Maytag Neptune dryer Resistor Replacement

Introduction

If your Maytag Neptune Series MCE8000AYW, 34 Inch Electric Drying Center with 7.3 Cu. Ft. is not functioning properly, use this guide. This guide helps users who have a dryer that heats up but does not dry by guiding them to change their dryer’s resistor. The resistor helps as a drying element of the machine and replacing it would be a favorable option to make it work properly again.

In these kinds of cases, when users put their clothes in the dryer, the clothes get some heat but do not dry properly and that is mainly because of problems with the drying element. Sometimes people/technicians use ammeters to check if things are functioning properly or not.

Before beginning, make sure to unplug your dryer completely and disconnect from any external power source.
