Geo S for Model Number MDE9700AYM My Maytag MDE9700AYM dryer powers up and display is lit but the drum wont turn and the control panel makes a clicking noise when turned on /off the belt is on and the tension seems fine don't want to spend 200 - 250 on a control panel if i don't need one any help is appreciated. I read something off an old post that was helpful. How do you Test the voltage/ohms on the Door Switch the Belt Switch and the Thermal Fuse to determine if one of those is causing the problem. I have a Multimeter to test/check Please Help Thank You Geo S
Answer Geo, The clicking you hear is probably the motor relay on the control panel. You can do a voltage test at the control panel to test the relay. On the motor relay, you will have a brown and black wire. Not running you should have 120 vac on the black wire testing it in respect to a neutral which is pin 1 on the control. [white wire] When you press start that relay should close and allow the voltage to go through the brown wire. Keep one lead on the white wire and move the other lead to the brown wire when you press start. If no voltage then the control is bad. I am also sending you a sheet for testing other components. But for the motor to run you only have a belt switch, a door switch and one safety thermostat. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, August 29, 2019
