3LE5710XMW0 Whirlpool Dryer - Instructions

Popped top up Took front panel screws out. Looked for other damage. Put belt around the tumbler and got it hooked up. Grew an extra set of hands and re assembled front the checkd seals to make sure they where on and put top back down... Process is a pain in the butt i reccomend socket set channel lock pliers and a cold beverage or two

Pushed the new catch in by hand. Working great.

Removed top and front panels, lifted front of drum, slid new belt on drum then thru tension and motor pulleys. reassembled.

I found on youtube that there are directions to repair. Dryer problems are usually one of three things, the door switch being one of them. i checked this last (should have been first). ordered the part( about 65% off sear's cost) and it came in one day! It went on really easy as long as you knew from repair video how to access inside. almost spent $400.00 on a new one.

quite simply I followed the path that was worn from years of use. it was very apparent the belt had broke. along with the belt there was a generic diagram for proper install. this was very helpful

Opened dryer top, disconnected door wireing, took off front panel, laid dryer on back, cleaned out lint and inside, put new belt on, and put parts back together. Dryer works fine now.

Remove Filter and (2) phillip screws. Use common screw driver to pry top from cabinet. Fold top back. disconnect door switch and removed (2) screws holding front of cabinet and lift frong slightly to remove from cabinet. Remove broken belt and discard. check rollers for freedom and placed drum on rollers. guided belt through idler and around motor pulley. lift front and placed on lower hooks. Lift drum and installed (2) screws that holds front of cabinet to main cabinet. connect door switch and check drum for freedom of turn. turn drum several times to get belt to center. Closed top and replaced (2) screws that hold filter door in place. Install filter and test run dryer. Completed job in about 38 minutes.

I followed the instructions supplied with the belt. I've changed the belt before so was familiar with the repair. The toe panel clips for my model had changed so what was supplied was different than the originals. Although they, too, came with instructions, they did not fit my appliance. They were inexpensive so I scrapped them and used some self-adhesive Velcro fasteners I had in a junk box.

belt # 346995. part was delivered quickly. Part fit perfect, no problem. there was a video on youtube how to replace it. It took about 25 minutes from start to finish to install. works like a new one. Thanks partselect.

Got the latch kit, found the correct one, popped it in...dryer works! Thanks....

follow the vidio. removed lint screen. removed screws securning the lint trap guide. used to disconect the two clips honding the top cover and lifted it up and secured it as not to drop down. removed two screws at top of front paned and removed it. took out drumb. took off the two rollers and remounted the drumb and belt. replaced front panel and two screws. lowered top panell and two screws. replaced lint trap. turned on to see is noise stoped and it had. done

Having read the instructions and watched the tape, I pried out the remaining catch with a flat screwdriver, read about what the color scheme on the parts wasbout and pushed in the correct part. Voila ! Done in probably two minutes.(By an 82 year old woman!)

The dryer belt was delivered promply, afterwards I lifted the top of the dryer and unscrewed the front panel, so it would lower. Then I watch a 5 minute video and it clearly demonstrated how to install the belt. This was my first time, so it took about 30 minutes.

Neither the washer or the dryer of the stacked unit would start. The website suggested that one of the causes could be the thermostat. I ordered a replacement that arrived quickly. Swapping the part only took minutes, and it started just fine.

PartSelect sent the exact right part, and very quickly! YouTube showed me how to install it. The only hard part was the bulkiness of the drum, which is why I marked "a bit difficult" for the repair.
