Whirlpool Washer; Dryer Repair – Homeworth, OH (AWNE9RSN115TW01. WED4900XW0)

A Homeworth customer called about a Whirlpool washer and dryer set that needed attention. The washing machine was not washing properly and clothes were not clean all the way, while the dryer was making a high pitch squeak at the beginning of cycles. Our diagnosis revealed two different issues requiring different approaches.

The Problem

The customer reported that their washing machine was not washing properly and clothes were not clean all the way. The dryer was making a high pitch squeak at the beginning of cycles, and they weren’t sure if it was the belt causing the noise.

Diagnosis

For the dryer, we found the drum support wheels and idler pulley components were worn and causing the high pitch squeak during startup. The washer, however, was operating as designed. This particular Whirlpool model is known for poor quality wash performance compared to newer appliances on the market.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 4392065 — dryer drum support wheels and idler pulley kit
• Work performed: Replaced dryer drum support wheels and idler pulley kit
• Result: Dryer runs quietly without the squeaking noise

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Whirlpool washer model has inherent wash quality limitations that won’t improve with repairs. If laundry cleanliness is a priority, upgrading to a newer Speed Queen washer would provide significantly better wash performance. The dryer repair was worthwhile since the mechanical components were simply worn and easily replaced.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Washers and Dryers

• Clean the washer tub monthly with affresh cleaner or white vinegar to prevent buildup that can affect wash quality
• Check and clean the dryer drum support wheels annually to prevent premature wear and squeaking
• Replace the dryer idler pulley at the first sign of noise to avoid damage to the belt or motor
