Hello Kenneth, welcome to FixYa.

I'll start by saying your post indicates it is a MDE6800 Maytag dryer. I believe based on your description, this is similar to what you'll be looking for...

We have an MDE6800AYW. One - macmarkus_995.jpg

If you'd like to post back with an email address I can send you a repair manual that can guide in the tear-down process. Let me know and we can go from there.

Once you've gain access to the inner cabinet you'll have little trouble replacing the tumbler/paddle...gaining access is the "need to know" part or hard part...though not that hard. If this isn't the part in question, let me know...it's just my interpretation based on the description.

**unplug the appliance and turn off the gas supply before attempting any service...safety first**

Let me know how you make out or if you require further assistance and I'll do whatever I can. Good luck.

Regards,

Macmarkus :)

    Regards,

    Macmarkus :)

Need to replace dispenser paddle. How do I remove these parts to get it out. Kenmore Model #10651122211
To remove the dispenser paddle from your Kenmore Model #10651122211 refrigerator, you will need to follow these steps:
  1. First, locate the dispenser paddle on the inside of your refrigerator door, near the ice and water dispenser.
  2. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry off the cover that is covering the paddle assembly. You may need to apply a little bit of force to remove the cover.
  3. Once the cover has been removed, you will be able to see the dispenser paddle assembly.
  4. Use a pair of pliers to gently remove the dispenser paddle from the assembly. You may need to apply a little bit of force to remove it.
  5. Once the dispenser paddle has been removed, you can install the new paddle by reversing the steps. Make sure that the new paddle is securely in place before replacing the cover.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

LG front load washer wd11029d drum paddle. Having trouble removing.
The drum paddles are screwed from the outside of the bowl. To access them, you have to completely strip the machine and remove the wash bowl. The paddles are rarely available as a spare part. You may be able to repair it or remove it. This will affect the wash action to a certain extent if you take it out. Its a big job.

Drum paddles replace
Assuming the paddles are attached with nuts/bolts I would suggest using Locktite. If that is not an option, lock washers. If the paddles do not attach using nuts/bolts, invest in some high end epoxy.

I just bought a new B6000C bread maker. I have not used it yet. The instructions say "push the paddle down firmly onto the shaft to secure in place". But, my paddles just sit loosely on the...
No, there is nothing wrong with your bread maker. The paddle is supposed to be somewhat loose so you can remove it after baking for cleaning. Don't worry your paddle and breadmaker are fine.

The drum paddles have came loose from the machine
Have all drum paddles come loose? Generally there is one anchor bolt accesed through on of the paddle holes, usually the third from the front. Press down and away from you towards the back of the machine and tighten the bolt
The paddles have slots on there underside and coresponding hooks on the drum of the machine, hence the "push down and away" action to hook up the paddles.

Hope this helps

Can the kneading paddle be removed before baking?
Hi,
Yes you can remove the paddle before baking. The cuizinart has a buzzer that sounds when to take the paddle out

If you want to take the paddle out you should make sure your machine has a pause feature so you don't lose any rising time.

Take pan out of machine, empty dough into a bowl, remove paddle, squirt the shaft in the bread pan lightly with veg oil (prevents sticking) then return the dough after final kneading time and before final rise.

Paddle fan shakes at high speed. How do i balance?
Generally speaking, all paddle fans shake to some extent but if yours seems excessive, you mave have a bent paddle bracket. Try unbolting ( usually 3 screws per paddle) the blade from the bracket while leaving the bracket attached to the motor.. Then run it up at high speed... If it still rattles a lot, you've got an out of tolerance bracket, if it runs pretty smooth, you can put the paddles back on and try it again. ( sometimes reseating the paddles and making sure the hardware is secure will solve your problem) If it turns out that your paddles are the cause of the problem, you can purchase replacement paddles from Home Depot or other home improvement stores.. Hope that helps...
