Whirlpool Dryer Drum Light Replacement

简介

Use this guide to replace the LED drum light module on your Whirlpool Dryer.

The drum light lights the inside of your dryer's drum. When it fails, it is inconvenient to check the clothes in the dryer.

This guide will work for most Whirlpool dryers. This guide is written with a model WED87HED dryer. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
