MDE4000AYW Maytag Dryer - Instructions

Took off door...pulled off front reached under drum and screwed in two screws....replaced front... screwed door back on...done

Removed the Timer Skirt by pulling it, by hand force, from the "D" shaft on the dryer control panel. Using a flat blade screw driver the Skirt was separated from 2 Timer Knob tangs that holds the subassembly together. Installation with the replacement part is the opposite steps.

Replaced the Latch

Step one:Go to YouTube and search for appropriate video. Then follow simple steps. Remove front, tilt back top, install new baffels, clean area and vents, and reinstall components. Hardest part was putting back on the dryer vent connection to wall outlet.

Removed the door which gave access to remove the front panel. Then removed screws that hold down the top. Lifted the top, finished removing all of the screws holding the drum cover. Lifted the drum up and slid it forward which gave access to the rollers in the back. I needed snap ring pliers to remove the rollers. Cleaned and greased the shafts, installed the new rollers and put it back together. All is working fine and quiet.

opened the dryer, cleaned link out. replaced roller.

Unplug maching. Remove two phillips screws to door hinges. Remove two phillips screws and plastic spacers on opposite side of door opening and, lifting door slightly pull outward away from machine. Pull front panel away from machine. Remove two hex head screws from each side of top panel catches then tip the metal hold down clips outward and set aside with screws. Lift top panel and secure from falling back down. Remove 4 hex head screws from front drum support and two small hex head screws below tub opening that supports the vent assembly. Carefully pull front drum support away from drum. Remove drum belt from motor pully and tensioning wheel. Lift drum from roller supports then remove old belt. Set drum aside. Remove spring clips from drum support rollers. Remove front washer roller support and back washer from each support shaft (2). Install new washer, roller support and front washer on each post. Reinstall spring clips. Install new belt around drum. Carefully install drum into machine, gently set on rollers and then mate to back seal. Be careful to ensure the seal is properly sealing around the drum and not pinched in any place. Reinstall front drum support, again being careful to properly seat seal. Reinstall the six hex screws (4 large/2 small). Place belt around tensioning wheel and then stretch belt over the motor pully. Turn drum to ensure it is seated properly and that belt is aligned correctly. Lower top panel and install two hex screws with metal clips. Reinstall front panel, insuring that it is seated properly. Insert two door hinges into proper slots and reinstall two phillips screws. Reinstall opposite phillips screws with plastic spacers. Ensure door closes and seats properly.

The cheapest way out is belt tension pully and two teflon glider and it comes with rivite it only takes 30 minute and I sugest to replace the belt

Unplugged dryer. Removed dryer door with philips screwdriver. Removed front dryer panel aftr loosening philips screws on each side of door. Then at top right corners I used a nutdriver to remove clips/hooks that hold down top of dryer. I then lifted top of dryer up- it is hinged at back. I could then manually turn drum to access screws that hold baffles. I held each baffle in place with left hand and turned in screws with right hand until tight, using nut driver. I vacuumed out inside of dryer. Reassembled top, front panels and door. plugged in and tested. All good.

Read the instructions posted by others and it was easy. Removed the 2 screws holding hinges and removed door. Removed the 2 screws opposite door hinges where door latches. Removed secrews on each side holding top on. Raised top and used a bungee cord to keep top up. Rotated drum and replaced all three baffles. Closed everything up and repair was completed.

Removed the door and the front panel by removing the screws in the door hinge and two more screws opposite the door. Then removed two screws at the top of the front of the dryer, one on each side. The allowed a bracket that held down the top of the dryer to be removed. Then I lifted up the top of the dryer and propped it open with a small box. Then all that remained was to put the new baffle in the inside of the dryer drum and replace the screws from the outside of the dryer drum. My only complaint was that the new baffle did not come with two new screws. I had to go out and buy them separately because I only found one of the old screws in the bottom of the dryer under the drum.

I'm an amateur!! I took my laptop to the basement and watched your video while I did the repair, stopping and replaying when necessary. The only thing that I found difficult is that my dryer is put together slightly different than the one in the video. But after some trial and error, I got it all figured out. The part you suggested solved the problem. Thanks!

First I'd like to say I ordered the parts one day and got them the next. That kind of service is awesome!

Pulled off the front panel (Removed the 2 screws at bottom then lifted up and out from the bottom. Set it to the side. Then removed the 4 screws holding the front of tub housing in place and pulled the housing to the side. Pulled the tub forward a few inches to expose the drum roller wheels located toward the back of the tub. Didn't pull the drum very far forward because I didn't want the drive belt to come off the pulleys. Removed the retaining clip from the first wheel and then removed the 2 rub washers and the wheel. Repeated the same to the other wheel. Pushed the tub back in place. Reached in around the tub and repositioned the belt to the front of the grove in the drum in which the wheels run. Reassembled the front tub housing, making sure the blower flange fit evenly and well into the felt sleeve. Reinstalled the front panel. Smiled when I turned on the dryer and it was quite. I didn't install the front glide kit though I may in the future since they are fairly warn.

I unscrewed 2 screw's from bottom of dryer and lifted off front. Removed 4 5/16 screw's and lifted off front drum. Removed belt and took out drum. Removed front drum roller's and replaced them. Used snap ring pliers. They are a big help.
Replaced drum but not all the way. Placed new belt on drum about 1/2 inch in front of groove. Flat side down, looped it over idle pulley and motor. Put drum in place. Replaced Front Guide's 2. Drilled out old rivet's 1/8" drill. Replaced front drum cover and 4 screw'. Replaced front of dryer and 2 screw's. The video showing how to do job was very helpful, watch it. PartSelect do a great job, I don't think I would have tried this job without their help. Dryer works like new.

I watched the video on the web site, that helped a lot and made my repaires like the video showed.
