Maytag Neptune Dryer Repair - How to
Loretta is at it again... She recently contacted me about her MDE4000 dryer that was starting to get louder when it was running. You might recall that I came to her aid in 2006 when her Q6 triac and R11 resistor was damaged when the door latch wax motor failed on her MAH4000AWW. That repair created the Maytag Neptune Q6 R11 repair kit with wax motor.
In addition, I replaced her bearings and seal last year and it is still running smoothly. See Neptune Bearing and 12002022 Seal Kit for more information on replacing your Neptune bearings and saving a bundle.
I decided to create a video for you Neptuners on how to change the dryer rollers and belt. I was surprised how easy the machine was to take apart...
To order any other appliance parts you can visit www.washerbearings.com/parts to order replacement parts other than tub bearings and seal. Have your model number close by and you can look up any parts you need whether it is for your fridge, range, dishwasher and of course your washer and dryer.
Here is the video for you...
Let me know if this video helped you by leaving a comment below. I also put up a new site at Neptune Dryer to show the Neptune Dryer repair video and to offer the replacement roller and belt kit.
Until next time...

What a GREAT video. I can see that this repair is doable but I love the way you make it look simple- the sign of a master. Your assistance makes me believe that my Neptunes can last a long time.
Thank you very much for sharing your expertise.
Thanks for the awesome feedback! It sounds like videos are a great way to help Neptuner's repair their Maytag Neptune's and save a bundle! Jeff
Jeff,
I'm a servicer from NJ. A real easy way to install the drum(tumbler) is to leave the belt around it, & use the belt as a handle when you reinstall it. And I also thought I heard you say to oil the shaft of the roller? I wouldn't do that! This is a DRY bearing. Clean the shaft with some fine emory paper or sheetrock sanding paper, but don't oil it! Unless you use high heat turbine oil, it will gum up from the heat of the burner/element. I have a Neptune pair & have kept them all these years because of your site info. Keep up the great work! Steve
