Eliminate loud thumping, squeaking, grinding, or belt-slipping noises with this Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dryer Total Repair Kit. This comprehensive overhaul package (Part # 4392067, which replaces older configurations like 4392067VP, 587637, and AH373088) is the ultimate all-in-one remedy for an aging or loud dryer.

Instead of diagnosing and swapping out individual failing components one by one, this factory-certified master kit provides every single standard wearable mechanical part that supports and spins your dryer drum. Over years of handling intense heat and heavy, wet laundry, the internal rubber compounds and self-lubricating bearings inside your chassis naturally break down. Overhauling the entire drive and support structure at the same time entirely resets your machine’s operational lifespan, saving you from repetitive, time-consuming teardowns.

Kit Contents & Components:

Because these interconnected moving components wear at an identical rate, it is highly recommended to install all of them during your cabinet teardown:

• (4) Heavy-Duty Drum Support Rollers (WPW10314173): Sintered-metal core wheels wrapped in an upgraded rubber compound to support the weight of the drum and eliminate heavy rumbling.

• (1) Spring-Loaded Idler Pulley Wheel Assembly (WP691366): The tensioner wheel that maintains precise mechanical pressure on the drive belt to keep it from slipping.

• (1) Premium EPDM Rubber Drive Belt (WP341241): A heavy-duty, multi-ribbed belt designed to wrap around the drum perimeter and drive motor shaft without stretching or snapping.

• (9) Triangular Snap Tri-Rings & (1) Retaining Washer: Fresh factory structural hardware to secure the new rollers and pulleys tightly to their stationary axle shafts.

Quick Info:

• Compatibility: Precision engineered for standard 27-inch wide Whirlpool, Kenmore (110-Series), Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, KitchenAid, Admiral, and Crosley gas and electric dryers manufactured from 1965 to present.

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves high-pitched squeaking or screeching, rhythmic thumping, loud metallic grinding, a motor that hums but won’t spin, or a dryer that cuts out mid-cycle due to bearing friction.

• Difficulty: Intermediate. A highly rewarding 45-to-60-minute DIY overhaul requiring you to lift the top panel and slide the drum out of the cabinet frame.

Critical Maintenance Warning: Never apply grease, WD-40, oil, or any liquid lubricant to the new support roller shafts or the idler pulley axle. These factory components are engineered with advanced, porous self-lubricating metal bushings designed to run completely bone-dry. Keep everything clean and dry!

Step-by-Step Replacement Guidelines:

1. Safety Power Isolation: You must completely unplug the dryer’s heavy 240V power cord or turn off the main dual-pole house circuit breaker to eliminate all high-voltage shock hazards before lifting the lid.

2. Remove the Front Bulkhead: Use a putty knife to pop the hidden front spring clips under the top lid and swing it up. Unplug the door safety switch wire harness, unthread the upper cabinet wall screws, and lift the main front door panel bulkhead off its bottom tracks.

3. Extract the Drum: Reach under the drum floor into the lower right corner, push the old idler arm to slide the belt off the motor shaft, and use the long belt like a handle sling to lift the entire cylinder drum straight out of the cabinet.

4. Clean the Cabin: With the interior empty, take 10 minutes to vacuum out all the compressed lint dust built up around the motor and base. Heavy lint restriction poses a serious household fire hazard and causes elements to burn out prematurely.

5. Rebuild the System: Use a flat blade screwdriver to pop off the old plastic tri-rings, slide the old rollers off their shafts, wipe the bare metal posts clean with a dry cloth, and install the fresh wheels and new tri-rings. Swap out the idler pulley on the floor, re-seat the drum barrel, and thread the new belt (ribbed side down against the metal) tightly around the motor pulley.

Are you overhauling your dryer today because your original belt snapped completely in half, or has the machine developed a loud, continuous squeaking or thumping sound?
