DE106 Maytag Dryer - Instructions

follow the installation instruction, and 38yr. of pratice also helps.

Followed the video but had difficulties latching the rubber belt on to the small rollers. Video should've added 2nd option that to use the rear of the dryer to connect the belt. Just have to have a strong grip.

I removed two screws from the bottom panel,pulled bottom out, and lifted front panel off. Took pliers to back of the old latch to compress the expansion tabs, squeezed and removed. Pushed new one in untill it went through metal backing plate and snapped in place. Replaced the cover and screws. Opened door and took out two screws on the edge and one for the knob. Spread out door halves,used pliers to work out other latch part. Pressed in new part and reassembled. Works great for another twenty years!

After watching the video to repair the glides my son and I began the process. After making the repairs and putting the dryer back together the drum would not turn. I told my son it had to be a bad belt He claimed it was not. After taking the dryer drum off we found the belt to be very brittle and worn. After calling around a shop that sold the part was found. Replacement was made and the dryer now runs like brand new. Thanks.

I repaired my dryer with the help of the instructional video provided by Partselect.com. Great parts and resources. Highly recommend to anyone looking to save on repairs because I'm not mechanically inclined and it was an overall easy repair.

Removed front of dryer. Took front drum guide off. And removed drum. Found the blower fan was spinning on the motor shaft and not fixed to it. So I replaced the fan and belt and cleaned out the insides. Maytag gave instructions on the website and the belt threading diagram was included with the belt. I also freed up one of the drum support rollers it was binding. Easy fix for anyone that can work with tools.

Followed instructions on the you tube video included in the part selection of the PartSelect part ordering webpage. The video described replacing the drum roller and shaft, as well the dryer cabinet / drum belt / etc. removal to access the broken parts on my exact dryer. Individual parts were less expensive on other websites, and I could find the you tube independently, however, the instructions included from PartSelect, quick delivery and professional service from Part Select were worth the difference ! My first experience with PartSelect, but not my last.

Entered Model # and problem into search engine on internet.Luckily i found your site.I entered my model#,brand,etc and your site was great with common causes. I watched repair video on your site.Video was excellent.I took off the front panel and one other panel,pulled out the drum and inspected the rollers.I also inspected the belt.Belt and rollers were fine. Noice was coming from blower motor area.I removed the blower motor cover and found that the blower wheel (squirrel cage) was hitting against the blower motor cover.Blower wheel was worn where it slides onto the blower motor shaft.Blower wheel should be D shaped and tight fit on shaft when new.Ordered part.Was able to track delivery and when it was arriving at my house.Installation went great. Problem Solved.I will definitely keep PartSelect on my favoites e-mail sites. I would recommend them to any friends.Excellent service from beginning to end. Thanks Again !!!!!

I followed video, took out two screws from bottem front of dryer. removed door set a side, used a nut driver to remove the 4 nuts holding the front drum panel, I used a 1/8 drill to remove 4 pop-rivets holding what use to be front glides,I put the new glides in cork parts first then the plastic parts, than used my poprivet gun to but in the new rivets. I put it all back together and now no more holes in my underwear!!!

First I took the front of the dryer off and removed the drum (of course, after disconnecting the power supply) Removed the belt and then the roller itself. I had to open a removable port on the back side to reinstall the belt but that was also very easy. The videos made it all seem soooo simple. Thank you.

IT WAS SO SIMPLE!!! All I did was take the new part out of the package and, take the old lent filter out of the dryer and replaced it with the new one. Simple as that. I thought is wasn't going to fit at first but it went right in. I am so thankful to PartSelect for supplying me with this part because I didn't where I was going to get this part from for my old dependable dryer and I really did new a lint filter!! Thanks again. I feel like I have a new dryer again! (smile) I have definitely referred this site to my family and friends!!!

I originally diagnosed as tension roller but found it to be a drum roller. Plastic had separated from the Babbitt bearing. So replaced both drum rollers and returned the tension roller. Only problem was the video was not for Maytag Neptune but a more generic dryer and I spent an extra hour try to reattach the drum belt. The video was the one that came with the email notification of part being shipped. Hook up to motor drive is backward from what the Neptune is. Eventually went looking for another video on my own and discovered the difference.

I viewed the roller replacement instruction video on the website which was very helpful since I had never replaced drum rollers. A leisurely pace of one hour to replace the two rollers, half of which was spent vacuuming the interior. Removed the front panel without tipping the dryer. Had to disconnect a ground wire to remove one bracket but otherwise only had to remove screws, slip rings and washers. No belt removal. Drum was pulled away from rollers but remained in cavity Reassembled without any problem. Ran the dryer - much quieter and no longer had the whirring noise.

Removed back cover of entire dryer.The thermostat was accessible from that point(Just as diagram showed), removed two wires from thermostat, removed thermostat & replaced with new thermostat & plugged 2 wires back in just as instructions indicated. Very simple,15 minute job. I will certainly use again for any appliance repairs.

I followed the directions in the package and the wonderful video tutorial that part select had posted for my appliance. My dryer was about 13 years old and had never been repaired. I opted to replace all the wheels (2 drum and one pulley for my machine) as well as the belt, and while the machine is taken apart, why not vacuum the interior. It went back together nicely. Parts cost: just under $100. Labor saved: about $175.
