Thank you!! Fixed the noise three days ago, couldn't have put it back together today without your assist!

Great repair video! I am now a hero in our house with dry clothes. Thanks again

Excellent repair video it made it simple to replace the idler pulley and drum rollers!!! Thank You!

I wasn't replacing the same part as you, but showing me how to disassemble this model was extremely helpful. Thank you for the great vid!

I wish every repair video was this quick, complete and simple. Very, very well done!!!

Want to thank you for this clear step by step video. Took me a while to go through all the steps, but my dryer sounds like new now. Much appreciated!

Thanks for this detailed video. My wife and I changed the rollers, idler pulley and the belt as well as get a great cleaning inside the dryer. Runs like new and couldn't do it without this video!

Buddy! You are the man! Can't thank you enough for this video. It walked me right thru the process start to finish without a hitch. On behalf of everyone who's commented so far, YOU ROCK!.

Thank you so much! I got my dryer completely taken apart. Just waiting for my parts to come in so I can get it put back together. This was so easy to follow and saved me so much money from getting a professional in

Thank you, the step by step directions gave me the confidence to make this repair myself for only a few dollars in parts. Huge savings over what a repair person would have charged. Thank you!!!

Saved me lot of money on a service call / repair. I bought a repair kit on Amazon that included the idler wheel, the 4 drum wheels and a belt, for $40. Only needed the idler wheel though. It wasn't turning at all! Your video was a huge help. Thanks!

Great walk through. This is the second time I've used your video to help guide me through disassembly. Thank you, saved me $260.00 this time.

This is a PHENOMENAL walk through. Absolutely what I needed to fix my Maytag MGD5630HW dryer. I ended up replacing all the wheels, the pulley wheel and the belt. I think the culprit was grinding at the back left wheel. Again, cannot thank you enough for this. Even though the front of the dryer on your model looks slightly different, this was exactly what I encountered in my MGD5630HW, with the exception of the mounting of the circuit board (minor difference that didn't impact anything). Thanks again!

This is a great video. Saved me a few hundred bucks. Took my son and I an hour to do the whole thing along with the guide rollers.

Perfect for my dryer. Loved the clear, step-by-step instructions. It made the repair easy. The difficulty level of this repair is 1/5 (easy) because of the detailed instructions.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Knowing what screws to remove made this job straightforward!!

Thank you for this video. I knew that our dryer needed a new heating element but had no idea how to disassemble. Using the steps you outlined, I was able to replace the heating element and get the dryer working again! Thank you!!

Great video. Saved me the cost of a service call. I did have to pull up another video to figure out how to put the belt back on the idler pulley. Thanks again.

Well done video! I ended up pulling off the 4 drum rollers, cleaned them up and put a very thin layer of lithium grease on the spindles. When I see metal on metal, I can't put them back on without some lubricant. The idler pulley was just gummed up. Cleaned it up as well with some grease on the spindle. Since it is not a bearing, I found no reason to replace. Should be good for another 100,000 miles.

Thank you! Saved me incalculable time trying to figure this out by myself.

Great video!! The only thing to add is to have your vacuum ready to clean out the machine. Also- helpful tip - replace the two screws at the bottom in the middle with 2” long screws, and put a black mark where groove goes over the screw. It’s much easier to set the door back on the long screws at the end.

Just finished doing this repair. Instructions were exactly what i needed. If you get OCD on repairs like i do…there were a mix of self tapping and regular 1/4 inch screws. Getting the’ loop’ around the tensioner to the drive was also maybe the hardest part ands still only took a try or two. Thanks for putting this video together!

Thank you very much. for other dryer dissecting virgins, this task took me 1.5 hours. i even won 5 extra screws. Make sure to take a look underneath to see the path for the belt before you remove the drum.

Excellent video., thanks

Thank you for very clear and step by step instructions. Repaired my 10 year old Maytag dryer with ease!!

Great video. I found the belt tension pulley and 3 of the barrel carriers difficult to almost frozen on my 9 year old Maytag that gets heavy use (I almost reached for the yard rake to get all the debris out of the cabinet). But rather than replace them I used a brass 12 gauge bore brush on my electric drill. That and 1200 grit sandpaper as you suggested and they spun like new. Since the surfaces are steel, the brass bore brush just cleans the surfaces. Just a suggestion that might save people a lot of money.

Great video, I’ve used it twice. I bought a non Whirlpool parts kit from Amazon. In less than three months the drum stopped turning last Saturday. I took it apart to find one wheel had come apart and ruined the wheel shaft $44. Then the idler pulley seized and burned the belt up. Two of the other three wheels were grinding while spinning. I just bought a whirlpool parts kit replaced the belt, idler pulley, the shaft and 4 wheels.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! It was fantastic! Saved me $ and now I feel like I can fix our dryer whenever it has an issue. Seriously, very impressed with how clear your video is. Great work!

Great video... Saved me a bundle... Would have never attempted this without your video... Only recommendation would be to show how to route the belt a little closer... My was already disconnected and had no clue how to route it... Watched a different video just for that and followed your video step for step... Again you are a life saver.

Awesome video, perfect clear instructions. Definitely saved me lots of money on a service call.

Awesome instructions and easier than I thought. The Whirlpool paper instructions with the repair kit (rollers & belt roller wheel) were a joke. Glad I Googled and found your posting!! Thanks

Excellent video. I have a maytag med5630hw Extra Power and it is virtually identical, but our noise/vibration was a cracked blower wheel. Thanks for your help!

Awesome! Thanks for the detail!!

Great step-by-step instructions! Took some time but well worth it. Thanks a ton.

Thank you so much. The step by step instructions were great.

Thank you so much! You just saved me at least $150 in labor fees!

Great video only other thing would be nice to see is the spring on/off and back on correctly. I’m forgot was flipping around a few times before settled on the spring position

Great video! With an $8 part my dryer is back in service. My Maxima dryer had the wiring harness running in front and had to be removed but besides that all screw locations were the same. Thanks!

Watched your video, very comprehensive & thorough! Completed the idler pulley and belt change with ease! Excellent instructions! Thank You!!👍🏾

Thanks for making this video - it helps us shadetree repairmen. Tackled easily - only add I would make is wish I would have taken a few pictures of all the electrical connections to refresh my memory! Well done.

Thank you. Dryer was squealing like a pig being tortured. Unusable. It was that bad. Disassembled and everything seemed ok besides the idler pulley. Was jammed. I'll order a new part. In the meantime, I used sandpaper and greased it. No more squeal. Thanks again.

Thanks for the informative video, it was very helpful. I was actually looking to get to the blower housing to clean it out as I am having heating issues. I have changed out this idler pulley twice in the past but went through the back panel which is a lot less involved than going through the front, tighter room to work in but doable. Now I know how to access through the front as well. Thanks again.

Wow! Thank you very much. without this video, there is no way I could have done this. And you explained everything so well. Only thing I would add is putting back on the belt is not so intuitive. Pay close attention to how it is installed. Take pictures if possible. when you first try install the belt, you don't realize that the white wheel (that was oiled and cleaned) actually is spring mounted so it can move vertically up and down with tension pulling it down. Otherwise you're like how does the belt spin if the belt is touching itself. Also, when re-installing the front door helps to put something under the dryer to elevate it so you can see it can properly fall back into the two screws that never fully were taken out.

Informative AND quickly paced. Thank you.

Fantastic! One thing to note at 4:02 is the white plastic flap that you can see below the metal lint screen housing. This flap should go straight into the dryer, not pinched/bent down as shown. The flap provides a protective shield for the thermal fuse and thermistor connections that are below it on the exhaust housing. No complaints though! I successfully used this super helpful video to find and replace my thermistor. Thanks a million!

Very helpful. I did put a very light coating of grease on the roller pins. Hope that’s ok. What an amazing difference. Clothes are drying a lot faster as the drum is tossing the clothes instead of them rolling into a ball.

Thanks alot , just replaced my idler pulley and did the rollers and belt as well . This video was a lifesaver !!

Really straight forward directions

Thank you for the video. Step by step very well done. Saved some money.

You seem to skim quick over the belt & pulley holding drum . You make it look easy. Now I'm stuck . Anyway, its a good video. Wish it came with someone coming to my house to get this belt off the pulley . bummer

Awesome. Thank you.

Great explanation and details. I decided because one idler or drum wheel was noisy I just changed all of them and I put on a new belt. Should be good for 3 years 🤔maybe. Thanks again

I can't thank you enough for creating such a detailed instructional video. I followed your step-by-step instructions and I was able to replace the idler pulley on my dryer. You saved me so much money on this repair and I had the satisfaction of doing the job myself. Keep up the awesome work. You have a new fan!

Thank you, great video walkthrough!!! Saved me a ton of money with a very simple repair. Bought the repair kit on Amazon.

Thank you for this video. With your help I was able to fix our squealing Maytag Maxima dryer. Whew, this saved me some cash.

Very helpful!!

Just successfully replaced my pulley! Thanks for your help!

Great explanation walk-through! Thank you very much.

Best video on KZfaq

This was fantastic - spot on and a huge time saver!

Thanks man. This was a life saver. Really appreciate it.

Had the same problem. But from a closer look at the idler pulley and the 4 rollers, it's unlikely you would need to replace any of it. I just sprayed some silicone lubricant down the shafts, spun them to work out the crud that had built up, and put it all back together.

Great instructional video! Thanks

thank you so much!! awesome steps on how to. appreciate your vids!

Thank you

So well done....best info,thank you

Step by step, thank you!

Thank you so much! Really great Vid! Helps !!!!

Why is it not able to be done from the back? I was reading on the website where purchased my part and customer made a comment he did his by removing the back. But I do not know for sure if it was exactly the same model, as you know some of the parts cross over to other brands. Any thoughts on doing it from the back since it seems like mostly it's located towards the back. Thank you very well done video.

Just finished doing mine, the deice pulley would not move. Took it off cleaned it with steel wool, silicone it. since I had it apart did the rollers and vacuumed out all the lint

Outstanding. Thanks so much for this. Saved me about 3 hrs. Haha. Cheers

Thanks for the amazing video. Quick question please...does the idler pulley have bearings inside? I pulled mine off and the metal and plastic parts seem fuzed together. Thank you.

Would be nice if you left a link to where you got the replacement pulley

Fixed my dryer bud! Anyway we can tip you? paypal, venmo, something?

Great video. So all is going well but when I put the drum back in, the belt is really loose. It's going around the motor and the pulley, the drum seems to be in the correct position, but there's a ton of slack in the belt. What am I doing wrong?

I have this same one and makes like a thimping sound when spinning. What could this be?

Why not go from the back. Can someone give me an answer for this. Cause I'm about to do this pully replacement but I've seen it done from the back

Thank you!

Why didn’t you just take the back panel off to access it?

I have a slightly newer model as yours shown, which just recently starting making a loud rattling noise would you suspect it is the idler pulley? It is frustrating because the unit is just a year old and is already having issues.

Is there a way to send a gift card to the publisher?

Reattaching the belt was a problem as I couldn't see inside the machine when I took it off. User @user-tx9zw4ld9x included a video in their comment that resolved that puzzle for me. See at 10:04 of this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipiYe5xotr3Nlmg.html My one other problem is that one of the two tabs on the control panel that get screws through them snapped off! I have glued it together. I hope it holds and I can complete the reassembly. I was able to start the dryer so I know that everything is connected so far.

Anybody knows if we supposed to add a little grease to the pulley?

Dude!!!!! Thank you!!!

Is it possible to reach rollers from dryer's back side?

Is it possible the drum could be put in backwards?

Hi, I have E01 F03 code on the same machine maybe you can help? Thanks

Anyone know what's the part number for the pulley 😅

if I bought a complete kit and I only need idler pulley replaced, is it worth changing everything out while its open? or will those rollers last long?

Thank you. This was very helpful in disassembling and replacing the idler pulley and pulley assembly on a Maytag Maxima Med6000XG1. 10:04 of this video helped with routing the belt on the idler pulley kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipiYe5xotr3Nlmg.html

I can’t get the front panel back on the drum! 😡

Why on earth would you tell people to disassemble the entire machine when you can simply remove the back cover to replace the belt tightener!!

Never buy one of these machines!!! They are shit!!! Just don't do it!!!
