Eric for Model Number MEDB800VQ0 My Maytag Bravos 400 quiet w/ steam powers on and lights up but does not start. The start switch appears good since it toggles through and the display moves between pause and start. There is also an audible clicking when the start switch is pressed, which I gather means a good door switch. When the dryer failed, my wife heard a load pop and I smelled the burnt electrical smell. I have continuity on the blower thermal fuse (with the two blue wires removed), continuity on the thermostat thermal fuse (black and red wires off), and continuity between the posts on the thermostat where the red/white and black wires attach. For the thermostat, I did not remove the two position connector with the two small red wires that is between the red/white and the black. The belts look to be OK too and I have 12K ohms across the thermister (unconnected). Are there any other thermal or limiting control devices that can be checked? Can I check the motor while it is still connected using a meter?
Answer Hello Eric. You would test the motor for power. Make sure the door switch and thermal fuse are good. They are usually the cause for this. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
