Maytag new style dryer - Reference model# MDE5806AYW

Some take apart helps....

( Remove power! )

 

This is an new Maytag dryer, it is built from the Amana style dryer.

 

There are two clips between the top panel and front, use a putty knife or small flat screw driver to depress in the clips so the top panel can be undone and lifted up.

Picture

At the top on the inside are two screws to remove. On the dryer that I was working on these where a 5/16 nut driver style screw.

Picture

The top of the front panel will tilt out towards you and the panel must be lifted off of the clips near the bottom and rolled off to the right side.

Picture

There are 4 screws to be removed so the bulk head can be lifted up and away from the dryer.

Picture

With the bulk head off, the belt can be rolled off of the motor and idler pulley and the drum can be lifted out.

How the belt and idler pulley look with the belt installed and in place.
