It's ridiculous how helpful this was. This was VERY much appreciated! One of the support wheels on my dryer was obliterated, so this was exactly the fix I needed. The only problem I had was getting the front panel disconnected like you showed, so my fix was to disconnect the cables at the bottom right. I just had my wife hold the thing while I changed out the wheels. She got over it.

Thanks for a great walkthrough. Worked like a charm. Some notes for others who might have a slightly different model - 1. the user interface panel on the front in my model had two plastic tabs on the inside of the unit that needed to be pushed outward to disengage with the frame, then there are two more plastic tabs on the top near the corners of the interface panel - a larger slotted screwdriver slipped in and twisted disengaged them (they were a pain to find). 2. the metal brace above the drum (that the interface panel hides) is removed with two screws left and right front, before you can remove the door panel (at least in my case). 3. Be careful about the replacement wheels you order, mine were all the wrong size but the belt worked. I cleaned and re-greased the 4 support wheels (red/black) and the white idler wheel. Squeak gone :) Took about 3 hours start to finish as I did some cleaning and had to figure out the plastic latches on the front interface. Much appreciated for the video Scott!

The replacement wheels fit a little tight so i was concerned about the drum spinning. Replaced the idler pulley and the drive belt as well. Ive run 2 loads through the dryer now and it seems to be working with no squeling. Fingers crossed its fixed and I was able to save myself $300+ with a service reapir tech.

Ok, leave the top two screws that connect to the exhaust element. Don't remove the Phillips head screws inside the door since the from will come off in a complete unit. When the bottom panel is off, disconnect the two red wires and the ground wire. This lets you remove the door assembly completely.

How do you know if the drum roller shaft needs replacing? Also, no grease huh? Guess it would clog up pretty quickly given what the inside looked like? And last, after 8 years should I see fairly significant lint throughout the inside/should I replace foam gaskets all around? Thanks much.

I’m shocked at how closely this construction resembles the Whirlpool Duet Steam Sport which I just replaced with a set of this 5000 series. I’ve disassembled and reassembled that dryer at least 10 times throughout it’s life but our last set of power surges fried so many wire connections that I called a time of death officially. Haha! I will say to be careful with greasing the rollers and pulley. Mostly because any lint free floating gum it up quicker and the friction can melt the plastic pieces. Sometimes all you need to replace is the little plastic but that holds the wheel on. I haven’t seen your newer videos but I hope you have stopped using the head cam as this can make it difficult for people to see the direction you’re working on. :) It’s also always a good idea to inspect everything and vacuum out any dirt or debris while you’re in there.
