I am a 13 year old kid, and I just fixed it for my grandma

i searched 'squeaky dryer repair' and this was the first video that popped up. 30 mins later, my dryer no longer squeaks. thank you.

I took everything mechanical apart and found nothing wrong with my dryer. None of the pulleys were bad and the belt was still in good shape. I did find a couple of penny's and a dime in the bottom of the dryer. After putting it back together there was no more squeaking and the dryer is operating fine. This makes me think the problem was that a coin had gotten stuck between the tub and either the back of the dryer or the front panel that holds the door. I'm not the kind of person that purchases things over the internet I don't need so I took the dryer apart before I wasted my money. Good Luck with your Dryer, Don't throw it out because it squeaks. Thank You Joe for sharing your knowledge with us! God Bless

Well produced video. Slow enough, no annoying music, good video so we can see what you are doing and good voice over explanation with the video.

Sir THANK YOU for sharing and saving families LIKE MINE money. Keep doing God’s work.

Very helpful video. Especially being explicit that this is a temporary fix.

THANK YOU... WORKED LIKE A CHARM.. I'M DISABLED AND THIS WAS AN EASY REPAIR WITH A CHAIR

Short, sweet and informative. This is how you make a "how to" video

I was looking in to a new dryer and thought it sounds like a squeaky wheel. your video confirmed it thanks a ton!!!

Had a nasty squeak from a stubborn idler and tried the WD-40 method and it lasted 4-5 months... took it all back apart, removed every single pulley and cleaned them up as well as the shafts with brake-parts cleaner and a rag and took the time to clean the extra lint out of the shell and exhaust. Lubricated the shafts, retaining clips, idler and tensioner pulley bearing surfaces and the “path” of the belt on the drum circumference with Sil-Glyde brake grease and haven’t had a chirp yet! Hope it lasts, the dryer has always had a chirp and is currently running the quietest I’ve seen yet.

The pulley system on mine was accessible from the back, but same concept, worked a charm!

I’m just going to say the same thing everyone else said. Your a lifesaver. I even have the exact same model as you. I was about to go buy a new dryer today but decided to look it up first. Only difference is after opening mine the bearing was already shot out and in pieces. Thanks again!

This is the best DIY video I've seen in long time. It was my issue exactly and it fixed it perfectly. Thanks

Thanks. You saved my grandma $1000

I have this exact same dryer and I’m having this EXACT issue with exactly the same noise. You sir, are a legend. THANK YOU!

Thank you so much. I just had my maintanence man come and fix this and the issue came back. Unfortunately due to the pandemic, they are unable to come into the apartments, so I need a temporary fix for now. I don't want to irritate my neighbors anymore! lol!

Good tutorial on taking apart the dryer, mine is a different model but came apart just as easy, the noise on mine turned out to be one of the rubber wheels that keeps the drum rolling which was becoming seized so I just had to apply some oil and it was back to normal use. Thanks!

Thanks... I greased the felt... Lol... Until I saw this video...super easy!!!.... My son helped... Sprayed the pulleys with wd silicone... No squeaking until I order the parts

whew! thank you for letting us hear the squeaky sound. it made it easy for me to know instantly that it was the same noise as my dryer is making! dang! i guess there's no way out of it, i'm going to go order a whatchamacallit ... thanks again and have a great day.

My wife thinks I can’t do things... you proved her wrong . Thank you sir. Liked, commented , and subscribed!

Have an identical sound, though more intermittent. Opened it up and found a multitude of durrent pulleys and wheels, not sure where to check first. Hopefully this does the trick. **** I do think it's important to remind people that anytime you're inside your dryer housing, it's important to vacuum it out as much as possible. That lint buildup is where dryer fires come from. Every 2-3 years is ideal for piece of mind, doesn't take long.

Thanks to you and your video, we don't have to spend money on a new dryer. So thank you very much

buy a Kenmore dryer they work great and very very very very easy to work on

This video was very helpful in guiding me on the repair of a dryer that I was just about to give up on. Thank you very much for posting this!!!

Thanks so much for this video. Sometimes it can be a little intimidating to try and fix these things. Your video gave me the confidence to give it a try. It just so happened that i have the exact same dryer. Gave it a drop of oil and new part is ordered. Thanks Again.

thank you. im gana have to go and do this later to mine. Its an old/used one we got a few years back.

Thanks for the video. I did some vacuuming prior to praying the pulley wheel. Mine was a white pulley. There were to roller wheels towards the back on mine one on bottom left behind the round bin an the other right side too behind the bin. I sprayed the center of those two wheels too after cleaning them. So far driers back on squeak free for now. There was massive lint under there. Whirlpool 13 years old now. I’ve had the replace the temp sensor on it a few years back also but still going.

I haven’t tried this yet but am going to. Great, easy to follow instructions. Thank you!

Had to come back and say thanks, I was able to stop the screeching and I have the part ordered. I only had my 80 year old dad to "help" me lol but it was easy.

You are a lifesaver. I appreciate your instructions and help!

Good video, replaced the tension pulley assembly a year ago after watching, but now behold, it squeaks again! They do have other wheels spinning, the one that have retaining rings holding the drum. One thing for sure, you oil this pulley and it still squeaks, you have another issue, hehe..

Great teaching video! Now I need to try to fix my dryer.

Thank you. Mine been sealing for bout a week or two now. Getting worse. Need to order that part.

Not only did this help a ton but it verifies what part I actually need thanks a lot! I’m going to sub for sure

Thank you! I appreciate you making this video. It's past midnight and I should sleep, but I'm eager to give it a try now!

WD-40 is not a lubricant.. I took mine apart and used axle grease to lubricate the pulley bushing. Thanks for the instructions on how to disassemble dryer, it help a lot.

Thank you!!! This video totally worked!! A little WD-40 and removal of the 5 lbs of lint from the inside and now it's humming along!! :)

This was so straight forward and detailed thank you so much

I could tell the moment I saw those white shoes, this repair was going to be done well.

Those are def some Dad shoes...good video on the solution !

Yo, Joe! Bro, thank you so much fo this videO! Problem fixed, now everyone in the house is happy and relaxed. Save us psychological counseling too😉.

Newer models have that idler in the back, but this still helped! 👍

mine is a maytag and yesterday i took apart everything (i had replaced the drum myself a few years ago) and applied bearing grease in all the right places and the noise which sounds JUST like urs went away. i do have a spare pulley like that i can use if it comes to that. Liked and subbed!!!

Thank you so much for this. it helped me a lot with our dryer

Thanks a bunch! The Screech has been terminated and now Zach Morris is sad.

Excellent, detailed instruction video! Thank you!

I changed this and put on a new belt 2 years ago and its doing it again.

was not my issue i had hair on the idle wheels that stopped them from freely turning. i had to take the whole drum out but this did help me thanks for the video

Love you, so detailed, perfect teaching!

Thank you man ❤

This is the one I need to do into my squeaky dryer which is a very annoying sound. Thank you!

Applying a lot of cooking oil to the belt while its spinning also works

great video! WD40 is not a lubricant, so thats the only thing I'd make a change with.

love it & it worked but dont go too crazy with the wd40 bc it is flammable

Thanks for your time.. fixed the noise.. ur a champ

OML! Joe! Are you married? Would you like to retire to Louisiana? This saved me some time before I will have to replace my 2011 Whirlpool. Lubed up the pulley but it's plastic-craptastic. Lubed the arm of the motor while I was at it because it looked rough. Just going to let it ride until it dies or I come across some cheap replacement. Mama don't do retail!

I used dw40 on the rollers and grease from a grease gun on the pulley bearing

This helped a ton!! Thanks.

Hellyeah man the video I been looking for step by step 👍

Tip use (white lithium- wd40) - it will not attract dirt like oil or wd40 original does. Hope it helps, thanks for the video

Thank you. Very video to show the problem. Quick, easy, and good fix. Thank you for showing me, a Simpleton, how to fix something that has been bugging me.

Thank you so much. It was awesome and fully fixed my problem.

Your video is great for the temporary fix. My dryer is exactly like yours.what is the name of the piece I need

I did WD-40 back in 2015 To buy time, then used chain saw old, lasted way longer then regular oil. But after that started buying much older used appliances that could be repaired with basic hardware off a shelf. Modern appliances have turned into a cash grab.

Thank you for THIS!

Thanks, I've got the same problem with the same dryer . Luckily I have a grease gun for now

Life saver. Thanks dude. 🙏👍

good video. Thank you for this video

Very informative!

Maybe clean the lint on the moving parts also

Thank you for sharing 👍🏼

thanks

Dude, thank you. I have this exact same pair. You wouldn't have a video on replacing the washer lid wouldn't you lol

thank you!

Thank you. I made the repair today.

Thanks Joe!

What part did you order exactly?

Is this way of disassembling the dryer and where the pully is located the same for not just whirlpool but all front loaded dryers?

Thank you sir.

Lol this is my exact washer and dryer set and i had the same problem. Thanks a lot. Now how do i order the part i need.

Okay I'm hoping I can get a quick answer to a problem of having... when I did this on my friends dryer worked perfectly on my dryer I screwed up and here's what's happened the button that controls the light has come apart from the door and I'm not sure how to reattach it where it goes exactly... I know it goes somewhere at the bottom but I'm not sure I see the clips but can you tell me exactly where that button is positioned it works fine it's still attached to the connector it's just come apart from the door

Fun fact i learned about wd40-it eats rubber over time. DO NOT USE WD40 as it could get on the belt and weaken it enough to snap. Use white lithium

So spray it every two weeks with wd40 till it goes out completely. Got it.

so how much was that part and where did you order it from?

So how do I take the top off if the lint thing is inside the dryer?

do you have a video on replacing the actual idler pulley part?

Thank you.

Thanks. You've given me the confidence to try it. I'm going to unplug the dryer to be safe. Am I too cautious?

Thank you!

Nice video, FYI WD30 is at best a poor lubricant. It was invented to de-ice / spray aircraft wings wd = Water Displacement.

Thanks for the video. Quick question, will a seized up idler pully keep the dryer from starting? I had a really loud squealing noise then the dryer stopped. Thanks for your help.

thank you 🙋‍♂️😃⭐️🚀❤️

So what did you say in the beginning. Couldn’t hear you over the squeaky noise.

Last week on Thursday, my dryer started making a faint screeching squeaking sound, probably from the motor and the bearing starting to get worn out.

Looking for the part info and the part number - great video

Thank You!!❤️

This is super helpful, but isn't WD40 flammable? I don't think I would use that in a dryer.

I'm wondering if the bottom of the dryer is completely enclosed or if it is partially open? If open at bottom maybe possible to tip it over on its side to get to that part easier?

what about the drum bearing..is that a likely culprit for the squeak?

Use white lithium grease it won't gunk up later like wd40
