Replaced the drive belt (after some searching for a video on how to do it). The new belt is 8n place, however comparing what i see to what is in the service manual (page 12, motor test) it seems like my belt is sitting in the wrong position. The belt is sitting directly on the arm where the spring connects. I did not replace the idler pulley, but am willing to do that if needed. I wish i could upload an image to help the explanation.

For model number WED8500BW0
Hello William, thank you for your question. We recommend testing the Door Switch PS11753512 or the Door Catch PS11748369. If the catch is broken and the door will not stay shut, the dryer may not turn on. The other part to check is the Disposable Thermal Fuse - Two Terminal PS11741444. Good luck with the repair.

The start button feels like nothing is there when you push it. Everything else works fine except the start button is dead. I took the panel apart and found out the the gray case that holds in the circuit board, the mechanism attached to it was broken off where the start button is. I supper glued it back and it work for four months before it did it again. I’ve fixed it again but can I get the gray plastic casing that holds the circuit board

Dryer door catch broken
After a few years of slamming the dryer door (at least that is what my husband says), the catch on the dryer door broke. Using pliers (I used needle nose) squeeze the outer edges of the catch together (vertically). With it compressed, it should slide out easily. My husband had jacked with ours prior to the repair, so the broken piece i

n the door was actually sideways and would not fit through the hole. Using a screwdriver, I pushed that piece into the door (it lives in the door somewhere now). I was then able to slide out the rest of the old catch. Compress the new catch and insert it into the hole in the door. Push it in until it clicks into place. DONE! Happy Drying!

very loud squeeling sound
The issue was the idler pulley. First I began opening up the front panel based on a youtube video but soon realized the model was slightly different and required a lot more items to remove. I saw the pulley in the back with nothing in the way so I put the front panel crap back on and removed the rear panel. There it was, very simple to re

move and replace. I'm not looking forward to drum rollers though. Hopefully they're aren't as difficult as they appear.
