YMEDC415EW1 Maytag Dryer - Instructions

thought the heating element was bad, once inside the element
looked good, tested continuity , tested good.
further test revealed I only had 110 volts at the wall outlet,traced problem to fuse blown in disconnect box under
the house.
Did not need the heating element.luckily parts select is taking the new element back since I did not use it.
Hope this review helps.

Perfect!

I have not received the parts yet waiting on the motor, can’t put the blower fan in without the motor, ordered it , Jan 23rd, still no motor, have to go to laundry mat, have you ever had to do that with 7kids, and you and your wife’s laundry, probably not, because you would have had your motor by now. Maybe you can help me with the part so I can redo a testimonial here for you. 19 days and still waiting

Took back cover off. Cleaned out the lint that had built up inside the dryer. Replaced the lint trap housing and lint chute seals. Also replaced the drying vent hose. Works great now.

I called an appliance repair company to do a diagnosis and was told the timer would need to be replaced. Parts and labor was quoted at $290. The dryer isn't worth that much. Found a video on this site on how to replace a timer for my model of dryer. Ordered the part for $116 and replaced it myself. The video instructions were exact step by step.

I removed the hex head screws from the back of the dryer and removed the back panel, after unplugging the dryer. I tested the various electrical components until I found that the upper limit temp fuse had gone out. Came to partselect.com and found the kit I needed and ordered it. When it came in, I replaced the upper temp limit fuse, and the other parts that came with the kit. I also, since the back was open, used the opportunity to vacuum out the blower fan and as much of the lint as I could get to. Dryer works great now!

I ordered the new handle and installed it in just a few minutes. Very simple--no tools required!

Your video of the door switch replacement makes this job easy! My recommendation watch the video and you will have the switch replaced in a short time! My dryer was older than the dryer in the video but the principal of repair is the same! My new switch replacement fixed my dryer so when the door is opened the dryer shuts off!

Good

Followed the video instructions that I was directed to through this site. The time it took me includes the time I used to vacuum out the back of the dryer and remove lint build up. The repair was very easy since the video provides all the information you need in an easy to follow format. I used my cell phone and paused when I needed to. Great site, great access to parts and great service. My parts were delivered in 2 days!

When the part arrived I opened it and just snapped it on.

Still wouldn't work! Push switch returned to you but have not received a refund yet. The repair was very easy. Tracking # 1Z 2R5 3A2 03 0025 9453 for returned switch.

Turned power off. Removed back panel. Unplug wiring harness’s to timer. Remove two screws holding timer in. Remove old timer. Install new timer. Reinstall screws holding timer. Plug wiring harness’s back onto new timer. Put back panel back on. Turned on power. Checked out timer. Great customer service.

First only replaced the high temp cut off switch which allowed the element to heat. However, after one heat cycle the switch would not reset. Then changed the thermostat (included in the kit). After tapping the cut off switch lightly to manually reset it, the dryer ran perfectly. Moral of the story: always change all parts included with a repair kit!

Removed two screws from lint trap and pried front of top up gently. Top hinges backwards which is convienent. Two more screws take the front off. Removed drum and old parts. Removed rollers etc. Per the instructions. Cleaned inside of unit with a shop vac.

Reassemble unit and test. Nice and quiet again and working well. Great service fro. Partselect.com.
