DG19CA Maytag Dryer - Instructions

My husband took off the front panel and noticed that the center of the wheel was melted. We went on to this website and confirmed the noise with other customers. We ordered the part - received it in 1 day and the dryer was repaired and back together within a 1/2 hr. Part was as is - istructions excellent.

removed the front panel, pulled out the drum, applied the new belt, reassembled, put in screws and voila.....the dryer worked.

Remove front door and remove Old Igniter and Installed new Igniter that fix the problem.

Unscrewed front panel. Pulled off unbroken wire connecter and popped switch and put new one in. Replaced front panel.

Replaced with new one

Given the age of my dryer, the repair wasn't exactly as proposed on the belt's packaging, but it provided a great drawing of how the belt should contact the motor drive, pulley wheel and drum at the same time. First, I took off the front cover of the dryer with a nut driver. I discovered that I had to put the belt around the drum first and then use my arms to hold the drum up as my hands simultaneously pulled the motor pulley tight and threaded the belt around the motor drive and pulley wheel. After not quite slipping the belt on correctly the first time, I was able to very easily do it on a second try. Had I gotten the belt on correctly the first time, repair would have taken ten minutes. Runs great!!

The blower had lost its key and was not attached to the motor. To do the repair: Remove the front cover, remove the lint screen assembly, remove the front of the blower housing. Use snap ring pliers to remove the blower wheel and install the new one. Reassemble and your done.

First remove 2 screws on bottom of front panel,pull panel out from bottom to remove. Then remove 4 screws,2 on each side to remove tub support. Then remove approx. 6 Screws on fan access cover to expose fan. Then remove snap ring and clamp on fan hub. Pull fan off and push new fan on and reverse procedure.

I removed the screws to the front panel which allowed access to the inside. There were four screws that held the drum in place. I removed the drum to have more working room. Once inside, I removed the screws, clamp and clips that held the blower wheel assembly in place. After removal, I replaced the old blower with the new one and installed the new belt. I reassembled everything and the dryer runs like a new one. Very easy job that saved me lots of money. Also, the diagrams on your site were very helpful.

The video from this site is perfect. Unplug dryer, remove front panel, unclip wires, remove next panel and pull the drum out. Replace drum support wheels using snap ring pliers (buy the pliers with changeable tips because the holes in the snap ring were pretty small on mine). Put it all back together. The trickiest part is getting the belt back on...just be sure it's not in the groove around the drum and pay attention to how to get it on the motor wheels. Good luck!

Simple I had my husband do it. This dryer must be 30 plus years old, couldn't bear to part with the Maytag.

Took off back panel, removed E-ring and what was left of the old pulley. Put new pulley and washer on.. replaced E-ring and wrapped belt around pulley. Replaced back panel... Dryer worked like new.

After locating the two screws (feel along the bottom of the front door panel) that holds the front panel, and figuring out how to take off the front panel ( lift up until the two clips connecting to the top panel comes loose), the rest of the repair was easy. Just a socket wrench to unscrew the igniter and disengage the wiring.

I removed the front cover and pulled the drum out. I removed the right drum roller and cleaned off the shoulder bolt and tested the roller. Next I put the drum back in place on the rollers and then put the new belt on. The hardest part is putting the belt on the motor pulley properly and making sure the belt is not twisted so that the smooth side of the belt is on the drum. Once I had the belt on the motor pulley correctly I was done. I put the front cover back on and tested it. It works great for a 27 year old Maytag De512.

Followed the video. Hardest part was getting the belt around the ideler pulley and motor pulley without seeing. But I got it! Thanks to this site you rock!
