Flame to dry clothes would go out after about a minute and wouldn't reignite Wendell M. • Brown Deer , WI • June 19, 2014
I'm starting with a quick background on my dryer. About 18 months ago the belt on the dryer started slipping and squealing.

For the next 6 months I had to spray it more and more often. Then the clothes stopped drying. Obviously, at this point, I had to get off my lazy ass and fix the dryer.

Dryer belt burned up due to wedged sneaker Benjamin E. • Marietta , GA • September 30, 2014
I was out of the country when the damage occurred but based on my wife's description I knew what had happened.

The idler pulley was squeaking Bob C. • Fall River , MA • June 12, 2014
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.

The Drum Support Wheel Retainer is an OEM part for Whirlpool dryers. This part secures the drum support wheels in place, ensuring that the dryer drum rotates smoothly and quietly during operation. The retainer is designed to fit precisely, preventing the support wheels from loosening or wobbling, which can lead to inefficient drying and increased wear on other components.
Over time, retainers can wear out or become damaged, potentially leading to a loose drum support wheel. This can cause the dryer to operate noisily, vibrate excessively, or even damage the drum itself if not addressed promptly.
Symptoms of a bad Drum Support Wheel Retainer include:
- Unusual noises, such as squeaking or thumping, coming from the dryer
- Excessive vibration during operation
- The dryer drum may feel unstable or wobble when turned by hand
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

- Reduced airflow, resulting in clothes not drying properly or increased drying times
- Unusual noises like rattling or thumping, suggesting the wheel may be loose or damaged
- Excessive vibration of the dryer, especially if the blower wheel is unbalanced
- The dryer overheating due to restricted airflow if the wheel is clogged or malfunctioning
Causes of a bad blower wheel typically involve objects getting caught in the wheel, lint build-up that unbalances the wheel, or wear and tear that leads to the wheel's fins breaking or deforming.
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Dryer was getting louder and louder finally it started vibrating horribly i pulled the bottom panel and the blower housing fan teeth were missing Anthony C. • Newton , KS • June 06, 2015
I wanted to avoid pulling the drum. Luckily, my blower was easily accessed by pulling the front bottom panel. A couple of sheet metal screws were all I needed to remove the fan housing cover. I knew the fan was on reverse threads, i.e. righty-untighty. As it spins it tightens so no need for a retaining nut. I took off a screw holding on the exhaust tube and wiggled it out. I found the broken teeth inside. With the tube out of the way I was able to slide a crescent wrench in back and place...
