Fern July 27, 2024 for Model Number MDG9557AWW when we pulled off the timer knob, we noticed that the stem was cracked so it no longer fitted on the plate. Do we need a new timer knob?
1 Answer Hello Fern, thank you for contacting APP, If the stem of the timer knob itself has cracked then you will need to replace the Timer Knob WP22001659, this part does not come with the Timer Skirt WP33001621 or Timer Knob Insert WP22001664, these will either need to be ordered separately or reused.

Araceli June 17, 2022 for Model Number MDG6657BWW Hi there! My Maytag dryer stop coming at the first pull of the knob. It would take several tries before I could get it to work. I switched the door switch kit following the video instructions but I'm still having the same issue. Also, the light inside the dryer is not bright anymore. Any idea what it could be?
1 Answer Araceli, Thanks for the question!!! You would need either the start switch or a motor WP33002795 to fix the starting issue. The light would most likely be the bulb or the lens 33001869. Read More...
James February 02, 2022 for Model Number KEYE900TWH0 Thanks for answering my question as to why my dryer door switch has 5 connectors . At this time the switch is failing and it has been impossible to find a new part. It seems that it might be possible to to use a switch with 3 connectors and simply leave the the lint sensor wires disconnected. What do you think? I bought the machine in 1991 and the and except for the switch problem both washer and dryer are till going strong. the new stuff does not hold a candle to this old Kitchenaid set. They are beautiful machines made in the uSA.
1 Answer James, as we would not know how that could affect the operation of the appliance, we would not be able to recommend the use of an alternative part. Read More...

Don December 22, 2021 for Model Number MDE6800AYW The machine won't turn on. The start light flashes; occasionally the machine beeps. All lights will be on for a bit and then they all shut off. I pressed the door button and the lights came on but the machine doesn't start. Is the door switch the problem or the control panel/timer?
1 Answer Hello Don, the control console/touchpad (33002896 ) is faulty, however, the part has been discontinued and is no, longer available. Read More...
Erin May 26, 2021 for Model Number LDE9304ACE My Maytag dryer's door switch wires are yellow, gray and white. I attached the yellow to n/c, the gray to n/o & white to com. This didn't work. When my "handyman" tried to switch the terminals, the switch assembly came apart. I just bought this and can't afford to buy another. How do I reassemble the switch housing? Thanks!
1 Answer Erin, If the switch broken while installing it then you would want to contact customer service to see about getting a replacement. We do not have information on putting switches back together. Read More...
Mary Berryman April 05, 2021 for Model Number MDE5500AYQ Dryer control panel works, but is not heating. Something screwy is going on with the door switch as well. Light comes on sometimes as you open door and then quickly shuts off. I had this problem about 6 months ago and my son who is very handy took it all apart and found "continuity" on every part. It has been working just fine ever since. Maybe its the door switch and the thermal switch. Dryer ia about 24 years old and I've had ONE service call on it!!!
1 Answer Mary, The door switch would be a likely cause for this issue to occur when it comes to the light. If the dryer is not heating then it would be recommended to test the thermostats and make sure that they are good and test to make sure that the heating element is good. If they are good and there is proper power at the unit with no damaged or loose wires then either the control board will be the issue or the motor. Read More...

Tj November 01, 2019 for Model Number Amanda (Whirlpool) ALG643RAW Which wires attach where? I have a black, gray & white. Unfortunately the door fell when I was taking it apart and I don't know where the correct wires attach. I bought a new door switch but I don't want to blow anything and damage the new switch if I connect the wrong wires with the wrong terminals. THANK YOU!!
1 Answer TJ, the wire coming from the motor will go to the NO terminal, the black wire from the light will go to the NC terminal, and the wire from the power source will go to the COM terminal. The wiring diagram shows white for both the COM and the NO terminals so the wire from the power cord to the door switch will need to be identified which will isolate which wire goes to the motor.
