How to Replace a Bulb in a Maytag Neptune

Maytag Neptune dryers have a light on the inside of the dryer drum above the door. The door illuminates whenever it opens, allowing you to easily see the contents inside. After regular usage, the interior dryer light may burn out. If the light burns out, it can be quickly replaced with another 120-volt, 10-watt maximum candelabra-base light bulb, available at most grocery and hardware stores.

Things You'll Need

• Screwdriver
• 120-volt, 10-watt maximum candelabra-base light bulb.

Instructions

1. Unplug the dryer from the wall.

2. Remove the screw on the side of the light cover on the top of the front-inside panel, using a screwdriver.

3. Pull the light cover toward the inside of the dryer to remove.

4. Turn the old light bulb counterclockwise, then remove.

5. Insert the new light bulb into the light socket, turning clockwise to tighten.

6. Re-install the light cover, then secure, putting the screw back in.

7. Close the dryer door, then plug the dryer back into the outlet.

8. Open the dryer door to turn on the light and ensure that the bulb is correctly installed.
