Low heat in dryer

  • Daniel from Wapakoneta, OH

  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
I suspected (correctly) that the thermostat was malfunctioning so I ordered the Heating Element Kit. This repair would have taken less than 15 minutes if I would not have dropped one of the sheet metals screws in the back of the dryer when re-installing the heating element.

Dryer making loud squeaky noise from rear rollers
3 of 3 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Mary from Richmond, TX
  • Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers, Wrench set
Took off top and front. Removed belt and pulled drum straight out. Unclipped the rollers. And noticed the rod that holds the roller was worn out badly. Good thing I bought the kit. Because it came with everything needed and was cheaper then buying the rollers seperate. Only hard part was putting the new mounting on for the rod. They are n ot predrilled. So does take some force. Put everything back togetther and dryer is working like new. fyi you can also clean out your air duct of lint buildup when doing this project. Had a repair man come over 2x in past year and each time he would replace the roller and charge me $150 each time. I spent $300 on that bozo. When i could have ordered the parts myself for a fraction of the cost. This was well worth and easy to do.

dryer wouldn't start
3 of 3 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Ulises from Bellevue, ID
  • Very Difficult
  • More than 2 hours
  • Screw drivers
The part didnt line up with the timer markers.

Instructions said where toscrewed it to the machines but didn't match the on and off buttons.

Rotated it and it fit a little better but it still didn't match the minutes or on and/off for every section.

Had to drill a hole in it to screw it in as well cause the ones that came drilled were not lined up right.

Dryer drum wouldn't turn and motor would shut off
3 of 4 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Cynthia M from Westfield, MA
  • Easy
  • More than 2 hours
  • Screw drivers
First I was told by the maytag repair man that the motor was shot and it would be 467 dollars to repair. Since I didn't have that kind of money I decided to take it apart to see if I could replace the motor myself. Once I had it apart I saw the part that held the motor in place was broken off and the motor was out of place causing it too shut itself off. Once I figured it all out it took about 2 minutes to replace the less than 6 dollar part! Thanks partSelect!!!

  • Jonathan from Meridian, ID
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 1- 2 hours

Had to disassemble most of the dryer including pulling dryer drum in order to get to drum support rollers. Not a real difficult repair, just time consumming because of amount of parts needing to be removed inorder to get to rollers.

Very simple-remove 3 screws that hold the Control Panel on, remove the two connectors and replace with new part in reverse order. Unfortunately, this did not fix the problem. Will be ordering complete timer assembly.

Lint filter in the 22 year old Admiral gas dryer was wearing out
2 of 2 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Joseph from DENVER, CO
  • Very Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
Received the replacement filter which was an exact duplicate of the 22 year old filter. Took the old one out; slid the new one in and got ready for another 22 years of use. At 86 years of age I probably won't be around to see the new filter wear out. The dryer has already outlasted the place where I purchased it - Montgomery Wards! They j ust don't make stuff to last like this anymore.

Drum glide got torn up from a loose screw.
2 of 2 people found this instruction helpful.
  • James from Richland, IA
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Nutdriver, Pliers, Screw drivers
First I removed the screws of the dryer cover. Next removed the screws holding the dryer drum.

Drilled out the two rivets left from the old glide. Inserted the plastic and postitioned the cushion underneath. Inserted the new glide and drilled a hole in the plastic to accomodate the new rivet. Inserted rivet. Pulled the oth er end so it was tight holding the cushion and did the other end. Done.

Had to cut the glide 1/4 '' of the width to slide it through the existing slots in the panel.
