WED71HEDW1 Whirlpool Dryer - Instructions

Replaced with parts orded worked fine for2 hours and quit heating again

followed the you tube video, came apart ok, very bad lint problem. Vacuummed out extensively. Made repairs, very straight forward. Back together ok, still noisy but not as bad. May be the fan.

removed back panel located heater coil assembly, bottom left of dryer. removed back screw holding heater coil assembly, difficult because it was two feet back where i was. screw was small 1/4 inch. removed wires to thermostat and fuse to remove heater assembly. removed thermostat and thermal fuse, installed new thermostat and thermal fuse. installed new coil. replaced cover to coil assembly. attached heater coil assembly back to its place inserted screw and replaced panel. threw in some wet towels started dryer and worked perfectly.

Our Dryer was no longer heating, upon opening the bottom of the dryer, there was a large amount dryer lint in the bottom. I cleaned it out and found the coil was no longer heating. Order parts from Partselect.com The parts were a perfect match! Identical to the original parts. The repair was simple once I decided to remove the back of the dryer. A lot of screws but with a driver it went quickly.

My husband changed the part but part select was very helpful. With their free repair help site it made repairing a breeze! We will use parts select again and again. I did order all the parts we might have needed and only needed one. Now I will return the others.

First i did some research on the internet approx.1yr ago.Just in case any problems like this or any other kind of problems should arise which it did.The whole thing is Easy all you have to have is some basic knoledge of how things work.All of this came "OFF" in (4) sections.After installing everything back it was as "Quiet"as the day we purchased it.Good for another 5yrs.Retired welder & "J.O.A.T.Julian San Antonio,Texas

Took the back dryer cover off and removed the lint cover all from the back of the dryer then replaces the Thermistor (held with 2 screws).

I replace the terminal block, wires , and dryer plug I unscrewed the back of the dryer and basically replace was burnt out. I was about to pay 200.00 to have it done but I looked on youtube and seen how easy it was so I just chose the site to order what I needed to be replace and it arrived quickly and more affordable to do it myself. Thanks I hope the was useful.

The videos really make it easy. I put my laptop on the washer next to my dryer and proceeded step by step. I also found the video that mentioned about the screws that may come loose on the baffles. I found several loose screws on the baffles which I tightened and I also found the Drum hole plug loose, so I also tightened the plug. Reassembled the unit and has been working like new since.

(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.
