Whirlpool Dryer Repair – North Canton, OH (LE5650XMW0)

A customer in North Canton called about their Whirlpool dryer that was making noise and wouldn’t heat. When we arrived at the home on West Wadora Circle, we found multiple components had failed, requiring both heating system repairs and drum support replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported their dryer was making noise and wouldn’t heat. This combination of symptoms typically indicates both mechanical wear and heating system failure, which is common in older Whirlpool dryers.

Diagnosis

Our inspection revealed failed cycling thermostats in the heating system, preventing proper heat generation. Additionally, the drum support components — belt, support rollers, and tension pulley — had worn out, causing the noise issues during operation.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 4392065 Whirlpool dryer repair kit, WP694674 cycling thermostat, 279052 cycling thermostat
• Work performed: Replaced the cycling thermostat on the exhaust and heater, replaced the belt, support rollers and tension pulley using the Whirlpool dryer repair kit
• Result: Dryer now operates quietly with proper heating function restored

Is It Worth Repairing?

Whirlpool dryers are built for longevity, and the LE5650XMW0 is a solid model worth repairing when multiple components fail together. Replacing worn drum support parts along with failed thermostats addresses the most common failure points, typically providing several more years of reliable service.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent overheating and cycling thermostat failure
• Check and clean the exhaust vent annually to maintain proper airflow and prevent heating system stress
• Listen for unusual noises that may indicate worn drum support components before they cause belt failure
