34% of the time Whirlpool Drive Belt

A belt was broken on the dryer.

At first I thought it might be the motor, so I was hesitant to call a repair man, as the gas dryer was over 10 years old. I priced new dryers all of which was going to cost over $800.00, with delivery and installation. My 20 year old son, found the exact You tube video from your site, which described how to take apart the appliance and change the belt step by step. I ordered the belt needed for the fix from ApplianceParts Pros.com. Came in the mail 2 days later, my 20 year old son took the dryer apart and changed the belt as instructed.. Works perfectly... Costed me $20.00 instead of $800.00. What a fantastic website! It even gave us the exact tool needed to take the dryer apart. I as very impressed!!!!!!!!

Broken drive belt on kenmore electrical dryer

Replacement part from AppliancePartsPros.com. Followed great video by Bill Newberry video on Youtube

Broken belt

Discovered the problem by watching a repair video, ordered a new belt, installed the belt using the video as my guide and we are drying clothes that same hour. Thanks.

Gas dryer would not start

After searching the internet - did some troubleshooting - making sure the electrical system was functional - In the process of checking the door switch - discovered the drive belt was shredded. My agent at ApplicancePartsPro.com - discussed with me the issues - found the correct belt and part was ordered. Actual repair took about 15 minutes - had to disassemble the drum from the unit - but then took additional time to vacuum out all the accumulated lint, clean the squirrel cage fan and check the rollers. Once everything was clean - replacing the belt was straight forward - once I figured out how the belt went around the motor and broken belt switch and idler pulley.

Broken drum belt

Thermal fuse.

Thanks to your video tested the fuse and ordered replaced myself and saved an $80 house call plus more labor to install very pleased with the results Thanks, Cindy

Dryer wouldn't start

After a couple hours of internet searches, I deducted that it had to be one of four parts. However with the parts i needed, if I replaced one , wisdom was to replace all four of them. So I ordered my parts form the dealer except for the Thermal fuse because they were out of stock. I stumbled across AppliancePartsPros.com accidentally. I will say that one the part was very affordable. Secondly, It arrived before the manufacturer's parts I ordered the day before. The repair was very easy and literally took no more than 15 minutes. I would recommend AppliancePartsPros.com to anyone that wants to save themselves the high cost of having a repair person come out. The parts are quality, the shipping is fast, and the website is easy to use.

Clothes dryer was running with no heat

Looked up the most common causes online. Used a multimeter tool to check the circuits and found the thermal fuse was blown. Ordered the part from Appliance parts Pros. It was cheaper and arrived faster than the company who makes the dryer. 5 minute job, will order another fuse to have on hand.

  • Faulty heating element or drying cycle thermostat

4% of the time Dryer Repair Kit (27 Inch Wide Dryers, Thin Twins)

Dryer making a squeaking noise

Appliances Parts Pros checked for my problem and sold me on the parts to replace, ordered parts, installed, dryer works like a charm. Thank you Appliance Parts Pros Another satisfied customer Pete B.

Faulty idler pulley.

Used this kit to replace the pulley and the other parts since I had it apart. Great video instructions made it easy!

Dryer very noisy, a bushing came loose from one of the rear support rollers

I bought a rebuild kit to replace all 4 support rollers, the idler pulley and the belt. All parts were direct replacements for the originals except the belt. The belt was smaller than the original. I tried for quite a while to get it on but had to put the original back on. It was still in good shape anyway. Dryer runs quiet and smooth. By doing it myself I probably saved myself 150.00 dollars easily.

Dryer was making a grating noise

Ordered the parts from appliance parts pros and they were delivered promptly. I am a total novice but was able to disassemble dryer and determine and correct source of problem!

Dryer squealed loudly after a short time running.

Ultimately found the tensioner wheel was not turning freely. Originally assumed it was a worn belt but decided to order the belt and wheel kit. Searched YouTube for how to videos to get an idea on how difficult the repair would be. Found a video that was very similar to my unit. It took about 90 minutes to disassemble, replace parts and re assemble. Because the kit comes with new retainer clips, it is faster and easier to just cut the old clips off with some side cutters. Also have the vacuum ready as the unit will be full of lint that should be removed while you have the unit opened up.

Dryer rollers squeaking

I purchased a dryer repair kit that had the rollers, roller keepers and drum belt. I followed some YouTube instruction videos on how to make the repair and everything worked just fine. No more squeak. The best part was my one day delivery service of my parts kit. No issues and I received my parts just fine.

2% of the time Idler Pulley Assembly

Squeaking rattling sound

After watching multiple you tube videos I came upon the Appliance Pro videos which enabled me to correctly diagnose my dryer problem of needing to replace the idler pulley assembly. Your excellent video made it easy! Delivery time was only 1.5 days. Excellent customer service by Appliance Pro from start to finish of my dryer repair.

I needed a new idler pulley assembly old one wore out

I ordered new pulley assembly on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend and thought I'd have to wait until at least Tuesday but I got it the next day (Saturday) even though I only paid for standard shipping. It took 2 minutes to change and rerun the belt and I was up and running.

Squealing bearing on dryer belt pulley

Watched the video, and order the whole assembly, since I was worried that there might be more of a problem. My dryer was very similar to the video but it showed me enough to get it done. Honestly it took longer to pull my dryer out than the repair took. Easy to follow instructions, the price was so reasonable, and shipping was very fast. Is it wrong for me to want something else to break down? lol. My wife thinks I'm awesome for the fix, which makes me the hero in the house! Thanks Appliance parts pros.

Bad dryer belt tension pulley.

Followed a video on You tube. The critical part of the repair was having the right part. This part was correct because this site's model number search number feature is great. Happy because we didn't have to buy a new dryer.

Loud squeal and burning smell after about 5 minutes of the dryer being on

Was going to just replace the idler pulley but after watching the install video I decided to replace the whole assembly. I was concerned that the shaft could be damaged as well. The repair was easy and went smooth. It has been 3 days and the dryer seems to be working just fine.

Whirlpool duet electric dryer squeaking rattling and burn marks on clothes

I'm not a mechanic and have never repaired a dryer in my life. I replaced drum belt, drum felt seal and drum support roller and triangle rings. I'm not really sure how my dryer was even functioning with daily use given what had broken down inside. I Referred to AppliancePartsPros.com videos and website to determine how to take apart and reassemble my dryer. Step by step instructions allowed me to do this project myself. The schematics provided on the website for my dryer model with numbered parts, made it easy to identify what was needed from the corresponding numbered part list. Also, to be sure the part worked for my specific dryer model, the website provides a cross check to reference their data so I could be sure I was ordering just the right part.

The Drum Support Wheel Retainer is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part secures the drum support wheels in place, ensuring that the dryer drum rotates smoothly and quietly during operation. The retainer is designed to fit precisely, preventing the support wheels from loosening or wobbling, which can lead to inefficient drying and increased wear on other components. 

Over time, retainers can wear out or become damaged, potentially leading to a loose drum support wheel. This can cause the dryer to operate noisily, vibrate excessively, or even damage the drum itself if not addressed promptly.

Symptoms of a bad Drum Support Wheel Retainer include:

  • Unusual noises, such as squeaking or thumping, coming from the dryer
  • Excessive vibration during operation
  • The dryer drum may feel unstable or wobble when turned by hand

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Thermistor

E 1 error code

Ordered thermister after watching YouTube video. Part arrived in just 2 days. Repair went just as depicted on video. Easy fix. Hoping it corrects the problem.

No heat

Had a power failure when dryer was being used. Dryer was still running but not heating. Used a multimeter to discover that there was no continuity in this part. Ordered the part and received it within 48hrs. Took less than 2 min to replace the part. Praise the Lord, it now works like a charm!

My Cabrio dryer was not getting hot to dry clothes

Per Assistance from AppliancePartsPros I was able to get the Thermister part now my Dryer works great!

No heat with clothes dryer

I watched a couple of YouTube videos on what to do when your dryer won't heat, I then went online to AppliancePartsPros.com, Ordered the parts, installed them, it worked and now I am a hero in my Wife's eyes. Feels great. The service and support I received from AppliancePartsPros.com was absolutely outstanding! Best online experience ever. I can't wait for another appliance to fail and I get to be a hero again (not really). Thanks.

Cycle finished before drying or dryer got too hot!

Replaced the thermistor. Actual time taken was more related to getting bolts back in than anything else. Actual repair was easy with right tools and the how-to videos are outstanding. I am not the handiest person but, with the help of Appliancepartspros.com, I have now fixed both my washer and dryer myself at a much lower cost than calling back the authorized repair guy (who couldn’t fix it for me last time!). I paid less for parts than the cost of a service call. Love this site.
