Another fine idea by Maytag. :(

Why should it be so hard to find a heating element for anything so new?

I have the same dryer and my heating element went out 2.5 years after I bought it. I am still hopeful they will make it again or find an alternative. Have you had any luck finding one?

I am furious with Maytag/Whirlpool.

We have confirmed with Whirlpool/Maytag that part number 31001746 is discontinued and there is no replacement. We have also checked with a number of suppliers and they didn't have it in stock. It's going to be pretty difficult to find this part anywhere. Sorry.

Hope that restring kit works. I wonder who it's made by and whether it's a direct replacement.

Unfortunately that was all Maytag, now Whirlpool is left holding the bag on it.

I too have a Maytag Neptune dryer. I purchased this dryer less than 5 years ago and paid a fortune for it. I am extremely disappointed in Maytag and that they are not standing by their product. They did offer me a 15% discount to purchase a new Maytag dryer excluding sales tax, delivery and installation. What an insult. I would never purchase another Maytag appliance and do not recommend any of their products. I purchased the Neptune soley on Maytags reputation, what a joke. Whatever happended to customer service and pride in what you build.:mad: :mad: :mad:
