Dryers are compact machines with most of the parts organized along the bottom of the machine. While the lower access panel(if it has one) lets you reach most of the pieces, visibility can be a little tricky. The easiest way to get full access to the machinery in your common Maytag dryer to is to remove the upper front panel of your Maytag machine and take out the drum. Whether you need to replace the high-limit thermostat (part #489P3) or the band around the drum is cracking, here’s how to safely and easily get into the inner workings of your dryer.
Removing the drum is not an essential step to most dryer repairs, but getting it out of the way can make your job much easier by giving you a better view of the parts below. In order to reassemble your dryer, just reattach the belt to the pulley and motor shaft, and then work through the steps backward. Make sure your wires are inserted correctly according to the pictures you took along the way or according to the manual. If your dryer isn’t working right, go to Fred’s Appliance Service for tips on how to diagnose the problem and step-by-step repair guides.
