Thank you for helping me fix my dryer!

@patriotsoldier76 12 лет назад

It was thirty minutes till quitting time and also my wife's birthday. I got the dryer up and running and home in time to not dissapoint my wife because of this video. God bless you for your help. Thanks a million.

@davesmith9417 Год назад

First timer here; thank you for the detailed explanation and the money savings. Did it for $17 bucks and working great. You should also let people know based on the age of their dryer to clean and vacuum it out really good while open. Mine was filthy, but this should be self explanatory when any person looks in and sees all that dust and crud:)

@partselect Год назад

Great points, and thanks for watching! Glad it was able to save you some $$$!

I've had this very model for twenty years, and replaced the drive belt four times, yet I always forget how to run the belt round the pulleys. Your video, at the four-minute mark, gave me that crucial refresher. Thanks.

@koreyphan Год назад

Best video to watch for dryer belt replacement. Thank you so much for he clear video. I didn’t know how to wrap the belt around the pulley until i wAtched your video!

@SuperCapsfan101 4 года назад

This was my first time doing this. I watched 3 videos on the subject, and yours was the most helpful! I'm sure you saved me at least $150 service call. I spent $10.00 on the part, and when I cleaned out the lint under the drum, I found almost $4.00 in change! So thank you!

@@chrisdodds6657 50?! i've spent almost a year listening to mine squeal. i'd pay $100 easily but that's just 2024 for ya, everything seems to have gone from $10 to $100 overnight.

@katherinewolfe 7 лет назад

I really appreciated the good view of the pulley and hub. My belt was torn clean through, so it wasn't obvious how everything fit together. Nice to be able to fix my dryer myself - thanks!

Very nice of you to say so! Thanks, Armando!

@madi-mp Год назад

Didn’t have a clue on how to do any of this and was determined to figure it out without having to call someone to help. Thank you!!

@golf4fame 6 лет назад

Thank you so much! Because it is a Labor Day weekend, I contacted several people, ready to pay up to $100, and not one of them replied to me. Knowing I would have to wait at least 2 days with stinky clothes, I decided to look on RU-vid and do it myself. I found yours and that Whirlpool is very close to mine and the only problem I had was getting the front cover back on, a few hard paper-cut like scratches by holding that, but I eventually got it! All thanks to you!

@RottnRobbie 2 года назад

Just wanted to say thank you for having such clear and complete instructions. I did a search on RU-vid, and watched several videos on how to replace a broken belt. Different models, different brand names, but essentially the same job on video after video. Yours was the fifth one I watched, but was the only one to mention which side of the belt goes towards the drum, and had the clearest and best lit view of the idler/tensioner installation.

@blackrifle6736 Год назад

*Steve: Thank you for another superb presentation towards restoring my LGR7646. It's decades older than one shown but the guts are all the same since 1966. Cheers!*

@kathleennolan5750 2 года назад

Thank you for these easy to follow directions - concise and precise that even this 70 year old woman could change the broken belt on my kitchenaid dryer - thanks, I'm back in business again, although, I enjoyed hanging wash for a little while, lol

@johnegee2552 5 месяцев назад

You did a great job with the explanation of the installation of this belt it took 30 minutes for me to take apart the dryer completely and clean it put the new belt on and put it back together thank you so much for your wonderful video

Man.. THANK YOU! This video made it so easy to fix our dryer. Spent $17 at hardware store to buy the belt instead of $150 for a used dryer. 1 million views means you have saved people MILLIONS of dollars with this tutorial. Thanks again!

@dukeman7595 3 года назад

Of course after I tore the back off the dryer and ruined some other parts, I found your video showing how simple it is to change this belt. Knowing how is 90% of the work, you have no idea how dumb I'm feeling at the moment. Thank you for the wisdom!

Thank you Steve. I ordered the parts for both my washer and dryer from your company. Your videos are spot on easy to follow and extremely helpful. Instead of spending 1100.00$ for a combo set..It cost me only 230$ in parts to rebuild both! Thank you so much for your expertise

@wakkowarner4288 2 года назад

Thanks for this vid, I have a 1998 KEYS750 and her belt broke the other day. Ordered genuine belt + idler. When I took everything apart, the cause for belt fail was obvious.. the generic plain (non-rotating) idler! Your vid let me take mine down to where I could replace it all, and she's drying her first post-fix load right now. Thanks for saving me the $ and inconvenience of having to get a repair person out here! I used a broom handle on top of the dryer with twine looped around the front of the drum, to hold everything in place while I threaded the belt and then hung the door frame. She runs so smooth and quiet now! (she came with the house, I didn't know about the duff idler on it)

@silvercutter 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! Explicit. Gentle. Wise. Nicely paced. Clear camera work. 5 stars.

@JohnSmith-by5ed 2 года назад

Exactly the video I needed, I went to take the back off like you would on any old dryer back in the day and it was completely encased and I didn't understand how I was supposed to get to the belt assembly cuz I didn't see any way to remove and access it. After watching this video took about 2 minutes to take apart.

@user-qc6kc6bd7u 2 года назад

Replaced my belt today! This video was easily the most helpful. Especially appreciate the lack of unnecessary filler in your video

@WadeSims-v3j 7 месяцев назад

Thank you! Replaced the belt on my Whirlpool WED7000DW2 (Cabrio) dryer following these instructions. I especially appreciate the details about how to properly route the belt around the idler pulley and how to tension it during replacement. This was actually covered incorrectly in another video. Good advice on not letting the screws fall, but my clips into which those screws went would also pop off when replacing the front - but can be grabbed with a little finagling. This made the process pleasant.

@HeyitsthatgirlAshley 2 года назад

I appreciate the time you took to share this with everyone who needs some better instruction. The video was helpful and straight to the point. The video angles we're good also I was able to see everything the way I would if I was standing next to you. Thank you sir!

@kristophermillerrap8327 Год назад

Searched several videos to find out how to do this. So many videos are like 20 minutes long, where the guy spends half the time introducing himself and looking for tools. This video gets down to the job, is systematic, and is presented professionally. Others should watch this to see how to make a video. Well done!

@marybullinger7321 2 года назад

Many Thanks to you Sir. I just replaced my dryer belt. You make it look so easy. I struggled somewhat but I followed instruction and was determined to get it done, and did it!!. Thanks again!

@marybullinger7321 2 года назад

Now, I've got to replace my motor pulley. That was the problem, because my belt kept slipping off. Shouldn't be a problem though. Thanks again.

@inma0014 10 месяцев назад

Thank you good sir! Was quoted 200 to have someone come out to fix. No issues following along and I got the new belt on pretty easily with your instructions. Total cost to me was about $15 for the new belt and 20 minutes of my time. Thanks!

@milesanthony7577 4 года назад

Thank you! 💯💪🏾 this was definitely a blessing finding your video. Our dryer lives and that connector was not coming apart. I end up pushing pins holding the wires on the dryer frame out. Other than that it was ezie peezie!!!

@KevonLindenberg 5 лет назад

Thank you for the video. I had the tensioner pulley come off of my drum while doing a manual inspection for lost socks and spent a good hour messing around in the back before coming across your video. Next time I'll look for the video first.

@weallbelearningsomestuff101 Месяц назад

Thank you! Labor Day 2024 repair after several months being lazy to address this quick fix. Local fella only wanted $60 plus belt. I found the loose change motivational. Seems we average about $7.00 in there. Thank ya!

@scottnelsonsmith 7 лет назад

Your video covered everything. Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to your instructions to _lift_ the front panel when removing, and I snapped the clips. After replacing those everything went well. My wife helped with putting the front panel back on; made it very easy. I'm impressed w/ the completeness and efficiency of your video; you provide exactly what is needed w/ no redundant commentary or other distractions. My only recommendation to others is simply to pay attention to everything in the video and you shouldn't have any problems at all. Excellent work, thank you.

@marcusurioste4096 4 месяца назад

Great video. Helped me immensely when the pulley assembly popped off and I thought the belt had broken. One pro tip. When I was on the floor and the dryer drum was resting on my shoulder I used one of those squishy yoga blocks to support the front of the drum. Perfect height. Made it an easy one person job.

@DavidManvell 6 лет назад

This video helped immensely. My Whirlpool dryer has a slightly different configuration however I got it to work. The white pulley Down Below on my Whirlpool does not exist. Instead there is a metal piece sort of in the shape of a crescent. It took me a bit to figure it out but basically you create a small Loop with the belt and push it through the metal tensioner below the crescent and wrap the loop around the motor. I also did not undo the connector to the front door I just pushed it off to the side with it still connected.

@catwomanfromthemoon5498 4 года назад

My blond self thought the wheel broke. I took the drum out and went looking for it. Eventually I figured it out though. Go me! LOL!

@joea7876 4 года назад

Thanks for this video, I was ready to go buy a new drier, but instead, got this one fixed for under 10 bucks. Couldn't have done it without your help. The hardest part was that door switch harness...GOTTA be an easier way to get that apart...really frustrating. Other than that...piece of cake! Thank you!

@tompriesmeyer639 Год назад

@llsmith61 3 года назад

You adorable man! Used you about 5 years ago and it happened again today and I dialed you up and started working. Last time it was easy to find the replacement belt. Today I couldn’t locate one. Had to order on line. When ordering it asked if I wanted the 3 piece kit or just the belt. Since this dryer is almost 20 years old I decided to go ahead with the 3 piece kit😁 Wish me luck

@KougyokuGentou 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video, you just saved me a bunch of money on repairing my dryer. My idler roller popped loose, and my dryer disassembled exactly the way you described in your video. From there it was easy to put the idler back in position and realign the belt. The hardest part was getting the drum back on there, but thankfully i had help!

@just5630 Год назад

Thank you so much! This was the best video I found. Easy to understand and very detailed, especially with the hardest part on aligning the belt on the pulleys. You saved me a lot of money on a service call, repairs or even replacing with a new dryer.

Putty knife...butter knife - Tomatoes...tomahtoes. LOL Very clear and simple instructions. My grandson and I were able to replace the belt ourselves. We didn't have it quite so easy disconnecting the plug inside the machine but other than that it was a breeze. Thank you for the instructions can't wait to replace the auger motor on my ice maker with your instructions.

Thanks for posting this helpful video. I've replaced a dryer belt before, but I could not figure out where the locking screws were. I would have never guessed the lint trap. 👍

@mikeevans7049 3 года назад

The dryer had been squeaking for some time. I had ordered the cheapo part from A***** so I had it close. Finally at 8:30 p.m. the wife says "I think it has gone". So I changed it with your help at 9:00 at night. Took about 30 minutes. Not bad. Thanks for the assist.

@iplaysdrums 8 лет назад

i love how clean everything is in this video! we just moved into our new home yesterday, and the washer and dryer came with the house. the dryer had been making some really terrible noises, and i was just thinking i needed to open it up when the noises stopped. and the drum stopped turning. i instantly figured it was the belt, and when i opened it up, the belt had indeed snapped. it looked like it had been wearing for quite a while, as there was black dust EVERYWHERE in addition to the regular dust and lint that typically build up in a unit that's been neglected for who knows how long. my belt should arrive in a couple of days, and it looks like it should be a straightforward repair. thanks for the video!

@jjuneau1976 6 лет назад

This was great. I turned on my dryer this morning and it sounded like a garbage truck.. lol. It was full of rocks, coins and even a half a pencil. I learned everything I needed from your videos. Easy fix. Thanks so so much!!

@danthemanoftheland 4 года назад

I don't know if this dryer is a newer model or what but I did not have a white pulley belt tensioner. Mine was just a piece of plastic the belt would rub against. I spent some time looking for a part that didn't exist. Since my belt was already broken when I opened it there was no way to note the way it was put on in the first place. With a different tensioner mechanism, I sorta had to figure that out on my own. I cut my finger trying to get that switch to the door to separate! I ended up using two pairs of plyers to unplug them. I am glad to have the video, but it was much more difficult than it appears.

@juanluisvegasalazar8767 4 года назад

@catwomanfromthemoon5498 4 года назад

Blond girl adventures in DIY: I didn't have the round white idler. I found a weird half metal one in my dryer, and ended up removing the drum and trying to hunt down a missing piece. Eventually I caught on and figured it out. The clear images and step by step instruction in this video are great, but I would have loved it if you'd included instructions on how to separate the dryer door switch. I couldn't get it apart, so I unscrewed the whole thing 'till the job was done. Front of the dryer was HARD to get back on. All that being said, you still saved me from paying a repair person; plus I found 76 cents. I still don't know where all the missing socks have gone though.

@toddimdieke5667 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the clear instructions & good video. This saved me over $100. I got the belt for 9 bucks & found $7.20 in change in the front panel.😂

@partselect 11 лет назад

Hi Norbel, Thanks for your question! This is the closest video we have to your model, but some of our customers with your model who've experienced a similar problem suggest laying the dryer on its back for easier replacement. After placing the new belt around the drum, you can insert the belt (try folding it) through the idler pulley, and then insert the pulley into the dryer floor. The belt will bring the pulley upright when inserted correctly. Does that help at all?
