DE26CA Maytag Dryer - Instructions

followed directions from the video, helped very much

Throw the old one in the garbage. Slide the new one in. Hahahahahaaahahaa:)

My take apart, fix-it son, Had it all apart and fixed in under 2 hrs. Thanks for quick delivery.

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.

After we changed the heater assembly it works great.

I ordered a placement lint filter because the one had a hole in it allowing some of the lint to go thru it. This was the original one, so it has lasted a long time. I am hoping that the new filter will last now until the dryer gives out.The dryer was bought in 1996. Thanks Parts Select for the great service in sending me the new on and having one in stock. Thanks so much.

Was very simple

Replacing the old with new filter took about 5 seconds. The best part of this story was the shipping. I ordered the filter and to my surprise it arrived the next day from clear across the country. Best service from a supplier I've had in a long time. Will definitly call PartSelect the next time I need to repair something. Thank you.

I assumed that the rollers were making all the noise. They actually seemed pretty good but I replaced them anyway. The idler pulley was completely separated from it's bearing & melted. The plastic fan blade was completely stripped out so I had to replace it. This is very dangerous because it meant that no air was moving thru the dryer. There was a threaded pin holding the blade on the shaft that my local parts dealer insisted did not exist. I wound up grinding that off before installing the new blade. Quiet as a mouse now!

Easy! The video available at PartSelect website is very helpful. The replacement part, plastic wheel arrived within two days. the molded piece is not cutoff cleanly. so I, with a blade removed loose end.Everything went very well. The dryer is humming just like new. Thanks.

Saved a lot of time by just using needle nose pliers to break the receiving end of latch off of the front of the dryer. No big deal if parts fall Inside, won't hurt anything. Then just pressed new part into front of dryer. No need to remove front dryer panel.latch piece on door was not broken so I left it alone. Took all of about 2 minutes.

I only had to put in the new filter. I was extremely impressed with the exception service and the speed in which the part arrived.

I googled the model number and partselect.com was the first hit. I picked the the correct parts and it even showed me a video on how to replace the parts. Pretty easy to do and saved me from buying a new dryer:-) The repair was done in 20 minutes.

Removed front cover of dryer and cover over blower. Removing the blower wheel from the axle requires removing a snap-ring/circlip (impossible without the proper wrench, ~$20 at a big box store) as well as a compression clip (ordinary pliers will do). Yank off old blower wheel (D-shaped hole was now O-shaped, hence the problem), clean off the axle with a rag, and push on new blower wheel. Reassemble. In all honesty, this was a piece of cake for this complete novice. A lot cheaper than buying a new dryer!
