DE26CA Maytag Dryer - Instructions

The online video was the extremely helpful in aiding me in the repair. Thank you so much for posting it. Couldn't have done it without it.

Installing the Front Glide Kits was straight forward if you watch the video. The guides resolved a part of my problem, but I discovered the Blower Wheel was cracked and out of round. replaced it and poof its fixed!

Simply dropped it in. I have never had a simpler installation! Service was a+!

Followed the guidance on video.

I pried out the old one slightly and grabbed it with pliers. Quite possibly the metal catch dropped into the door section, but no problem. I pushed the new one into place with the side of the pliers. Probably 3 minutes time.

I purchased the drum belt locally then searched the internet for an instructional video and found it on your website. Once I got into the dryer which is 24 years old, I discovered many other parts that needed to be replaced. So at that time I ordered all other items from PartsSelect.com. Before each repair, I started with the instructional video. First repair was the front glide kit, followed by the front and rear drum felt seals. Next, I replaced the drum support rollers and the idler pulley wheel. Last, I replaced the blower seal then put it all back together and installed the drum belt last. Also, while everything is apart it’s a good time to vacuum up all the lent in the dryer. I placed the dryer back into the laundry room and immediately started using it. We’ve probably already run 20 or more loads through the dryer and its working great. I’m hoping to get many more years of service out of it. Thanks Parts Select….I could not have wished for a better repair experience. You now have a loyal customer.

found info describing the nocking noise found parts to fix it watched video on how to do the repair The step by step instructions made the job so easy We saved over 150.00 in doing the job ourselves. thank you I am amazed at how simple this turned ou to be.

Following video instructions, replaced the belt. Did it once before so this time it was easier. Two years ago I replaced the plastic fan as it was spinning on moter shaft making a loud noise. (The moulded plastic fan has a flat which slides on the motor shaft. The motor start up torque over time (15 + years)stripped the flat allowing the fan to spin on assembly.) The mistake I made was not replacing the belt when I had the machine apart to replace the fan.

Replaced the Blower Wheel, the Idler Pulley Wheel, the belt and blower seal. Cleaned inside of the unit while I had it apart. Runs very quite. Very easy to do repairs.

Opened box with knife and removed filter from sealed package. Inserted filter into filter slot just inside the dryer door. I'm very pleased this filter fits so precisely because the dryer is so old.

son in law..Video was great help...

I followed the instructions

Someone thought it was rollers. It was not. Maybe motor. Will check out further. Thanks for good service, Cynthia

I removed the front and the bulkheads as well as the drum. I replaced both wheels, the belt and the front and rear seals. The seals were definately the hardest part. I also cleaned the dust and lint out from inside the dyer and cleaned the outside, which is why it took me as long as it did. I also replaced the duct to the outside. It works as good as new.

In addition to removing front of dryer, had to ultimately remove the access plate at rear of machine to thread the belt. Found aligning the belt to be a bit of a chore as the belt wanted to ride in the groove on the drum which didn't align with the motor pulley. Didn't have the correct wrench for the four sheet metal screws that held the rear plate and had to use pliers. Patience finally paid off and the machine is back in action.
