Dave B July 09, 2015 for Model Number MDE5500AYQ I have a maytag dryer MDE5500AYQ. While in "air fluff" mode it starts every time. While in "time dry" or "sensor dry" mode the drum will turn 2 or 3 inches and I get a PF fault. I have replaced the motor I ordered from you but have the same symptom. I disconnected the heater relay leads (RL2, blk and pu) thinking the heater may be shorting out but same issue. Once I start the dryer in "air fluff" mode I can switch back to either of the other modes and it works great for the rest of the cycle.
1 Answer Hello Dave, You need to check the unit for bad wiring. If the wiring is bad, you will need to repair it. If the wiring is good, you will want to look for a short in the control relay on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Dave July 03, 2015 I have maytag dryer model mde5500ayq serial 62521005cv and I need a motor. I see 2 motors listed for this model, ap5272723 and ap4043081 (threaded shaft). Which one do I need?

Richard October 07, 2014 for Model Number MDE5500AYW There appears to be two different replacement motors. I suspect a change during the production years. Perhaps both Model # and Serial # would help to determine the correct replacement motor (AP4043081 or AP5272723). Model # MDE5500AYW Serial # 62426740CE.
1 Answer Richard, the replacement motor listed for your model/serial is part number WP33002795. Thanks! Read More...
John W April 08, 2014 for Model Number MCG8000AWQ Hi, I have a Maytag DC Model # MCG8000AWQ . I believe it is a series 14 since this number is under the model number. Serial# 14254956GL. I am in need of the motor pulley, the picture looks different than my original part. The new part shown has a hex on each side. Mine has a bell on the motor side approximately 1-1/4" in diameter with a hex on the outside (away from the motor - towards the rear of the machine). Will the new part shown work or is this the wrong one? Some specific information: The motor shaft on the pulley side is left handed thread. How can we be sure that the pulley we order has a left handed thread? Do you need any more information? Thanks.
1 Answer John, according to the model number given the motor pulley available for your appliance is part number WP31001535. Thanks! Read More...
Dan February 16, 2014 for Model Number mdg5500aww Dryer hummed but no start. Rotated drum then it worked but then a squealing noise. Replaced all three rollers and belt. Worked for a day but now seems a little slow and has a smell to it. I assume I am losing the motor but just wanted an opinion, Thanks
1 Answer Hello Dan. Yes, it sounds like the motor is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Lvknuckledragger February 16, 2014 for Model Number MDG5500AWW The pulley on the drive motor broke. Can I replace the pulley or does the motor have to be changed? The motor still operates properly.
1 Answer Hello! You'll need to replace the drive motor, the manufacturer does not offer the pulley separately. We'll need your appliance serial number to determine the correct part number needed for your model. If you are still needing help please obtain this information and repost for further assistance. Thanks! Read More...
Vincent November 30, 2013 for Model Number MDE9206AYW My dryer is louder than normal. It will run for a while but will shut off before the cycle is over. As soon as it shuts off, I can not restart it. If I wait for a few minutes, I can restart it and it will run for the rest of the cycle (as of now). I checked the blower. The wheel turns the drum smoothly and easily and nothing is clogged in it. Is the motor going bad? (I don't know if this will help or not, but I just replaced the belt and both rear drum rollers last month because it was making a squealing noise when it started. That noise went away after I put the new parts in.)
1 Answer Hello Vincent. It sounds like the rollers may be bad or the felt seals. If all is good, replace the motor on the unit. Something is binding or overheating on the unit. Read More...
Dave L. July 28, 2013 for Model Number MDE5500AYW My Maytag dryer humms when turned on. I replaced the belt but still has same condition. When I manually close the door switch and rotate the tumbler by hand for a quarter of a turn then the tumbler runs and the dryer operates fine.
1 Answer Hello Dave, The start winding in the motor has failed. You will need to replace the motor assembly to correct the issue. The motor you will need is determined by the first two numbers in the serial number. There are two series for this application. If your serial number begins with 40 or lower, you will need to order part number (AP5272723). If your serial number begins with 41 or higher, you will need to order part number (AP4043081).
