Do-It-Yourself Story

Our Maytag gas clothes dryer was not drying like it should/used to and was making a lot of noise. After researching online I figured the vent was partially blocked and/or the blower wheel was bad. When I took it apart, the vent had very little lint in the lower elbow exiting the back of the dryer but the blower wheel was loose on the shaft and was missing the clamp. I cleaned out the vent and put a hose clamp on the blower wheel to tighten it to the shaft and tried it again. The noise was gone, but it still didn't dry. I purchased and installed a gas valve coil kit and a cycling thermostat and the dryer is working like new again!!! I am so glad that I found this website with great info and a great selection of products at great prices.
