MLE2000AYW Maytag Washer Dryer Combo - Instructions

we opened the front panel, removed the tumbler and replaced the rollers. put it back together and started up the dryer.Noise continued.again opened the front panel and discovered a warned-out blower wheel. Replaced wheel. Runs good now

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.

It was very easy...we ordered the part and it only took a day and a half and it was here.

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.

replaced both solenoids on the gas valve.

When I found the WAX motor would not cycle I applied 120VAC directly to the WAX motor and machine went into SPIN CYCLE as it should have. Stopped machine and ordered replacement Machine Control Board. Replaced the part and machine works perfectly.

The start switch sparked out. Removed the back of the control panel a replaced with a new one.

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.

The repair was very easy after watching the video that was with the part. I will continue to use this site for other repairs that need to be done.

Well, if a picture is worth a thousand words, the repair video is priceless! Without it, this repair would have been more difficult, but it was so easy to follow along with the video while doing the repair. I rated it easy, but the reinstallation of the wire and spring holding the bellow in place requires significant pulling power. It took a couple tries to get it on, but other than that, the rest of it is cake. From start to finish, the job took less than an hour, but set aside some time for cleaning behind the washing machine if you haven't pulled it out in a while! Also, I have to mention that the part I received was an identical genuine Maytag part and not a remanufactured knock off. The fit and finish was perfect.

Remove the old on and pop in the new. Good time to vac the insides as well.

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.
