1 Answer Jim, There is not a thermal fuse on this unit. It only has a high limit which affects the heater and is mounted on the bottom of the tub under the unit. You can trace the wires from the heater and the blue wire with red stripe will go to it. Read More...
May September 09, 2018 How do I put this part in? AP6011687 it fell out when installing a new belt and heating element in my Maytag Electric Dryer Mod# MEDZ600TW1. I believe it is the lint clip? But do not know how to put it back in.
1 Answer May, This clip will slide in through the front of the duct which means you will need to remove the front panel. there will be a slit that this part will slide up into. Read More...
Abbey September 06, 2018 How far in is the clip supposed to be inserted? My dryer has a single slot. Does it go in all the way until just the curled end is positioned in the slot, or just 2/3 of the way (so that the left 1/3 portion as shown with the curled end sticks out)?
1 Answer Hello Abbey, The end of this part should not protrude from the opening. This part is designed to hold the lower end of the lint screen in position to prevent it from moving and making noise and so it can properly catch lint being removed from the fabric that is in the air containing the heat and moisture from the drying load.

Ken August 30, 2018 for Model Number WED9400SZ2 This is a repost of the question I just posted. NOTE: THERE IS A SINGLE SLOT, NOT TWO SLOTS. I am trying to figure out how to install the lint duct spring clip, part number WP8066208, correctly. If it's too far out, with the entire upper third of the part (the portion with the curled end and the slight zig-zag "jog" before the first large 45° bend) located outside of the duct, then there is no force against opposite wall of the duct to hold it in place and it just flops around and gets moved out of position when inserting/removing the lint screen. On the other hand, if I push the part farther into the duct so that just the curled end is positioned in the slot in the duct wall, (THERE IS JUST ONE SLOT), then the part easily gets pushed all the way into the duct and drops completely down into the duct. Comparing against the photo of the new part, it doesn't appear that any part of the spring clip has broken off (e.g., due to metal fatigue from the lint screen pushing it back and forth), and it doesn't appear that the part has been bent any more than the original configuration. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Ken, It sounds like, from the description of your problem, that you will need to replace the assembly W11129408. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...

1 Answer Ken, There are 2 slits in the front part of the ducting that one side of the clip will go in to and hook into place. The other end will just hang in there. You may have to disassemble the unit to put it back into place. You would feed it into the top slot with the flat end and then through the second slot and the hooked end will hook around the top slot opening. Read More...
Doris October 06, 2017 for Model Number WED9150WWO I have to replace the vent clip on my dryer. I only saw one slit for the clip but is there another one that I'm not aware of? Does the filter actually sit on that clip???
1 Answer Hell Doris. Yes, there is only 1 vent clip used in the unit. This clip clips inside of the lint duct assembly to prevent socks and other large items from contacting the blower wheel. The end with the curve made in it goes toward the front of the machine. Thank you. Read More...

Agrawal March 18, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore Electric Dryer Model 110 6774 1600 Your repair videos are so helpful. Is there a video on replacing lint clip AP 3918040? By the way, our dryer runs without this clip. Is there a chance of something going bad or electrical shock? Thank you for your time and help.
