Maytag Dryer Parts

Dryer won't start or overheats? A faulty high-limit thermostat breaks the heating circuit to prevent damage. Easy 5-10 minute DIY replacement fix.

This is the control knob assembly for the appliance's control shaft. It lets you select settings by turning the shaft without tools. A worn or cracked knob can slip, spin freely, or make it hard to set temperatures or cycles.

• Rotates the control shaft to adjust settings
• Replaces knobs that are cracked, stripped, or hard to turn
• Helps restore precise selection of temperatures and cycles
• Common symptoms include a loose knob, no response when turning, or difficulty gripping

• Disconnect power and allow hot surfaces to cool before service
• Pull the old knob straight off the shaft; avoid prying against the panel
• Align the new knob with the shaft flat and press firmly until seated
• Test operation through the full range of settings

This replacement cover restores the appliance's finished appearance and protects internal components from dust and debris. It's a direct-fit exterior trim piece designed to replace a cracked, broken, or missing cover. What it does:

• Protects internal components and wiring from debris and accidental contact
• Restores the appliance's cosmetic appearance and helps maintain sealing
• Helps reduce dust buildup in the covered area
• Replaces damaged or missing trim that can expose sharp edges or hardware

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off circuit breaker) before beginning work
• Basic hand tools may be required; follow for panel removal/replacement
• Handle carefully to avoid scratching the finish and watch for sharp edges
• Replace with manufacturer-recommended fasteners

Dryer won't heat or start? A failed thermostat breaks the heating circuit. Common DIY fix—test for continuity with a multimeter. Typical repair time: 30-60 minutes.

Supports and pivots the hinged dryer top panel for service access. Replace if cracked, broken, or causing wobble, scraping, or alignment gaps.

Fiberglass-reinforced door seal that restores airtight closure to maintain consistent temps and reduce energy waste. Replace if torn or compressed.

This replacement key restores operation of a factory-installed lock on select appliances, letting you securely lock or unlock a door, lid, or compartment when the original key is lost or damaged. What it does:

• Operates the keyed lock cylinder to lock and unlock the appliance compartment
• Restores access when the original key is missing, bent, or broken
• Helps keep contents secure by re-enabling the lock function

• Insert fully and turn gently—do not force the cylinder
• If the lock is stiff, clean the keyway; use only manufacturer-approved lubricants if needed
• Disconnect power before any related service; keep the key out of children's reach

Dryer not heating? This heating element restores warmth to both high and low heat cycles. DIY-friendly repair takes about 30 minutes with basic tools.

This is a mechanical defrost timer that controls the automatic defrost cycle of the refrigerator. It periodically shuts off the compressor and energizes the defrost heater so frost can melt, helping maintain proper cooling performance.

• Cycles the unit between cooling and defrost at set intervals
• Stuck or failed timers can cause warm temperatures, heavy frost, or continuous running
• Can also cause short-cycling or no-cool if contacts fail

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access is typically from the control housing or rear service area; note wire positions before removal
• Replace one-for-one with the same terminal orientation; do not force the cam
• After install, allow one full cycle to verify defrost operation

This time-delay fuse protects the appliance's power circuit by opening when current exceeds a safe level while tolerating brief inrush current. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power once the root cause is corrected. What it does:

• Protects the line and control circuits from shorts and overloads
• Time-delay design helps prevent nuisance opening during startup surges
• When open, the unit will be completely dead—no display, lights, or response
• Repeatedly opening usually indicates an unresolved electrical fault that needs diagnosis

• 1 time-delay fuse

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; some appliances can retain dangerous high voltage
• Replace only with the same type and rating specified by the manufacturer
• Inspect the fuse holder and wiring for heat damage or loose connections before reassembly
• If the new fuse opens immediately, stop and diagnose the underlying cause; never bypass or upsize a fuse

Dryer won't tumble or makes loud grinding noises? This drive motor restores smooth rotation when the original is worn, seized, or burnt out.

Replacement drum support roller for dryers. Mounts on the axle to support the drum and enable smooth rotation. Replace if worn, cracked, or noisy.

This protective cover shields and guides the appliance's water line at the back, helping prevent kinks, abrasion, and vibration. Replacing a damaged or missing cover helps protect the tubing and supports consistent water flow. What it does:

• Protects and routes the water supply tubing to reduce rubbing and wear
• Helps prevent kinks or pinches that can restrict water flow
• Keeps the line secured to minimize vibration and rattling
• Common signs include a cracked/missing cover, exposed/kinked tubing, leaks, or reduced water flow

• 1 water hose cover

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Pull the appliance forward for access; remove any screws/clips securing the old cover
• Note the tube routing; install the new cover without pinching the line
• Restore water and power, then check for proper flow and any leaks

Terminal box encloses the power cord connection area at the rear of your dryer. Replace if cracked, damaged, or worn to protect wiring and connections.

6-foot flexible metal duct connects dryer exhaust to wall vent. Replace if crushed, torn, disconnected, or missing to restore proper airflow path.

Dryer lint screen door provides access to the lint filter. Replace if cracked, broken, or won't close properly. Verify fit with your model number.
