I just followed the steps in this video and fixed my own dryer. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Just took my Maytag apart using your directions and discovered my problem is exactly what you discovered. Two warn out rollers. Easy fix! Many thanks!

Thanks for the very helpful video. My dryer sounded *exactly* like your dryer at the beginning of your video. After I took my dryer apart, and cleaned everything, I couldn't see that anything was obviously wrong. So, I put it all back together, and the ugly noise was gone - no replacement parts needed! : )

Thank you Sir. This 5-minute video explained in easy language and with great camera shots, exactly what was wrong with my dryer (or my wife's dryer) and how to fix it. I have never seen inside a dryer before and as you said, it would take more than a half-hour. Maybe two hours, tops! It went smoothly. No unanswered questions. No vague video clips or camera angles. All 'round, a great learning experience. Thank you., again. BTW, I am in Canada and everything comes as a kit, including both wheels, the belt, four of those triangular plastic spacers and the tension arm.

Thank you for your tutorial. I just did this repair by following along. I only had a couple of minor issues along the way. I had a hard time getting the triangular holding brackets onto the post properly and when I was trying to put the front back on the little clip things for the screw hole kept falling of and I would have to backtrack a few steps to fish them out from under the drum. All in all the repair took about an hour and my dryer works perfectly again. Thank you so much for this video!

I repaired appliances before retiring and the only thing I fault with this video is the greasing of the replacement rollers. The roller bearings should not be greased as they are oil-light, which means they are porous, allowing oil to fill space in the bearing and lubricate the roller shaft.

This walk-through worked for replacing the drum in my Admiral dryer. Thanks for the upload

Thank you for the video, I fixed the my Maytag noisy dryer by replacing the 2 idle pulleys as you directed step by step, so cool.

Thanks for making this. Saved myself a bundle by repairing my dryer myself.

Thank you so much, I love learning how to fix things like this. I didn’t have the money to buy a new dryer or hire a repairman and this got my dryer working perfectly.

I just replaced the wheel and belt on my Whirlpool today using just this video. Gracias, amigo! I had a slightly bent bottom wheel that caused the barrel to los a bit of its seal. Also caused the bottom wheel to wear down its rubber and causing that awful noise. This video tutorial saved me money, and I appreciate you my man!

Great video. Concise and fast. I bought the package of two wheels (came with four trianglar clips); new belt and idler pully for $61.00 plus shipping. Took me about an hour from the time I removed the top and front and installation.

As a 20 something female, my mother didnt want to let me rip the back off her hoover twin tub when it wasn't working. I had watched my dad as a kid and changed a belt in my own. I snapped at her i knew what i was doing and could at least identify if dad needed to buy a belt on the way home, or hook the belt back on if possible. She was unreasonably impressed, but i spoiled the i told u so moment struggling to get the little protective square around the power cord to sit in the right spot and left the back off as dad was going to have to look at it anyway, the problem was not one i could identify. Thanks for showing me dryers are also very simple. I had no idea.

Thank you sir! My Father & I were able to fix our dryer thanks to this video We spent a long time searching for those screws under the lint tray

Thanks a lot for your video, short and sweet and strait to the point. Had the same problem with my dryer and I've fixed it myself. You just saved me money. Thanks again!

I just started this process and its just as you said a better way to go ans save money. Thank you for such an easy to understand video 💯

Your video couldn't have been more helpful. Once I heard the noise the dryer in your video was making, I knew that my dryer had a similar problem. I raced to a nearby appliance parts store and purchased a full replacement kit for $44. I installed the kit and had everything back in place within an hour or so. Given that my dryer is from 1999, it would not have made sense to pour $250 or more into having a serviceman repair my machine. So, thanks for your great video! Jeff

Wow! This video is so informative and the step-by-step instruction is efficient and on point. I've never fixed a dryer before and I certainly find this vid easy to understand, esp I get to learn the structure of a drying. Nice work! Thank you very much!

Awesome job. Thank you so much. I followed all your steps. So now I don’t have tennis shoes thrown around in my dryer anymore. Awesome video

My dryer was making that exact noise! I was so scared to get someone to fix it because of what it'll cost me. It finally just stopped. I replaced the rollers, tensioner and the belt (package). DONE!!!! It's back up and running! Thank you! Thank you!!!

Great tutorial. Same issue with same dryer. Didn't have the parts though. Used a dremel and a polishing wheel to clean the post and the drum wheel. Added grease and running like a charm.

Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I fixed our dryer with your help.

Really well done video: concise, clear and smart. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick informative video! I just completed this repair tonight! You’re right the grommets from the old wheels were hard to get off and back on the new wheels. And to the hardest part to boot was on the last fn screw the @husky ratchet screw driver broke off its socket and fell down the lint trap! We had to use some ingenuity and take out the drum, secure the lid and flip the dryer over and let gravity do the trick! But all put back together and no more rumble thanks to you, definitely a new sub for the great video!

Priceless video dude!!! My dryer was identical! Hurray for the simplicity of a simple machine without a “control panel” costing as much as a new dryer!!

well done, complete and silent. Thanks for the Clear, concise and easy DIY video.

Awesome! Nice to see that simple repairs don’t have to be intimidating. What a money saver. 👍🏼

Thanks for the helpful informational video. My husband has now fixed our dryer.:)

Great tutorial that’s exactly what was wrong with mine except mine was more obvious the wheel was broken the plastic part was melted all around just waiting for the parts to put it back together thanks again peace 😎

Thanks for this. Probably saved me a ton of money and it felt good fixing something myself! Very helpful video!

Gonna try this out after I figure out what make and model my dryer is, it's real old! Replaced the washer not too long ago and I am not trying to do the same with the dryer when it's just noise!

You saved me a service call! Thank you very much!

Thanks. I watched this vid & the drum rollers are definitely the problem. Thanks.

Good thing i found this video. I have the exact same mode and i previously took mine apart but didnt have time to mess with it so i just cleaned it and closed it up. But this is going to save big money because the wifey was already talking about buying a new one, her solution to everything lol.

Thanks for useful info !

Thanks very informative and my dryer no longer makes noise after I used Silone lube. I cannot however get the bottom of the front cover on at the bottom!

Thanks for posting this video! I used this as a guide to fix my dryer (for the first time) and it ended up I needed to replace one of the wheels. Now it's running smooth like new!

It’s easy !!! way easier than I thought, the most difficult part for me was all the hair stuck on the the rollers other than that maybe the triangle retainers getting stuck on the the indent closest to the out side when it has to go on the inside indent. Easy job, not my first wrenching experience but pretty straightforward for the average person. Spend the 30 bucks and if you don’t have the tools go down to autozone and pick up a 15 dollar set and one packet of grease at the counter and you’ll be good to go!!!

Great Video Thanks for sharing, will atempt this weekend !

Gracias amigo. Saludos desde Ecuador

Thank you for the video. It helped a lot.

Thanks for the instructioninal video. My dryer is different looking,but I am sure the mechanism is very similar. I will be making an honest attempt to repairing mine this weekend. Wish me luck.😂

Your video was great and gave me the info I needed; and since my last name is "Alley", I knew I picked the right one!

Awesome, and thank you!

Best repair video I've seen!

Awesome one

Thank you for this video helpful

Thanks for your very informative video

Ty so much Blessings to you & your Family

My noise turned out to be a nail that worked its way into the cloth seal. Thanks for the education!

excellent very helpful

Excellent tutorial! Thanks to your directions, my dryer is quiet again and I am $1.87 richer. LOL!

I watched several of these videos and your was the best!!! Ty.

I just repaired my dryer... Thanks for the video

Thank you so much you're video was very helpful to me

Very good video, thank you!!

Thank you so much for this video, you saved us a lot of money !

We have a condenser tumble dryer and the foam strips have fell off condenser box, is this a problem and what are they for???

Great job, Tom. Say "Hi" to Woodrow.

What about if you replace the rollers and belt and there's *still* a low cyclic noise? Not as bad as before, but it makes me wonder if I missed something, or did something wrong. It's a Whirlpool roper RED4440VQ1 electric dryer.

Perfect video

Just did this. Be sure to check the seal of the drum for loose screws

Thank you for this video. 😊

Thank you!

Thank you so much Sir ❤

Thank You 👍🏼

Thank you so much for the video!

amazing thanks

Thank you sir! You saved me a lot of money lol

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

Amazing video thank you 😊 you saved me $500 bucks of buying a new one.

Thank You

This is a great, simple video - really appreciative. About to fix my dryer, and going to order new rollers as I'm 90% sure that's the issue. Can you help with that grommet circle thing? I have a bad track record with fragile metal bits and expect I'll break them too. Do you know what that part was and can you post a link? Imagine it's a set and it wouldn't hurt to have one too (plus it's a good excuse to give myself more tools!)

Hey man thanks for the video. Ive replaced everything and it starts roaring then when i pit clothes in it stops. Ive rechecked and opened the dryer more than 25 times. Cleaned rechecked the drum was good and fitted. I leave the too open so i can see the rotation. I cannot put a certain amount clothes because it stops. Help

Is it possible that if there’s issues with the wheels that it may cause a burning smell? When I run the dryer and gives off a faint burning smell plus the knocking noise is just like yours in the video. My daughter and I are trying to do this together. Thank you for your help.

Just finished this, and it was the prob 👍

Thank you 💪🤓

Thanks man .

You should not use Grease on the rollers, the grease will attract lint/dust/hair etc & cause the rollers to lock again..Use dry lube such as graphite or silicone that is Temp resistant as well..(High Temp) or simple use nothing at all......I use a Drop of 3 in one, All temp silicone...FYI...Liked the video as well

Good video! My brother had bad rollers on his dryer for quite some time but continued using anyway. Now after telling me I just tried fixing it and noticed black particles from the rollers you mentioned are actually stuck or melted into the groove on the drum right where the rollers touch. Now after replacing rollers, idler pulley, and belt it still makes a lot of noise. Do you think those particles stuck to the drum are causing problems for the new rollers? I don't know how to remove it. I hope he doesn't need a new drum.

so what exactly was making the knocking noise??

Thank you so much for the amazing stop on video! I followed exactly what you said and cleaned everything up and it’s good as new :)

you should grease the tensioner pulley axle and the front roller axles too

Great video!!! Did you put a new belt?

Would a chip on the blade cause it to sound real loud it drys and works good thank you for the help

How can i find/locate the part number of my Whirlpool accessories before purchase? Thank you Anyone/Anybody with a Prosperous heart answer much appreciated it god Bless

I'm pretty sure my dryer's problem is exactly what's in your video, but the little plastic electrical connector is keeping me from moving forward! It won't unclip as easily as you did it. I've been trying to disconnect it for the last 20 mins and I'm about to throw the whole dryer away!

I have the same exact dryer. Do I just ask for drum rollers for whirlpool?

I'm not so sure about auto grease in a heated compartment - fire hazard, and its potential to have lint, etc accumulate into it too, defeating the purpose of the grease. I'll go with dry graphite lubricant myself.

Hey I hope you still respond to older videos, our dryers are closely identical. So the second wheel is supposed to have quite a gap in which the wheel can move forward and backwards? Before I took the drum out I was able to grab it from the inside and move it pretty well back and forth. Our initial problem was that it was making a medium noise as if a shoe was in it while it was running So it was turning just loud, now I have it apart like yours. Model WED5500SQ0

Does anybody know how to get the right rollers? Okay look up a part number and I'm having trouble. Does it matter?

Replaced belt, entire upper shroud with plates, rear drum bearing and support, lower felt, and entire motor assembly. It’s humming extremely loud and still making thumping noises. The dryer has no wheels and the blower fan is fine. The only thing I didn’t change was the tensioner arm and pulley which shows no signs of issue. I’m completely lost at this point 🤷🏼‍♂️

The video was made well and very informative. However, IMO, 2 things were left out because this happened to me. When removing the 2 screws where the lint filter is, slow down and take extra care to keep hold of these screws to not drop them down that filter shoot. If this happens you have lost the screw or more work, taking more apart to get it back. And 2, there are sharp edges that can cut you. Be careful or wear gloves.

Ok my daughter and I just changed the rollers and the belt. We could not get the retainer rings on new rollers. Still sounds a little rough. Any suggestions?

Is the roller on the right hand side supposed to have any play on the shaft? Say about 1/2-3/4 of an inch?

Are drum turning but wheel loose

Omg thank you for saving me $$$$$

What if your dryer start off with a thump with squeaking noises?
