Traps lint and debris during drying cycles to prevent exhaust clogs and maintain efficiency. Replace when torn, damaged, or not catching lint properly.
This was a Maytag DE312 actually a Whirlpool labeled as Maytag) and is 27 years old. Replaced motor, drive belt and drum rollers. One tricky part was the motor because the new motor comes with integral starter and it was necessary to cut off existing female spade connectors on some wires and crimp on new connectors. Instructions were adequate but need to be carefully followed and a decent electrical stripping and crimping tool must be at hand. I bought a new motor drive pulley because another... Read more

I replaced the gasket. Removing the old one was not easy. I used a razor knife to cut out most of it. And then I used rubbing alcohol to soften the remaining glue and scrapped it out with a small blade screwdriver Read more

I ordered the new hinge and the cap they said would be needed, took the door apart and installed new hinge. Only problem, wish they told me I needed 4 of the caps, for one hinge and each cap was 11.95 x 4...pretty spendy. Fortunately I was able to reuse 3 of my worn ones for now. Read more
Idler pulley assembly mounts near the motor to maintain tension on the dryer belt. Replace if the pulley wheel is cracked, worn, or no longer rotating.
Our dryer was making such a load noise that we deemed it unusable. We weren't sure if something would burn up if it continued like it was. So I checked a few articles on the internet and everything pointed to most likely the drum belt. Ours looked a little worn but not really that bad so I got the part. I then followed the repair video that AppliancePros had posted for my model (which was great) and installed the belt. Still squeaking. So I went on to #2 on the list of possible problems, the...

Dryer heats for a few minutes then won't fire again until cool? Cycling thermostat regulates temperature during drying cycles. Common DIY repair.
I looked at online repair videos on how to fix a Maytag dryer. When I knew what parts I needed, I could not find any local supply stores for the part. It was late Friday afternoon when I ordered my parts on AppliancePartsPros.com It stated Standard delivery was two business days. So I expected my parts to arrive on Tuesday. To my great surprise, the parts arrived on SATURDAY. Totally shocked, but extremely pleased. Read more

Dryer won't start or stops heating? This thermostat and thermal fuse kit fixes no-heat and no-power issues. Easy 30-minute repair with video guide.
I posted the following on the Facebook page ; SOoooo my 10 year old clothes dryer stopped and like almost everyone else I just figured it's shot, burned up, gotta get a new one. Well, due to a few bumps in the road I cannot afford another problem. My 2 vehicles are not running and with one being in the shop for 3 weeks and not being able to afford a rental car anymore this dryer was another headache. It sat for weeks and laundry started piling up. While looking online for sales somehow I... Read more
Fix a dryer that won't shut off or has a timer that won't advance. This timer control manages cycle duration. Moderate DIY difficulty, 30-45 minutes.
The replacement from AppliancePartsPros was a perfect match at a good price. The site also provided enough information to be pretty certain the timer was the source of our problem. Once I swapped out the timer the dryer ran perfectly again. The job was very easy except for 1 problem. The timer is mounted to the control panel using 2 pinch/spring clips, 1 above and 1 below. The above clip was easy to compress and release using either standard pliers or needle nose pliers. But the below... Read more
Dryer not heating or blowing cold air? The heating element converts electrical energy to heat for drying. Most DIYers complete this repair in 45-60 minutes.
The heating element had a break in the heater coils, so I replaced it with a new one from Appliance Parts Pros. I also replaced the thermal fusible link and thermostat switch because they were so cheap it just made sense to go ahead and do it while I was in there. I also cleaned every nook & cranny in the dryer, then cleaned out the vent piping- which was about 100% clogged. The video's of how to tear down a dryer were indispensable to this repair - along with APP's always having the right... Read more
Evaporator coils freezing up or freezer not defrosting? A faulty thermistor may be the cause. This temperature sensor regulates defrost cycles. DIY repair.
I tried to buy a new refigerator, but strangely none of the major stores had anything I wanted in stock. The earliest delivery date for a new unit was over a month away. At that I decided to try and keep this one running. I did online research into common refigerator problems. I found the cooling coils in the freezer were covered in a block of ice and frost. The refigerator was not going through a defrost cycle. With a hair dryer I thawed out the coils. The refigerator worked fine for... Read more
