GDG27CD Maytag Dryer - Instructions

Removed the door first by removing two screws. Next remove front cover by unscrewing two screws on the left hand side. very easy to remove the igniter coil. Just one screw. The plug connector just pulled apart easily. It was cracked. I replaced with a new one. However, the new ignitor cracked within 3 days. Had to reorder another one. When I placed the first one, I may not have screwed the ingnitor in well enough. If it is loose, the vibrations of a hot coil may cause it to fail early. So just a tip. My second coil works well.

about 2 hours. most important was using the special snap ring pliers. next was getting the belt around the motor pulley and drum.it was easier to remove the 9" X 9" rear cover plate and see/do the correct belt hookup. the instruction sheet was very good. the most useful/helpful was the part select internet site wiith the diagrams and explanation of how to do it.then I ordered your parts because of it

I know nothing about appliance and am not really very handy with mechanical repairs, but I decided to watch the video and decided to try. Figuring out the source of the noise wasn't as easy as just listening to it on the video. I was still confused about whether it was the blower or the rollers. I ended up sticking my head inside and manually turning to drum - it sounded like the noise was more in the front. To confirm, I opened up the front and checked the blower wheel. It was very loose, so I decided to order. Things went pretty smoothly until I got to removing the ring. I've never used snap ring pliers before, so I went to Lowe's and purchased a Retaining Ring Pliers Set. Unfortunately, the pliers were too large for the ring so I ended up opening up a paper clip and inserting one end in each hole in the ring, Then I used two pliers to pull the paper clip and open the ring. This took a while to figure out and, looking back, I could have made things much easier on myself. There was an extra metal plate that wasn't in the video. I had to remove it to take off the blower housing. I didn't remember how it went on, so I just left it off. Everything else was exactly by the video. I installed the new blower wheel and clip and voila - the dryer purrs like a kitten again. I feel very good about being able to accomplish something I never imagined I could do and saving some money in the process. I highly recommend and will certainly use the service again.

Fortunately our Dryer had a separate cover on back of dryer so the drum did not have to be removed. Biggest challenge was removing the hot air duct work since it is so light weight and easily damaged. Belt was removed and pulley removed and new pulley was easily installed.

On the Amana dryer, I had to remove the top panel. then the front panel to access the burner assembly. I also had to remove the gas pipe coming to the burner, because I replaced the tube burner assembly at the same time. There is only one screw that holds that back end of that gas pipe. The thermal flame sensor is on the left side of the burning chamber, with only one small Phillips head screw. just remove the 2 wires, keeping track of which terminal they belong. Just twist the sensor out of the small slot, and out it comes. The tube burner assembly is fastened with 2 screws. The entire burner assembly comes out in one piece, but be real careful not to bang the igniter when removing it. The coil assembly has 2 wires, which you cannot get wrong, because one has 2 prongs, the other has 3 wires.The local repair shop wanted 90 bucks per hour, plus parts, and I installed both the burner tube and radiant flame sensor for around $80.

Unplugged electrical cord to dryer. removed the front cover 2 screws on the bottom. Lifted front cover off. Unplugged the 2 wires going to the old flame sensor. Used nut driver to remove 1 screw holding the flame sensor in. Removed old sensor replaced with new one. Reattached the 2 wires back on to the new flame sensor. Tested. Flame stayed on longer! Dryer works great dryer is 20 years old and still running like new now. Part was the exact match I needed.

Two screws takes off the front panel.Watch for door wiring. Set door to the side.Take out the filter duct. Pull belt off... pull out the drum and there it is. One nut and a slip washer and the roller is off. Repeat the steps in reverse. A second set of hands will make it go faster.

Quick and easy

IT was good My husband fixed it .sorry we didn't take video but it is working alright. Thank you

The videos available on the net illustrate this pretty well. I just wanted to mention that I did this in two passes. I ordered a new belt, the two drum rollers, and the idler pulley, assuming that the rumble was caused by binding in one of the rollers or the pulley, causing the belt to slip. When I got it apart, I realized the rumbling was caused by the blower wheel slipping on its shaft. So if you have this symptom, check that the blower wheel is secure on the shaft first thing. Replacing the blower wheel is a much cheaper and easier repair than replacing the belt, rollers, & pulley.
