CAN THE IDLER PULLEY BE REPLACED BY ACCESS FROM REAR PANEL INSTEAD OF REMOVING THE DRUM?
For model number YWED9050XW1
Hi Ken,
Thank you for your question. The idler pulley can be accessed from the rear of the dryer. Here is some information that a customer posted that should help with your repair. Before starting this repair unplug the dryer from the electrical outlet and remove the hose from the back of the dryer. Once the hose has been removed, remove the rear panel and set it aside. Then disengage the tension spring on the idler wheel arm and remove the idler pulley. Then install the new idler pulley. Before reinstalling the rear panel, take this time to vacuum any dust you see from the inside of the dryer. Then reinstall the rear cover and hose and plug the dryer back in. We hope this helps!

First I unplugged the dryer, then removed the back panel, this exposed most all of the wiring and I could see the heater coils. Not knowing what the problem was I started looking at the coils and could not see any broken parts. So then checked the thermal fuse for continuity I removed the two wires from it with a small pair of

Read moreneedle nose pliers, it was held in place by two screws, once they were removed the fuse came out easily, I checked continuity with a volt meter placing the meter on X1 Ohms and could not get a reading. I replaced with a new one and put it all back together the way I took it apart. Then I plugged it in and it worked first time, I now have warm dry clothes.
Cleaning the lint out of the whole machine took quite a bit of time--it was everywhere. Underneath the lint trap was a collection that ultimately ruined the thermal fuse where it restricted the air flow considerably.
Ascertaining the problem was the most time consuming part.

Received your parts, Popped them both right into place, Even though only one side needed to be replaced, I wanted them to match up. It was amazing how easy this was. My husband was quite impressed I had ordered these rather then look for either a new or used dryer from some other source.
