Comments: Whirlpool gas dryer (drop down door type) drum
has stopped. All other ''sounds' sound
normal. Belt did sort of squeal for a
time lately. I have the skills to repair
this as I have heard you on this prior to now; however, I have forgotten the
attendant details...Thanks....

Answer:
Hi Joe, thanks for your note. Sounds like an easy job for
you. Remove the lint filter where you will see 2 screws under the trap door.
Pop the top up from the front. The top is held in place with 2 clips in the
front. Remove the wires from the door switch and make sure the power is turned
off first. There may be 2 screws holding the bottom of the front panel or you
may just have to tug upward on the front panel and it will come off. Now
everything is exposed. Look at the idler pulley which is a common sound of
sqeaking when the bearing goes bad. Replace it and make sure the grove side of
the belt lays against the drum. Let me know how it goes. Regards Joe Gagnon.
