WED6600VW0 Whirlpool Dryer - Instructions

Followed the instructions on the video

Removed top of dryer and front panel per instructions and removed belt and drum. After removing what was left of the old rear drum seal I scraped off and sanded the old adhesive off. Reapplied new adhesive and installed new seal after about 3 to 5 minutes (let adhesive get tacky) I then used about a dozen spring clothes pins to hold seal in place while adhesive set up. Reinstalled drum,belt,front panel and top and job was complete. Time included letting adhesive set up. Easy and inexpensive, thank you parts select.

Had to order idler lever and wheel as the one in the kit would not work. Best to buy part specific for your dryer. Repair was easy, just watch repair video. Sounds like new dryer again

Popped the old catch out (but was not as easy to get out as described) but did pop back in very easily! The video was a great help!

I watched the video on PartSelect for this model. It was very easy to follow. The thermostat was mounted on a terminal lug which needed a little prying but not bad. Saved a least $140.

I checked the thermal fuse for continuity and had none.ordered part arrived next day. I took a picture with phone to idenify wires. installed in a short time.dryer works like new

Before calling a repairman, I researched the problem at partselect.com. I am so glad that I did. It saved be a lot of money. I was able to narrow down the cause of "No Heat", and ordered a new Heating Element for the dryer thru partselect.com. The part arrived very quickly, and I was able to install the new part by first watching the installation videos at partselect.com. This could not have gone smoother, and I could not be happier. And, "no", I do not work for partselect.com. :)

repair went just as describe in video.

popped old catch out put new catch in

I followed the instructions almost exactly as the video and it was very simple. A few of the parts were a little difficult to get off but with a little tugging they popped off. After the initial installation I ran the dryer and the items didn't dry, so I ran it again and got the same result. Fortunately, not know I had already attempted to dry twice, my wife put a load in and it worked perfectly and has been since. Not sure the reason but it took 3 attempts before the heating element worked and I have a 12.5 year old drying that works good as new!

I did as your online movie said to do it. It is a big help and you can see that the belt, rollers and idler pulley is not a difficult job and you save yourself at least $100. Toughest part of job is putting back the nylon triangle things that hold the rollers on without breaking them.That is why I used the needlenose pliers. The triangle things that hold on the rollers have little tabs on them and I just gently pulled them outward and the triangles went right on.That repair kit from Whirlpool(builder of my Kenmore dryer)was a real bargain and everything fit perfectly. Bottom line is don't be afraid to try this repair. You will most likely succede. Go out to diner with the money you saved. Good luck, Mike

I followed the instructions according to your repair video and they worked perfectly. Thank you for the video, very clear and helpful giving me the self confidence to do the job myself! Part delivery was three days and the money I saved by not calling a repair man is greatly appreciated. I am already recommending part select to others at work!

To make sure the dryer didn't die catastrophically, I checked to make sure the timer, the light, and the push to start start switch and the door switch were still working. After they were diagnosed to be working properly, I unplugged the dryer and pulled it back from the wall so I would have enough room to work behind it. The first item you will need is the wiring diagram. If you do not have one, one can be obtained online by using your dryer brand and model number. The next thing you will need is a quality digital multimeter that measures resistance or continuity. The last thing you will need is a 1/4" nutdriver. The first thing you will need to do is remove the exhaust tube from the back of the dryer. The second step is to remove a small black plate located near a green ground screw. The 3rd step is to remove the large black cover on the back of the dryer. Once this is removed, you will need to locate the thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is a small component that has 2 blue wires connected to it. It is located on the housing where the steam from your clothes leads to the exhaust port. The first thing you need to do is disconnect the 2 blue wires. Once the wires are disconnected, set the multimeter to resistance. The unit of resistance is ohms and the greek letter omega is used. The red lead of your multimeter goes one metal tabe of the fuse and the black lead goes on the other one. If the multimeter measures 0. L ohms, then the fuse is bad and needs to be replaced. If the multimeter reads 00.00 ohms then the fuse is good and you have another problem. I hope these instructions were useful.

Very easy, viewed the you-tube video and followed the instructions. Simply, unplug dryer, remove back panel (4 nuts), open back, remove one screw that holds board in place and slide left to remove. Take a picture of wire configuration to ensure you reconnect the same way. For the most part it is self explanatory for the exception of the hot wire and two ground wires and proceed to disconnect wires, install new board by reconnecting wires and proceed to replace back cover. Reconnect power source and get to drying.

As showed in the video, it was simple. Popped out the broken catch and popped in the new catch, less than a minute. Thanks for the video.
