Bill for Model Number MED8000AW0 The lint filter housing on my Maytag MED8000AW0 is not coming off as easily as shown in the video for the Duet, which is similar, but has slight differences. The inner part (inside the drum) of my Maytag lint housing has 2 screws that are removed and the outer part also has 2 screws. Removing these 4 screws loosens the lint filter housing, but does not allow me to completely remove it. Looking down into the filter slot I can see the sharp tip of another screw holding the outer housing piece in place, but the head of this screw is not accessible on the outer jamb. The inner plastic housing piece is fitted together with the outer piece so I can't remove the entire housing to clean the drying sensor slots and vacuum out that part of the exhaust system. Do I have to remove the entire door and jamb panel to remove the inner (and outer) pieces of the filter housing?
Answer Bill, If you look at the very bottom of the grill, just to the left if you were looking from the front of unit 7 grill slots over from the sensor bars, it appears that this may be where the last screw will be located to remove. If there is no screw there then you may need to remove the front bulkhead to get the grill off. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, August 17, 2016
