Do-It-Yourself Story

Power outage caused dryer to stop working. The power tripped for 15 seconds and the dryer started “beeping”. It was showing fault code F:73. I cleared the code and attempted to start the dryer. Power comes on to the panel, I can rotate the knob to any selection, all lights come on except the amount of time per selection. I can add time, but the default amount does not show. When I press start, it beeps, but nothing happens. I checked 240V at the outlet and continuity with the thermal fuses. Everything checks OK. The Maytag Tech Sheet recommends for fault codes F:72-F:78 to replace the console electronics. SOLUTION: I purchased and replaced the control panel part# W10336131 (AP4701289) because the time did not automatically display when the power was turned on even though I could add time and that time did display. The new panel fixed the problem – in order to install it, I had to use the base of the existing panel because I could not figure how to get it off the console.
