This video is OUTSTANDING! I live in SoCal and repairmen want $325.00 to do this repair. Video took less than ten minutes to watch, round trip to Lowes for the $7.98 belt took 25 minutes and repair took about 15 minutes. Under an hour total to Do It Yourself. Thank you so much!!!
You were supposed to buy your belt from “appliancepartspros”!
Thank you! The local appliance repair place wanted $180/person to come out and take a look at our dryer. I watched your video and $25 dollars and an hour later, dryer is working!!
Same $ here. I'm going to try and fix it myself.
I know this video is old, but it just saved me a lot of money from calling an appliance tech. Just a $40 Amazon order with the belt and rollers, this UA-cam video and just over an hour I was able to fix the dryer.
Thank you so much for this tutorial
Thanks so much for making this video. I never thought I could do this job myself until I watched it. Now my dryer is up and running after almost two weeks of having to dry clothes by the wood stove! Also, I found it easiest for me to remove the front and back panels. Easier way for a novice to be able to get the belt properly on the pully. Thanks again! Very great full!!
Captainsquishmonster The First Glad you were able to get the dryer up and running!
@@appliancepartspros I followed your instructions put the belt on everything was easy put it back together turned it on was running great for about a minute and when it stopped the digital said E1, what does that mean? And can I fix it, is it possible to put the ribbon wires flipped over and put in? Please help. I know I did everything just like you did in the proof is it runs there’s no noise it’s quiet, it’s got heat coming to it but it quits after a minute.
How to unplug the Motherboard from the front console was my problem, until I watched this video. Thanks Matt! You’re awesome!
One of the best how to videos I’ve ever seen. Nicely done thank you, Appliance Pros.
My dryer is a Kenmore He5, but very similar to this unit. Thank you much. I had to take all this off, and the drum out, because I replaced all 4 rollers, the belt, the idler pulley, and vacuumed all the lint out. Squeaky clean and ready to go now!
Excellent video that goes far beyond just a belt replacement. I did a thorough cleaning of my dryer and replaced the thermal fuse. This is by far the best video for disassembly and reassembly of the unit regardless if you're doing a belt change or other service. Thank you very much. I know that doesn't get you very much, but your work is appreciated.
Thank you! We're glad that you found our video helpful.
This took me just over an hour but it was well worth it. Saved myself over $200!!! Tutorial is clear and easy to follow
This is an extremely useful video. Thank you so much, Appliance Pros! My only comment would be that removing the bottom access panel was much easier, once the dryer (or at least the front of it), was raised on some blocks of wood. It wasn't until I tried unscrewing the panel that I realised that in the video, the dryer is not directly on the floor, but is raised up a couple of inches. This makes it much easier.
Followed these step by step instructions and replaced my drum belt. Very informative video, nothing missing from it.
Thanks guys! Super helpful.. I've never taken a dryer apart before and this video helped me to successfully replace the belt and a pulley in my dryer today!
Awesome, glad you got the belt and pulley installed!
Didn't match my older circa 2007 duet exactly, but close enough to get it going and keeping cash in my pocket. Main difference for those who might have one like ours is in removal of the upper console. My model has a ring trim around the door leading up and wrapping the top. Take that trim piece off by pulling up and toward you on the top part of the dryer, pretty similar to he showed in this video. Remove the ring gently using a pry bar at each fastener. This frees the control console to slide up and out. AWESOME VIDEO - THANKS MUCH!
Thank you guys so much! No telling how much money I've saved making repairs myself. These videos are great!
+Tim Countryman Glad the video helped you get the appliance fixed and you saved some money!
Thank you for this video. I'm a fearless FIYer, and this was DEFINITELY NOT AN EASY JOB. I would give it 4-1/2 wrenches out of 5 in difficulty and time consumption. In the middle of almost completely taking apart your dryer, you'll remember that it's all for simply replacing the belt, and you'll get mad. My recommendation from hard experience is to unscrew the back panel and swivel it to the right side, leaving all wiring attached. This will give you much welcomed and improved access to the belt pulley and drive. There's a lot of spring tension against the pulley, and you have to torque on it pretty hard in order to work the belt over the drive. I couldn't do it from the front, as pictured. Guess you have to be a pro! Were I a pro, I easily would have charged $500-$1,000 for this job.
Thank you so much! Saved me $200+ . Dryer is finally back working!
Thanks for the video! The belt broke. So I ordered the kit including belt and tension wheel. Wife was on the computer looking for a new dryer…..OVER $600!!!!! I was like, AH HECK NO!! Thanks for the savings!
I would like to add a few notes. When you remove the front panel you can lift the drum out pretty easily giving you complete access to the rollers. My tension roller was very hard to turn (probably responsible for the broken belt. I lubed it with T-9 bicycle oil and worked it 'til it turned easy. I also removed the back panel (about 12 screws) to get better access in getting the belt around the tension roller. I used 2 egg cartons with notes to keep track of all the screws. I also vacuumed out a cubic foot of lint along the way. Now my dryer seems like it's super-charged. The video helped me through every step. Thank you!
rob5i Glad the video helped you out and thanks for the tips!
Thankyou for this video. I replaced my tension pulley and bracket with this and one other of your videos. Very well done video. Well explained and well edited . Thanks again I save a bunch of money fixing it myself!
Glad the video helped you get the dryer fixed!
Great video! I replaced the broken belt, which I would never have tried without a video like this. Thank you!
+Keith Hemstreet Awesome, glad the video helped you get the belt changed!
Great step by step video. Very helpful ! I completely removed the drum and was able to easily replace drum wheels and the idler roller as well
Thanks for the tutorial. My Duet washer is a little different, especially when removing the front panel, but I was able to get the job done. This was my first dryer belt replacement...hopefully my last.
This was tremendously helpful. You saved me about 2 hours and 84 curse words.
thanks for posting this video. I was able to change the belt on my dryer. saved me a service call.
Glad the video helped you get the dryer fixed!
The dryer is working again like a charm.. Thx so much for your help!!
Cambo Rising Glad you were able to get the belt installed!
Awesome video, ordered the belt followed the steps and back on biz. Thank you Matt!!!
All I can say is great video and thanks a million. Exactly what I need to see.
Very helpful/informative video, did get me through the procedure. Not the exact model which took some mods. I thank you for your support in making this instructional video!
Kiaz Mc Yes there are a few variations through the years, glad the video helped you out!
Thank You very much! Old dryer is rolling again!
Mine was a bit more complicated, must have been a different model Duet. The video was still very helpful. Replaced Rollers, belt, tensioner, and runs like new! Few extra screws...
I did this following all your instructions and it worked like a charm until today. When we started the dryer it started and instantly you hear a snap which I think is the sound of the tension pully releasing. I put it back on and tried to start it again and the same thing happened. I noticed the wheel the belt attaches to that is connected to the engine (not the tension pully) is just a cylander with ridges but does not have a flat end like yours in the video and other videos I’ve seen. Could this be the problem? If so what is this piece called so I can order one from you! Thanks for your videos. No one believes that I replaced my dryer belt 💪🏽
Thanks for the video .. It helped me a great deal! Btw, going through the front also allowed me to vacuum all the lint built up over the years! No more high pitch noise .. Thanks!
Phat Le Glad the video helped you get the dryer up and running!
Great video ....I replaced my belt like a pro thanks to u guys !

Shane Williams Glad the video helped you get the belt changed!
Thanks for this! Super informative and I saved a lot of money. Thanks again guys
Great instructional video,
👍🏻
That was very very helpful, barney style step by step instruction. Thank you.
Wag Gee Glad the video helped you get the dryer up and running!
Great video but the actual threading around the pulleys could be freeze framed or something. The shots of threading them go by really quick and it's the lost important part
very helpful, worked great
I have to ask: Why not just access the drum and the pulleys from the rear of the unit and avoid the front of the unit disassembly and reassembly?
Because on certain models the back of the dryer does not have a removable panel.
I tried that, and I decided it was too complicated. The heat manifold that blows hot air into the drum is in the way, and there's an inner frame that it's attached to, and you would have to take THAT off, as well as the back panel. I recommend the way the repair guy does it as being the easiest, although it is NOT easy. I also recommend unscrewing and swiveling the back panel to the right (leaving the electronics and wiring as is), because that will give you better access to the pulley and belt drive, and you will need it.
Will this procedure work for a Maytag Epic dryer???
i wouldn't call this an "easy repair" though honestly. And also a tip, it's helpful to have someone hold the drum and lay and align the belt properly over it while u maneuver it into the pulley underneath.
Thank you for your good tutorials. you are good teacher.
Juan Arias Thank you, hope the video helped you get the dryer up and running.
So I checked my Kenmore front load dryer . I cleaned it and place everything back but it won't spin.
Dude dude dude, I had to change a belt for a nieghbor lady and followed this video's instructions...BOOM got the job done no sweat and now I got a "girl next door" if you know what I mean 😉👍 thanks brotha, killed two birds
Gracias me sirvio bastante el tutorial ya arregle mi secadora
Hello, I followed your instructions, to the T. Everything went back together well I plugged everything back in the way it was, turned it on the barrel turns real good it’s nice and quiet, then it runs for about a minute and stops and there’s an E1 on the digital, what do I need to do?
What is the model number of your appliance?
@@appliancepartspros GEW9250PL1 then AP5983729 Whirlpool duet Front end loader. I now know it’s got something to do with the thermistor, so I ordered one. Hopefully that’ll take care of it.
Fantastic!!
this was super helpful, thanks for putting this together.
Our Duet is squealing is that indicative of a worn belt . It sound but makes horrible squealing. Thank you
You're awesome 😎. Thank you
You are welcome!
I found it is about 100 times easier to go thru the back panel. Then you don't have to attach to belt to the pulley blind. Take off the back panel and there are 2 screws you need to loosen to be able to get the belt around the drum. No need to disconnect all the electronics and lint duct.
rustybones99 Thanks for the tip, hope the video helped you out!
AppliancePartsPros Can you corroborate rustybones99 technique? You have a very clear video but it it's easier to go through the back I'd rather do that.
rob5i I understand what he did but it is not the normal way to change the belt.
@@rob5i It might work but you'd have a hard time putting it over the drum without removing at least the top
I just replaced the belt on my Kenmore 11082832100 and after reading the comments here decided to also go through the back panel. I removed the top and back panels, then a screw to one side that holds the rear bulkhead in place to loosen things up. This bulkhead has the rollers that hold up the drum in the rear. I was then able with some effort to squeeze the belt around the drum successfully.
Quick question. Is there a way to find out if you need a kit or just the belt without pulling everything a part? My Duet Dryer doesn't spin so I'm not sure if I need a belt or if I need the complete Kit.

Thanks for this video, it was very helpful!
Glad the video helped you get the belt changed!
Should be added, might as well remove the drum and vacuum the whole inside of any lint
Please show me a video on converting a Whirlpool Duet dryer, model number WGD87HEDW1, from natural gas to propane. I want to see the tool you use for rotating the gas valve from NG to LPG.
