching!
that squeaking drive me crazy i spary White grease on the wheel shafts every 30 days it's worth it to not hear that squeaking sounds thank god i have a older Kenmore dryer it takes about 20 minutes to do 😊😊😊
Any thoughts on fixing newer model GE profile (model PTD60GBSR0WS) intermittent vibration from burner shield cylinder and back duct running up toward drum? There’s no missing screws or broken tabs from what’s shown in online IPC. The parts can be made to rattle just tapping on them.
Great video. Do you have a video for a Maytag gas/propane clothes dryer that is making noise? Would the repair parts you linked be the same? (The lint screen is at front, after you open door). Thanks!!
My Maytag centennial dryer has a issue where once it runs and for a while, if I open it to then close it and try to run it again, I hear a buzzing noise behind the timer selector wheel and it won't start up again until I unplug it and let it sit for a while. I bought a kit with all the sensors and the heating element and it didn't fix the problem. Any clues to what it could be?
I just did a dryer repair on my circa 1963 Lady Kenmore gas dryer. Every 15 years the blower belt stretches and starts with a squeal. Even my neighbor commented on the noise. This is the third time I installed a new belt. They say warm up the belt in water, then stretch it by hand. I managed to get it on, anyone know an easier way?
So my top load washing machine stops in the middle of a cycle and if I apply pressure to the lid it starts up again. What could the reason be for this?
PLEASE help!! My Maytag model is MGDX655Dw2...... I want to order the parts but im not too sure these will work on my model. Any help will be grateful. Thank you!!
Love your videos! Your appliance recommendations have saved us time, headaches and serious money. I have an older Maytag Ensignia Electric Dryer Model No.: MDE8757AYW (the lint filter is inside on the lower front of the unit). Will the Whirlpool Dryer Noise Repair Kit work for this model?
I have a top of the line Kenmore washer, top load, that won't drain on a regular wash. I have to move the dial to another setting, usually drain to get the water out. I'm a widow on a pension and can't afford a big bill to get it fixed. I'm pretty handy, so I'm wondering if I could fix this myself.

Thank you for your helpful video and all the information you provided!! 👍🏾
This is the best how to video I've ever seen. So thorough and articulate of the little things that can add hours to a project. Thank you.

This video was EXTREMELY helpful in diagnosing what was causing the noise. It ended up being a deteriorated rotor wheel.
I love how quick and thorough this video is! 👏🏻 We are extremely poor right now and barely scraping by. I honestly thought it was the belt or rollers, so I looked at those first. 😂 Then I moved on to the blower and the blower fan is totally broken in half. I’m hoping I find the right blower to order.
Thank you so much for helping all us gals fix our dryers! 🙌🏻😀
Thanks. My 16 year old just fixed the dryer. Works great and he got to keep the 92 cents in change he found inside.

Hi Ben I don't comment on many videos. But you do a lot in a short video. very well explained and great tips. thank you
It means a lot buddy!

Your pro tips were second to none. A pick set from harbor freight worked great for the wheel retainers.
Dryer started making a loud grinding noise this afternoon with a load full of sheets in it. Thankfully I was able to just follow the first part of the video and retrieve a golf pencil out of the fan. Thank you!
Glad it was a simple fix!
Your instructions were spot on. In what seemed like no time at all, the dryer was running smoothly again. Well done!
I ordered the parts through your link. Received them in 4 days. Followed your instructions and the problem is solved. Thank you! My dryer is a Maytag Dryer MGDC215EW2.
In my opinion, that is the best dryer design ever!
I love them. I could fix tem blindfolded
@@bensappliancesandjunk you would think the other manufacturers would get the idea

Another excellent demonstration, filled with key tips and your fearless techniques. Thank you!
Thank you so much! We actually pulled the dryer apart and have the confidence to fix it! The link for the replacement parts made my day.
Super helpful video!! My dad and I were able to take our dryer apart and figure out what was wrong with no issues!!
This was one of the best repair videos ive seen in a long time. Thank you so much
Great video! Thanks to you, I was able to fix my dryer, which had TWO things wrong with it!
I was able to fix my old Maytag PERFORMA gas dryer with this guide. Thank you Ben!
My exhaust fan had broken pencil that had jammed. You pointed me in the right direction. Fixed and cleaned
Fixed my squeaking with your video! Thanks so much! Way easier than I expected it to be!
Way to go!

Awesome video dude. Helped me so much I found the issue in the blower. Half a broken pencil. Thank you for what you do. I greatly appreciate it.
You're welcome
This is my exact dryer and im pretty sure my exact issue! Sounds like a thump as the drum spins. Thanks so much for this video!
Thank you so much for this info. My noise turned out to be one of the rollers. Easy fix with this video.
Ordered the parts from your video and replaced one wheel. Works perfectly. Thank you!!
Glad it helped!
This video helped me change out the wheel bearings on my Whirlpool dryer with relative ease. I'm bragging to everyone I know 😂. Thank you!
Amazing video. Got my dryer back up and working like new! Thank you
I know the struggle of putting the front door back on and yes, I've dropped the screws down into the cabinet making me take it all apart again.
Found enough change to pay for the Kit! Great video
Excellent how-to video, just perfect. Also loved the Metallica reference! Thank you!
Love how I found my exact dryer in a video with the same symptoms that started on mine like 3 min ago.
Super helpful instructions. I did buy the kit but the belt was almost two inches shorter than the one on the dryer so I reinstalled that. Otherwise great stuff!
Glad it helped
Great video! Clear and easy to follow. Best of all, fixed my squeaky dryer!

Surprisingly simple inside! What supports the drum on the front while allowing rotation?
Ben, could you do a video on what appliances you have in your home?
Also, top 5 things you can do to prolong the life of each of your appliances.
Great detailed to the point video! Thank you Ben! I am subscribed!

It was the blower wheel for mine! Thanks a ton!
Dude, thank you. Just save me a new dryer. Bought the kit thanx alot
Just ordered the repair kit in the link, will update this post with my results after I install it.
Success!! I installed the kit today and the problem is gone. Thank you so much. BTW, I found about $4.00 in change inside the machine, a little reward for 90 minutes of my time to install the kit.

Great reference right off the bat! 5 🌟 review.
Subscribed because you dressed the part
This was extremely helpful, thank you!
Great video!! Thank you 🙌🏻🙌🏻
5/16th... so 8mm. Great video. thanks
This was fantastically helpful.
Thank you for making this video!
Man, this guy looks like Tobias Tissen, who is a Canadian hero.
The similarity is uncanny!
Hey! I like the St. Anger album lol
Thanks a ton. This was very helpful.
Nice work Ben! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Should the one on the left spin freely or only a little bit after being replaced?
Awesome thanks for your great video 🙂 👍

Love this video. Was hard to find. But I will say dont u need to remove gas pipe and exhaust before unscrewing the back? Which I would never do o😏
What to do about a loose door that is causing a loud knocking noise?

Probably, but I'd need to know the model before suggesting another video I may have done regarding that sort of issue.
@@bensappliancesandjunk
Thank-you, I will get back to you.
thank you! fixed it!
Do you have a link for the felt? I fix everything but the dryer still doing metal sound
Not yet. I will see about finding/adding that
It's very satisfying doing your own repairs! Suck it planned obsolesce!
Can you make a video showing how to fix a Maytag dryer the drum seal on the back is coming off and is not aligned!?
Sure, I will see if we can add that some time. We do a fair bit of felt repairs for sure.. Never thought about recording one.
