This video was me to help people with Maytag dryer that is making loud squealing, grinding, noise.
Is the idler pulley is not what’s wrong with your machine the next thing to check will be the drum rollers.
Drum rollers are a little harder to get to and I’m going to make another video and I will link it in this description when I finish it.
Screeching dryers always a bad thing. If your dryer is making a loud thumping or grinding squealing noise immediately stop and figure out what is wrong if you continue to run it you can damage many other parts of the dryer and it’s also a major fire hazard.

Great tutorials. Common sense approach and explaination for the DIYer. ANYONE can fix common problems and issues by following you on your channel. I pick up scrap metal as a sideline, and its amazing how many nice, late model units i pick up as junk that need very little. I had one recently that the keeper and ider pully fell off of. That was all, and it was scrapped by the customer. I donate most of my repaired units to people who cant afford to buy new appliances. Thanks for making your contribution of knowledge.

This was a great video, showed me everything I needed to do, *except*, on my model of dryer (model #MEDB880BW0), the emergency cutoff is completely different, it's a piece of electronics with a physical tab that goes in the cross-shaped cut-out, when the idelr pulley is released, it knocks the tab down. All you have to do is re-set that tab when you've got the new pulley all in place, but it did take me a little bit of testing and trial-and-error to get it right. Thanks so much!

No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't do it. I thought the new belt was too short. What I wound up doing was leaving half the belt on top off the drum, then l had enough slack to fit it on. Then afterwards I pulled the belt over the drum in the proper place. Anyway, that was the only way I could get it to go. All good now and you sir were a HUGE help. Thanks!

Hi, great video. I have a maytag bravos, it makes a small thumping noise when spinning. Also right before it comes to a stop when you turn it off it makes a growling/thumping noise. Checked all rollers and they all seem to be spinning fine, could it most likely be idler pulley? Or bad spring? Or rollers worn out even if they spin fine?. Thanks in advance.

@WasherDryerMoney 2 жыл бұрын

Check the drum itself where the rollers run. Sometimes they’ll be a little piece of lint or old rubber that will slowly grow and create a thumping noise when the roller hits it. Also occasionally there will be stuff in the actual dryer fins that flip the clothes. Usually it will sound like change going back-and-forth.

Always hard to tell when I’m not there to actually look at them. But first use some type of oil to lubricate it. I like white lithium grease. Do not use WD-40. You could also lubricate the pivot point on the arm of the idler pulley. Try that first

I replaced the idler pulley, but I am having issues putting the belt back on. It is too loose. I took pictures before, but still cant manage to put it back. I even took it apart from the front to see if the belt missed going around something, but no, it only grabs the drum. How can this be? Looked for belt diagrams, and nothing that's clear.

Did you ever get a response or instructions? I am having the exact problem as you describe.

Solved the issue, if it will help anyone, make sure to align the belt more towards the center of the drum, not the back edge. Look for the old belt marks and align to help you. Also, make sure nothing is interfering with belt from being aligned. After making those corrections, I was able to get a tight fit, and install correctly.

@@humbertolanderos6874 we are having this same issue. Belt is now too loose and won’t stay on! Am dreading opening up the dryer further :( any suggestions? Replacing the idler pulley was a 10 min job. Great video on that .

I replaced the heating element and everything was working then i replaced the belt tensioner and suddenly it won't start. Possible i damaged the motor by using an impact for the bolt? Kicking myself right now

It was the switch right behind the tensioner. Had no idea there existed such a thing. It's making more noise than before now somehow.

I think one of the wheels wasn't making contact. seems okay now after lubing and reassembling for the nth time. That switch by the tensioner is a PITA though. Hard to reach from behind

why di you use white lithium grease??

@WasherDryerMoney 3 жыл бұрын

I’ve always liked white lithium grease. I fixed some machines and had to go back to do other repairs later and the spots that I used white lithium grease we’re still well lubricated. I’m also a fan of silicone lubricant spray from Walmart for some applications. There’s 1 million different types. I just prefer white lithium but to each their own.
