WED8800YC0 Whirlpool Dryer - Instructions

Changed all 4 drum support wheels and belt tension arm

removed old latch with pliers - inserted new latch

Remove top, front and drum. Top is removed by sliding a putty knife under the front corners and pushing the tabs back. Front is held with screws. Disconnect two electrical connectors. Rollers are easily accessible and changed.

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.

First, lift top by pushing in the 2 locking clips ( with the dryer door open), otherwise it won't lift.
Secondly, remove front cover by taking out 2 screws easily seen . If you see any electrical connectors, remove them.
Only thing a bit nightmarish was installing the new belt. It didn't seem long enough even though it was the original exact replacement. I got hair dryer blower, used on belt for 30 seconds, and mission accomplished.

Watched videos on line on how to repair. Replaced all four Drum Rollers, Belt and Idler Pulley, cleaned out inside of unit.

How to repair E1 error/fault on Whirlpool Duet dryer model GEW9200LW0 please watch that video very helpful.

I followed the very informative video and wrote down step-by-step notes for myself. The repair went very smoothly. The only thing I didn't realize, was that the dryer has 4 rollers, not just 2 shown in the video. All are easy to access once you disassemble. I had to do it twice since I had to order 2 more rollers in order to replace them all. Also, the triangle plastic washers come with the roller, so you won't need to order them separately like I did. I also changed the idler pulley roller while I was in there since that has bearings too. Just as easy. I'm very happy with my quiet dryer! One last note: The new rollers are a bit louder than normal at first, but they quiet down very quickly as you use the dryer. It must be because they are brand new.

YOU NEVER SENT ME THE PARTS!!!
I had to drive to a parts store to find them. On January 17, 2024, I tried to call you when the parts did not arrive and your recording said there were no reps available and you hung up. WE CANNOT GET HELP TO CANCEL THIS ORDER. We have been going in circles with PartSelect and shipping. SO, how do I get my refund of the $107.26 for the parts that I never received!!

Simple with the Instructions in the video.

I expected to find a broken blower belt so purchased that belt and the others I planned to replace since the on line instructions indicated that I had to pull the drum to replace the blower belt. I did not, so didn't use most of the parts at all. The instructions that came with the parts, were only slightly helpful because they were for a far different model. Some youtube videos were more help. I had to pop the top, which is easy and explained in the instructions, remove the front panel, which only requires removing two 5/16" small bolts, then lifting it up and off. Simple. With that panel off, I could see the blower belt and it was intact and seemed to work fine. I could have replaced it easily with no further disassembly at that point. However, since it was not blowing the air out of the dryer, I knew there was another problem. So I removed the front of the blower housing, which is four, 1/4" small bolts and it just pulls off. I could then see that the entire front of the blower was packed with lint that had gotten past the normal lint filter. I cleared that all out and checked that the blower itself was intact and clean and there were no other obstructions. When I rotated the blower by turning the motor, it moved easily. So I put it all back together without changing any parts and tested it. It worked perfectly again. I kept the parts for the next time I might need them.

Replaced 4 wheels and new belt

I removed all the panels, removed the tub, replaced the pulley, put the tub back in and replaced the panels. Just when I screwed the Last screw in the doorbell rang with the door switch which I installed immediately.
