YE205KGA Magic Chef Dryer - Instructions

Remove and replace thermal fuse.

I researched the issue, found a video and ordered the belt, which came in 2 days. It was inexpensive, and I had my dryer back and running in less than 3 days. I did get my son to help me as it might not be that easy with just 1 person (to hold the drum in place while putting the front back on). Great service and great information on how to do the repair.

When we ordered the part we watched the video, to see what needed to be done and both my husband and I got the dryer all ready for install before part came so when the Ups delivery came it took all of 10 min to get it back up and running! Thank you so much for having the details and a video made thing go so well! Sincerely Dawn

Lifted top removed front hooked belt from idlers wheel. removed drum. replaced front drum glides rear support wheels idlers wheel. removed blower housing cover and fan. put in new fan don't use spring type clamp that comes with fan it doesn't hold for long and ruins fan. use good quality screw type hose clamp. then just reassembled in reverse order. but first make sure all power is off before doing anything .

I loved the demo video on how to do the repair-it was very helpful. My dryer was different than the one on the video, and I had to make adjustments ( I had self tightening screws on the top and bottom of the front panel and then I stripped the screws)I did this by myself and I had to prop up the drum AND the front panel with items in laundry room.) That's why it took me longer than demo (also had to run to hardware store to get screws). Felt great to accomplish this by myself. Thanks!

I know now that I did not have to get in the back of the machine. Only lift top remove two screws for the front and lift off.The most diffcult was determing how the idler and belt went in but if you hold it in position it becomes to you. Thanks for all your help you run a good ship.

I unplugged the dryer then loosened the screws on the top and inside front, took the front off, I didn't need to unplugged the socket wiring attached to the door. Removed the drum (it came right off) wrapped the new belt around the drum, fed the belt through the tension flange and looped it over the pulley. Then rotated the drum a few times by hand to line everything up then put everything back together. It works fine now.

Watched the repair video on part-select. Pulled the top of the dryer up after removing the lint trap screws.removed screws at top, inside both sides and then lifted front off. Slipped belt over drum and ran through tensioner and around motor shaft. Put dryer back together in reverse order. Simple.

Exactly as described by the video.

UNPLUG DRYER!! Pry the top up with a screw driver. Removed 2 screws holding front panel on. After removing screws, I removed the two wires running to the door switch. The front panel then can be removed. There are many screws around the blower housing that have to be removed to bet to the blower wheel. Use pliers to remove blower wheel clamp. I used a flat screw driver to remove the retaining clip. Pull the old blower wheel off. I then had to use a piece of pipe with a rubber hammer to drive the new wheel on. I then used the pliers to put the clamp on the blower wheel. Then put the retaining clip back on the end of the shaft. I put the blower housing back together with all of the screws. The thermostat is located on the external of the blower housing plate. unplug two wires and unscrew two screws. The reason I had to replace was due to me not unplugging the unit before removing the thermostat. Put in new thermostat with two screws then reattach two wires to correct pins. I took a picture before removing to make sure I had the wires in the correct spots. Assemble the front panel and attached the wires to the door switch. Close lid, plug in dryer, and ready to use.

Watched the video and performed as instructed- Could not have been easier- Great site with Great information

I came home from work to notice the dryer singing a different tune than usual. I opened the door and noticed that the tub wasnt turning. I popped the top of the dryer up to find a disentigrated belt. Fired up the computer and in a few minutes had ordered the $8 ($15 including shipping) replacement belt. 3 Days later took the shopvac and cleaned up the lint and broken belt pieces. Installed the new belt and was back in business with my 8 year old dryer. ** The only complaint comes from my wife who got her hopes up for a new front load washer and dryer** thanks partselect for saving my wallet in more than one way!
