DE24CS Maytag Dryer - Instructions

I watched the straight forward videos, which were very helpful for taking apart the dryer, removing the worn or damaged parts and then re-assembling the unit. Any one with good mechanical aptitude can make these repairs fairly easily. Have a shop vac with soft brush attachment handy to completely clean all the lint & debris on the motor, belt rollers and combustion chamber. I replaced the rear felt seal which had fallen apart after many years of use. The locating flat on my old blower wheel was completely worn away and not allowing the blower wheel to work properly. The new parts arrived 2 days after I placed my order. My Maytag Gas Dryer is working like new and dries all our clothes quickly. I'm sure I'll be saving a lot of energy that was being wasted and all the time it was taking to dry the clothes. You will be my source for any appliance parts that I may need in the future.

First got on line at partselect and watched a video on belt replacement. after getting the belt, removing the screws on the front, then removing the tub, it was easy, put the new belt on making sure its around the pulleys the video really helped with that, replaced the front with the screws, plugged it in, turned it on, it runs like a new dryer. Thanks Partselect. Johnny

removed the dryer front then removed the drum. replaced the drum roller shafts and nuts. then reassembled the dryer. Note: only one shaft loose but replaced both while dryer dismantled.

What sounded like a drum roller problem, actually turned out to be a blower fan problem. Replacing the plastic blower fan which is mounted to the motor shaft is simple easily accessible from the front of the machine.

I really didn't have a repair. I had to replace a lint filter on an old Maytag dryer. The response from PartSelect was so fast! I received my lint screen in two days of ordering. I highly recommend using this site!

I was VERY please that the new roller came so fast(next day). I followed the excellent instructions on the video. I found the reason for the failure of the roller was the original roller had a metal wavy washer behind the roller and it broke apart and was ground up on the shaft which caused it to seize up. The new roller kit came with fiber washers. The video made this a very positive repair experience.

pulled front of dryer off pulled tumbler out and installed belt on tumbler drive pully very easy

I used the instructions on the video supplies by Part Select. Easy as pie. What a great idea to provide the video.

Watch the vid for the instructions however don't sweat trying to put on the belt from just the front. Save yourself some pain and open up the access panel in the back and slip the belt into place. I replaced the rollers, idler and felt from the from front. I used Gorilla glue because my model dryer did not have the tabs to hold the felt down. I used about 10 or so small clamps to hold the felt down as the glue began to set. I then put the dryer drum on top of the bulkhead front thing and waited until the next day to complete the install to let the glue set up.

I was ready to find a repairman on line but I wanted to know what the problem might be so they wouldn't overcharge me. I looked up the symptoms (loud clunking, eventually not drying the clothes, but the drum would still spin) and suspected it was my blower wheel after a couple of minutes of research. Then I found a video on You Tube on how to replace it. It looked very simple, just remove a couple of screws in the front of the machine, a couple more screws inside, unclip a couple of wires, and pulled out the old blower wheel. Sure enough, the center hole, which should be shaped like a "D" was worn away and looked more like an "O." Then I found out the part was very cheap on PartSelect.com. I ordered it late on a Saturday afternoon and it was on my doorstep when I got home from work early Tuesday afternoon! (I didn't even request a "rush" delivery because I had dried my clothes outside by that time.) Put the new wheel on, hooked up the couple of wires and screwed in all the screws and VOILA! I fixed my own dryer for less than $25!! I'm very proud of myself and feel I should mention I'm a woman who just bought this house with the clunky dryer from another woman who never bothered to have it fixed. The next day I tackled a dishwasher repair and succeeded. Next, I hope to figure out the squeaky air conditioning unit!

Too simple to describe.

Followed instructions in video. Removed 2 screws in front of dryer and removed front. Removed 4 screws holding the housing and removed. Removed drum. Replaced belt and reversed order to complete repair. Absolutely fool proof video took me through every step of the process. I would recommend anyone looking to repair an appliance, to stop here. Hats off to you.

Don't attempt to start by lifting the top of the dryer. It must come apart from the front first. After acquiring acquisition of the top hold down brackets (Grey metal strips), you may lift the top.The dryer required complete disassembly as the drum rollers were in the lower (inside) rear of the dryer. Lots of sharp edges and corners. So be careful. But it's a job that can be done by a novice and I saved myself $500 by not buying a new machine.

Pulled two screws out of bottom of front panel,remove. Remove dryer drum front panel. Remove front panel of blower, remove clip,wheel. Replace with new one, reassemble in reverse. And were done.

The Parts Select instruction as to how to put the new belt in is a bit incomplete. All handy homeowners can ultimately figure out how to install the belt. The Parts Select video does not show a very important part of the project and that is-how one side of the belt from one side of the drum goes into the MOTOR PULLEY and which side of the belt goes into the IDLER PULLEY. A homeowner with no mechanical common sense would be frustrated because of 2 problems: 1) The belt would not be tight when the incorrect side is installed. 2) the belt would always be falling into the drum groove (which it should not).
