WED7500VW0 Whirlpool Dryer - Instructions

This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.

uncrewed the back plate released the wire plug,replace new element , place plate back and tested the dryer . worked fine

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

First, I unplugged the dryer. The Power button itself can be removed by grasping it in your fingers and pulling strait forward. There is also a rubber gasket between the button and switch, so hang onto that. To access the area behind the power button I needed to remove the top of the dryer. It is held in place by two torx screws on either side at the back. Luckily I have a stubby screwdriver with interchangeable heads which includes two torx drivers. I used the T15 size and it worked, although I couldn't say if that is the exact size of the screw head. After removing the dryer top, I could see that behind the three push buttons (Power, Temperature, Start) are the respective Switches. Checking the schematic on Parts Select, I ordered the Power Switch. When I got it, I swapped out the old for the new one. There are four blade type connections which I did one at a time so as to get it hooked up the right way. Then guide the switch into the hole on the front panel and push the gasket and button onto it from the front. Replace the top temporarily and plug the cord back in to test it. It works! Then I replaced the torx screws to tighten down the top. The 'bit of difficulty' I had was in accessing the screws at the back as this is a compact, stackable washer and dryer which is located in a closet.

Popped button off Removed old installed new

remove heater element door, remove access door to fan motor, remove top panel, remove 8 screws (T-20 driver)securing the back panel, pull the drum away from the front access seal together with the rear panel. from the top loop the new belt around the drum and fit the drum back over the front seal, secure the rear panel with the 8 screws. slide the belt down the drum OD to the location where the belt should ride. the difficult part is to stretch the new belt to fit it over the motor's drive pulley. for that I used a 20" long 1/2" ID electrical conduit; introduced trough the belt and stick on the motor's pulley then apply force to the belt to push toward the motor rotating the conduit in the same time; moving and stretching the belt toward the motor's pulley until it will snap in place, remove the conduit, then verify if the belt will ride on location by rotating the drum; after that, close the access doors and mount the top panel back to place. under power verify if it working right.

removed old switch plugged in new one, seems to work fine. It was a little hard to get at but not too bad.

Removed the top of the dryer, that took some time to find the right screws to unscrew, but once we found them,we unplugged the switch and installed the new one Kept out fingers crossed that this would fix the problem..and it did. Everything is back to normal and I have some money in my pocket too boot. The diagrams of the parts to order were clear, it was a no brainer.
