MDE3706AKW Maytag Dryer - Instructions

Follow the instructions on this webside

Went to YouTube and put in good.. did not fix the problem with the dryer but it has a new belt on it now!

disassembled the entire dryer drum and front bulkhead plate. Installed belt and replaced drum on rollers and positioned idler pulley .Video was very helpful in positioning drum and belt onto idler pulley. More trouble with the existing dryer vent replacement after repairs were complete

The front of the dryer needed to be taken off, the drum needed to be taken out and the belt installed on the wheel structure.
I was very pleased at how fast I received the part after ordering it! I will definitely use this site again when ordering replacement parts!

The dryer was squealing, so I looked videos on how to take the dryer apart. After I got it apart, I spun the roller wheels, the motor, and the idler pulley, and only the idler pulley gave an indication that it was sticking or not spinning appropriately, so I ordered the part and replaced it. And sure enough, it was the problem after all!

Removed front cabinet panel, removed lint/front drum panel, removed drum and belt. Removed spring from idler lever, replaced idler lever. Installed drum with drive belt, reinstalled front lint/drum cover, reinstalled front panel.

very easy after the learning curve. I ordered this thermal fuse on Friday morning and got it Monday by 11:00 am. I love this kind of service. I will use this company again.

After finding the culprit was the vent duct no longer connected to the internal drum duct, and cleaning the whole inside of the cabinet out. Must be a dryer made on friday or monday as no clip or screw to keep the two pieces together. Caused it to vent inside the unit. Pulled the bottom off, key is to remove the tension clips that hold the front panel on and then pull it off as there were additional tension clips holding it together. Unscrew the two screws with a nut driver that hold the thermal Fuse part. Change out one wire at a time to keep them aligned properly. Screw it back on, reattach bottom and start it up.

I unscrewed the door catch and pried out with some resistance the strike part. Screwed in the catch and pushed in the strike. Closed door. Voila!! Back in business with assurance.

Thermostat failed and would not regulate temperature, thus blowing out high limit thermal fuse as it should, after melting the wire connecting the two components. After replacing both items and the melted wire, I cleaned all the vent ducts to assure that they were clear. The appliance then worked as good as new.

Well tried to find this simple part around Columbus and even maytag website no luck.Parts select had it to go and arrived earlier than expected.Fixed it less than 5 minutes works great.taken longer to put the light bulb back in,Really like the accuracy and quick response from parts select.If I had called a service tech probably would have cost $50.00 or more for a part that cost a little over $3.00 and saved this site in case I need to order other parts.Thank you

ordered new filter and it came the next day.
we are back in business.

thank you

My 11 year old daughter broke the door clasp to the dryer by repeatedly slamming it trying to get it to close. I told her to go down stairs write down the make model and serial number and come back up and find a place to buy it online. I left with instructions not to use the computer for anything else until the part was found. Less then 15 minutes later I came back because I heard giggling. She was chatting but had found an exploded view of the door and the part. She was very pleased with herself! We bought it and it arrived a few days later. I saw the empty box. She had opened it and taken it down and installed it herself. A good lesson, for her and me

You were easy to find on the internet. Your site was easy to navigate. Your prices just a little high but ok. But your prompt attention to my need was outstanding. I ordered on Saturday and received product on Tuesday. GREAT JOB!!!!!!! If I need more supplies I will definitely use you again. Thank you Lori

It wasn't really a repair at all. However, our original lint filter had gotten a hole in it. We tried going to the store we bought the dryer at, but the part was going to be more expensive and time consuming to get. That's when we decided to try to find it online. Partselect.com was user friendly and easy to navigate to find what I needed. The price was great, as well! Thank you!
