This tutorial saved me a ton of time and money. I ordered a replacement parts kit for $65. Arrived next day. Took me just over an hour to disassemble, clean out, swap the broken parts and put back together. The dryer is running better than ever and I’m a much less stressed mama. Moving mountains…of laundry! Thanks for this!

Absolutely fantastic! It seems like every appliance in our house broke the same week so while my husband was busy fixing three other things, I tackled the dryer. I could not have done it without your tutorial. Thank you so much for posting!

God bless you for taking the time to care and post this video for us. You are good man, fine sir.

This was a huge help. I have the 5000, and I was able to fix it myself with your instructions.

It was very smart of you to replace the other components that were not broken as preventative maintenance given their age and minimal expense.

Thank you, this is very helpful. I am having a different problem with the Maytag 3000 dryer right now but this video is very help full. I will be replacing these parts on my 10 year old dryer as well. Thank you

I have the 5000 series and it is exactly the same. You helped me immensely. I replaced the thermal cutoff kit a year ago and my heating element looked like yours. Dryer worked. Now my element looks like a volcano. I should have replaced everything a year ago and saved time. Thanks for the great video and knowledge.

Great video!!! Hugh help. Made it easy. Thanks!!

I have the exact same dryer and the same problems im going to order a new heater and do it my self step by step thank you for all your help

Thanks for the info we watched and was able to fix our Dryer you did a great Job explaining each part Keep up the great wk

I have a 4000 series and this video was a life saver!!! Thank you!!

Thank you, sir. Not sure of the model number, but we have a 3000 series dryer that quit on Friday. Same exact problem statement as with yours. Ours lasted 12 years before the first failure. Pulled the heating element just like you described and found the exact same thing with ours. Local appliance parts house had one in stock, so I had it up and running on Saturday. Probably pair more than you did, but minimized the down time.

Absolutely great! Day after Christmas the dryer breaks this helps

thanks, mine had a lip on the far end of the heater tube, needed to pull back and lift it a bit. had I ordered the correct element, would have been a great fix... now I wait for correct one.... still saved a service call!

This is identical to mine, so this video is exactly what I needed. I just changed out the thermal fuse this evening and that didn't do it, so on to what you did here. I gotta order the parts, but I live in Arizona, so maybe the shorter trip means it won't arrive bent up. 😅

Great video and explanation!!! I was able to change this myself and got the part at local appliance store.

This is a great video that you provided. However when I watched other dryer repairman test the thermostat and heating element they make it look so much more easier than you did. They just basically test for continuity and that will show them exactly what failed instead of taking everything apart like you did and you made it seem so complicated. I understand that you’re trying to rebuild the whole entire heating assembly. What you did is like changing the tires on your car when the tires still have threading and is still good. You should’ve just change the fuse that blew and keep using that heating element that still works to preserve the new one that you ordered. You can be used at a later time.

Thanks!!! Fixed it in 15 mins 👍

I want to thank you so much, it worked. Took me way to long to take apart and put together but we finally have heat. Amd this mom of 6 can do laundry. I am noticing this squeaking noise now and am worried? Do you think it could be a screw loose, that I didn't tighten all the way? Now that I listen more, maybe a scrapping? It's constant though. I guess I'm not sure what else it could be? Thank you again.

Nice Job again! .... You are now officially known as "The Maytag Repairman." I'm surprised the heating system of the MAYTAG needs so much maintenance, Do you think the burned wire was caused by failure of the fuse to open in the circuit? What turns the drum? ... belt; direct drive? Fortunately, , the only maintenance I have had on my 1982 Sears KENMORE electric dryer was the drum belt in 2005. I

Thanks. I have to do this this week.

This also worked with Maytag 2000 series

Thank you. 🎉

Great tutorial! I just discovered this issue with my Maytag 3000 series last night. After watching your video, I feel pretty confident about doing the work myself. Could you post a link to where you purchased the heating element replacement kit? Thanks!

I have a maytag 3000 dryer ...bought a cheap heating element on ebay for 20 dollars or so .. didn't last long ..I'm going with the genuine part this time even if it costs more

Great step by step! Thank you. I definitely need the heating element, but wouldn't mind the bundle that you got. Do you happen to have the link that you ordered all the parts from? Was it Amazon?

I need some help! I put in the new heating element, thermostat and fuse but I can't figure out how to put the filter housing cover back on. Mine is a 5000 series but it looks exactly like this one when opened up. I took off the filter fan housing cover off to clean up the lint (just like in the video, it was a good thing to clean that mess up!) However, I'm having trouble getting the housing cover back on due to the long flat bent metal piece that goes through the back of the housing cover to the inside. Which was does it go? How did you reinstall it? At 2:28 in the video it is the piece that you say "I don't know why that's loose". And then when the Drier is reassembled, at 16:14 you say "I didn't need to pull this off" the housing is back on. I need to know how you reinstalled it!

Hello, can you not come over and do mine? I cleant the vent and behind the dryer. Plugged it back in. No heat! Before that, it just worked fine for years… I am a woman..I would hate to take the whole thing apart 🙄🤪 How much was the heating element? Thank you! Great video!! You know, what you are doing… Stay safe, stay warm! Greetings from Oklahoma

Well seems like I going to save some money tomorrow I thanks a lot

Mine 3000 series still kicking maybe 15 years. The idler pully, that's the weak link. Maybe three so far replaced.

Great video!

thank you for tutorial

Great video...just curious, what steps would I do if the start button stoped working? In other words, it only starts the dryer if it is pushed in with force. My wife has noticed the button pulling back into the machine when the button is pressed “hard” to force start it as if it will break or become unusable... would you know the cause of this problem? Thank you in advance...

Thanks for the video! My element had a clip in the back that took a bit of extra pulling to get past. I replaced all the parts that came in the package from Amazon. Why not, right?

Good video

Our Maytag 3000 Series is a natural gas unit. This is helpful to learn what to expect somewhat. I will check the vent then probably go in for a look? Any advice for the NG gas unit? Thanks buddy. Oh, I'll check for parts kit might look like. 👍

Hi Mr. G, where did you get the new parts from? would you be able to send the link? hoping to hear back from you soon!🙏🏻🙏🏻

So how do you tell which is pos/neg side on these sensors of we replace? The thermostat doesn't appear to be labeled as such.

Thank you

So, I got all the way to pulling the heater out. It won’t come out. I am tugging (while trying not to get sliced up by metal) and it won’t come. Any suggestions?

This is fhe exact dryer I have. I got an error code f1. So I got a thermal fuse. Still doesn't work. It powers on and whrn I push the start button it just clicks inside. Any ideas!? I'm at my wits end.

Please i need the link to order the parts, thanks

Where did you order the kit from ?

Mine is a series 5000. The heater seems to be attached in back and does not slide out. Any advice?

I had same model of your. I replaced all parts but still no heat. Any suggestion? Thanks

were did u order the new heater from amazon?

How long is everyone noticing the new element smells like burning metal?

Is this electric or gas heater?

I have a 2000 series Maytag dryer that’s not heating . I need help .

Where did you purchase the parts? Can you put the link

Súper !

Hi my Maytag it won’t. Dry also but looks little different then your my 2007

how about kit numbers

This heater design is very poorly made , and goes to show you where manufacturers are doing lately maximum profit and no Quality . Thats why we should bring manufacturing back to north America . So you are not buying fire hazard and putting it in your house .

oh yeah, and it stinks. I can smell it....I can smell it, and it stinks.

I didn’t even watch this ?????? Why does it say I did

Why did you not test voltage at the element before ordering??? Seems your a parts replacer and you drive me nuts so I’m not gonna finish watching this
