Whirlpool Dryer Repair – North Canton, OH (WED4950HW0)

We received a service call on Frank Ave NW in North Canton for a Whirlpool dryer making a horrible sound. Our technician found the support rollers had failed, causing the loud noise during operation.

The Problem

The customer reported their dryer making a horrible sound during operation. The unit was still running but the noise made it nearly unusable.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found the support rollers had failed. These rollers support the drum as it turns, and when they wear out, they create loud grinding or squealing noises as metal contacts metal.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 4392065 — DRYER MAINTAINENCE KIT
• Work performed: Replaced two support rollers, one belt and one idler pulley using the Whirlpool repair kit
• Result: Unit is running quietly and heating well

Is It Worth Repairing?

Whirlpool dryers are built for reliability and longevity. Support roller failure is a common maintenance issue that’s cost-effective to repair, especially when caught before it damages the drum or other components. This model should provide many more years of service with this repair completed.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to reduce strain on the drum and motor
• Check and clean the exhaust vent annually to prevent overheating that can accelerate roller wear
• Avoid overloading the dryer, which puts extra stress on support rollers and belts
