Thanks. I'll try to change out the adhesive with the parts house. Tell me about the "technique" you used in installing the new one.

I have a DE309 Maytag electric dryer that needs the rear dryer drum seal replaced. I yanked the old one off. What is the best method to remove the remaining seal and residue? The local parts house sold me a replacement seal and ordered the adhesive. Instead of the hi-temp adhesive that I asked...

Does anyone have any experiences or know someone with a Staber washer? The design looks very interesting. I don't trust testimonials found on a commercial website. Strange that I never noticed Consumer Reports testing this washer. Anyway, go to their website and look at the washer in action if...

I sent you my name and address in a separate email. Many thanks. Jalbert

My first generation Maytag Neptune will be heading for the cash for clunkers pile. I have had this machine for 9 years or more. It has been under extended warranty. During this time, the timer, timer control board, motor, motor control board, pump, fill valve, belt, main boot, and inside door...
