Our dryer (this model) started a terrible screeching noise this morning, and I figured it was time to replace. It's Thanksgiving day, and nowhere was open, so I searched and found this video. You just saved me from $500-$800 dollars. I completely disassembled, removed TONS of lint, removed the wheels and pully and cleaned and greased. I would never have attempted without THIS video. It runs like brand new now. THANK YOU!!

Great instructions. Used this to help access the control panel to replace a worn out Timer on a Kenmore 800 dryer and then the bottom front panel when one of the clips that holds the panel down fell into the inside of the dryer.

Thank you for having a video on disassembly on a dryer that closely matches mine(although not an exact match, it did help ). However, trying to put the belt back on is absolutely not as easy as they make it look, because they're doing it without the drum in, and without having to try to get your hands around the motor, doing it blindly no less.

Hello RepairClinic! These instructions were spot-on for disassembling then reassembling my dryer. I followed another person's instructions for troubleshooting, but used your video to make sure I did the disassembly/reassembly correctly. Worked like a charm. Thank you so much!

@karenwebster6274 4 года назад

Repair Clinic to the rescue again. I've babied a 1994 Kenmore washer and dryer for years with your parts and videos. I usually do the repairs myself unless it requires some lifting I can't do then I get hubby to help. I'm sure the newer appliances are more energy efficient but I'm still trusting my old ones for everyday use.

@RecondosJungle 5 лет назад

Fantastic video! Everything disassembled and worked exactly as it described. I fixed our dryer in no time & saved a ton not having to call for a service visit. Thanks!!

@TheMayneLine 8 лет назад

I cannot tell you how helpful this was. I tried to take my dryer apart myself but without the confidence "you can pull here and not break something" or pry there... I was stuck. This saved me so much grief. Thank you. fortunately my problem was solved by just spraying some lubricant on the belt tensioner and the wheels that held the drum in place. Thanks.

Dude! That thermostat fix! Threw it down on the laundry room floor and it reset itself!!! Saved me a trip to get the part and the money for it!

@karendinatale2370 11 лет назад

This video was very helpful. I have a much older Kenmore model, but the design is basically the same. I only needed to replace the light socket and clean out the lint duct, but I didn't know where to start. The light socket part had been discontinued and replaced with a whirlpool socket, so I needed to get under the lid to access the wires. Watching this saved me a lot of frustration, the steps were very easy to follow. Thanks!

@jmedina3332 9 лет назад

I can not begin to tell you how much this video has helped me! Without trying to sound too melodramatic, this video (and a squeaky wheel) might have saved our lives! I have the gas model and every 5 or 6 months, the pulley starts to squeak. The first time it happened, I followed the instructions and was horrified to discover that the was a small tear in the gasket lining on the lint catcher causing the inside of the dryer to get COMPLETELY coated with a thick layer of lint. I was shocked that it had not caught fire. I cleaned everything up and oiled the pulley. I used the dryer a few times and checked to make sure that the gasket properly sealed. No issues since. I don't want to buy a new dryer, so I just take it apart and lubricate the pulley wheel when it starts to squeal. It only takes me about 15 or 20 minutes. Bottle of PB Blaster is $1.97 at Home Depot and a little bit of my time. Heck of a lot cheaper than a new dryer! Thanx again!!!

Awesome video, because of this video, I fixed my dryer all by myself and for only $8.00!!! I needed to replace the idler pulley and was able to do this, and also clean the whole machine also. I could not believe all the stuff that was inside my lint filter area, even though I clean the screen part everytime, stuff still gets in the other parts, could have been a fire hazard! Thank you again

@XXXLL73 4 года назад

Thanks! This was a great start before attempting disassembly and driving myself nuts.

@jeffstake478 4 года назад

Wonderfully helpful! You made it easy to replace the timer. Thank you so much. One warning to consider adding: Watch out for the little clips on the top panel. One of mine fell into the dryer. The same motion that reduces the pressure on the clip allowing one to open the top panel also loosens the clip from the top panel and it can fall into the hole in the main part of the dryer.

@janell3802 3 года назад

Same thing happened to me when I changed my timer. Clip fell in through the hole all the way to the bottom. This video showed me how easy it was to take the bottom front panel off to access the bottom where the clip fell down. This video is so helpful and Repair Clinic parts are reasonable .

@k2largerthanlife209 5 лет назад

Excellent Video. $75 in parts for rollers and belt and less than an hour to tear down and reassemble vs new dryer! The video on replacing a washing machine gear a year ago = combined savings of $1,500!

This video just saved me $700. I was about to give up on our trusty old Kenmore gas dryer - and I decided to surf the net for the problem. I discovered this video on how to disassemble the dryer, and then replace the thermal fuse. It also allowed me to discover all the lint encased internally that caused the fuse to blow. My local appliance parts shop had the fuse in stock - a very common part - designed to shut the gas off before the lint ignites. The total repair took me 90 minutes - not complicated at all. I've also discovered I can find nearly all of the parts to fix my dryer on this site - and keep it running forever. Now my trusty Kenmore is ready for years more service. Maybe I can put that $700 in my new fishing boat kitty :-)

@repairclinic 10 лет назад

I just used this video to replace the broken belt on my dryer. I am a mom of 3 kids and did it during the baby's nap time. I did have to take it apart twice because I forgot to reconnect the door switch plug in the top. The dryer wouldn't turn on and the light wouldn't turn on either until I realized my mistake and fixed it. Thanks!

@14erGuy 5 лет назад

Watching this saved me about $200, I estimate. Putting the belt on isn't quite as quick & simple as they make it, but overall this is very accurate. Took me about 3 hours to change an idler pulley wheel, but I haven't taken this particular dryer apart before. I spent $20 on the idler wheel in Denver, CO. Not bad for a rookie. Thanks for the instructive video! This was a big help.

@brymck 11 лет назад

If you have an older model, a few things may be different - the door switch wires may be separate connectors instead of all in one connector. The screws to remove the control panel may be behind the unit and the end caps may not need to be removed. The lint screen duct may be a separate piece from the upper front panel, so keep this in mind when removing. This video was very helpful to me in repairing one of the fins that had broken off the inside of the drum.

@lifeisjazz 8 месяцев назад

Yep, mine was three separate wires, and most of those other things. It was end caps for me.

Great video! Had the light bulb in the back denigrate and had to fish it out. Required taking everything apart. Couldn't have done it without your video. I put it all back together and a voila! House didn't burn down! It was also a good chance to clean out some of the dust and lint that had accumulated. My only suggestion is that the two screws on top that hold the front were torx screws on my model. Also, you'll need a nut driver or socket for all of the little screws, except the ones on top.

@repairclinic 10 лет назад

@jamesvanderpoel9956 4 года назад

None of the videos I've encountered showed how to take the top off my particular model (Whirlpool GGQ8811LW0). There are two screws at the back of the plastic end panels that have to be removed to be able to swing the control panel up and back, exposing the three hex-head sheet metal screws that must be removed to allow the top to be slid forward for removal. After that, the procedure is the same as with other models to replace the door switch or rollers or drive belt.

My door switch wiring consisted of 4 separate wires rather than one harness but it was located in the same location as the video. I used this video to remove the drum so I could replace the four drum support rollers and the idler pulley assembly. I ended up replacing the belt too since I had everything open.

@DukeOBass 6 лет назад

Awesome video! I can't thank you enough! This was a big help. If you happen to edit this (maybe just a text overlay at this point in the video), mention that the upper blades of clips on the bottom front panel are right up against the door panel above them and it may require a putty knife or thin blade to get under them and push down rather than screwdriver.

Sorry about that! This video will work for that model. The clips have a little lip you'll need to get above. If you're under it, the clips won't come off. So keep your putty knife or screwdriver (try both) against the top panel instead of pushed down against the lower panel of the dryer.

@shambop1 8 лет назад

Most helpful! Saved me time and money!

@shawnperry885 11 лет назад

Great guide! I have the same model. Some helpful tips to save you 50 trips to the garage or shed. You will need: A putty knife, a skinny flat head screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, a 1/4 nut driver, and a T20 Torx bit for the nut driver. You will also want to have a shop vac to suck out all of the built up lint in the lint screen cavity and on the blower fan blades. After removing the front door, there are 3 screws on the lint screen cage that can be removed to access the lint screen cavity.

Very helpful, is there one that shows how to deal with a drier which has a drum that takes up all the space? I can't figure out how to thread the belt around the drum and the drive since it is below and not behind the drum.
