MDE13PDBDW Maytag Dryer - Instructions

Followed instructions on the you tube video included in the part selection of the PartSelect part ordering webpage. The video described replacing the drum roller and shaft, as well the dryer cabinet / drum belt / etc. removal to access the broken parts on my exact dryer. Individual parts were less expensive on other websites, and I could find the you tube independently, however, the instructions included from PartSelect, quick delivery and professional service from Part Select were worth the difference ! My first experience with PartSelect, but not my last.

Entered Model # and problem into search engine on internet.Luckily i found your site.I entered my model#,brand,etc and your site was great with common causes. I watched repair video on your site.Video was excellent.I took off the front panel and one other panel,pulled out the drum and inspected the rollers.I also inspected the belt.Belt and rollers were fine. Noice was coming from blower motor area.I removed the blower motor cover and found that the blower wheel (squirrel cage) was hitting against the blower motor cover.Blower wheel was worn where it slides onto the blower motor shaft.Blower wheel should be D shaped and tight fit on shaft when new.Ordered part.Was able to track delivery and when it was arriving at my house.Installation went great. Problem Solved.I will definitely keep PartSelect on my favoites e-mail sites. I would recommend them to any friends.Excellent service from beginning to end. Thanks Again !!!!!

I followed video, took out two screws from bottem front of dryer. removed door set a side, used a nut driver to remove the 4 nuts holding the front drum panel, I used a 1/8 drill to remove 4 pop-rivets holding what use to be front glides,I put the new glides in cork parts first then the plastic parts, than used my poprivet gun to but in the new rivets. I put it all back together and now no more holes in my underwear!!!

First I took the front of the dryer off and removed the drum (of course, after disconnecting the power supply) Removed the belt and then the roller itself. I had to open a removable port on the back side to reinstall the belt but that was also very easy. The videos made it all seem soooo simple. Thank you.

I originally diagnosed as tension roller but found it to be a drum roller. Plastic had separated from the Babbitt bearing. So replaced both drum rollers and returned the tension roller. Only problem was the video was not for Maytag Neptune but a more generic dryer and I spent an extra hour try to reattach the drum belt. The video was the one that came with the email notification of part being shipped. Hook up to motor drive is backward from what the Neptune is. Eventually went looking for another video on my own and discovered the difference.

I viewed the roller replacement instruction video on the website which was very helpful since I had never replaced drum rollers. A leisurely pace of one hour to replace the two rollers, half of which was spent vacuuming the interior. Removed the front panel without tipping the dryer. Had to disconnect a ground wire to remove one bracket but otherwise only had to remove screws, slip rings and washers. No belt removal. Drum was pulled away from rollers but remained in cavity Reassembled without any problem. Ran the dryer - much quieter and no longer had the whirring noise.

Repaired as described in the Partselect video.

I lifted out the old lint filter and inserted the new one. Piece of cake!!!!

Was running the dryer with only 1 baffle for a while but the clothes were balling and and not drying well. I decided it was time for the repair, instead of calling a repair man, I searched for the parts and found them on parts select. After a couple of days I had the parts in hand and got to it. I am pretty handy but I had never worked on a dryer before so i checked out a couple of how to videos. Although I did not find a video for my exact dryer model, I got the gist of it. After removing 2 screws, I removed the front panel to expose the brackets holding the top down. I removed the 2 screws holding the top down and propped it up and out of the way. Once the top was out of the way the barrel was exposed and I just bolted the new parts down. After a quick vacuum of the inside, since I had the machine open, I just screwed everything back together and was done in less than an hour. The whole job cost me less than $30. Good luck!

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.
