I have a Maytag stackable dryer that the dial / timer stem broke on while moving it. I called Maytag and they want almost $400 for just the parts! I need to source the parts and get them installed ASAP.

 

Anyone have advice before my wife kills me.

Good luck with the a@e type repair outfits if you go that route. We had no luck with them. Just bite the bullet and man up to your foolish mistake with the wife and tell her to deal.....glad I'm not you.

If you don't mind doing the work yourself you can get an idea of what part you need and the cost. Washers and dryers are very easy to work on, the biggest problem is the bodies when you have to take them apart, you always will get a cut or 2. But a panel part should be easy as most of them are plug and play for the most part.

Sears parts direct are usually among THE MOST EXPENSIVE appliance parts.

 

You can use sears parts direct to find the part number you need and then google the part number and you will have a good chance of finding the part for a good deal less.

 

Hater HATES paying too much...

Good point Dan, but I have had a few time where they were either even or just a bit cheaper, and maybe once when they were the only ones that had a part in stock that I could find.

I have found that for dedicated Sears machines or machines only built for Sears, that is often the case, however, my appliances this past month have been ganging up against me. The dryer sounds like a raging bull, the washer stopped functioning in the spin cycle, and the dishwasher door spring broke. I've become an expert at dryer repair (they are quite simple), the front loading washer wasn't too bad, the dishwasher, well, I have that part in hand and I need to set a day or night aside to fix that MoFo.

Not a question or manning up... she knew all about it. It was a question of breaking it in the first place.

 

i ordered the parts from Partselect.com and will install myself.

a&e worked for me. Used them once on my under extended warranty dryer and they came right out and fixed it.

 

If you know what's wrong, might was well change out the part. When I do work on washers/dryers I usually wind up with a blood covered hand and don't even know how it happened.

A@E came out to my place 3 times not under warranty for my stove and the long and the short is after the 2nd time we went for 6 weeks without a usable oven. We ended up just replacing the unit with a new one and chalked it up to a lesson learned.
