Gas dryer I have a maytag gas dryer about 2 years old. I will open the door and there will be sweat or small puddles of water on the bottom of drum, what causes this and how can i stop it? Thanks , A.J.

This CAN happen (and usually DOES) when your fridge is in dire need of a COMPLETE thawing. You'll need 24 hours to store your perishables. Open doors and UNPLUG and let it thaw. You CAN hurry the process with a hair dryer, but be sure #1: you use standard precaution against electrical shock if dripping water enters your hair dryer, and #2: DO NOT overdo use of the hair dryer and melt platic parts that'll make you sorry. :)

Hello- You will need to have the Coils replaced, they are not holding the valve open consistently, it is a fairly common issue and presents itself as you describe. The parts are fairly inexpensive but you should have a Tech out to change them for you. These are great dryers and I would have the Tech look through it while it's opened up...drum wheels and belt should be checked for ware. Hope this helps, best regards.

The water comes from condensation inside the dryer ducting and drum. Heavy condensation can occur when the dryer exhaust ducting becomes clogged.

As your dryer runs, it exhausts warm moist air from your clothing. If lint becomes trapped inside the ducting, or if the ducting is kinked, this moisture has no where to go, but condensate inside the walls of the ducting and/or drum. If lint becomes accumulated it can act as a sponge and absorb this moisture.

unplug the dryer,open the door,remove the two screws holding the door on and remove the other two screws opposite them,take off the door and pull the front panel off,spin the drum until the baffle you are trying to repair is in the bottom right hand corner and you can get at it like that

gas has an oderant added to it and in your dryer in the cool down it allows most of the gas to be removed.if you smell gas when the dryer is off and empty, then you have a gas leak.thanks karl

Maytag Epic is leaking water from the bottom about 8 or 9 inches from the front door back on the right side. Is there and thing i can do. It only about 2 years old or less.

On the right front and left front of the panel there are 2 phillips head screws. They are about 4 inches up from the floor. Remove these 2 screws,lift the door panel out then down to dislodge the top clips. Remove the door switch wires and set the door aside. Remove 4 screws from the front drum support. @ on the right,2 on the left. Remove the drum support.Install the belt around the drum. The smooth side of the belt goes against the drum. Re-attach all the parts in front. Remove the belt access panel on the rear of the dryer on the bottom right side facing the dryer to arrange the belt around the motor pulley and tension roller.

the drain in the back of the freezer is probably full of ice. you need to pull out panel and use heat from a blow dryer to unplug the drain. then take a small gauge copper wire long enough to extend into the drain a couple of inches and loop it around the black heating element then when it goes yhrough defrost it should keep this from reaccuring

reassemble in reverse order

OK, this one's a few years old. First, of course, disconnect power to the machine. Second, remove the two phillips head screws, one at L and one at R near the bottom corners of the front panel. Third, pull the bottom of the front panel toward you and unhook it from the dryer's top. Swing it to the side. You do not have to disconnect the wires to the door switch. Fourth, remove the four 5/16 hex head screws holding the drum supports and set it aside. Fifth, put belt around the drum. The smooth side of the belt touches the drum. Sixth, belt goes to the motor drive pulley and then around the belt tensioning idler pulley. Seventh, put the drum support part back on and turn the drum by hand to make sure the belt tracks OK and has no twists in it. Eighth, finish reassembly and test. Note: genuine Maytag belts usually have installation instructions on the back of the package, with a couple diagrams.
