WED6200SW1 Whirlpool Dryer - Instructions

You send me a link to a video It was excellent 15 minute job. now my dryer works like the first day I got it. all I can say is thank you excellent part excellent communication extremely fast shipping. what more can I say I am 100 percent satisfied.

As per video instruction that came with the email order conf

ordered part, recieved in a few days replaced in a few seconds. works perfect.

Took off the back panel removed old wires. Piggybacked new wire and put back together. The video was very helpful as far as where exactly to insert the new wire. Overall a very good experience. When it first happened my husband and I thought we would need a new dryer. We found your website and figured out what the problem most likely was. Ordeed the part it came within a few days. The money we saved not having to get a new dryer is great.

flipped THE BREAKER (very important!). Removed the cover on the bottom of the dryer (2 screws), made easier because dryer is stacked on top of washer. Removed the heater box (3 screws). Thermistor located on top of the blower housing (right side). removed old thermistor (2 screws) and unplugged the wires. Plugged the wires into new thermistor, installed the thermistor, replaced the heater box, then tested the dryer. It seemed to work fine. Replaced the cover. It has worked fine ever since.

After removing the bottom front panel using a putty knife to pry the upper left and right edges of the panel, I noticed that the long thin drum belt had broken. I went online to PartSelect, and using the Whirlpool model number, found the parts diagrams. Since the dryer is 20 years old, I decided to order the maintenance kit part# PS373087 which includes new idler wheels, retainer clips, and a tension pulley as well as the belt . I found a number of webpages that offer guidance in replacing the belt. Along with the instructions that came with the maintenance kit, I was able to do the repairs and have the dryer up and running in 30 minutes. Remember to remove the door springs before taking off the upper front panel. You only need to loosen the bottom screws on this panel. Leaving them in place helps to align and hold the panel when re-installing it.

Dryer started to turn but stopped putting out heat. I used a multimeter, and found both high limit switches to be good, and all other electrical components good. I removed the heating element and examined it to notice that the first coil was broken. I ordered the new part and replaced it, and all is well, better than before.

Removed the front lower skirt with two 1/4"hex screws. Vaccumed all inner parts exposed. Removed three 1/4" screws holding the blower housing.Memoved the bias thermister again two 1/4" screws. Make sure all inner exaust pipes and rear chimney gas or electric are clean and lint free. Re assemble and test the unit. Install the skirt and make sure the dryer is level Jack, Pa.

The first thing I did was unplug dryer from outlet. Watched installation video (very hepfull), the back was removed and dryer unpluged because I had replaced Thermal Cut-Off Kit, High Limit Thermostst and Cycling Thermostst ordered two days earlier. Forgetful as I am I did not check Heating Element with ohm meater, It was bad, ordered new one. It arrived as promised and was correct part. Removed two screws holding heating element in place. Removed four wires one at a time, placing them in correct place on new element. Replaced element and two screws. Job complete. Pluged it in and dryer is working like a new one.

Watched the video on your site. Removed the nine screws, snapped in the element and replaced the screws. The video is perfect.

Easy to install - 2 minutes

Computer said only two things were probably wrong, heating unit or fuse. My son unpluged the unit, opened the back looked around and saw the burned, broken wire in the heating unit. Orderd part, deliverd in a few days (Issac inteferred) put in the new heating unit, replaced the back, closed the unit, plugged the dryer into the eltricity, pressed the start button and there was heat. Very easy repair and a lot more reasonable then calling a service man.

I followed the video link on the website step by step - that was much more helpful than reading the included instructions which seemed a little obscure for this layman. I thought for sure i would have to drop another $500 on a new dryer after buying my last one less than FOUR years ago! Ended up spending $40 including shipping which was super fast.I am now a dedicated fan of partselect and I know exactly where to go when my next appliance breaks..which they seem to do way too quickly now days.

First I changed the thermal fuse. Still did not heat up. Then changed the heater element. That fixed the problem.
