How to Replace the Dryer Power Cord on a Maytag Atlantis

Maytag Atlantis automatic dryers come in a wide range of models. Each model must have a working power cord for the dryer to work properly. If the power cord in your Maytag Atlantis dryer is defective or if it stops working, it can be removed so a new one can be installed in its place. It may also be necessary to replace the power cord if you are moving the dryer to a new location with a different type of outlet.
