YMED6400TQ0 Maytag Dryer - Instructions

I ordered the part(and a backup) and had it in two days. 5 days less than ordering from sears.

Had to completely dismantle the dryer including the motor and grind off the.bolt holding the fan blade on. I did not realize it was threaded on with a left hand thread.Then reassembled.

After watching the U Tube video to replace flywheel, I had a appliance repairman come to my home to install flywheel. There was no way I would have been able to put the dryer back together without some help.
I want to say "Thank You" to the sales representative who assisted me when purchasing my items, she was very patient while running around the house looking for the model number of the dryer.

i removed the old lens,then removed the bulb,after ordering and receiving your replacement lense,it went back on just like the old one.the repair was very easy. thank you. D.S P.S1 IAM A REPIARMAN NOW!!! WITH YOUR VIRTUAL REPAIRMAN APP,VERY VERY SMART ILL SPREAD THE WORD.

Removed the lower front cover of the dryer. Removed the lint filter and removed the cover from the air duct by removing two 1/4" bolts. Removed the two 1/4" bolts retaining the thermistor. Installed the new thermistor and covers.

I had to remove the back, top and the tumbler to get to the fan...there are instuctions near the motor that tell you how to remove the fan and in which direction to turn...really is easy, just keep track of how the tumbler belt is routed on the pulley of the motor before you take it off.

This was by far so easy the instruction Partselect gave me where right on step by step. a repair man was going to charge 75$ just to come out 9$ from partselect. Thank you very much Mike chaplin

After reviewing the video of the fellow popping out the old door catch with a putty knife and popping in a new one, I tried that myself and there was no way it was going to come out without applying enough pressure to tear up the finish on the door. Tried the option of compressing the catch vertically with pliers and could get top or bottom out but not both. Believe my I have a garage full of tools and am very handy and this method was not going to work on my dryer. Finally removed the door and laid on carpet, took out all the screws and removed the catch from the back by squeezing with pliers. Replaced with the catch from the other side after doing the same.Re-assembled no problem. Ordered a replacement that I put in the unused side for next time.

when I identified the part from the blow-up parts drawing, I followed the instructions from the repair video. Very simple.

Pulled front of dryer off then pulled the tub out. I replaced the idler pulley arm and put a new belt on. I had to prop the tub up to put the belt on and put everything on in the reverse order from taking it off. This was not that difficult to do. I saved alot of money doing this myself.

On Monday, I found the replacement filter and made the order in less than 5 minutes. The filter was delivered by Thursday of the same week. Just incredibly easy! Thanks.

Took off front bottom panel reached in removed part that was very dusty. Put in new part. Cleaned out lint inside dryer. Works like a charm.

The door catchh is easily removed by sqweezing the base and pulling out through the opening from where it was installed. The replacemet simply installs in reverse order. There are two such catches on the door. Reversing the catch from the hinge side of the door will help keep you going until the replacement parts arrive. I suggest ordering two replacements and keeping the used parts for temporary use if you should have trouble again.

Remove the back panel, then remove the housing around the blower, just slide the housing of to the side, you don't have to take it completly of the machine. Remove the top, and remove the front until you can get to the blower motor. Cut the blower wheel plastic down to the metal nut with a fine blade in a recipricating saw, used a bi-directional broken stud remover socket on the nut that was at the center of the blower wheel and large slip joint plyer on the other end of the shaft. Replace the wheel and put back together. It took about as much time to gather up the tools as it did to fix it.,

Unplugged dryer and moved away from wall about 0ne foot. Removed lint catcher. Removed two screws holding lint catcher duct to top of dryer. Removed top of dryer by inserting putty knife into gap between top and front cover of dryer at both front corners, beginning with left side first. A slight amount of pressure and a little bit of wiggling helped to release the clip holding the dryer top on. Leaned top back and secured with a stick. Removed two screws on inside of front cover near top. Pulled up on front cover to remove. (Leave dryer door closed during this process). Removed front cover and set aside. Layed on floor and looked at Tensioner/idler pulley and made a drawing of the belt configuration at the pulley. Pulled pulley back to remove tension and removed belt from pulley. Used socket and ratchet to remove bolt holding tensioner/idler. Installed new tensioner/idler and reinstalled belt. reassembled dryer and tested.
