Ed October 22, 2014 Hello, I asked a question about exaust blower pulley coming off several times. appliance pro said to use locktite on pulley threads. i did this and it stayed on. Pulley was left hand threads. I turned drier on pulley and belt in place before locktite and pulley runs toward right hand thread which would thread pulley off, also noticed that fan turns same direction as pulley,looks like fan is turning backward,against the back of the cup of fan blade. Do you think dryer motor is running backward or is this normal. Thanks ed
1 Answer Hello Ed. As long as the fan motor is exhausting the air out of the back of the dryer, it is normal. Read More...
Ed October 20, 2014 I have a maytag dryer model medb800vqo. the pulley on top of blower has come off blower shaft several times in a year.i think pulley is left hand threads. I put pulley back on last night and belt back on, and turned dryer back on and pulley came off as soon as dryer started. the blower fan turns free. both the pulley and belt look fine.tightened pulley as tight as possible. I have ordered appliance parts in past, i like appliance partspro.com because you have schematics and part numbers,and parts arrive quick. thank you, ed
1 Answer Hello Ed. You need to put some Loctite on it and then let it wait for about 6 hours before running. Read More...

Joseh May 26, 2014 for Model Number WGD7400XWO The pulley (PS1487689) and belt for the motor to this Whirlpool dryer keeps coming off. How should it be properly installed? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Joseh, If the belt is properly installed the issue will be a bad blower bearing in the blower housing WPW10256512. If it is the tub belt that is coming off the issue will be the idler pulley WPW10547292. Read More...
Chad March 04, 2014 for Model Number maytag MGDB400VQO Dryer wont heat. Exhaust blower pulley and belt were off. Still no heat. What parts should I check for continuity? Thank you.
1 Answer Chad, you'll need to check the ignitor part number 279311, make sure it is glowing a bright white. If it is ok, then test all the thermal fuses/thermostats and make sure they are closed or 0 with a multi-meter. The flame sensor will read closed as well. If all of this is good, then you may have bad coils. Hope this helps, thanks. Read More...

Ive taken it apart and the blower when you spin it free hand makes somewhat of a roar, however the fan is not lose. thought may be a bearing or something.

Tim July 08, 2013 for Model Number maytag medb200vq0 dryer pulley-mtr 8544739 keeps coming off, and having put it back on a number of times now the threads on the screw coming out of the top of the housing are stripped. I know I need a new pulley-mtr, but how do I replace the shaft it screws on to? Do I have to replace the whole wheel?
1 Answer Tim, The pulley mtr attaches to the motor shaft and if the threading on the shaft is stripped then you will need to replace the motor of the unit. Read More...
