How to Take Off the Front of a Maytag Dryer
- 1). Disconnect the power supply to the Maytag dryer by unplugging the power cord from the dryer electrical outlet. Move the dryer away from the wall 3-feet to have room to work behind the dryer.
- 2). Use a 10mm nut driver to remove the two screws that secure the top panel to the rear panel. Lift the rear of the top panel up and slide it off of the Maytag dryer by pulling the top panel toward the back wall.
- 3). Locate the heater board and cover on the left side of the dryer as you look at the dryer from the front. Remove the two screws securing the heater board cover with a Phillips-head screwdriver. Lift up the cover and remove the cover from the Maytag dryer. Disconnect the two black and white wire wiring harnesses from the heater board. The harnesses will pull straight off of the heater board.
- 4). Remove the four screws on top of the control console that secure the control console to the Maytag dryer cabinet with a Phillips-head screwdriver. There is one screw at each end and two screws toward the center top of the console. Rotate the console down and set the console on top of the drum. This will prevent having to disconnect any other wires from the control console.
- 5). Open the Maytag dryer door and remove the two screws in the bottom of the door area with the Phillips-head screwdriver. Close the dryer door. Use the Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screws that secure the top of the front panel to the dryer cabinet.
- 6). Pull the top of the front panel toward you slightly and reach your hand between the front panel and the drum. Grab the interior light harness and separate the harness from the interior light by pulling the harness straight up.
- 7). Grab each side of the front panel and lift the panel off of the three retaining tabs across the bottom of the panel. Set the front panel out of your way until it's time to reassemble the Maytag dryer.
