How do I take the door apart on my Neptune mce8000 to replace the belt

Belt is stretched out and slipping on drum, pulley or both. Time to replace it.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

Though I believe the issue is bad/worn out/broken belt and needs replacement however, you can check this video on how to replace the belt & how to take it apart for greasing:

Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

The problem can either be with the dryer belt that is either worn out or broken and needs replacement. You can take it apart and check before replacing the belt. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

The font panel must be removed. This may be done by removing the control console (open upper cabinet doors to find screws behind the console). After you remove the control console, the screws along the top of the lower front panel are easily accessible. Disconnect the two interlock switches, remove the grounding clip attached to the bulkhead & lift the panel off the two lower clips. Inside the panel is the housing that leads to the exhaust blower. Just clean out the mess & reverse the process to replace the parts.

The drum belt could be rubbing on something inside. Does the dryer make a squeeking noise? Se if there are small rubber particles on the bottom, this will indicate a deteriating belt.

I need to know what are the steps to replacing the door gasket, I would like to know what to take apart, and what not to take apart. Like a step by step lay out.

The instructions above are perfect for most Maytag Dryers, but the Neptune MDE4000AYW is built differently from most. To open it, undo the two screws that run through the door hinges, and remove the door, then undo the two other screws that are on the opposite side of the doorway. With these four screws out, you can lift the front panel UP and out. Make sure you unplug the dryer first :-)

check to see if the door boot is intact. if there is a hole in it water could be getting to the motor control board and you are in danger of shorting the machine out. the other possibility is the main computer board may be on its last legs and is doing a slow sizzle
