This video saved me from having to replace my dryer. We couldn't reach anyone for repair, and we use our dryer daily. Because of its age, I was about to go to the Big Box and buy a new one, when I figured it couldn't hurt to watch a video or two. Luckily for me, I landed on yours. A fifteen dollar part (and about 90 minutes) later, we are back in business. So grateful to you for your careful, step-by-step instructions. (A belt replacement, by the way - the "Fits most Whirlpool 27-inch dryer" belt)
The hardest part of replacing my belt pulley and roller wheels was finding a video of the same model Duet Dryer that i had. Thank you for posting this, it made disassembly and reassembly a breeze!
What model is this? My wife just texted me saying the dryer won’t spin and smelled like burnt rubber so I’m thinking I need to replace the belt. Did you have a similar issue? I’m not home to find the exact model of mine but it does look exactly like the one in this video.
Great video! My dryer would not spin and kept stopping even with the lightest loads. The video helped me a lot so I bought the kit from PartSelect and had a friend help me install the 4 rollers, pully-wheel and the drum belt which took us about 2 hours. Now my dryer works perfectly! BTW, It's exactly like this one but uses gas. Saved me a lot of money by fixing it myself, thanks PartSelect couldn't have done it without you! Oh yeah almost forgot, I spent just under $60 with shipping and tax and received it in two days, just before Christmas! 😅
Thank you SO MUCH, Steve! I had the dryer halfway apart but could not figure out how to detach the control panel. Was ready to either call a repairman or get out the 2 pound ball peen hammer :-). Your video saved the day; was able to replace the belt and tension pulley, now it's running great. Thanks again!
This video was very helpful. The f01 code I found to be more of a PC Board Design Issue , the pad on the pc board was burnt considerably . I cleand the pc board and cleard away about a 1/4" of the copper trace and connected a short piece of 18 gauge straping wire around the Relay post and ran it down the trace and soldered it back up . cleaned the carbon arc marks on the inside of the white plastic housing and re-installed it back in the dryer . No parts needed just a PC Board Fix . Dryer working fine now . I used Brake clean and a small paint brush to clean up the housing worked very good and did not attack the the plastic . Thanks for the excellent video .
Thanks for taking the time to make the video. It was a big help. I'm not sure I could have done the job without it. It was very thorough and precise. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Just replaced the belt, tensioner roller, and drum rollers with the help of this video. Along with cleaning it out, it runs smoother than ever. This helped a lot figuring it out. Thanks.
That front panel was a goner for me, those clips are terrible, but got to the idler eventually, replaced the wheel and some drum wheels as well. Had to do redo the f01 solder job again and all was good. This really was super helpful
Great video, a big help, thanks. The metal clips around the cowl were the big problem for me. It may have been previously removed by a former owner but the barbs seemed slightly bent and half the clips snapped off their permanent mounts in the cowling when I removed it. I was able to snap them back in place but they came off again when I tried to snap it back in place, with several of them lodged in the collar around the door. So I had to half-disassemble the whole machine again to get those out. Superglued them to the cowling but a few still broke free when I tried to install it, so I decided to just live with a somewhat loose cowling. But I was able to replace the tension pulley and stop the squeak.
I have a Whirlpool compact front load dryer model WED7500VW that I need to change the start capacitor and do not know how to get to it. Front panel screws are too close to the drum to unscrew and back panel supports the drum. Any ideas?
The best studio tear down I have seen but there are several mistakes. Too bad they didn’t go through and correct them. I can work up an error list later maybe.

That's my issue, too... there's apparently like three/six different models of "Duet" out there.

Same with me. Man it was a bear working on it with my bad back and it’s a stackable one at that, but this video saved the day for me too!

Glad to hear it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this very helpful video. Our dryer suddenly stopped last week and we were able to fix it ourselves.

Sir you are the salt of the earth. You saved me a lot of money with this wonderful video. God Bless you!!!!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Exceptional video. Attention to detail and angles of view were fantastic.
Thanks to your video I was able to take apart my dryer so that I could replace some parts & put it back together successfully! Thanks so much!!!!
Best video to help fix my squeaking dryer!!
This video was extremely helpful. I was able to dismantle our dryer very quickly thanks to this video.
Great video, I had a broken belt and your video helped me out alot. Thanks so much for posting.
exactly what I needed for my model of Duet. thanks
Thank you for posting this. It was very helpful.
Thanks so much! Well explained!
Fantastic video!!
Thank you very much!
On a Whirlpool dryer, Model WED955WL2, does it matter which side of the drum faces the front?
You forgot the 2 screws on the inside of the door assembly. But still a good video. Do you have a trouble shooting the sensors, thermostats video?
Great video, but it would have been good to see how to put it together again, how to get the right cables on the right place and so on..
How do you unplug the black terminals?
Thank you for this video is one of the best.
Glad it was helpful!
Is there a way to just remove the back panel? I'm asking because I'd like to do a shot with the film camera looking out through the front glass.
This video is so helpful. Thank you very much!
Can I replace the thermal heater fuse by tremoving the lower door and blower housing?
Usually. It's right in the front. Just know though that when one blows, its usually better to replace all of the thermal parts at once.
Thankyou very helpful
Awesome guide, thank you for the detailed teardown!
Excellent, so good to see something like this on my own model.
Great video!
Thank you very much
Thank you so much! I was able to replace the drum rollers and belt thanks to this video.
I have a Whirlpool compact front load dryer model WED7500VW that I need to change the start capacitor and do not know how to get to it. Front panel screws are too
close to the drum to unscrew and back panel supports the drum. Any ideas?
Thank you so much. I was able to fix my dryer because of your video.
Thanks much!
Thanks!!! worked like a charm!
Thank you thank you thank you!
I need to find out what size the screws are at the bottom of the front panel. Does anyone know?
I'm looking for the same thing. Did you figure out?

Very informative!
Very much appreciated!
First step of dissassembly - pull the plug or flip the breaker off to disconnect the 220V power.
I have searched all over for how to do this with a gas dryer. I don't understand why this is so hard.
What about the top
Great job very helpful video.
Now, I can do it myself and no need for technician.
great video. Thanks
Wow
Thank you
So helpful
The best studio tear down I have seen but there are several mistakes. Too bad they didn’t go through and correct them.
I can work up an error list later maybe.
No mistakes on my teardown other than a couple extra screws holding in the bottom panel. Maybe your model just differs.
Agree, it most likely depends on the model. All steps were right on for me, except two extra screws holding up the front.
Depends on if you have gas or electric and what year or model your dryer is.
Very helpful, thanks!
Awesome!
Dryer
No it wasn’t! No one shows how that tab on the heating coil housing goes back in! Errrrrr!!!!
What a useless video. Just got to the part I was stuck on and she skips right to “got it all back together “
