Screeching dryer and odor
USED SPACKLE KNIFE TO POP CLIPS ON TOP OF DRYER. RAISED LID OF DRYER TO EXPOSE BELT.
NEXT USED NUT DRIVER TO DISASSEMBLY SCREWS FROM FRONT DOOR AND THEN BASE ( BAG THEM. LABELED BAG AND MARKED INSIDE OF DRYER WITH CORRESPONDING NUMBER TO MATCH HARDWARE)
DISASSEMBLED DRYER DOOR LATCH SWITCH AND MARKED RED + AND WHITE NO MARKING. ( MIDDLE CONNECTION NOT USED)
REMOVED DRYER CLEAN OUT SCREEN AND THEN REMOVED DRYER FACE
NEXT REMOVED DRYER BLOWER COVER NO HARDWARE ( Just lift upwards see side clips)
OPENED UP SIDE OF DRYER TO GAIN MORE ACCESS (SPREAD APART MANUALLY)
Removed belt and marked where belt was on tumbler postion with permanent marker
USed 2 car hold down cords to hold drum in place with back of dryer
next removed belt from idler (note to make a drawing so that you know how to wrap this around the idler otherwise the belt will appear to be too large. Remember to reconnect spring.
Next step was to removed drum rollers... this required a retaining ring pliers cost about $15. I replaced the snap retaining rings. This was easy but requires that you pull the drum forward about 4 inches to position.
Next replaced belt and reassembled.
Project was a success and runs like new.... Saved me $129 service call plus $65 parts without Maytag mark-up plus additional labor for the job $130.
My cost $65 + $15 Tool (Retaining Ring Pliers)
$80 versus $259 + ( $65 *50%)ark up on Parts)
$80 versus $356 -- Thanks Parts Select for saving me $276 during the Christmas holiday.
