Hey Bill, I am a 62 yo widowed grandma, and you taught me how to change the belt out of my dryer, my arms are short and it was really hard, bc the first time I did it, the belt wasnt on correctly. But the second time was a charm!!!! $24 belt or $400 new dryer. I would say that is a WIN!
Great video, was able to take it apart and change the belt thanks to you. Now I had to watch the video in reverse to figure out how to put everything back on 😅
Great walk through on how to disassemble this machine.
This video was excellent and very helpful. I used it today to trouble shoot and repair my Maytag dryer. Thank you for taking the time to make the video.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FORNYOUR GUIDANCE! This video allowed us to fix our lint issue w/out needing to replace! Bills videos are easy to follow & he is extremely knowledgeable on appliances.
Very well detailed on how to take it apart
Bill you are awesome and a life saver. you just saved me a ton of money. I love DIY videos keep making a difference, it made one for me.
Excellent sir. Thank you. Even more excellent is I easily found the section on the belt replacement which is why I came. :)
Thank you for doing this video. It saved me a bunch of money for a repair I can do myself. The only comment I have to make is that you launched right into the repair instructions without making any safety tips. I realize that everyone should unplug the appliance and watch out for sharp edges but it would only take a few moment to make those recommendations. It can't hurt.
Thank you for posting this video. I was able to remove a fridge magnet that was lodged in the blower fan. It was thrown in accidentally by my 18mo. old son who was "helping" me with laundry,
Thanks for confirming what I have to do in order to clean out the dryer vent assembly. It's a mess! Now to decide if I should bother! Or get a new washer /dryer. They are both really old. 15+ years.
Excellent Video! helped me avoid costly repairs
Thank you my friend. Was able to address a tub roller issue because of you great and informative video. Job well done.
Lifesaver. My belt snapped and i was having a fit trying to get this damn thing open
Thank you thank you. Excellent and easy video to follow. Was able to fix my dryer myself since I live overseas and jo one here works on us gas dryers!!!
Thank you for this video. It really helped me change the rollers for my dryer. This was even the exact model I have. My dryer works great again.
Thanks man, needed your video to get started and it worked great.
Thank you for posting this video. Very helpful.
Mine is SDE4606AYW but surprisingly to me your video still helped it was just opposite.
I am a 68 year old woman . I live on a fixed income .I can not buy a new dryer. Your information helped me fix my dryer .thank you so very much.
Huge help sir!!!! Thank you very much!!
Thanks, a real professional.
They could have had all of that accessible with a rear panel and liftable top. Clearly they want people to throw it in the trash and buy a new one rather than try to fix it.
Great video ! ! Thanks
That's awesome, I like hearing when people fix their own appliances. I've said it before, It really makes my day to read these comments.
Thanks for Watching!
still valid...thanks!
10 years on you're still saving people money. Just fixed my old Maytag, thanks to this vid. Hope she holds! Cheers Bill.
Super helpful: well explained and straight to the point! Helped me get to where I could do the necessary repairs. Thank you!
My Maytag dryer belt broke. I ordered one. It came with the instructions, "Remove top." "Remove front." "Install belt." Removing the drum would have been a good hint.
Your videos were excellent. About 10 minutes to clean the inside, 10 minutes to replace the belt. 10 minutes to put it back together. Hardly any cursing.
michael s Nice Job on your Repair! Thanks for Watching!
Dude thanks so fucking much!
Good video.
Hi Bill. I took my dryer apart and let it sit for a week. I then discovered I'd forgotten which screws went where. Found your video and all's good again, happy wife.
Thanks
Looking at the prospect of buying a new dryer...watched your video, found a broken roller, and now it purrs like a kitten. Thanks for your video!
clear video, Thanks
Can you do a video on how to remove the lower front panel of a Maytag commercial dryer model MEDP575GW. Can't find this anywhere.
Gracias, very well explained, even forme., English as my
second language.
Found a free one on Craigslist.,( nothing is free).
And after watching your video and couple hours of work, and boom💥
WE have a good old dryer again.🙏
Thank you for the straight forward and clear instructions! Your videos are excellent! Rollers are replaced and belt back in working order. Thanks again
10 years on and you help me so much . I am able to fixed my old Maytag thanks to the video with out buying a new one. thank you so much.
How do you check the fuses? Mine isn't heating and I suspect that's the culprit
Your Welcome!
Thanks for Watching!
Thank you so much Bill! I have this exact same model. I never would have been able to take it apart, fix it and get it back together without your videos. It is much appreciated. The dryer is now running like new. You saved me $500! Thanks for your efforts. Mike in CT
Mike Haller Awesome! That's what I like to hear!
Been using this video for years. Our Maytag is 25 years old and still going thanks to great content creators like you. I’ve done everything from deep cleaning to replacing the belt and rollers. BIG thanks!
Hey Bill, I just wanted to say thank you! Your videos have recently helped me fix my own dryer and a neighbors washer. I really appreciate that you take the time to do what you do. Again, Thank You!
Do you have a video for a Maytag Centennial dryer?
I have watched this video a couple of times but I did not see where I could replace the heating mechanisms where the dryer is giving out heat. Where is it located and approximately how much are the parts. Anyone??
Great job, exactly what I needed.
this video just saved me having to call a dryer repair guy!!!!!
THANK YOU BILL!!!!!
Awesome! That's how I do everything, these days - by checking google & youtube first! :)
Me too, I almost just called but after seeing this video, I know my husband could fix it.
Thank you for the tutorial. It was well explained, you were easy to understand, much better than the videos with stupid music and word pad text. I had a loud squeaking going on and was able to get to the wheels and pulley and add a little oil. Dryer is good as new now.
Billy S Awesome!
I have replaced the belt (2x), drum rollers (2x), heating element (2x), felt seal once, drum wear pads once (should have done this 2x!). The MDE3600AYW is so easy to repair! The latest is the drum wore thru the blue pads, destroyed the drum and felt seal. You cant get a new drum ɓecause they're discontinued! So, I bought a used MDE5500AYW (Neptune ) for $20 that was going to the junkyard and salvaged the drum. User tip: exact same drum!
Great instructional video! Thanks...you saved me a lot of time with the step-by-step disassembly.
Thank you! You just saved us $75 and a four day wait on the serviceman.
Don't forget to unplug it first. Once the cover is off there is a lot of exposed wire connectors and with 120 vac, a shock can be pretty bad. I watched both of your vids on the Maytag. We have a different model but it was easy to take the front off. The top does not need to come off ours DG84100. So much lint and ash in there. Really worth it just to clean everything. Just don't touch the flame sensor in the burner tunnel. It's very delicate. The motor was packed solid with lint. Surprised it didn't overheat, catch fire or burn out. New belt ordered. Took the 3 wheels off for a good cleaning and some lube. just a dab of high temp marine bearing grease on the shafts and they turn fine. Lots of lint in the lint screen compartment too. And more in the fan blades. I'm wondering why they don't put rollers on the front of the drum too. This one has 2 plastic slider pads for the drum to run on. Seems it would take less power operate on wheels. These dryers are a marvel of cheap construction. Lots of sharp edges so watch your self. Maytag wanted 44 + shipping for a belt. Ebay $10 shipped. We bought this one used about 20 years ago. One appliance repair guy I talked to said to expect 4 to 7 years for new appliances. Worth fixing the older models for sure.
Can you tell me how to disassemble to replace a belt in a Maytag Centennial
MODC200XWO Dryer
Hi Bill. I have a Maytag model# LDE7500ACW. I Cannot disassemble the dryer because It is not the same model so there are no screws upon opening the door. Any suggestions
I just wanted to thank you for posting this video. Our dryer is the same vintage as the one in your video. Thanks to your great instructions I was able to partially dissemble the dryer (sounded like it had a broken belt), I noticed that two little baby socks had been sucked into the nylon blower wheel little squire cage thing and when I pulled them out it ran fine and the drum turned. Your video saved us a bundle. Thanks again.
Thanks Bill , I subscribed to your channel . I can understand you well when you speak unlike some videos I've watched . Good deal , keep'em coming.
Thank you so much. I am so thankful for good people like yourself that take their time to help others. May God bless you!
Thank you Bill for your videos. I was able to replace the belt on my Maytag Dryer, and get it back together. I appreciate your help.
Awesome video exactly what I needed! Except when I plugged it back in and pushed start it didn’t work, any suggestions?
Very helpful video! thank you
I wish I could buy a new one of those. Next year it will be 20 years old never had one thing done to it. I am putting new drum rollers belt and tensioner today.
Many thanks Bill. Excellent step by step, and it worked great for me and my maytag.
Bill, appreciate your videos. you probably saved me $300 today.
That's a very complicated dryer! I had a GE, all I had to do was pop the top up to remove the front panel in order to clean out the lint. So glad I found your video before I tried to do that and ruin the dryer.
Thanks for video. I try to do muck of my own work here at house . But your video takes the guessing out of the game save lots of time. Thanks again.
You didn't show the belt removal? The next video the step is not shown? Maybe i missed it. Great work thanks
You make awesome appliance repair videos. I really appreciate you.
Thank you! Open mine up and found a sheet metal screw on the drum had loosened up and was scraping the side of the cabinet 😂
You just saved us so much money! Our Maytag was screaming at us and I thought it was the belt or the idler pulley. We figured as long as it was apart we may as well replace the rollers and pins too! It ended up being a roller on the right side but as long as it’s down that far, you may as well replace everything. Thank you so much for this video!
Many thanks for the video. Instead of buying a new dryer I spent $75 on parts and tools and fixed it myself.
+Michael Ellis Nice!
I have this exact dryer. If the gas is turned off, how do you relight the pilot after the gas is turned back one?
Thanks for your videos! This one and the belt replacement. I have this exact dryer and it helped me out a lot today!
Thanks Bill. Your 2 videos made it simple enough for me to tackle a simple problem that would otherwise have caused me to replace a perfectly good dryer. The Maytag site also had some advice on what parts to replace for my particular issue (noisy dryer). Now it should be good for another 20 years.
Thanks for the video! Fixed my dryer in 20 minutes, You Rock!
Thank you for this video! It was very very helpful thank you!!
Bill, great video. Viewed it twice and the one for replacing the belt and rollers. Had an agitator partially disconnected in the drum. removed the front & door on my gas model and raised the top to replace the screw that had come out and tightened the other. Checked the other screws while in there and reassembled. Whole job took less than half an hour including cleanup. Your videos are great for giving the confidence to make repairs like these simple not to mention the cost savings. I very much appreciate your expertise and the great quality videos.
Well done video, you’re an excellent teacher, thank you. Saved me big.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! We were able to take our son’s dryer apart to fix a terrible squeak thanks to your video!
Omg 82 people just had to. :-/
Good job on the vid. Helpful as hell!
this is piece of crap. thats from 20 yrs ago. How do you take the top of a new maytrag dryer?
Thanks Bill. You saved me a lot of time trying to figure out how to dismantle it without breaking something.
Great video. Well done. Concise and accurate. Thank you.
What is the best way to order parts? I have really bad squeal assuming it’s the belt
Great job bill I'm saving money by watching this. I've watched the other video and didn't see how to actually remove the drum. I'm giving out a try and taking a picture at every step. Your video helped my confidence a lot. Thanks!
Thanks for the clear, concise & helpful guide.
You would think the clowns would put access panerls for the fuses.
I have this model and was hoping you'd show where the thermal fuse is.
How do you get the grate that covers the lint filter off?
Thank you so much I will doing this myself.....
Your awesome Guy, thanks for the help
Thanks, that helped a lot.
great common sense easy to understand
Thanks for the video! Helped save me a service call!
Thank you for making this video! 👏👏👏
THANKS. Great video.
Thanks so much for this video! A great refresher before I tackled the loose drum fin that woke me up at midnight. Fixed it fast and easy thanks to your info.
We had the same problem, we fixed ours, and tighten all the others.
I want to take my belt off and check my rollers
Always the best! Thanks Bill!
Absolutely magnificent! It’s July 2024, and I have a 23-year old Maytag dryer (slightly different model) that was screeching and howling something awful 😣. These instructions were perfect, and I managed to take the whole thing apart as shown, replace the belt (as shown in your other video), and put it back together without any extra parts 😁. Thank you for an excellent tutorial!
