You just start taking screws off and remember where they go after. It's not rocket science.

@@hockeyvice That's what I was about to ask next, thanks

Common sense. if you can’t unscrew the back plate to get to the motor then you should leave it alone for a repair man to do

Thanks

If you have a whirlpool duet, you gave 2 of the worst appliances ever made. I speak from experience.

I hear some recommend silicone lube

someone had made a comment about oiling it and maybe that would fix the problem actually I did spray WD-40 on all the rollers and wheel works great no need to be replaced eventually I'll have to replace them but as for now no. I would definitely try to oil them first before replacing you have nothing to lose.

Anyone reading this 6 years later please use a real grease and not wd-40. It may work and sound great at that moment but wd is not meant to lubricate long term. It will dry out any plastics and your belt to the point it fails much quicker. Just a friendly warning. Wd-40 is great for many things and will help loosen stuck pains in our ass but it isn't made to lubricate or grease something like bearings.

@@licentiousdreams - Great call yes WD-40 is not the appropriate solution. Use something like lithium grease spray or repack the bearings

I would definitely try! It could save you from a lot of work.

I would like to know too

If it's a GE or Electrolux dryer....

right? i found this vid pretty useless. on to a more efficient video!

matt wild you remove the clips with that tool he had then the wheel slides off then just add the new one and replace it with the new wheel and replace the clips

Nancy little late here. But you use a circlip removal tool which has different size ends unless it is one made specifically for this job. Find the two ends that fit into the little holes on the clips. Install the end pieces to your tool by inserting them in the tools end slots and screwing them down tight into the tool. Then like a pair of pliers you insert the end pieces into the two holes in the clip and open up the tool which will cause the clip to expand and be able to remove it from its retaining groove. To re-install place new pulley on its shaft, insert the ends into the clip holes and open up the tool handles which will open up the clip and allow it to slide over the shaft end into the retaining groove. Release tool allowing clip to seat in groove. You likely could use a small screwdriver to wedge the clips off and press them back on with a little patience if you don't have a tool.

DJMouthwash $20 or so...kits on EBay

+Eddie Milton Some parts you can't get but usually every part that breaks has a replacement. What part is broken? Many parts have part numbers written on them. Sears has a good website that I often use to find out the parts numbers. www.searspartsdirect.com/

+AdamDIY i have a 2007 maytag Neptune and it squeaks. am i able to fix this too?

This is an appliance parts place in Pontiac Michigan. They have most parts needed. Luckily I live less than 3 miles away. Here's their website or call them. www.eapartsinc.com I have an old 2001 Kenmore dryer, they not only have new parts for them but typically they have them in stock with great prices. Hope this helps.

Lori A was

Same boat bro. I removed the panel it just popped off was able to reach in.

Turns out, ours was an older model I guess. removed the front panel via two screws at the bottom of front. was able to disassemble, clean and grease wheel bushings. all is well. thanks again.

+Bob Wilson thanks. I finally figured it out also. I also cleaned em greased em no more noise. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You can order the kit from ebay! Around $50-60.
