broken door latch, door did not stay closed
Saved a lot of time by just using needle nose pliers to break the receiving end of latch off of the front of the dryer. No big deal if parts fall Inside, won't hurt anything. Then just pressed new part into front of dryer. No need to remove front dryer panel.latch piece on door was not broken so I left it alone. Took all of about 2 minutes.

The dryer door latch had broken.
The older latch was removed and the new one was inserted in to the same opening. It was great! We had the new latch within a couple of days after ordering the part. This worked out really well. Thanks!!

Broken Latch
The dryer latch had fallen into the dryer door itself and the door no longer stayed latched shut. I purchsed a replacement latch and simply popped it into the hole. No tools! I did leave the old latch to rattle around inside the door whenever it opens though.

Dryer door would not close
Sooooooo easy! Ordered the part on-line and it arrived the very next day! Watched the 'how to' video on-line and the fix was a breeze. Bought my Maytag dryer back in 1989 and this is the only problem it's had. For a repair just under $5.00 plus shipping? I'll take it!

Door catch broken.
I pried out the old one slightly and grabbed it with pliers. Quite possibly the metal catch dropped into the door section, but no problem. I pushed the new one into place with the side of the pliers. Probably 3 minutes time.

Dryer would not come on
When the dryer stopped working, I checked the two switches to see if they were good. The start button checked out OK but the switch on the door read bad. Ordered the part with the part number and put on when it arrived. Just a matter of disconnecting and reconnecting three wires. Very simple

P;atic latch in in door frame broke.
I removed two screws from the bottom panel,pulled bottom out, and lifted front panel off. Took pliers to back of the old latch to compress the expansion tabs, squeezed and removed. Pushed new one in untill it went through metal backing plate and snapped in place. Replaced the cover and screws. Opened door and took out two screws on the edge and one for the knob. Spread out door halves,used pliers to work out other latch part. Pressed in new part and reassembled. Works great for another twenty years!

Dryer not turning on.
Researched the common problem with "dryer not turning on", and tested the top three problems. Removed the dryer front casing and door, unbolted front dryer plate. Used a volt meter on two of the temp gauges, which were fine. Removed the upper back plate of the dryer to the wiring for the knobs and buttons. Used the volt meter on the dryer start button, which was also fine. Went back around to the front and removed the door switch. Tested it with the volt meter and bingo. Replaced that part, dryer works like normal.

the receiving side of the door latch broke
I entered the model number and make of the dryer, selected the door latch part and ordered. My order had a link to a video that explained installation. It was pretty easy, and I am a girl :)
