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!
Which other video?
What was the other video? Can you share it ?
Did you replace
It from the back pannel or disassembled as shown in the video ?
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.
Thank you for the tip!
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!
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!!
You're welcome!
We are always happy to help. If you would like to give us a review on Google, we would much appreciate it: g.page/r/CcVUrahZNozMEBM/review
We hope that you have a great day!
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!
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.
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.
Awesome!
Thanks for this video! Especially the walking us back through assembly.
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.
What type of lubricant?
@@tomkoolman 51004 synthetic oil from super lube
@@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.
Thank you.
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.
What kind of oil/lube did you use? Where on idler pulley did you lube?
@@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.
You took apart everything except the parts I needed.
Facts🤣🤣😭
Ya wtf
If you can't figure it out by now, just stop messing with it. Call a professional.
LMAOOO
The most common thing they didn't even do
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
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.
You're welcome!

Have a great day!
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.
Thank you!!! I was able to take it apart, grease the part that was squeaking and put it all back together again!
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.
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.
Thank you very much!

Many thanks

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!!
Thanks for the help 😊🎉

Thanks a lot, this video helped me fix my kenmore dryer
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.
Thank you, just what I needed. Now if I could figure out how to play it backward for reassembly :P
😆😆😆 OMG!!!! I can guarantee that you didn't watch the ENTIRE video did you....I don't mean to laugh, BUT REALLY????
Thanks. It’s really helpful.
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.
@@repairclinic working just fine. I usually maintain my appliances much more often, but two years ago I went blind. This put a fairly solid damper on things. But it's done now, which is great. And once I've done it once, more times will be easier.
Is this a good dryer. I’m looking at one second hand.
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.
What do I do if it doesn't even turn on I've checked my breaker and it's plugged in ?
It was my heating element. That this is doooooone. Looks like a component touched the metal on the bottom and welded itself to the metal and exploded about 4 inches from the connector.
How do you adjust the temperature and dryness level
Does the dryer have a reset button
How do you replace theramal fuse?
I have the same dryer . When my dryer runs, there’s like a sand sound when its running. I believe the sound is coming from the drum. How do I fix this?
I have this same dryer. Turns on, when start button is pressed it makes a soft click but won't run. Forgot to mention it would run for 10 min.
Mine to
Found what is was. There was a problem in the electric grid. Instead of 240v we were getting 320v making the dryer to overheat. The whole town was affected.
DJ Doctor Style have u fixed this problem if so how?
same. how did u get that fixed?
@@jweehzika171 in my case I had to leave dryer disconnected until power company fixed the issue. Both washer and dryer from this model broke down after a year. After multiple issues with not heating, mainboard issues, door lock on washer ect ect I threw them away and got a new Electrolux set. NEVER looking back at Whirlpool.
Any suggestions as to why a dryer is not spinning as fast as it use to? Dryer still heats up as usual but sometimes won’t spin or struggles to spin. Suggestions. Thanks
@@bobguy6542 thank you. Will try to clean out completely this weekend.
@@bobguy6542 maybe I’ll do it on Father’s Day. 😏😁
Think I have change in my dryer, can hear it when it’s on. Any suggestions on how to get it out?

How to remove drawer underneath dryer?
My dryer started making a strong smell. Smells like hot electrical wires. Have the dryer apart, where do I start checking components?
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.
What is this model?
I have an older model whirlpool duet dryer. The drum spins and it heats up but keeps shutting off. Anyone have an idea what the problem may be?
You forgot the Motherboard.. The part that frequently causes an F-01 error code..And can be repaired with a little knowledge and a online video for those that are handy at such things..Without a service call...
after changing belt dry wont do nothing.

I have a kenmore WASHER that will not pump the water out and only hums when I alone it to pump the water out. what can this mean? please help!
My Whirlpool Duet Sport was doing the same thing three years ago. I replaced the pump on it myself in February 2020 and I haven't had any issues with it since then. It was a very easy fix and I was able to purchase the pump for around $20.
MY DUET CONTROL WILL NOT START THE LITE SAYS PANEL LOCKED ?
Hold the lock button for three seconds? Just a guess...

My dryer doing same thing did you find the problem
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.
Someone needs to tell that poor guy that they sell cordless drills at HD.
The reason we didn't use a cordless drill is to prevent the screw from stripping on this dryer.
What is the model # of this dryer?
DHzn-ele-2406024-el54
Really should buy an electric screwdriver...
