Whirlpool 4392067 Dryer Repair Kit, Original Version

My Kenmore dryer - FIXED, no more squeaking sound, works like new now

The parts are genuine Whirlpool which means they are very high quality, work perfectly and will last much longer than the cheap knock-off parts you can find for a little less. I installed these in a Whirlpool Duet and the overall process is pretty straightforward. I used literally every single part that came in the kit, even the belt. My dryer is quiet again and runs as smooth as ever. In my case it was the idler pulley that was making all the noise and that's pretty common. My drum rollers which were original and around 5-years old still looked good and were pretty smooth but I replaced them anyway since I already had the whole thing torn apart. Overall I spent more time cleaning/vacuuming out the lint and dust than I did doing the actual repair and you should have a vacuum handy to do the same. The shaft from the idler pulley needed a little steel wheel to properly clean it up and you should have some of that on hand too when you do the repair (just in case).

We needed a new belt for the dryer. It was squealing loudly. I decided to order this kit because it included new rollers and another round, white part related to the belt assembly and was cheaper than just the belt. I think the problem might have been the round where part. Ours was unevenly worn inside. The rollers were very easy to replace. There are two plastic triangle shaped washers that go on either side of the rollers. The old ones snap off and the new ones snap on. The triangle washers also hold the round white part in place. I have replaced a few other parts on this dryer (element and thermal fuse) so was familiar with taking the front of the dryer off. The belt is tricky to get back on because it is a snug fit, as it should be. My suggestion is to put the belt around the drum at the smaller area at the back, but the drum on the wheels at the back of the dryer, put something under the drum to support it and lift it up about 3 inches, and then reach back to put belt around the two pulleys (one is the new white part). You're doing this by feel, by the way, because you can't see back there at this point. Look at the diagram that came with the dryer. I put the belt on wrong the first time and the dryer wouldn't start, then figured out what I did. After you get the belt on the pulleys, you have to slide the belt about 2 inches over onto the wider part of the drum. I did this by reaching in on the left, lower side of the drum, sliding the belt towards me over the hump, turning the drum a couple inches, sliding the belt, turning the drum, etc until the belt was in the proper place around the entire drum. I didn't think I would be able to do this by myself, but I did. And I'm a 56 yr old mother of 3, married for 36 years, do-it- yourself gal. The belt fit perfectly and my dryer needed the other parts in the kit so that was a good choice. I also replaced the lint screen and the lint cover which was bowed out (because my hubs stuck his big arm down there) and allowed larger stuff to bypass the lint screen. Good product as far as I can tell at this point, relatively easy to install. Make sure to follow the instructions and unplug the dryer!

Like all of these dryers at some point, my tensioner pulley seized and was squealing like a banshee. If yours is making this noise, I would recommend not running the dryer until you get it replaced. If you stop the dryer right away, the job is much easier. If you don't, the pulley can seize onto the shaft in which case you may need to buy the tensioner arm as well that the pulley mounts on. And you will likely break the belt. All that aside, the job was pretty easy with some youtube help. I am so glad I did this job as it allowed me to vacuum a scary amount of lint from the inside of the dryer and also remove a thick cake of lint/hair/sand/bobby pins/gunk from the inside of the metal duct that connects to the lint filter assembly. All of my drum support wheels and belt seemed fine, but I replaced them since they came in the kit. The bushings of these wheels are bronze oilite, so no lubrication is needed or helpful (it will only attract lint). I cleaned the shafts that the wheels mount to with automotive brake cleaner and a dry cloth to remove built up residue. I then installed the new wheels and they fit and spun very well. Yes, the clips are a bit of a PITA - but you can reuse the old ones (if you don't break them on removal) which are slightly more pliable. Just take your time and you'll be fine. Hope this is helpful!

Didn't want repair man in the house during COVID. Replaced the parts myself. Followed Youtube video of the Electric version of same dryer and put it back together and VOILA! Works like brand new. Took the time to clean out the lint and dust inside too. Clothes used to have burnt smell... realized that it was years of built up lint. Roughly 3 hours of work for an amateur. Cheapest appliance repair ever! No more squealing.

I bought this kit for the idler pulley as it looked almost identical to the one on my front load Kenmore dryer, and it was marginally more than buying either a belt or the wheels. I was hopeful that the other parts would fit. I was very happy when I saw that the belt was an exact replacement. I installed both the pulley and the belt to bring my unit back to life. The wheels do fit but I decided to leave this for now as I would need two more to replace the 6 in my machine. Excellent value with this kit!

This product worked wonders! We used the kit and a YouTube video to repair our dryer. This kit saved us so much money.

High quality replacement parts. Good price and came with instructions.

I wanted it for Whirlpool YLTE6234DQ4 stacked washer dryer, for the dryer portion and it did the job. The colour of the rollers are blue and it was not exact design pattern of the original one on my dryer but there is no difference. The rollers work perfectly and I did not change the belt as I did not know how. My problem was on one of the rollers but I changed all four and got rid of the noise :)
