Just used this to fix mine! Took me about an hour, but I've never done anything like this and I'm just a mom at home alone with my 2 kids, so I was impressed with myself anyway 😂
Thank you for this step by step. It was very helpful, and the demonstration of the part being locked up was nice to help me confirm that was the issue I was having.
I couldn't figure out how to get the belt back on, but I had the tech manual and it showed the path and I got it from that image!
Wow thats great good job! At first I was a little apprehensive about doing it myself lol
You're a great teacher. Went from knowing absolutely nothing about dryers to fixing my dryers idler pulley. Keep up the good work!
I just want to THANK YOU!!! My new to me dry made a HORRIBLE noise as soon as it was plugged in. Found your video. Took it apart. Thank goodness i did because the ppl never cleaned it and it looked like the lint already caught fire. Cleaned it up. Put it back together. No noise 🎉 (it was some piece of metal that i guess got some how that was caught between the drum and the case) only took me 3 hrs by myself w 3 kids and 3 cats running around. But YOUR video helped me get apart and put it back together😊🎉🎉🎉🎉
Watched this video and it definitely helped me understand how to fix my dryer. However, did not need to take the control panel apart as this video suggested. Was able to just remove the four screws in the back of dryer, and then was able to loosen top and get it out of the way. Did use a lot of the information though when fixing my dryer. Thanks!!
My idler pulley was bad and this helped 100%. Awsome job. Super simple and easy to follow. My dryer is up and running again! Thank you very much kind sir.
THANKS!!! Your excellent video instructions helped me fix my squealing dryer. It took a little longer than some of your other commenters mentioned, but after it was done, I decided it was well worth the time. Oh, after getting it all put together, I found that I had a couple of "extra" screws...having to partially disassemble again to discover where those "extra" screws were supposed to go probably accounted for some of the added time.
3 minutes in to the video and you already solved my struggle with my Maytag MEDB765FW! Thanks good Sir!
Awesome step by step instructions replaced the idler pulley in 35 minutes and have never taken a dryer apart. Excellent video and great instructions. Also the way you started the video showing what the noise sounded like gave me confidence that I was replacing the correct part. Thanks for the video!!

Thank You! I have this exact machine and I followed your instructions and had the bad pulley replaced in about an hour. For those asking below, you cannot access the pulley from the back, it must be done the way shown in this video. Stupid design that there is no access panel in the back but it is what it is.
Did you have issues with slack after installing as instructed?
Just need to replace pulley, belt is the same size but I have slack.
@@LeonardVidaureAKASkinner I had no problems with slack. Are you sure you are routing the belt correctly? It took me a few tries to get it routed correctly. Look at other videos on UA-cam. They show how to route the belt better than this video.
This video was a lifesaver. I had never worked on a dryer before, but this made it super easy. Plus, this was the only video I found for my dryer model. Thank you!
Did you remove the 3 golden screws during disassembly? And was there slack in the belt before placing the drum on the front rollers?
Excellent video. Covers it all. I successfully changed all wheels, idler, and belt after watching this video.
Noise wasn't my issue, but the housing on this model is different from many others and this was by far the best video I've seen for how to open it. Thanks for posting!
This video helped us get inside the dryer to fix it. As is turned out for us, the rollers and pulley needed hair removed from between the rod and wheel. The clip release was different on our dryer. The clips located below the door had to be pushed down to release. This video saved us big time! Thanks!!!

We had the same problem with our dryer. Thanks to your video I was able to fix it! Thanks so much!
Thanks for the video, just replaced the idle pulley much easier than I thought it would be thanks to your video, had the dryer since 2011 first issue with it
I must say that I am surprised there aren't more dryer fires with the amount of lint that gathers inside, I was surprised how much was on the inside.
Great video! Thanks. I wasn't Doing the idler pulley but I was looking for instructions on how to properly disassemble my Cabrio!
Great job on the video man, very detailed, I love the actual direction of the nut-driver on the bottom right corner(nice touch) I also love the specific call outs on the sharp edges, heavy lifting, and removal of power before you do any work. Keep up the good work I liked and subscribed.
Great video for replacing idler pulley on a medx600xw0 Maytag Bravos. All tips were excellent.

Thank you for this video. It saved me a lot of money.
Glad it helped!
I really want to thank you
For helping us to get this done sir
It is 2:48 am
I cut my self with the sharp edges
But it is all good
Almost 3 hrs
But is working like new
These detailed instructions also work (with very minor differences) for a Whirlpool Cabrio model WED5800BW0.
Great video! How do you remove the little spring clips that hood the rollers on?
So many videos that show cabins but this the only one that has my kind of model

I have never trusted myself to take apart an appliance and repair it on my own. Your step by step instructions worked like a charm and, instead of having to pay hundreds to repair or replace the dryer, it cost me $36 and some time.
My only suggestion would be to have some closeup shots of tricker things like unplugging console pieces and how to loop the belt. Thankfully there was a repairman' manual hidden inside the console and I was able to figure it out from there.

i thought it was odd that the back of the unit was not removeable. i pulled the lower access panel off and filled the bad pulley with penatrating oil. no more squeal for now. thanks
Good video but your hand was in the way. I needed to see how the spring was attached. Which side of the spring went on pulley???
When I put the belt under the pulley and under the motor shaft it is not tight. The belt is the same size and I just needed to replace the pulley.
Just wanted to let you know that we successfully replaced the idler bering off these directions. Thanks!

@@Appliancevideo I'm having a hard thumping sound coming from my dryer. How would I be able to find out there's something in there? Where would that be located at? When it's running it's just a hard thumping sound everything else works, but I haven't used it because idk if there's something died in there. Please help thank you
I removed the moisture sensor clips individually and now I don’t know where the black wired clip goes and where the yellow and red one goes.
Why does my belt so LOOSE when putting the drum back in with the belt?!?!?
You can pull the back panel off plug it in and watch the tensioner pulley to check it as well. Takes 5 min
Why would my new belt of a one month old seem like the drum is dragging
Why we cannot do the replacement from the back of the dryer?

Dang I can't get the clips for the bottom of the of front panel to come off
same here. I used large flat head driver that has strong force to press the clip down.
My dryer is making a hard thumping sound, I think there's a dead rat or snake maybe inside of it.. How would I be able to get it out of there??

I had the same problem, but it is the way the belt is wrapped around the crank shaft and the pulley. The belt goes counter clockwise around the motor post making a c shape, then lift the pulley lever to the left and loop the top part of the belt coming off the motor under and over the pulley making a backwards c. Essentially making a backwards s between the shaft and pulley. I hope this helps someone, because I spent so long google how to wrap the belt. I would post a picture, but I can’t figure out how
i followed all directions but my belt is not tight. all other parts fit

Might want to tell people to unplug the dryer first, just saying
Aaa uuummm
Ryan, thank you for your video! As a fellow Buckeye.... I wanted to give you an A+ for your video, but I have to give you a FAIL! You failed to heavily emphasize to viewers to UNPLUG their dryer before doing open heart surgery. You slightly mentioned it once, with very little emphasis. People's lives are at stake here... EMPHASIZE!!!
Other than that, I'd give you a B- overall. A lot of the video angles could have been shown a LOT better. Thank you!
Every time he says "um" you have to drink....... 🍻🍻💀⚰️🪦 R.I.P.
