Maybe I missed seeing the brand of the machine. Many Maytag models can be opened by simply removing the two screws located low on the front panel. This opens the machine adequate for doing most repairs to the drying mechanism. ----- Original Message ----- From: robert Gilman To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, July 12, 2010 5:28 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Dryer Problem
Now just how does the top unsnap in the front.

I would start with the top. It should snap free from the front and hinge towards the back. Hopefully you can rotate the drum by hand untill you can reach the pin. If you are unable to do this then removing the front and pulling the drum out is called for. This will involve removing the belt and re stringing it when reinstalling. Hope you you can get it from the top.

I have a bobby pin stuck in the drum that is grinding into the drum. Can I just unscrew all the screws and get the back panel off and possible access the pin or will I need to take the top off. Thanks, Bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
