I bought the same dryer in March of 1999. It was one of the earlier years of the Neptune models.
The best place to find parts for a Whirlpool dryer would be the Phillips website if the model is relatively new. If it is an older machine then Espares would be a good source as they are able to find parts for most electricals.
Maytag parts can generally be purchased at one of two types of places online: Maytag's own website (Maytag.com) or one of the many generic sales sites that stocks Maytag merchandise or links to those who do. An exmaple of a site like this is partselect.com.
The best place to find Frigidaire dryer parts would be at the store the dryer was purchased. If that's not available, check out a store such as Sears or Best Buy, both of which sell appliances.
Probably not, depending on the cost of fixing it. Look on Craigslist for a cheap almost new one or a free one that you could use the parts from to fix your's. Good luck!

To troubleshoot and replace the blower wheel in your Maytag dryer, first unplug the dryer and remove the front panel. Locate the blower wheel near the motor and inspect it for any damage or debris. If necessary, remove the old blower wheel by unscrewing it and installing a new one in its place. Make sure to secure it properly and reassemble the dryer before testing it. If the issue persists, consider seeking professional help.
Maytag dryers are unusually durable appliances. The machines do still break down over time, however. It can be expensive to replace some of the parts in the dryer and a few pieces will actually require the help of a professional Maytag repairman. There are some steps that can be taken by owners of a Maytag dryer in order to extend the life of the appliance and reduce the need for replacement parts. One of the most frequently replaced Maytag dryer parts is the lint screen. This fine mesh panel catches the lint from clothes and stops the particles from clogging other mechanisms. The lint screen needs to be cleaned before each load of laundry. This will keep the screen in good condition for a much longer period of time. Cleaning the part will also prevent lint from overheating and burning the mesh or causing a fire. A clean lint screen can also prevent lint from being pushed back into the drying cylinder and creating a mess. Opening and closing the door of a Maytag dryer should be done with at least a little caution. The door should be opened in a way so that clothes and the lint screen do not hit it. The reason is because the dryer door is lined with a strip that seals the unit shut when the door is closed. This seal can easily come loose over time if it is constantly contacted or if the door is jarred around. A damaged or missing seal can cause the dryer to operate incredibly inefficiently. The seal can be replaced with a new strip and some high temperature adhesive if it has started to come away from the door. Certain models of Maytag dryers have a thermostat inside of the drum that can break or become damaged if items like shoes are placed in the machine. This thermostat is important because the air can become very hot or might never be heated at all if the part is malfunctioning. This can be avoided by not placing hard items into the dryer. If an item like a pair of sneakers needs to be placed in the dryer then the shoes should be wrapped in a bag and covered with a soft towel. Replacing the thermostat can be simple in some instances or it might require opening the body of the dryer.
