YMED5740TQ0 Maytag Dryer - Instructions

I came home from work to notice the dryer singing a different tune than usual. I opened the door and noticed that the tub wasnt turning. I popped the top of the dryer up to find a disentigrated belt. Fired up the computer and in a few minutes had ordered the $8 ($15 including shipping) replacement belt. 3 Days later took the shopvac and cleaned up the lint and broken belt pieces. Installed the new belt and was back in business with my 8 year old dryer. ** The only complaint comes from my wife who got her hopes up for a new front load washer and dryer** thanks partselect for saving my wallet in more than one way!

Remove two screws on top holding the filter frame.Use flat screwdriver to snap top at front off front panel.Swing top up and secure it against wall or tie in place. Remove screws holding front panel and kick panel to side panels.Did'nt remove back panel.Remove drive belt from pully wheel and then use belt to lift out drum.Use open end wrench on motor pully at rear and I used a socket set on the front of motor,Push down on wrench,counter clockwise,and hold the front pully from moving mine came right off. My dryer is over 10 yrs so the electric conection was changed but the instruction sheet explained how to change the wires,just follow the wire color,easy.

afer looking at the expoled views of the drier and locating the switch i checked to switch operation and found it wouldn't click.i ordered the switch,it arrived in just a couple days(right in the middle of the xmas holidays)i popped the top on the drier after finding 2 screws on the lint screen opening on top,2 screws mounted the switch,reassembled in reverse order and tested the drier.it was easy and with the new part in hand i saved aprox 200.00 dollars fixing it myself. p.s. please unplug the drier before starting any repairs...
