Dryer is not warming up....what are my options
Hello Stephen and thank you for writing.
It certainly sounds like it could be a faulty radiant flame sensor PS11741429 and/or a faulty thermistor PS11741828 , you should check for signs of damage, and replace if necessary. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.
Hello Valerie, Thank you for the question. We suggest testing the Thermistor PartSelect Number PS11741828, Thermal Fuse PartSelect Number PS11741829, Thermostat PartSelect Number PS11741821 and the Igniter PartSelect Number PS11741122 with a multi meter to see if they are defective and will need to be replaced. We hope this helps.
Got front panel off. Belt ok. But original problem was motor runs but drum not turning, and what part goes on motor shaft to keep belt in tension?

From what I understand, this is a common problem with this Samsung made Maytag Neptune dryer. The dryer was making a sound like it had a shoe in it every time it was drying. The crack was in the seam at the back of the drum behind one of the baffolds so you can't see it when you look inside. I did not see it until I took the top off th
... Read moree dryer, looked inside and saw light through the hole. To take the dryer apart, first unhook it from the wall, gas, electricity, and exhaust. Remove 2 skrews from the top back side and slide the top of the dryer back and remove. The plastic control panel is then removed by taking 2 skrews out from the top, pulling the top of the control panel forward and reaching in with the other hand to pop out the plastic clips of the control panel from the front face of the dryer. Unplug the control panel from the electrical panel inside the dryer. Then you can remove the front door, 2 skrews, remove the front panel, 8 skrews I think, then the front piece the the drum rides on, 1 skrew. Take the belt loose and the drum will come right out. To install just reverse. Pretty easy once I figured out how to remove the control panel. I think the reason for the drum crack is it looks as though the back pressed metal piece that the drum rides on is not perfectly round. Even the new drum makes a very light thump sound and when I watched it go around with the top off the dryer I could see the drum turn slightly oblong. Check your wheels and make sure the axles are not worn, if they are, replace them at this time. Also you might as well replace the belt too.
