3 Tilt dryer backwards and remove front cover bottom 2 philips screws.
4 remove lint assembly and then the fan blower housing with nut driver.
5 with pliers remove retainer clip from fan

at the same time I replaced the front glides if you do not want to do this then reinstall in reverse order and job is complete.
for glide replacement
1 remove the 4 screws holding the outer ring to the frame of the dryer.
2 drill out old rivits from the back side and then knock out. be careful to only drill rivit and not into metal frame
3 install new new glides makesure you install in correct direction.
4 install pop rivets with stud end on top side of glide. pushing rivet through glide and into the frame ring.
5 pop rivits and make sure they are secure.
6 reinstall ring making sure seal is around ring correctly
7 reintal 4 screws.
8 follow reassembly of blower and lint housing if you changed the fan. if not then just the lint assembly.
good luck the job is really easy and you will save yourself some money

Electric dryer was rumbling - wheel or belt?
Unplugged dryer. Front came off easily. Removed front of blower. Wheel came off fairly easily - could then see that shaft of motor was circular with flattened side but inside of old wheel was rounded. New wheel popped right on. Took tumbler off so I could clean lint out more easily and get a good view of how the belt threaded through. Put the tumbler back on and reached back with both hands to thread it. Took a half dozen tries until I was sure it was seated correctly and not twisted. Put front... of dryer back on. So far (a week or so) the rumble is gone. Seems blower wheel was the cause of the rumble. Belt didn't seem worn but replaced anyhow.

Old lint filter had a hole in it about the size of a thumb
Took longer to open the box that it did to drop the new lint filter into the dryer. Washed a load of clothes and the new dryer filter worked great
Thanks.

Dryer door would not stay closed
1. Popped out old latch from dryer with a screw driver and pressed in new latch with fingers. Did not need to replace the part that is in the door. Very simple repair.
2. Lint filter was worn out and needed replacing.

CustomerDiane from York ME
Maytag dryer is 33 years old and needed a new lint filter.
The dryer was so old (33 years) that the customer service woman could not find the model number. However, she gave me the oldest Maytag model lint filter number she had and she had me compare online a parts drawing of it with mine. It looked so similar that I took a chance and ordered it. And it fits perfectly. She gave me excellent customer service. I regret that I did not record her name.

Torn lint filter
1. Removed old lint filter by sliding it out
2. Installed new lint filter by sliding it in
The nature of the part makes this "repair" very easy.
I'd also like to comment on dealing with PartSelect. Web site is excellent and service was even better. Ordered item late on a Thursday and I had it in hand by Saturday. Shipping is pricey but at least I got what I paid for... Delivery could not have been better or quicker. 5 stars!

Customersuzanne from Ottawa IL
Dryer filter screen broken
I didn't think it would fit as it looked bigger then the old one, I called the service department and they were very helpful. They made note of the fact that I had called with questions in case I had to call again, but it worked, and no one laughed at me. It was very nice of them. Thank you for all the help

Customerdave from Austin TX
Dryer was exhibiting high clunking tendencies
had done belt exchange before so it was not a new drill...this time belt was *not* broken and probably wouldn't need to have been changed...bearings (they're a wheel- like in much the same way as are those wheels on the Chilian rescue capsule) seem to spin free but tumbler does not turn quietly
still drys clothes ok but imagine it is providing these noises as a clue to it's pending demise
the new lint filter works good, however
