I have a Maytag Electric Dryer (DE308), where the drum no longer turns. I suspect a belt or the like and I want to be able to check it out and fix it, if possible. A dryer this old is probably not worth paying to be fixed at this point.
My problem is simple -- and somewhat stupid.
How to I remove the wrap-around panels so that I can access the inside of the dryer? I have removed all the screws I can fine (front, sides and back) but the cover is not coming off. I am loathe to use too much force, not wanting to screw this up any further.
Is there some kind of trick to this that I don't know about, or is more elbow grease the answer? Does the top need to come off/be loosened and, if so, how is that done?
If you have time to help me with this, I'd be very grateful.
