MEDP575GW0 Maytag Dryer - Instructions

Watched videos on line on how to repair. Replaced all four Drum Rollers, Belt and Idler Pulley, cleaned out inside of unit.

After checking the temperature safeties, I replaced the Push-To-Start switch. This did not solve my problem, so I replaced the Timer Switch assembly, which did solve my problem. Both switches are very simple to replace. Unplug the dryer, use your nut driver to remove the 6 screws holding the back control cover. For the Start switch, remove the control knob, remove the 2 screws holding it it. Unplug the wires, turn the switch housing 1/4 turn clockwise, and remove it from the opening. Reverse the process to install the new switch. For the Timer Assembly, just a bit trickier. Remove the knob, remove the 2 screws holding the assembly. Unlike the Start switch, the Timer Assembly has multiple wires. Pull the old timer assembly out, and, one-by-one, move wires from the old Assembly to the new Assembly, being sure to land them on the proper post. Once you have done this, return the Assembly to the mounting hole. A very simple repair. Even though I spent $160 chasing the problem, I still came out cheaper than calling a repairman.

Just like the video, just followed the video
Thanks,

Watched Video - very helpful in repair Maytag Dryer working like new now Thanks for your guidance in my repair

After replacing many, many parts the dryer still does not work! Replaced Thermo Fuse, Thermostate, Cycling Thermostat, Coils, Ingition Sensor and Ignitor. Ran meters across all incoming power, timer control, ignitor power, etc. all check out according to schematic. Incoming gas supply is functioning. So, 6 parts recommended later still same problem. On the good side, all parts were shipped out very quickly. Highly impressed with service.

take off front bottom panel. use ohm tester on the heater coil element, (It had broken in back) remove screw holding it in place and the two red wires leading to the element. Pull out and replace. reinstall in reverse. Done

I Picked up the two front corners up, after removing the 2 screws from the vent and the 2 screws that hold the door switch in place, then I disconnected the old switch and put in the new one. Just the opposite of how I took it apart. Very simple and it works great!! Thanks

Replaced dryer timer with a new one. Was really easy to replace. Just had to remove timer knob and back cover to get to timer. Then removed all wiring harnesses from the timer and unscrewed the two screws that holds it in place. Installation of new timer was in reverse order. Tested new timer and it solved the problem.

Need to access back of dryer so you probably have to take exhaust hose loose as I did b/c mine was aluminum foil flex type. Was an oppt'y to clean it but fiddly when reinstalling. Since the control panel is tilted slightly back for ease of use, I tilted the whole dryer forward to get better access to timer mounting screws. Very easy install. Even though there are a lot of wires, they are grouped into 4 molded connectors which are all different shapes, so you can't get it wrong. You might have to pry a little to get them off and I suppose you could break the connectors if you are too rough. There is a fifth separate small connector with 2 black wires and that one is hard to release. You have to press a release tab down and fiddle a bit.
As you face the cabinet from the back do note the timer's left mounting screw also shares holding an L-shaped bracket to secure the buzzer, and if you reinstall putting the buzzer bracket first you will not be allowing the timer to rest flush with the back of the control panel. So I installed the right screw back first which held the timer tight enough to then line up buzzer bracket with left screw hole in timer. Also note when seating the timer in place there are two protruding dimple things on the front which fit into two holes drilled in the dryer to be sure timer is properly oriented up and down so that it looks right when put back together with writing around knob pointer.

1.Removed lower dryer cover - two screws. 2.Tested heating element circuit including high temp cutoff, - Heating element circuit was "open" so I first tested the heating element - "open" so I removed one screw on the side and removed the element - element broken. 3.Ordered the part - good price and the deliver was great, three days. 4. Cleaned any lint up and Installed the new heating element and front panel 5. Heated right up - probably saved myself a good $100 for less than thirty minutes of work!!!!

Kill power to dryer from breaker box.Remove lint filter & 2 screws.

Then, turn timer knob clockwise, close door and listen if the drum is turning. Open door to see if drum turns. If both work, the job is complete.

Remove old filter
Vacuum out
Install new filter

Not a handyman but this was an easy and cheap fix. Now the automatic settings are working and drying much faster. Unplug machine, front panel has 2 spring clips toward the edges that you stick a flat tool into and pull on the panel to open. Pull off the electrical connections from the old sensors by the right side of the lint screen. Needlenose pliers help with the one farther up there. Then just pull the old ones sensors out, stick the new ones in, reconnect the electrical and get ready to live the good life with dry clothes that don't smell musty.

Took the top off and then front off and drum out . Replaced Drum roller and shaft support bolts.

Removed the dryer door, unscrewed lint vent.
