Check your power first breakers trurn them off then on check outlet for 220 then 110 at each side that would be meter leads two flat holes 220 then meter flat hole on one side red wire black lead to round hole should be 110 red lead other side flat hole black lead round hole should be 110 if thats good then pull terminal block cover off check cord for loose or burnt condition if its burnt dont freak just replace terminal block and cord they burn if they werent tight when installed now to get the top up get a putty knife face the drier and about 2 to 3 inches there are two spring clips push in with the putty knife while rasing the edge one at a time if its not the power look for the thermal limiter a small metel disc close to the heating element some are plastic if its open theres your promblem pull one wire off of it or youll get a flase reading through the timer

My Maytag neptune dryer was tripping the circuit breaker. Then it just lost power and quit. What could cause this and how do I fix it.

This could be a bad breaker or a loose connection in the dryer plug/outlet. If the dryer just will not work at all and there is voltage at the dryer's outlet, then the dryer is defective. I would then suspect the motor as the culprit.

Maytag neptune dryer one of the dividers the screws came loose how can I fix this without calling for service

You are probably referring to the drum baffles. The baffles securing screws can be retightened by raising the top which requires the removal of the front panel. Click on the link below for the detailed steps.

The beater bar in my Neptune dryer modeL # MED5500AYW has come off and needs to be replaced.

It sounds like you are referring to the drum baffles when you say "beater bar". If that is so, you need to remove the front panel then raise the top cover to access the baffles mounting screws outside the drum. Below is the link to the procedure I posted previously.

Yes - right where the front panel meets the top panel of the dryer on both sides there are two clips. Insert a screwdriver into the clips and push up on top panel. You'll see the screws that hold the fins on the dryer. Tighten these screws or replace. Good luck...

My Maytag Neptune dryer suddenly quit working. The light comes on inside, but it won't start.

This could be several easy fixes. Check to see if the door switch is working if it is not clicking when pushed this could be the issue. try resetting the breaker, if it's not getting both legs of the 240v it won't start. or the start button could be defective. This is where I would start (and most of the time finish) looking. With some common tools and an ohm meter you should be able to find the problem.

How to remove a back panel of maytag neptune dryer?

You have a choice for which side front door should be on this model. There are 4 screws on front door. Take all 4 screws and pull down the front panel. You will see two metal parts each side which holds top panel. Remove two screws and metal parts. Now you can push up the top panel.
