DE22CT Maytag Dryer - Instructions

Removed front of dryer, front drum support and drum. Complete disassembly of the motor and blower duct assembly. Removed duct cover and blower fan. Mounted new fan and spring clamp. Repaced cover and remounted motor and duct. Removal of the snap ring, drum rollers and roller shafts. Replaced shafts, thrust and allowance washers, rollers and snap ring. Installed drum and belt, front drum support and front cover. Works great!

Replaced the belt by following the included directions, quite easy, could've done it without, but a no-brainer.

I removed tumbler drum & inspected the rollers, replaced rollers as they were over 20 years old. Inspected the blower fan and found that the fan would sin on the motor shaft replaced the squirl cage blower fan ; tested it and it ran like anew drier. Steve B.

Took off front. Took out drum. Turned little wheels the drum rests on and they were really squeaky. Needed snap ring pliers to remove them. Turned out that there were metal washers on the rear side that had both bent. The repair wheels I bought here came with 2 fiber washers instead. That was all that was wrong. Then I put the belt on wrong by running it in the little grove on the drum instead of where the belt mark was. It didnt turn well with a full load so used half load, not understanding why it would not turn (due to lose belt). Wife put in full load, burned up belt. Belt easily changed as well, and it runs great now.

I had already replaced the tumbler roller and st ha the same rumbling noise but quieter , so I inspected the blower wheel and it would spin on thr moter shaft , removed blower wheel and found that the moter shaft was D shaped but th4e bore of the wheel was round and the wheel was sloppy on the shaft. cleaned the shaft & install4ed a new blowe wheel , problem solved , runs ;like a new Drier !

Cleaned and greased rear drum support rollers.Fine emory cloth on roller shafts. Replaced front support glide strips. Replaced blower, retaining ring and clamp.

I used the Maytag website and their videos to troubleshoot. I learned how to access the blower wheel and found it was worn. This made it wobble on the shaft and grind in it's enclosure. I got on parts direct and ordered the new blower wheel. It is now installed and working great. No abnormal noise.

watched the u-tube video provided by you Part Select, very easy to follow, removed the thermostat and heating element as instructed, determined it was the thermostat and replaced it. The dryer works great. We saved alot of money thanks to Part Select.

removed the old filter and put the new one in its place. Only difference was part was white plastic and old part was gray plastic.

Researched the common problem with "dryer not turning on", and tested the top three problems. Removed the dryer front casing and door, unbolted front dryer plate. Used a volt meter on two of the temp gauges, which were fine. Removed the upper back plate of the dryer to the wiring for the knobs and buttons. Used the volt meter on the dryer start button, which was also fine. Went back around to the front and removed the door switch. Tested it with the volt meter and bingo. Replaced that part, dryer works like normal.

The blower fan was bad. To replace simply remove front cover,by removing two screws on the lower lip of front cover.disconnect wires from door switch. Then remove cover that encloses the fan. remove front snap ring and hose clamp on fan shaft.

The video that this website provided made the replacement of the door latch a breeze. Thank you for the instruction. Mary.

first thing i did was look at the repair video 4 times. after that the replacement on of the guides were simple. thank you for suppling the video.

Followed your video for blower wheel and belt. It was much easier than I thought it would be. I'll visit this site before doing any other repairs!

I pulled the dryer out so I could get to the back of it. I removed the cover at the lower right side on the back to access the pulley and idler. I removed the front of the dryer by taking out the two screws at the bottom and pulling out the bottom until the top clips popped out. There were two wires for the door safety switch, I marked on the inside by the switch with a sharpee which color went on each side. Removed wires. Removed four screws to take off the bracket that holds the tumbler in place, that's to be able to put on the new belt. On my machine there is a groove in the tumbler that the belt should not go into, if it does it will make the belt appear too big and the belt will rub on things it shouldn't. Put the belt in place around the tumbler, then reinstall the bracket that supports the front of the tumbler, it's a good idea to rotate the tumbler to make sure it turns like it should. With the smooth side of the belt against the tumbler and the belt riding about an inch or so toward the front of the machine from the groove wrap the belt around the pulleys. The last two points seemed wrong by instinct, putting the smooth side of the belt against the tumbler and not putting the belt in the groove, but that's what worked for my dryer. Re-attach the door safety switch wires, then put the front back on. I did mine two weeks ago so I might have forgot a few minor points.
