Chris B Milton , FL March 20, 2016 Appliance: Model ADE7500AYW Dryer was running but not heating The heating element had a break in the heater coils, so I replaced it with a new one from Appliance Parts Pros. I also replaced the thermal fusible link and thermostat switch because they were so cheap it just made sense to go ahead and do it while I was in there. I also cleaned every nook & cranny in the dryer, then cleaned out the vent piping- which was about 100% clogged. The video's of how to tear down a dryer were indispensable to this repair - along with APP's always having the right parts I need and fastest shipping in the known universe!

Douglas S Mesa , AZ May 17, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Electric Dryer MDE3758AYW Heat was too high I went ahead and ordered the element, and the 2 different thermostats not knowing exactly which one might be the problem. My My Maytag opens from the front and it was actually pretty easy to get into. Also gave me the opportunity to vacuum out the inside of the dryer. Pop the top off, remove the wires that connect the door switch (noting the colors and placement), take off the 2 inside nuts that hols the fron on, pull it forward and lift it off, 3 inside screws to take out to inside lint part (easy to clean), and you are all set. The element and thermostats are in the back of the dryer so you do need to reach in, from the front, to the back and remove the two screws that hold the element in. A flashlight helps. Also, I took a quick picture with my phone of the wires just to make sure I got them replaced in the right position. Pulled the wires, took out the 2 screws, and worked the element out of it's slot. The thermostats are located on the element so I put the new thermos on the new element, and slid the new element/thermos back into place and replaced the 2 screws. Put it all back together and it works fine. Take the time to clean out your dryer vent while the dryer is away from the wall. I used one of those long brushes with my shop vac.

Bobby G Springfield , MO November 07, 2016 Appliance: Model AMANA PLEA10AW Kept blowing the thermal fuse I replaced both the cycling thermostat and the hi limit thermostat along with a new thermal fuse and it seems to have fixed the problem. I thought it might be one of the thermostats but they both had continuity so I decided one of them must be faulty in some way so I just replaced both of them. I was very pleased with the prices and the quick shipping from Appliance Parts Pros. The parts were at my house in only a day and a half from when I ordered them.
