All Installation Instructions for Whirlpool Dryer WED500CMW0

Broken belt. Broken idle pully and replace 4 rollers

By watching the video it made the job much easier than I thought it would be. I was very pleased with the speedy delivery of the Dryer kit I had ordered. I had called a local repair facility and they wanted twice as much for the same parts.

I had to order a new part to open and close my Amana dryer

I received the part and was able to get this on my dryer in just a few minutes. I would use this company again if I have any issues with my products at home.

My dryer made squeaking noise when rotating.

I followed directions found on several similar YouTube videos since the instructions included in the Whirlpool parts kit were not for my model dryer. I found that the original idler pulley was not rotating and the belt had worn a groove through it. I replaced all 4 roller wheels, idler pulley and the belt. Problem solved.

Door handle broke

Went to the site for instructions. Received a nice set of three photos with detailed instruction. Very easy to follow and item just snapped in. If I hadn't looked up the instructions I would have probably risked breaking the new part.

Dryer stopped heating

(Always unplug dryer before making any repairs) I opened the dryer and checked the heating element. Making sure that the connection was good and nothing was damaged, I determined the problem was overheated wires. They melted and lots connection. I replaced them with the heating element wire connection kit. Easy to install and simple to get right. I cleaned the dryer again with a vaccum cleaner, removing all the lint, and checked the vents, making sure they were clear...I turned the breaker on (it was tripped when the dryer overheated)and everything worked great.

My dryer quit blowing hot air

I searched YouTube for videos and found one that related. I did the common checks on "fuses" and found one that was open. I ordered the part(s), it came with an extra piece, and it was easy to replace and wasn't that expensive. I had to take off the back panel but after that it was one screw for the part, connect 2 spade terminals. and re-attach the back panel. The part I replaced was the thermal cut-off fuse and it blew because the lint trap was clogged.

Sqeeking noise fron old worn belt and rollers

Watched instructions, Ordered the kit and repair was fairly easy until the time to line up the cover over the fan wheel. That was difficult part. Would be best to have two people at this point to hold it and align the screw holes. Otherwise its was a fairly easy operation.
