Whirlpool WP33002535 Dryer Drum Belt OEM Part

I replaced the belt, belt tension pulley, both dryer drum roller axles and both drum support rollers. Although I bought 2 tumbler bearing kits, because those still look good I am saving them for when they go bad. The videos were fantastic! I also took pictures as I went of wiring so there would be no question where things went when reassembling. It should be noted some models have extra terminals near the sensor terminals... just be aware and look closely/take pics as you are taking things apart. I did purchase a split ring tool half way through the job to remove the split rings after fiddling with a flat screwdriver. It was well worth it and took literally seconds to remove and later replace the rings! I used a spin handle with sockets instead of nut drivers and it worked fine. The right rear drum support and axle appeared to have been the problem; the axle was darkened, the roller was more yellowed, and the nut was very difficult to loosen - all consistent with having been overheated. The belt tension pulley does not come with washers so be sure to save the two to reuse if you are replacing this part. Also if you suspect your problem is coming from the pulley you might consider buying the idler pulley arm that comes with the shaft permanently mounted to it. Mine looked fine and I did not replace it. All in all the job was very simple because of the videos that showed where all the clips were and the order of disassembly and reassembly. I am a smaller woman and the only thing I needed help with was to get the right rear drum roller axle loosened. Had I been alone I would have had to tried to fit a cheater bar on the end of my wrench handle which would have been a challenge due to the tight working quarters on that side. I was able to easily do everything else by myself.

My dryer was making a squealing noise when operated. In researching the fix, I came upon your website through Google. I found your videos for repairs very good. The videos also told me how well the Maytag dryer is engineered. I purchased some of the parts as preventive maintenance, such as the belt, and tumbler bearing kit. It was a good thing that I bought two felt seals when I did. Both were in terrible condition. I believe my rear felt seal was not installed properly when originally manufactured. The worst part because of the blown felt seals, lint had gotten all over the inside of the dryer. Most of the repair time was spent cleaning up. You are missing the rear seal replacement from your video series. It is better for you to remove the rear bulkhead to replace the rear seal. The second part involves making sure the over-connection end points of the felt seals are really secured. When installing my drum again in the dryer, it knocked the felt seal out of the clamp at the cross-over points. The third part involves making sure both felt seals are outside the drum. When you are reinstalling the front bulkhead on the drum, the felt seals may have gotten inside the drum for both the front and rear seals. BTW, the felt seals should be on the outside of the drum. Don't worry if the felt seal is inside the drum when assembling everything. Take your fingers and run it into and around the gap where the drum rests. You can tell when the felt seal is on the outside the drum and inside the drum. You should be able to poke the felt seal if it is inside the drum to the outside of the drum with your fingers. Do this for both felt seals. Your fingers should be able to go around the gap with no stoppage. At this point, you can tell that the felt seal is in the correct position.

Just like the video showed. Took my time, took pictures of the disassembly with my camera and got it back together no problem. My dryer runs like new!

Replaced the drum support roller. Since the dryer was older and I had it opened up, I replaced the drum belt. What took a little bit of extra time was vacuuming everything. The repair video was terrific.

Ordered rollers, bearing, felt seals, axles, clips and belt. Watched repair videos on Youtube and fixed it in about 3 hours. TOok long cause I cleaned out the inside and the piping through the wall to insure all the lint was out of the pipes and dryer.
