Control board repair for a circa 2003 Maytag Neptune Dryer displaying 88; model number MDE5500AYW
Maytag Control Board Part Number: 33003028
If the same 3300uf 16V capacitor is failing on your board and can't find one locally I purchased mine at Digikey.com. Digi-Key Part Number is P122318CT-ND and Manufacturer Part Number is EU-FS1C332B. Link: www.digikey.com/product-detai....
Cheers and good luck!

02:20 -- Seriously outstanding suggestion -Taking a quick photo is a tool of it's own! I heard of this perhaps a decade ago. One of those, "Why didn't I think of that!" type things. And w/ the proliferation of fairly powerful cameras in our phones, taking a quick pic & being able to review it easily, there's simply no excuse for not doing so as an insurance policy against effing up your workpiece. Thanks and subbed - you earned it.

Wish mine had been a capacitor, but everything looked fine when I pulled the board. But I have to say, I really appreciate this how-to video. Especially the reminder to take a picture before unplugging everything! Thank you! I put a re-furbished board in, and it is working now.

@RadioactvPanda Жыл бұрын

That fixed my dryer issue! It was the same as your issue. I replaced that capacitor and it fixed it. I have the exact same dryer as you and my capacitor was 16v 3300 uF. I also replaced those resistors since mine were burnt and beat up too. Those were 820 ohm 2 watt resistors for me. For anyone interested those were my values but check your resistances and values to make sure! Thanks again for the video and the lesson!

I want to thank you for this very helpful video. I have the same model dryer and experienced the same problem. I removed the circuit board from the dryer. The capacitor you described (3300uf) your problem with appeared normal and no leakage. I removed it and the smaller capacitor (1000uf) next to it and tested them. The 1000uf capacitor tested at 950 and the 3300uf capacitor tested at 500. I replaced the 3300uf with a new capacitor and the dryer is working again. 😃

I have the exact same model dryer. Mine starting glitching for about a year ago showing a PF (power failure) error code. After fiddling around the button it would eventually start but sometimes would cut off after about 5 minutes. After seeing this video I too noticed that the same capacitor had a small bulge at the end. I replaced it and now it's working. Purchased a soldering kit off of Amazon for about $16.99 and capacitors for $8.99. It was my first time soldering. Thank you for posting this video.

I had the same problem as in the video, and follow his footsteps exactly and the problem is solved. Thank you. My driers 88 code problem started with turning the breaker off/on at the main control panel. So, make sure when you turn off and on your breakers unplug the 220 voltage appliances.

Thanks for the video. Unfortunately it did not work for me. Still got the 8.8 after changing the capacitor. BTW my resistors were charred like those in the video. Seems like a design problem there. Time for a new dryer I guess.

@alekyeremeef1152 6 ай бұрын

Good attempt but i wonder how long it lasted , because i would be paying more attention to those resistors that were overheating indicating that there was a high current going through them. There might be an underlaying issue with the board.

In my case, my resistors weren't just scorched, one had cracked. So it must be very common for those to get way too hot.

If you remove the silver panel on the back (shown in the video) there is an instruction sheet taped to it with information on how to diagnose the dryer but if your control board is damaged then the diagnosis process will not help.

Hi Q, thanks for the video. How do I unplug the connectors? I was only able to remove the 5 pin connector but others are stuck. Don’t want to use brutal force.

@qwin1614 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! The connectors do require a bit of force to pull them off the pins. Pull the plastic connector with steady force with one hand while holding the portion encompassing the pins with the other and they should come off. Don't pull the wire as it may come out of the connector. Good luck!

Hey, Q! Did you replace both of the capacitor with exactly the same specifications as written on it? i.e. there are 2nof them, one is 3000 and the other one is 1000 (i think). We ordered just one size.

@donyarborough4561 Ай бұрын

I’m seeing that you put this up 4 years ago. Any chance of you confirming that in total you have 11 wires total connected to the board. Five on the right and 6 on the left. I have the same model that someone has worked on and the board is the same but they wired it differently. I’m short a black wire on the left side. I have the 5 on the right but the left side is entirely different with only 5 wires in total. I don’t have the wiring diagram with this unit. I’m wondering if I get another board how it will work being yours is the same model but it has an additional wire than mine does. I would appreciate any help. Thanks Don

@BillyLo Жыл бұрын

You can use a multi-meter to test the capacitor. Capacitors usually act as an open circuit and so if testing with a multimeter shows open, its probably good. A capacitor showing short across with a multimeter is definite gone.

Uncertain how to fix this, but you can try looking for the part number using the Maytag Part Finder website below and then doing a search on google using the part number to see if a refurbished one is available. You might need to find an entire front button panel as that button is probably not available by itself. Good luck! www.maytag.com/services/partfinder.html?aribrand=MAY&arian=Maytag

@qwin1614 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! I believe any 3300uF 16V capacitor with similar lead spacing and dimensions should work. Though if your dryer died during an electrical storm the entire board could be fried if it experienced a power surge. In that situation replacing the capacitor may not be the right solution if other circuits are damaged. If you wish you try the following link has a list of caps with similar specs as the out of stock Panasonic capacitor.

Sorry to hear. It's possible the new board has an issue and you may need to return it. The error code page taped to silver panel may have information about this error code as it may not be related to the board. There could be an issue somewhere else in the machine. Good luck!
