A Maytag dryer in Massillon was squeaking when running, sounding like belt squeaking on a car. We found the belt had worn out and needed replacement — a common issue on this model after years of use.
The Problem
The customer reported the dryer was squeaking when running. They described it as sounding like belt squeaking on a car.
Diagnosis
We opened up the Maytag MDE6200AYW and found the drive belt had stretched and worn down, causing it to slip and squeak against the drum and pulleys during operation.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: WP33002535 — Belt
- Work performed: Replaced belt
- Result: Good to go
Is It Worth Repairing?
This Maytag dryer model is built to last, and a belt replacement is one of the most cost-effective repairs you can make. These units typically run for 15-20 years with proper maintenance, so replacing a worn belt on a functioning machine makes solid financial sense.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Dryers
- Clean the lint filter after every load to reduce strain on the belt and motor
- Check the exhaust vent annually — restricted airflow makes the belt work harder
- Don’t overload the drum, as this puts extra stress on the belt system
