I saw a belt for the fan on Repair Clinic and it would be about $40. I really don't want to pay $40 for a little belt. If you could find one somewhere else, that would be GREAT. |

I can't be entirely sure from the blurry photo but is it a round urethane belt?
If so McMaster Carr likely has what you need. www.mcmaster.com/#urethane-round-... I think they have a vendor custom weld the loops if you order an O-Ring continuous belt. They also have a hollow belting that you can use with a coupler to make a loop. |

I need the exact same belt. All other belts in the unit are made of rubber. But the exhaust fan made of silicone that gets brittle and cracks. |

I think Twintubber was saying that the fan belt was silicone, not the fan. |

On mine, I have used two big o-rings for the fan belt and it works PREFECTLY. No problamos, so far. Anyway, thank you. |

Thanks for the link to the vendor. It seems to be the achilles heal of both the DE50 and A50. I purchased a new belt for the A50 a while back, and the weld broke (OEM Maytag belt) and the urethane belt on the dryer now slaps the shroud all the time which is what it did before it broke as well.
John, where did Jeff get his urethane belts made, I remember talking to him about it the last time I was there but I can't remember where he said. Thanks Tim |

I was doing a load and set it for about 45 minutes. Came back about 30 minutes later and timer hasn't moved. Anyone know where I can get a new one? |

Thank you very much, and the washer is also holding up very well, fortunately. |

Did MT make a "halo of heat" gas dryer? I understand the design of the elc, but how did (if any) gas units "halo their heat"? |

So did you source another belt for the blower? Just curious, glad you got that timer going. Such neat little dryers and they dry very well.

The screw-type thing works just as good (I think? ) because that's the kind that is on my maytag DE808 dryer and my dad's DE308 too! So if they're good enough for the full-size dryers, I'm pretty sure it'll be good enough for your DE50 portable/compact dryer too.
Glad you got it up & tumbling now... :o) |
