WEQ332HS0 Westinghouse Dryer - Instructions

1. watched PartSelect video 2. adjust for the fact this was a dryer over top a washer. 3. we were able to remove the very top plate of the dryer and not have to remove the drum to get to the Thermal Limiter. 4. i used a drill driver with a square bit to speed up getting out screws. 5. It requires a ladder to be able to work from the top and 6. some pretty good manual dexterity to get the limiter out without removing drum. 7. the replacement seems to have improved the drying function!

Unplug dryer from outlet.I removed the screws from the back panel behind the controls. The switch has 2 wires that slip on the switch terminals. I slipped them off, gently lifted the catch located on the switch and rotated switch which is just held in place by two slots. It fell off in my hand when slots were aligned. Copied part number, ordered part, replaced on dryer. Works like a charm. Part arrived in 2 days. Thanks.

I watched the videos on this excellent website first. Then the repair was a breeze.

installed the back bearing with the ball bearing and dropped in the rear drum bearing and tried to install the drum to the rear drum bearing, but we could not find the screw holes to attach the drum, we tried and tried and finally I came up with the idea to take the drum out and screw the drum bearing while we had it ouside and that worked out beautifu lyl and all we had to do was reinstall the drum and all we had to do was lift it up just a little and drop it into the retainer rear retainer' and then all we had to do was install the tension roller which we had a little trouble but we finally figured it out and now it works just fine, it would a lot if there was a diasgram included on how to re-install the tensioner

it was so easy using the video that you emailed me. I want to rebuild my whole drier now .

My husband died last year and I have learned to use the internet to fix a lot of things. I was so pleased to find your video instructions which gave me the confidence to repair my dryer, myself, for less than $40. Just like instructed I disconnected and pulled out my dryer from the wall. Pried off the top by using a small pry tool near the clips. As my dryer was close to a shelf that would support the raised lid I did not have to disconnect the ground wire on the back. I then pried off the wire connectors from the switch. Unfortunately one of them broke off the end of the wire so I had to replace with a new connector which I purchased from a local hardware store. (strip about a 1/2 of coating off the wire insert in the new connector and attach by squeezing with a pliers) Once that was done I put the switch in place by lining up the notches and twisting into position. I slid on the connectors. Correctly lined up the knob and pushed it in place. Then I reconnected the dryer to the outlet, gave it a turn and it started. Happy dance time! To be completely honest a helpful tip for retrieving a connector that falls down the side of the drum--chewing gum on the end of a 3 ft wooden dowel. Thanks again, you can be sure in the future I will be checking out your company when need arises.

This video by Steve Ash was spot on . In our case the white rear support bearing had melted and reformed around the shaft, preventing us from being able to pop the drum in the way described in the video. We used pliers to unscrew the screws on the rear clip from the back of the dryer. The rest of it worked exactly as described in the video. Our model was White-Westinghouse DE600ADD1, which is not a model listed on the PartsSelect website. However the part worked very well. The dryer runs really quite now.

You tube has quite a few videos that walk you right through the entire process. Due to the age of my dryer I replaced the belt and the Rear Drum Bearing kit while I had it apart. There were videos for all of it. Easy fix.

The belt arrived in 2 days. I cleaned the inside and it took no time to replace the belt. All I did is removed the front.The video was very helpful.Your magnet is on my refrigerator for future orders. Thanks.....Andy
