MDE16PDAYW Maytag Dryer - Instructions

We started by unplugging the unit thenremoving the door tand front panel.By removing the belt from the tensioner and lifting out the drum.the drum rollers were replaced first and rumble was still there when operated.Checking the blower wheel revealed a crack the width of the blower.After new blower was installed the dryer operated almost as quietly as new.

Took the entire dryer apart after watching a video online. Replaced the rollers & the belt & put dryer back together. Since I am a machine builder by trade I knew how to do some of this after watching the video, but not sure how easy this would be for someone untrained.

watched the video.unpluged the power to the dryer disasembled the front of the cabinet removed the belt from the idler pulley and then removed the drum cleaned up the dust and lint in base of the cabinet and then removed the e-clip from the shaft on the idler arm removed the outer washer then worked off the pulley with pressure from a small flat blade screw driver removed the inside washer. cleaned the shaft and greased it with white lithum grease installed the first washer then the pulley then the out side washer then the e-clip but found that the pulley had a little side to side play removed pulley and installed one of the old washers on the inside along with the new one reasembled the pulley washer and e-clip the play was gone and the e-clip fit in the grove ok reasembled the cabinet and the noise was gone you could see the old bearing in the pulley was rusted

Pulled the front off. then the inner face and drum. removed belt and two pulleys and re-installed. took me 45 mins. never done it before. watch the video that comes with the parts confirmation you get online and do the job.

Removed door &clips on latch side of door using a philips screw driver. Removed the dryer front panel by hand exposing the two metal clips holding down the dryer top panel. Using a nut driver, the two clips were removed allowing the top panel to be raised. The dryer drum was manually rotated to the location of the broken baffle. Using a nut driver, the broken baffle was removed. The new baffle was installed in reverse order.

always unplug from outlet first, unscrewed the back off and pull off the wire from cycling thermostat ,take the two screw out that holding it in place and replace the new one .Very simple and easy. Thank you for the easy step by step video to complete this repair. James

replaced both solenoids on the gas valve.

The noise started intermittent and got worse. After watching an online repair of a very similar model and same brand, I decided to tackle it myself. The problem was that one of the drum support rollers had seized up. The shaft that support roller road on was also a little sticky. The noise was caused by the roller hitting the sheet metal behind the drum support roller and scraping on it. I replaced the shaft and drum roller and believe that solved the problem. I ordered other parts for the dryer drum assembly and replaced them while I had it apart. I didn't want to take it apart twice so I didn't take the time to disassemble to diagnose it. I just ordered them all and replaced them all while I was in there.

I searched for possible symptoms and viewed a video about how to remove the heating element. There were three possible parts listed for this symptom: Thermostat, thermal coupling and heating element. I decided to check the heating element continuity, so I removed the heating element. Once I looked at the heating element, I could see a break in the heating coil, so I know the problem. I put my existing thermostat on the new heating element, plugged in 4 wires and installed two screws to secure the heating element, then reinstalled the front cover to the dryer.

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