Product review (5 stars): Worked fine in my MGDE200XW1
It fit perfectly in my Maytag MGDE200XW1 and works just fine. Wasn't too difficult to wire but not sure if someone with lesser electrical experience might scratch their head a little. Unfortunately I may not have needed it. I replaced it because the dryer was squealing horribly for a little while. Then it just wouldn't spin at all. It would power up and just hum, like the motor wanted to spin but couldn't. At the time I didn't think a stuck belt could hold the pulley from spinning. However, I'm not so sure about that now. I found that the idler roller was in bad shape and was the cause of the squealing. At times it would freeze up and the belt would slip on it. With the new motor installed and the shell open could see that it wasn't enough to hold back this motor from spinning. So, ultimately I just don't know the motor needed to be replaced. I do know that if your dryer makes that loud squealing, intermittently at first but then almost constant, order yourself the maintenance kit that includes the idler roller, 4 tub rollers, and belt. It's cheap and will fix it up for then next decade. Opening the shell is challenging the first couple times but then super easy. But you really only want to do it once, especially if it's stacked like mine.
