I had been putting off trying to fix my dryer for 2 months - lucky for me, we had the same issue! I can't believe I waited for so long for such an easy fix. It was far simpler than I thought it would be thanks to your video :) happy fixing everyone
I just was able to fix my dryer thanks to you! For anyone reading it's nearly the same disassembly for the Whirlpool YWED75HEFW0. Fantastic video, really appreciate you taking the time to make it.
Great video, thorough. FYI I was able to replace my pulley wheel by removing the lower front cover and replacing the wheel somewhat by feel. I put a mirror in the area to see what was the front of the pulley wheel that I could not see. It was exactly like this video, but I was doing everything from the what looks like the backside. Getting the belt back around the motor and spring loaded pulley took 3 tries, but I completed the whole project in 15 mins. Piece of cake.
Good job. I just did this job..... Ill be honest with you guys, do it from the front. Less to fool with. You can get the complete kit with all pulleys, belt, triangles and tensioner pulley for 30 bucks. Replace it all and be done one time. Easy job, hardest part is screwing with the triangles for the pulleys. 30 min job.
Is there a video to show how to do from the front? I have an electric Duet Sport model. Also, where is a good place to buy the kit? Any suggestions, help, is appreciated. I am inexperienced , but want to give it a go to save some money.
Great video. I really appreciate how thorough you were. You skipped nothing. Thank you fir sharing. I am not very handy, but this video gives me some confidence I can tackle this.
Thank you! My model is older and looked different in the back so I went through the front via another video for that part. But your video was crucial because it gave me the view of the belt and idler I needed to be able to take the belt off, replace the idler and put the belt back on. The view is limited from the front. 😅
Appreciate the video. Model we have was similar enough that we were able to repair this ourselves using this video. You just saved us a ton of headache. Appreciate it.
Take a look at www.partselect.com. You'll have to type in your model number. I like this site the best so far because it has assembly schematics that allow you to see where the part goes and make sure you're buying the correct one.
You removed the belt and spun the drum, please explain how you were supposed to indicate the motor bearings or what the purpose was without the belt? Just curious
When I spun it by hand the first time, the only thing I was checking was the drum wheels/bearings. If it still squeaked when the belt was disconnected, we’d know it was the drum and not the tensioner pulley or the motor bearings. But, you’re right. I didn’t eliminate the possibility of the issue being the motor bearings. I basically moved forward on faith that it was the tensioner pulley and not the motor bearings.
Great Video: What was the parts number on your video. I have the same dryer and I am having a hard time finding the parts on your video. I have to replace the belt too, could you help me with that?

It's silly, but I can't find the order confirmation email. I've searched for whirlpool, pulley, wheel. Nothing comes up. If I remember correctly, when I bought the part, I did a google search on the whirlpool model number. I found somebody that had a schematic with part numbers.
I have a problem with the dryer that looks like the one on the video that you show. The lights come on, dial in the instruments are set but when I hold down to press start. It does not start to turn on. The only difference is that the sensing light comes on. Any help
You should ck the dryer board it's on the upper either left or right side and it's prob fried, notorious for this problem and if u ck on internet it will tell you how to fix it
Replaced the idler pulley and now it shuts off after couple minutes of running. Gets hot and spins but shuts off before cycle is complete... Any idea what to check?
1. Are you using an automatic cycle that detects moisture in order to determine whether or not to keep running? If so, try a normal cycle or timed cycle to see if it will keep running. If that works, then you may have a bad moisture sensor. 2. Maybe your door switch is bad. It might be detecting an open door and shutting things off. 3. It might be bad temperature sensor telling the computer it's overheating or not heating at all. 4. It might actually be overheating. That could be from clogged vents/screens. It could be from excess drag on the pulley/belt. Or bad motor bearings. Of all the things I mention above, I've only changed the idler pulley and cleaned lint out of everything. I would imagine the checking/changing a bad sensor or switch is relatively straight forward, so hopefully somebody has already made a helpful youtube video that you can find. Let me know what you figure out. Sorry I'm not able to help more.
@@aviator978 Changed thermal fuse and thermistor. Cleaned the vent out with a big long brush that goes on a drill. Light goes out when door is closed so I'm assuming its not door switch. Im stumped on this one and can't find any videos with my issue. No codes coming up either, even took the vent off and blew it straight out back door so there's no resistance and still shutoff. Where's the moisture sensor and is there a way to test it?
@@aviator978 I have it set on an normal automatic cycle usually but still shuts off on a timed dry. Started to squeal as it shuts off for a second. Bearings or the wheels on the drum perhaps?
Agreed. It's a silly thing to have forgotten. It's like seeing a ball player hit a homerun and turning the TV off before he gets to home plate. Sorry about that. But I decided to leave it forgotten rather than go through the hassle of editing and re-uploading, especially when it doesn't help you fix your dryer.
You probably have a different model than what this video covers. if yours is whirlpool, you can probably search on the model number and find a useful video. Good luck!

@@lynnhahn1343 Yes theres a few.
appliancepartspros has a good one for front service. Just search whirlpool duet dryer noise. Should pop up.

This video was awesome! Clear, concise and best of all, saved me over $200! Thanks for making and sharing this! 👍👍

I went from the front as well. Not that tough, but a mirror helps to see behind the pulley at times. Otherwise is all by feel but very doable.
Awesome video great help. What was the part number for the pulley?
_18 years of great use with mine until this exact problem. Thank GOD for you._
Appreciate the video. Model we have was similar enough that we were able to repair this ourselves using this video. You just saved us a ton of headache. Appreciate it.
Thank you for this video! My dryer is back to working as normal.
thanks so much followed your steps exactly and it was very easy and straightforward.
This is a great video! Could you please supply the part number of the pulley wheel that you replaced?

Appreciate this video. I was able to go straight to my problem. Thank you!
Thank you my dryer is fixed!!
Great video, thanks!
Very helpful - thanks.
Huge thanks!!! Fixed my squeaky dryer. Any reason after this fix tho the heat would stop??? That’s my current problem
Not sure. I haven’t had that problem yet. Sorry my friend.
Is yours also a gas dryer? I don't mean to insult you, but if you disconnected the gas to do this project, did you turn it back on?
Excellent demonstration, thank you so much
How do you know if it is bad drum roller shaft, is the sound similar? I have an electric Whirlpool Duet Sport model.

Best video ever
Would have been nice to hear the dryer after you plugged in in at the end

no grease on the shaft?
Correct. clean the shaft off and put the new pulley on. No grease.
I need to replace the wiring harness
Mine dryer doesnot have pulley, it has 2 belt
