YG205KW Magic Chef Dryer - Instructions

Downloaded a schematic of the dryer controls. Watched a UTUBE video of how to remove the front panel of a Maytag Performa dryer. It was pretty easy. Consulted your website and found out that bad coils are typical of the symptoms 46% of the time. I have bought parts from you before and happy with results.

noticed that male half was in good working order, so I just snapped in the new female half; without any tools. easy repair!

easy as pie !

Followed troubleshooting steps. Checked thermal fuse (shorted)- OK. Checked igniter (about 70 ohms) - OK. checked flame sensor - (open) BAD (should read shorted). This part is normally shorted then opens when the igniter gets hot causing it to open and thus turns on the gas flow. An open flame sensor does not permit the igniter to turn on.

the video was very helpful

Disconnected dryer main power supply from wall socket. Opened dryer top,Thermal Fuse is mounted on the Heating Element support bracket on the upper left hand side of the back wall of the dryer. Disconnected wires from damaged Thermal Fuse. Removed hex bolt securing Thermal Fuse Bracket with a nut driver for easier access. Pull up on Thermal Fuse support bracket and remove. When reinstalling Thermal Fuse bracket be sure and line up securing clips with the slots on the Heating Element bracket. Once these are alinged push down until Thermal Fuse Bracket is secure and proceed installing the hex bolt to finish installation. Reconnect both wires and dryer should be ready for operation.

Watched how-to video provided on PartSelect website. Most time was spent cleaning out the cabinet of lint and other debris. I found over 5 bucks in loose change! I Found pulling the belt over the motor pulley to be the trickiest. Note: my dryer will be 30 years old come this September. I wonder how many more years I'll get out of it!

video describing repair very helpful. just folling it made the repair easy

Can't stop laughing about the mistake I almost made, before I even looked on internet I called Sears and scheduled a repair appointment, $80.00 just to have someone come out and tell me what my problem was not to repair it but to tell me whats wrong. And I told them the belt had broken I heard it when it snapped. Long story short version I found your website and entered appliance information, found part for $15.00 but also found on-site video clearly making the needed repair. Clear step by step instructions taking only 8 minutes looked very easy so I took a chance ordered the part two days later part arrived so I went into basement armed with laptop and tools. MAN it was easy.... too easy ....worked out fine video was spot on. Thanks you guys are a great company

removed front cover and turned unit on, igniter would glow red but burner would not start. ordered m series new style coil kit and installed. turned unit on and igniter came on and burner started right away. all thanks to parts select trouble shooting guide.

Thanks to Parts select it saved me hundreds of dollars. I dont know the exact age of my dryer as it was here when I bought the house. It stopped working and I thought, well here goes a few hundred dollars. I looked on line for possible fixes and found Parts select "thank goodness". There was discriptions and a video on how to fix a hight limit switch. I bought the parts was about 36 dollars with shipping, watched the video and fixed it in 15-30 minutes. simple, thanks again for having an awsome site. Dennis Pudoka, FL.

Opened the lid from the front. Took the high limit switch and bracket off. Removed the screw holding the element connection to the dryer out. This let the bracket holding the thermal switch come up. Being careful not to let the thermal switch fall out, removed it and replace it with the new thermal switch. hooked the two wires back on to it. Put the bracked on and pushed down, replaced the screw. I also replaced the high limit switch, put it back on and connected the two wires to it. Closed lid and tested.

when I see its no gas flame, i deduct the flame sensor and the electric coils not fuction, I order tru partselect and that take me like 30 min. to remplaced those parts.

The project was rather simple and saved the price of a new dryer! After lifting the dryer top the most difficult job was replacing the lower thermostat. It was in a relatively tight area that my hand did not fit into easily. The actual time spent on the repair was 35 to 40 minutes.

From the description of the symptoms on the site and what part fixes those symptoms I was able to determine what part I needed. The video was very easy to follow and understand it was very helpful. Hands down the best parts website I’ve ever come across.
