Cathy for Model Number MEDB800VQ0 Maytag Bravos Electric Dryer My dryer's timer ADDS time on the sensor cycles; I assume I need to replace the timer switch. Is this the right part?
Answer Hi Cathy. There is a thermistor on top of the blower housing assy. part # is WP8577274. This will sense the moisture in the blower exhaust and send information to the control board. Replace this part. Then clean your entire vent system. You have a blockage or a kink allowing the lint and moisture to build up internally into the dryer. This "ages" internal parts and failures occur. Clean the outside vent cap / hood also. Thank you. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, September 27, 2011
