Service notes for the WED5220R
Squeals and grinding that come from the drum are traced to the rollers and idler pulley, and a technician takes the front panel off for those checks. No heat is traced to the heating element and thermal fuse, which a meter reads with the power off. Clothes that stay damp after a full run are reviewed against the moisture sensors, the lint filter and the vent path. A drum that will not turn is a belt or motor check. Before any inside work, unplug the dryer, clear the lint screen and confirm the door latch closes fully. The estimated annual energy figure is a useful baseline when comparing a service visit against normal run times.
