How do you remove the Vent Screen Housing, something in our last drying load caught on interior housing piece and it is now bent inward at 90 degrees.
For model number MED6000AW0
PartSelect logo
Hello John, thanks for asking us! To access your Vent Screen Housing, you will need to start by unplugging the dryer. Remove the 2 or 3 screws on the top back that hold the main top in place and slide it toward the back and lift up and off. You will need to remove 3 or 4 more screws to unhook the control panel so it will roll off. Then remove the front panel by taking those screws out too. Once the front panel is off, unscrew the bulkhead to remove it, and then you should be able to access the housing to replace it. Unhook the old one, hook in the new one and secure it, and then reverse the steps above to put your dryer back together. We hope this helps and good luck with your repair!

My dryer gets warm but not warm enough to dry clothes what issue could this be?
For model number MED6000AW0

Hi Raphaela, thank you for contacting us. We have concluded that this issue is probably because of a clogged lint screen. We would recommend cleaning the dryer vent and the lint screen to fix the issue. If the lint screen is damaged, then you may need to replace the lint filter, part number PS17918475. We hope this solves your problem!

My dryer works fine, but the temperature, dryness level and wrinkle prevent do not light up. The numbers for the timer is working. When I touch the temperture, dryness level and wrinkle prevent there are noises that the machine makes, but because there are no lights its impossible to tell what level it is. Is this any easy fix or do I have to live with it?

very loud squeeling sound
The issue was the idler pulley. First I began opening up the front panel based on a youtube video but soon realized the model was slightly different and required a lot more items to remove. I saw the pulley in the back with nothing in the way so I put the front panel crap back on and removed the rear panel. There it was, very simple to remove and replace. I'm not looking forward to drum rollers though. Hopefully they're aren't as difficult as they appear.

Squeaky Dryer Noise
I purchased the dryer repair kit with the drum belt, wheels and idler pulley. I watched the instructional videos online and it seemed fairly straight forward. Breaking down the dryer and replacing the pulleys was easy enough. My problem began when I tried to feed the drum belt around the idler pulley. After finishing the job, the dryer would not turn and the sensor light stayed on. I thought something else was broken with the dryer and spent hours trouble shooting other problems that I was having. Finally I figured out that the drum belt was not installed correctly around the idler pulley. However, I could not get it properly installed from the front of the machine so I tried from the rear still with no avail. I finally had to fish the old belt out of the garbage can that I had thrown away earlier. I lined up the old belt with the new one in the kit and discovered that the new belt was much smaller, so I put the old one back on the drum. Here's the lesson I learned...make sure the belts are the same size before attempting to install. The old idler was responsible for the squeaking and that stopped but I am still using the same old drum belt. Hope it lasts.

My Dryer Was Not Heating Up.
I asked for advise, looked around and priced heating elements and thermostats. This was the best combo offered for the price given. It was shipped and received it very quick. Installed it and 5 minutes later, she was running like a champ!
