Terry for Model Number MEDB400VQ0 I have a Maytag dryer Model# MEDB400VQ0 that is gets very hot on the outside of the cabinet intermittently. It does this in the 20 min fluff cycle. I have checked the following. 1. Get the dryer vent and no obstructions where found. 2. Checked the heating element and it is OK. No shorts on the heating element. 3. Checked the thermal switch and it seemed OK. I placed the thermal switch on a hot plate and it cycled on and off. Checked it with a multimeter while doing this and seemed to OK as it should. 4. Checked the drum felt and all of it was intact and not loose or worn. 5. Checked the blower fan it was operating OK. 6. I took a thermometer and checked the air temp at the dryer vent and it was high of 140 and low of 124 degrees. It would cycle up and down within this temp range. Can you point me in the right direction in what I need to do to fix this dryer? Thank You Terry Taylor
Answer Terry, If the unit is heating in the fluff cycle, this would sound like it is an issue with the control board. The part number for the control board is WPW10111621. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, December 9, 2014
