I did the recommended checks of parts as listed on the website. I would recommend as one other person did but I did not listen the first time and that is to check all the parts don't stop at the first part you find bad. As I had to make two orders paying shipping twice because I thought I found a bad part when testing the igniter but the thermal fuse was also bad and since in a different part of the machine I did not take the time to check it, bad mistake. Also one tool mentioned in the video... Read more
Get your dryer spinning smoothly again - install the Whirlpool 341241 OEM Drum Belt in minutes.
Unpluged dryer first. Then took the lint filter out and removed the two philips screws inside the lint filter lid. Then take a paint scraper just under the top of the dryer two inches from the left front corner and pushed in a little to release the snap connector and did the same on the right side. Then lifted top over. Then take a 5/16 socket or nut driver and remove the two screws on on the left inside panel, then the right side. Lean front out a little and remove the two wires one the back... Read more
Restore full heat and end long dry cycles - install the Whirlpool OEM Dryer Heating Element.
After 22 years my Kenmore (Whirlpool) dryer stopped getting hot. So I went ahead and reviewed the videos and figured I could repair it myself. It should be noted that the only part that failed the Ohm test was the thermal fuse. However, I figured that since I have it apart, I might as well go ahead and replace the heating element and the cycling thermostat. Here is a rundown of what I did and how long it took: • Taking the back off and vacuum <1 minute • Finding the components (from the... Read more
Dryer not heating or overheating clothes? A faulty cycling thermostat may be the cause. Regulates heat levels during the drying cycle. Easy DIY fix.
Rear drum support roller kit for dryers. Mounts behind the drum to maintain alignment and smooth rotation. Replace when rollers are worn or damaged.
I am very glad to find the AppliancePartsPros.com website! Their instructional videos and easy parts reference made all the difference. I had originally planned to have someone come to fix my dryer, but no one was available for at least a week. I checked out their site, and after watching the videos I felt confident I could repair my appliance. I determined that a drum roller wheel had gone bad. Apparently it was going bad over the last five years since the dryer always seemed to rattle a... Read more
Dryer not heating or clothes coming out damp? The heating element generates heat to dry clothes. DIY-friendly repair in about 30-45 minutes.
I am not an electrician, just a housewife with limited funds and a desire to DIY. I used the provided videos for knowing how to replace everything except the heating element which I just guessed based on other reviews and seeing how the other parts worked. Our dryer is 11 years old Whirlpool Gold HE and I have only ever cleaned the lint tray. My husband replaced the belt about five years ago and he did clean out the inside of the dryer. Started by ordering a thermal fuse because it was... Read more
Dryer won't heat? This thermal cut-off kit prevents overheating and restores heat. Includes high limit thermostat and fuse. DIY repair in under an hour.
Complete idler pulley assembly with bracket, roller, and hardware. Replaces worn, squeaking, or damaged pulley components. Maintains belt tension.
I bought the new arm assembly because after a few times of going in through the front of the machine and reaching in the back under the drum I could get to the pulley, so I took it off of the arm and lubed it and then replaced it back inside, put the belt back on and it was good for a week or so , then started squeaking again. So after doing this about 6 times I got the impression that is was the wheel and shaft on the arm were worn out causing the wheel to wobble and wear the arm. I then... Read more
Dryer won't stop spinning when door opens or won't start at all? The door switch likely failed. DIY repair in 10-20 minutes with basic tools.
I realized my load of laundry was still wet after a normal drying cycle. My first action was to turn the dryer on (2010 gas Maytag centennial) and open the front port to look at the ignitor coil. It never turned orange so I knew there must be a problem with the primary circuit. I shut off the dryer, disconnected the power, pulled it away from the wall, shutoff the gas, and removed the back panel. I then disconnected the wires for the thermal fuse and checked its resistance with a multimeter.... Read more

It was the day of my birthday June 6th when my wife came to me to tell me that the dryer was not working. Immediately I started to look for a new dryer from Best Buy and the rest. Then I said It would be better if I waited for 4th of July at which time I could find a better deal. This is when I decided to take it apart to see what was wrong. Initially, I thought of the belt that could be broken and I rotated the drum by hand and I heard a noise of the belt at times falling on the drum. I was... Read more
Dryer not heating or overheating? A faulty hi-limit thermostat cuts power to prevent damage. Common fix when heat cycles on and off unexpectedly.
I used the Appliance Parts Pros d.i.y. video to get some oversight on the repair; ordered the parts (heating element, Hi-Limit T-stat and Dryer Thermal Cut-Off kit). I unplugged the electric; disconnected the exhaust duct; moved the clothes dryer so that I could remove the back sheet metal panel. The electrical connection at the heater "Stacon" terminal was corroded and broken - an open circuit. This had happen about 10 years before and I was familiar with this problem. After removing the...

Replacement drum support roller for dryers. Mounts on the drum frame to support and guide the drum as it rotates. Replace if cracked, worn, or damaged.
I watched videos on the disassembly of my dryer model, and got the model number hiding on the upper dryer door jamb. After calling AppliancePartsPros.com for help, then ordered parts with the help of APP. It took almost a full day to disassemble the dryer I have, as it is a little more complicated than some models, and I went very slowly on purpose to not lose screws, or break plastic parts. Getting the wiring harness apart was the hardest thing to do, as the screwdriver shown in the video... Read more
Dryer won't start or stops mid-cycle? A worn drive motor is often the cause. This motor turns the drum and circulates air. Moderate DIY repair.
My 12 year old Kenmore dryer problem started about 3 years ago with the motor just stopping. My thing was: I would turn it off and turn the drum by hand about halfway around and it would work again. Last month, my wife said it stopped again and its making a loud noise, but when I did "my thing" it still made a loud squealing noise (like I was killing a mouse). I made time to work on it the next day, I took it apart, using the video instructions from AppliancePartsPros, I removed the top,... Read more
Washer won't start or stops mid-cycle? A faulty lid lock assembly prevents operation. Moderately difficult DIY repair—installation video available.
The part is so new no video so I went onto a similar part and watched video that got me about 80%. Then, called and customer service sent me a service Manual but this still was not specific so I broke the old to get it out and in the process figured out how to do it correctly. So I installed the last bit of it which was the bezel through the machine top by myself correctly. So you take the old one out by pushing out to the right from the bottom side using a screw driver for leverage. It will... Read more
