Open front panel on maytag Sde3606ayw?

you don't go in from the back,unplug the dryer,you have a newer model so you have to remove the top panel,then remove the control panel,then the front panel to get in,on most dryers you have to open the door and remove two screws under the lint filter to get front panel off.hope this helps you out.

Hello,

To open that dryer ya need to first remove the top by removing the screws in the rear of it,then remove the control panel...behind the control panel are screws that hold the front panel to the cabinet.

this tip i wrote will help ya to determine why its not heating...after disconnecting the front panel it can be letf connected to run the dryer to see whats happening as far as the igniter not coming on or whatnot

Here is that tip http://www.fixya.com/support/r10293028-gas_dryer_not_heating

I don't know about your model, but it's the front that comes off for our Maytags.

check for power, if power is good then check these things:

check the starter switch

Unplug your dryer from the electrical first.
You would remove the electrical box from the top of the machine that holds the timer switch/start switch,etc. Be really careful that no wires come loose in the process.
Then remove the top of the machine, then the front will come off after you remove the screws holding it together.
Good Luck,
I hope this helps

HIya,

Cabinet Removal- Maytag & Amana Top Load Washing Machine

Remove the two (2) screws (item #21 on the attachment below) from the bottom of the front panel. Once the screws are removed, pull out on the bottom of the front panel until the spring clips release for the cabinet top.

If you are talking about the front of the machine, above the SERVICE ACCESS PANEL, then after you remove the screws at the bottom of the FRONT PANEL, pull the panel toward the front and the top of it will pop out. It is in place with small GUIDE SCREWS and a couple of removeable clips.

If your barrel is not tumbling you probably have a broken BELT and it needs to be replaced. Easier to do this from the back I think. It goes all the way around the barrel of the dryer, so you have to put it on the barrel then attach to the IDLER PULLEY and SERVICE BOLT.

Sounds like the heating element or coil is out, but it could also be the board to. At any rate, if your not getting any heat what so ever, its more than likely electrical and its best to take it in. If it gets some kind of heat, then you might try cleaning out your dryer vents really good, and also in the dryer. Hope this helps.
