CYG3005AWW Magic Chef Dryer - Instructions

I followed the instructions on the video fom the website they were clear and precise and I had no idea how easy it would be, thank you... you saved me some $$$ ! It took me close to 2 hours to do the job but it was because I cleaned the dryer and vaccuumed the lint/dust buildup which took some time.

Took the dryer apart through online instruction. Replaced idler lever and belt.

Opened the bottom panel w/ 1/4 nut driver to access the flame sensor and easy fix.

I used a putty knife to depress the top locks which then i could set the top back.Remove the two screws on the inside of front top to release the front base.Lifted front cover up and out of the chassis. Then i removed the front blower cover which has 4 screws holding it and gently pulled out. I then reached into the back and released the idler lever so i could remove the belt from the motor.I then pulled lightly on the drum and removed it also. At this point i remove the idler lever and reinstalled the components. I find the maytag machines are very easy to work on.Dryer works like new. Parts Select is a great place to get the needed parts,very fast turn around time on the parts and also great prices.

Just like in the video. A very simple repair

removed bottom kick plate,then door and front drum seal support so i could lift top cover out of the way.took off belt and removed drum to get at support rollers.

I followed the video that you had posted. I don't think I could have done it without the video being posted. Thank you very much.

took off the front panal then took off the bulk head got the drum out and the changed the idler lever put drum back in put on new belt put everthing back together and was done that easy dont forget to un plug the cord

I replaced the lint filter

First thing I had to do was get the dryer into the garage, I needed some room to work. Then I removed the top and let it rest on the side so I didn't have to disconnect any wiring. Then I removed the door switch. Then I removed the front of the dryer. The belt came off easily by just wiggling it towards the back of the drum, then the drum came right out, towards the front. I used the snap ring pliers to remove the drum rollers and installed the new ones. I used regular pliers to remove the tensioner spring and and wrench and socket ratchet to remove the tensioner. Getting the spring on the new tensioner was the hardest part. I replaced the drum with the belt already around it then laid down to route it around the tensioner. You can rotate the drum by hand to make sure any strange noises are gone. If so simply replace everything after a good lint cleaning session, lint can cause fire, and you're good to go. Really easy stuff.

removed old, installed new--easy

lifted top, removed front panel with nut driver, removed inner panel, repaired burned wires in old cycling timer ,removed remainder of the wires , took off two screws that held old timer in place, removed oldtimer , installed new, and reversed the above mentioned process.

I consulted the instructional video before starting to take the dryer apart. My model is older than the one used in the video but it was still very helpful. Putting the belt on was fairly easy; however, I didn't know I also needed a rear drum wheel as well so while the belt is installed, the dryer still doesn't tumble when anything is in it. Off balance without 2nd rear drum wheel.

I opened the package that arrived and inserted the new lint filter into the place where the old one was. Then I threw the old lint filter away

The part came in very quickly. If you know how to remove the front panel, it is very easy to repair. The hard part is to diagnose the problem. The first thing to check is the igniter. If it comes on then you look for faulty limit switches. If you have lots of training in electronics and appliance repair this is very easy, if you do not I would not try this. I have 40 years in the repair business, It still took me 1hr. to find the problem. the switch was intermitted, one time the dryer would work the next time it would not. Good luck and happy repairs.
