MDE13PRACW Maytag Dryer - Instructions

Followed the vidio on your web sight , simple, thanks for the help, saved me a ton of time.

I assumed it was an electrical issue, checked the circuit breaker, and power at the outlet and both were good. I then tested the start switch, which was also good. I did some reading and learned that the thermal fuses often are at fault when the dryer won't run. As it turns out there was a dead bird stuck in the exhaust, which had clogged up with lint and caused the thermal fuse to blow. I tested continuity and found none, so I knew the fuse was bad. Replacement was pretty straightforward, just remove the front panel, the wiring shield, and the front drum support. Two screws to remove the fuse. Installation is the reverse of removal. The dryer runs great now, and no more musty odor to the clothes,

Loud notise when drying. Took apart and noticed the wear plates were junk. Shipment came in within 3 days. Video on website guided us every step of the way. This was our first DIY home repair on an appliance. Very happy!

Followed instruction and drilled out rivits and replaced glides and wheel very easy and saved money

remove front panel 2 screws, remove lint guard, remove metal shield replace blower wheel and reassemble

Replacing the blower wheel and roller was easy. The internal mechanism is vary simple. The only help I needed,was for my wife to vacuum the inside.

Was a really easy fix I ordered my new lint filter one day and got it the next day I was really empress with how fast it came and how easy was to order . My dryer dry even faster now. Thank You for fast and great service. I told all my family and friends about Part Select.

Experienced a loud squealing noise when running. At first it was intermittent, then became constant. Read reports at PartSelect.com of the same problem that pointed at the motor bearings with eventual failure of the motor. Removed the back access panel and rotated the motor to confirm the noise as coming from the bearings. Decided to replace the motor along with the belt, idler pulley and drum rollers as long as I was in there. I watched all of the available videos at PartSelect.com and read the previous repair experience to get a game plan. I am not the most mechanically inclined person, but the replacement of the parts went well. The only stress point was reconfiguring the wiring to the new motor. However, after paying close attention to the instructions and going slow, all went fine.

Removed front of dryer. Removed the drum and belt. This allowed easy access to the rollers. There was very little rotation of the rollers when I tried it by hand. I also took digital pictures as i took it apart to ensure I could get it back together. I did not purchase the front glides and they needed replaced so I had to order them separately. This cost me a extra shipping fee. So order them from the start. The roller shaft assembly comes with tworoller shaft washers. So don't order them extra as I did.

then the noise got worse. After taking the front cover and door off and disconnecting the electric to the push button I took out the Phillips screws that hold the plastic cover over the fan. they come off from inside the drum. There was 1 of them that I could not get off as it is on the left side and is inaccessible so I had to just pull on the cover and break the screw. The fan then came right off as the clamp had already fell off, which I found underneath the dryer. Caulked up the plastic cover and put back the screws and front panel. Nice and quiet again.

I used a video that played sounds and described what caused them. I found out the blower wheel was supposd to be tight and not free moving. When I spun the dryer drum by hand I heard the noise from the blower wheel and it kept spinning when he drum stopped. It also was loose one the shaft. I ordered the part from part select and then watched the provided video on the repair. Only difficulty was the clip removal. But was able to work through that. Had it back together and tested in about an hour.

Pushed in the Door Catch, and it was fixed.

As described on video, except re-installing the belt was difficult. I found it easier to reinstall the drum first, then put belt on inside the grooved part of the drum, so there is some slack. Once installed around the idler and drive shaft, slide the belt forward into final position

The repair went like clockwork. I watched the video and followed it ALMOST to the letter. When it came to putting the new belt around the motor pulley, the video suggested to do it from the front. I found it much easier to do it through the access panel on the back which opens up right in front of the motor. I spent some extra time cleaning out all the the dust etc from the inside - especially around the drum rollers. Thanks for the great instructions and the quick shipping time. The dryer should last for a very long time.

Removed the door, the front panel and the lint screen panel (easily done with a nut driver and a screw driver - 2 screws on the door and 8 screws for the panels). Tilted the top of the dryer open to see the drum. Turned the drum by hand and heard the same noise. Examined the felt pieces that insulate/isolate the drum from the front cover that retains and positions the drum. They were worn some, but intact. Noticed that one the the two front glide kits the the drum rides on (these are riveted to the bottom of the front panel mentioned above)was completely worn through allowing metal on metal contact. Ordered a new glide kit (about $20 including shipping - 3 days to arrive). Drilled out old rivets and removed what was left of the old glide kit. Installed new glide kit using the 2 rivets that came with the cork and 'teflon'? This took maybe 15 minutes. Reinstalled all covers and took it for a test run. No noise. Wife thinks I'm a hero!
