YGEW9868KL1 Whirlpool Dryer - Instructions

Tool of the back & cross brackets. I did not have to mass with electric panel. I did not have to remove the drum.

Very easy replacing these 2 parts. Simply unscrew the 2 screws under the lint trap on top and pry open the front top of the dryer (it'll open like a hood on a car). Then just unscrew the 2 screw holding the switch on by opening the dryer door and unscrewing on the switch- unplug the old switch. Installation reverse of removal! For the light, just 1 screw takes the pate off and screw the light in like a night light bulb-- EASY!

Just took the old one out and slipped the new one in! That's it! That easy. Thank you!

Just like the video showed, amazingly simple.

I highly recommend the videos on this site for repair information. It wasn't exact for the age/model of my dryer but very close. Remove the top panel and then the control panel. Remove the lower front panel and finally the door and main front panel. Unloop the belt from the motor and remove the drum. I found one of the drum rollers was bad, which was causing my problem, but I replace all 4 rollers, the belt, and the idler wheel. Sounds like it did when it was new! Find the video for your model and watch it!!

It was all put together... I just switched them!

Determine the problem, Lift top of machine, disconnect wires to door sw. Bypass the sw, and short the circuit, with piece of wire, push start, the machine worked..problem solved. Replace sw by removing 2screws ,attach wire connectors. Done job.

I watched you repair video and did as instructed. I used putty knife to pry open clips holding top down. Then a philips head screw driver to unscrew old switch and insrall new switch. Also putty knife helped to pry old wire harness apart.

this belt is too thin for the capacity of this dryer.I had only removed the front panel,replaced the belt and immediately the dryer start.

watched the video on part select.com was a very easy job whenever you had someone showing you what needed to be done,thanks for the help and great customer service.

Just follow the video by Parts Select., The repair is really easy.

Power off by removing plug from wall outlet. Remove two Phillips screws under lint screen filter door. (careful you don't drop them down the filter housing) Pry upper lid loose at both front corners and elevate and retain the lid vertically. Separate old 3 wire switch connector splice halves at upper right housing corner. Remove two Phillips screws at upper right corner of outer front doorway which hold switch. Install new switch with those two screws. Re-connect the connector splice halves; they are keyed for one direction. Close down lid. Plug in power cord.

Per video demonstration offered in web. Very simple. Thanks for your help.

Video showed 3 ways to remove the top section to access the switch. None of which worked on my unit. Instead there were 4 screws on the rear section of the control panel that had to be removed and then lift it past the top of unit to slide forward to remove top to access the switch after that all was the same as video.

Removed power (un plugged), removed two screws on back top of cover allow top to lift up on installed holders., used screw driver at right front and left front to push in the locks on the plastic holders and lifted top and held up with board. Removed two screws holding the switch and disconnect it from the connector and installed the new switch, and connected to connector back up, removed board, lowered top aligned with the two alignment clips and pressed down to lock in place. Replaced the two screw removed from back, plugged back in the power and test the repair.
