Replacing Heater Assembly
I have been doing my own appliance repairs for over 40 years, so I have a good bit of experience. This was perhaps the most frustrating repair I have ever done. The heater assembly needed to fit in a duct at the back of the dryer, making access difficult. The assembly was out-of-round, so fitting it in the duct was impossible. No amount of shaping or coaxing could get the part in. Finally I forced the part in partially, screwed it down, and then wedged it in the rest of the way with my pliers. But there has to be a better way. You would think that Maytag could make a part that fit easily.

rumble when dryer started, then continuing rumble and occasional click when it was running
The videos available on the net illustrate this pretty well. I just wanted to mention that I did this in two passes. I ordered a new belt, the two drum rollers, and the idler pulley, assuming that the rumble was caused by binding in one of the rollers or the pulley, causing the belt to slip. When I got it apart, I realized the rumbling was caused by the blower wheel slipping on its shaft. So if you have this symptom, check that the blower wheel is secure on the shaft first thing. Replacing the blower wheel is a much cheaper and easier repair than replacing the belt, rollers, & pulley.
