Thank you so much for this video! Never in my life have I ever thought I could take apart a dryer to repair it. The wife and I were about to spend a few grand on new appliances. You saved us a ton of money! You the man!
Literally just completed the pulley replacement. The most difficult thing about it was putting the belt back on the motor and tension pulleys. Thank you so much for the step by step instructions. Only down side is, my wife is actively looking for things for me to fix.
just wanted to echo many of the comments.. your calm and precise demeanor, patience and detailed descriptions of each and every “task” and overall the specifics that you show were so spot on.. without this video, would not have done it.. with this video, fixed the screeching pulley wheel for less than $15 and only having to do it once thanks to your video!
This is without a doubt , the best instructional video I have ever seen. My dryer was doing the same thing. I followed your video and was able to get it working like new again. Thanks for the help! Awesome Job!
You’re a life safer, my dryer started making that screeching noise and I was already looking at new ones and I figured can’t be that hard to find out the problem and fix it, well with this Guide it wasn’t hard at all! Saved me some money and taught me a thing or two, can’t thank you enough.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It's comments like yours that keep me motivated to create helpful content. I'm thrilled that I could save you some money and teach you something new!
Thank you so much for this video. I have never taken apart a dryer before in my life and I followed this video with each step and got this repair completed with ease. I replaced all the wheels and the idler pulley. I ran into not a single issue with the repair and that is because of your video. THANK YOU!!!
I can't thank you enough for the thorough step-by-step video tutorial on this. You just saved me a ton of money! I truly appreciate the effort you put into this video!
Thanks for this video! I was able to finish the repair from start to finish without much trouble. The only part where I struggled was the idler pulley. I didn't notice the spring had fallen off and I had to take it apart again from the lack of tension 😂. Appreciate this video!
I had never fixed a dryer before. Last week my dryer started making that same squealing sound. I went to day and bought a new pulley. Thanks to your video I was able to do it no problem. Thank you for making a video and doing it step by step.
Excellent video and presentation… You were exact with your instructions, provided insightful tips and very professional throughout the entire video… keep up the great work!!
Thank you! I have the same model and I have been searching for many days on how to open the panels of this model to replace the rollers, belt and Idler pulley I am glad that I found this video.Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the thorough explanation and demonstration. I really appreciated the tips and details that may not be obvious, like “keep the light brown side of the belt out” or “tighten with your fingers, being careful not to strip things”. May be common sense to someone who does this all the time, but for me, it was really helpful. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!🎉
Thank you so much for this step by step repair. I followed your instructions and was able to repair my dryer. Great video and instructions. Now I am a subscriber to your channel
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled that the video was able to assist you in replacing the pulley. Your feedback means a lot to me and encourages me to keep creating helpful content. Thank you for your support!
Super helpful. I changed my idler pully today based on the guidance of this video. I used tape to note and keep screws identifiable and safe.. thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled that the video was helpful for you in changing your idler pully. And I love that you used tape to keep the screws organized - great tip!
Thanks for the video! Easy peasy! I replaced the idler pulley on the shaft vs replacing the entire assembly. (Got a great deal on the 6 rollers, 1 pulley, 1 belt. Whirlpool OEM for $40 shipped) I was shocked to find my idler pulley was COMPLETELY froze up. It would squeal for 10-30 seconds then run quietly, I cleaned the shaft ls with lighter fluid, then used “SUPER LUBE” for the bushings on reassembly. Thank you for such a great tutorial!
Great video on especially how to take unit apart and put back on correctly with no left over screws, took your advice and was patient at times, was able to replace belt, pulley and 5 wheels on my model WED8000DW4, one of my mistakes was ordering a kit that said would fit my model, the kit came with belt that few inches short and a little wider, and vame with 4 wheels instead of 5, went to whirlpool dealer and for my model it was belt specific, so got a belt and extra wheel, after putting all back together ended up with 4 extra screws, rewatched your video and I had forgot to put the 4 screws on the front face of the housing that supports front rollers, other than that your video was excellent. Thank you...
Wow, that's impressive timing! So glad to hear the pulley swap went smoothly and that my video could help make the process easier for you. A 30-mile drive to the parts store and still fixed by 1pm? You're a pro! Thanks for sharing your success!
@@onlineappliancetech Your video was the difference maker. Also, my wife and I did it. Extra hands help. Think it took us around 1.5 hours total. We also moved it into garage to have more room.
Needed to fix my whrilpool dryer wed8500dc4. This was exactly what I needed, very informative, great video shots, no loud obnoxious music. Thank you for the video, brutha!
Thank you so much for posting this. Had to replace my dryer belt on this model, and this video was exactly what I needed to show me how to do it. Perfect! Thank you so much 😊👌
An incredible and helpful video I successfully followed step-by-step to fix the squeal (no hiding from that sound and a cloying reminder that you have a job to do or pay for ;-) THANK YOU! The only area where I ran into challenges was when putting the lid back on. There is a very subtle catch that you have to line up to click the top of the dryer back into place. I followed the "back up and pull forward" instructions in the video but for some reason my "catch" was not locking into place to keep the lid anchored to the main machine. After finally discovering the subtle catch mechanism at the front of the lid/cover, I had to take a flathead screw driver and raise the metal catches to successfully lock-in with the top/lid and elegantly "click it into place." It was close to the final step and I was almost defeated but finally figured it out. Just an FYI for anyone else that hits this step and gets confused like I was. Online Appliance Tech was clear but it took me awhile to figure it out. Thank you again for providing this immensely helpful video. Sending positive energy your way!!!
Your video was very detailed and helpful. I was able to get the parts ordered ahead of time, and the project complete in about an hour or so. Thank you for making it!
@@javanikaphilipose2390 If not spinning it probably your belt and idler pulley. Pulley breaks the belt and then once the belt is broken the safety switch by the motor will open which will not allow the dryer to turn on and just makes a click sound from the main control board. Hope this helps!
Excellent - thank you.. My Cabrio is just slightly different relative to the sheet metal screw placement/numbers, but it's close enough for this video to help greatly. Everything looks the same on the inside. For others attempting this fix, if you're going to replace the rollers (and easy to do while you have it apart), make sure you've got the right replacement kit. Most of them come with only 4 - and you need 6. Given the tight access, I found it easier to get the belt around the drum and the motor gear first - and then swing the idler pulley into position - but maybe that's just me.
Hello there, I have a different model, but I think your video tells me how to get in there and get this done. Thanks a ton! Be safe, healthy, happy and stay awesome!
Great video. What if my dryer makes the noise for a second or two then stops? Is it still the pulley? The noise started after I had heavy wet pillows in the dryer. But the noise only happens occasionally.
Thank you so very thorough it’s the exact problem we have my question is you mention at the beginning of the video that you will list the parts he only showed the poly wheel in the package I was hoping for a thorough part number for that pulley wheel and you said while it’s a parts replace the back wheels so I’d like the number on that as well. Thank you.
Hello! I have this dryer and replaced these parts and it works great. Now it does not seem to be getting as hot as it used to. Do you have a repair video for that? Thanks!
I recommend inspecting the airflow, specifically the ductwork that runs from the back of the unit to the wall. Ensure it isn't bent or kinked, as that can lead to extended drying times. I hope this suggestion is useful :)
***QUESTION?**** My dryer needs this repair however the parts don’t arrive till Tuesday. Can I still use my dryer through the weekend without doing further damage to the internal parts?
Thank you so much for your video! I was able to replace the idle pulley, 4 wheels, and thermal fuse. I replaced these about a week and a half ago and now I hear a high humming noise. I’m thinking something has possibly came loose. Any help?
Do you think it is feasible to tear this dryer apart to fit it into my basement? I have a 27” opening and this dryer measures about 29” wide. Obviously removal of drum assembly is pretty easy, I am just hesitant with trying to take apart the rest of the chassis.
I changed flame sensor and took wires off without documenting order. does light blue go on top or bottom of mounted flame sensor on the burntube? the white wire is thicker so dont want to assume it doesnt matter
Great video, I didn’t see you point/identify the fuse/location of the fuse. Can someone please give me a quick written location and description of it. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the help! Step by step instructions were thorough and easy to follow. Part numbers were correct. Job takes longer than the 21 minute video lol but such a relief to hear a quiet and correctly functioning dryer again!
I'm sorry for any misunderstanding, but I'm finding it challenging to comprehend what you mean by "liner liner". Could you possibly elaborate or provide additional context? This would help me address your query more accurately.
I replaced the wheels (6)the pulley and still had noise took apart again and checked everything. Uninstalled and reinstalled the idle pulley and still noise. Need assistance .
Yes, it could be the wrong size. If the belt is very hard to put on or feels too tight, it might be incorrect. Alternatively, your roller wheels could be locked up. Also, ensure the belt isn’t twisted. These are the key things I’d recommend checking.
Knocking noise could be Roller wheels, or Idler pulley if shafts are worn down allowing the rollors to move around too much. If squeaking that's Id - pulley for sure. But rollers make knocking noises and grinding noises. You are better off getting both of them . I hope this helps you have a good day.
Love the video.. But does these parts work for the whirlpool Cabrio Gas dryer WGD8000DW4... if not can do you have an amazon link to one that will work...again great video..Thank you
Probably the best video tutorial I have ever watched ! I just did all this and its most excellent .

My dryer looks a bit different but same name...would that puley work for mine?
I agree very through tutorial ordered the parts and will attempt repair with this video by my side. Thanks!!
Would this pulley wheel thing work for whirlpool cabrio platinum?
What is the Model #

I recommend inspecting the airflow, specifically the ductwork that runs from the back of the unit to the wall. Ensure it isn't bent or kinked, as that can lead to extended drying times. I hope this suggestion is useful :)

***QUESTION?****
My dryer needs this repair however the parts don’t arrive till Tuesday. Can I still use my dryer through the weekend without doing further damage to the internal parts?
You are the man! Thx for the help
Thank you!
Should I change the heating element from the front as well
If heating wasn't the issue you were facing, then there's no need to consider replacing the heating element. :)
I meant to ask Could I get to the heating element from the backside? I’m trying to to avoid dismantling the whole dryer.
Thank you so much for your video! I was able to replace the idle pulley, 4 wheels, and thermal fuse. I replaced these about a week and a half ago and now I hear a high humming noise. I’m thinking something has possibly came loose. Any help?
@@heatherstewart3657 mine does the same, I just replaced and hear the high humming noise, did you figure it out?
Do you think it is feasible to tear this dryer apart to fit it into my basement? I have a 27” opening and this dryer measures about 29” wide. Obviously removal of drum assembly is pretty easy, I am just hesitant with trying to take apart the rest of the chassis.
Mine sounds squeaky also but I feel it's just a coin or something stuck behind the drum gasket? Any suggestions?
I changed flame sensor and took wires off without documenting order. does light blue go on top or bottom of mounted flame sensor on the burntube? the white wire is thicker so dont want to assume it doesnt matter
thanksyou
Hey, thanks for dropping by! Your comment made my day! 😊
Can you replace the idler pulley from the back without removing the drum?
I'm sorry it has to be from the front like in the video.
Great video, I didn’t see you point/identify the fuse/location of the fuse. Can someone please give me a quick written location and description of it. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
My cabrio looks like it’s an older model. Are the parts the same?
Should be what's your model number?
Thank you for the help! Step by step instructions were thorough and easy to follow. Part numbers were correct. Job takes longer than the 21 minute video lol but such a relief to hear a quiet and correctly functioning dryer again!
Glad it helped!
Where do i order the pully from n whats the part #
Hi what model is yours? Mine looks exactly like yours but want to make sure these parts will fit mine before i order them. Thanks
Where is the thermal fuse located i have dryer all apart thks
The thermal fuse is situated on the blower housing, positioned above the blower wheel within that vicinity.
Did this replacement, very loud and hard to spin the drum when put together, any ideas?
I have no heat either. Do you have a video on heat element?
I don’t see the thermal fuse in the description. Also that’s a nice magnet light😁. Thank you for the video.
Sorry about that, I placed the OEM thermal fuse in the description. I will try to find Magnet light too.
I was thinking that same thing about the magnet light! Very handy!
Great video! Thanks
great video where did you get your light from
Did u throwaway the linen liner ?
I'm sorry for any misunderstanding, but I'm finding it challenging to comprehend what you mean by "liner liner". Could you possibly elaborate or provide additional context? This would help me address your query more accurately.
I replaced the wheels (6)the pulley and still had noise took apart again and checked everything. Uninstalled and reinstalled the idle pulley and still noise. Need assistance .
Thank you, Awesome video!!
Thank you!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
I just did this and now my dryer is making a weird noise. Would I be able to DM you a video of it and see what you think the noise could be??
My dryer drum isn’t moving very easily after installing a new pulley and belt. Suggestions? Maybe my belt is too tight or the wrong size?
Yes, it could be the wrong size. If the belt is very hard to put on or feels too tight, it might be incorrect. Alternatively, your roller wheels could be locked up. Also, ensure the belt isn’t twisted. These are the key things I’d recommend checking.
Besides any funny noises will there be any other indicators I did something wrong? Are there any fire hazards?
Thank you. You are awesome!!!
Happy to help!
If it's making a knocking noise, does that mean the rollers need replacing ?
Knocking noise could be Roller wheels, or Idler pulley if shafts are worn down allowing the rollors to move around too much. If squeaking that's Id - pulley for sure. But rollers make knocking noises and grinding noises. You are better off getting both of them . I hope this helps you have a good day.
Love the video.. But does these parts work for the whirlpool Cabrio Gas dryer WGD8000DW4... if not can do you have an amazon link to one that will work...again great video..Thank you
Yes same parts, Thank you for your nice comments!
Mine was just squeaking but now it is sounding like a mini jack hammer and occasional squeaking. What sound does it make when the bearings go?
I would replace Rollers Wheels and Id Pulley and make sure to clean well. Hope this helps!
AWESOME!!!!!
