Angela October 19, 2025 for Model Number MED7230HW2 What would cause my Maytag Dryer model med7230hw2 back of dryer to be extremely hot?
1 Answer Hello Angela, and thank you for your question. While the back panel is expected to get fairly warm from the heat vent routing through the back, if the heat is spreading to the top and side panels there could be an air leak allowing heat to escape into the cabin of the dryer. Inspecting parts such as the drum seal 280114 and the blower housing seal W11596046 for indications of failure would be recommended. Read More...
Ronald May 05, 2018 for Model Number WED7800XW0 Whirlpool Cabrio WED7800XW0 Dryer won't heat. I've been doing some research on your website and looking at some of your videos. Is Thrmst-Fix AP6013164 and Cutoff-TMI AP3874047 the same part? The videos look the same.
1 Answer Ronald, The thrmst-fix WP8557403 is the same thermostat that is in the 280148 thermal cutoff kit. Read More...
Norm September 17, 2015 for Model Number MED7000XR1 My Maytag Maxima dryer flashes code F4E4 and I checked all the wiring and heater. The thermistor should read between 5 and 15 k ohms by mine is less than 1 ohm. Is there anything else I can check? I just want to make sure its a bad thermistor before buying a new one.
Gil July 31, 2014 for Model Number WED9200SQ0 I get a F25 error code, I replaced the internal and external thermistor and the thermal fuse. I checked all of the duct work for clogs all ok, The dryer runs for about 2-weeks then stops. Power is on but won't start. When I replaced the last it did not have the not in the tin housing, so I had to utiize the old housing ring. would that cause the unit to quit after 2-weeks?
1 Answer Gil, There are a couple of things that you will want to test for continuity. The first would be the door switch. With the door closed check to make sure that the door switch is showing continuity. If there is no continuity then the switch is bad. If continuity is present then test the thermal fuse on the blower housing. If there is no continuity replace the thermals fuse and if there is continuity then check the belt switch and belt. Make sure that the belt switch has continuity and that the belt is not broken. Read More...
Denise May 10, 2014 for Model Number WED9400sz1 Dryer gets extremely hot and then won't start back up, just says "sensing" on panel. All lights come on. We replaced the thermal fuse and thermistor but doesn't seem to fix the extreme heat problem. Do I need to replace the Thermal Cut Off and Thermostat? When the diagnostic test was done on the dryer, the codes were F30 (restricted air flow) and F25 (inlet thermistor). That's why we replaced the thermistor. We've cleaned out the entire venting ducts so the restricted air flow should now be fixed. Am I on the right track as far as ordering the above parts? Thanks!!
1 Answer Denise, Yes replacing the thermal cutoff and hi limit does sound like the right choice with having the error codes and the situations being resolved. Read More...
Tom July 18, 2012 for Model Number wed7300wo My whirlpool started overheating and I had to unplug it to shut it down. Now nothing comes on. Is this the part that would fix it?
1 Answer Hello Tom. You will need to check and see if the thermal fuse WP3390719 is bad on the unit. It should read closed for continuity. 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...
