A Whirlpool dryer at a home on Peach Street Northeast in Louisville needed a new belt. The belt had broken on the dryer, causing it to stop tumbling clothes properly.
The Problem
The customer reported that their dryer needed a new belt. When we arrived, we confirmed the belt had broken on the dryer.
Diagnosis
The belt had broken on the dryer. When a dryer belt breaks, the drum can’t rotate, which means clothes won’t tumble and dry properly.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 4392065-REPAIR-DYR — repair kit that includes the two support rollers and belt tension pulley
- Work performed: Replaced with the kit that includes the two support rollers and belt tension pulley
- Result: Issue is resolved and operation is normal
Is It Worth Repairing?
Whirlpool dryers are generally reliable appliances that can last 10-13 years with proper maintenance. A belt replacement is a common repair that’s typically worth doing on most Whirlpool dryers, especially if the unit is otherwise functioning well and under 10 years old.
Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Dryers
- Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent airflow restrictions that can strain the belt and motor
- Check and clean the exhaust vent annually to maintain proper airflow
- Avoid overloading the drum, which puts extra stress on the belt and drive system
