Cd for Model Number MDE6400AYW Dryer runs but timer knob only advances part way. Dryer must be shut off manually. Does this in all settings. Maytag Model #MDE6400AYW, Serial # 19515504CL. Per your recommendations I replaced the timer, PART # AP4043083. Still have the same problem. Any other suggestions?
Answer CD, Are you sure the dryer is heating the complete cycle ? and it is heating properly ? and you're sure you installed the correct timer based on the model and serial number 16 > WP33002803. Improper air flow or a "sticky cycling thermostat can cause the issue you described on the "auto advance" cycles but the timed dry setting should run for the amount of time you selected. If the timer stalls during the timed dry setting, check and make sure the timer knob is installed properly and you have the correct timer installed. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
