The blower wheel had separated from the threaded insert. This poses two problems in the beginning. How much of the dryer I have to disassemble to get the wheel off, and will the wheel be able to be removed with it in place? 1) Take as much of the dryer as you can apart. Remove up to the drum so that you can access the housing that encloses the blower wheel. For the model MEDX700XL0 Maytag that requires removing the top, the front lower and front upper covers. Most of this can be taken care of with a quarter inch drive socket and a phillips head screwdriver. You will need a star bit for the top two screws of the front cover that are covered by the top. I would have videoed this but there was far to much cursing involved. Once you are to the drum removal get it out of the way and then you will be able to access the motor shaft that mounts the blower wheel. In my case since the wheel had separated from the insert you will need to cut the wheel out of the way so that you can access the insert. I used a dremel tool with a cutting ball mill to work my way around the wheel spines so as too remove the wheel. Also the same procedure will need to employed to get the remainder of the wheel off of the insert. Once you have accessed the insert you will be able to use an adjustable wrench to hold the shaft in place while you utilize pliers or vise grips to remove the insert from the shaft. Once the insert is removed you are are home free except to reassemble what you took apart. This is not a difficult task, just time consuming and requires patience. I place it as difficult as if you watch any of the videos available they do not address this model of dryer, nor the challenges entailed with getting this blower wheel off. This is irritating as not all dryers are assembled nor disassembled the same, so lets not assume that they are in our videos. In the end $50 for the wheel and a few hours of work was well worth not having to purchase a replacement dryer. Be methodical in your disassembly and reassembly and have everything on hand at the start and this will go fairly smoothly.
