Gerry October 06, 2014 for Model Number LNC7764A71 My dryer runs but does not get hot at all. What should I do?
1 Answer Hello Gerry. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Check and make sure the unit is not set to Air Fluff. Also check the heater and thermostats and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. 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...
Scott July 19, 2014 for Model Number PYE3300AYW my dryer works but takes a long time to dry. is this heating element bad? how can you check element?
1 Answer Scott. You will want to make sure the venting for the dryer is clear from any obstructions. This will be the first thing you would want to check for long dry times. Thanks! Read More...
Joe June 09, 2014 for Model Number LNC7766A71 My Admiral dryer suddenly stopped heating on both cycles. It worked one day, and quit the next. Tub turns fine and cycles run fine, just no heat. Last time I used kit AP 4242494 to replace the hi-limit thermostat and heating element to fix it. Would you still recommend this, and is there a fuse I should order with it? Thanks for your help...Joe

Mike V. February 11, 2014 for Model Number ADE7000AYW Admiral / Maytag Great Dryer. takes 11 hours to dry a load. Actually it just quit heating all together just now. Model ADE7000AYW. If I order the heating element is there any other part(s) that should be replaced while I am at it? The machine is 10 years old but still is nice. Mike
1 Answer Mike, If you're replacing the heater element kit LA-1044, you need to consider a replacement thermal fuse WP53-1182. the element kit contains the element assembly and the hi limit thermostat. Manufacturers require that when a thermostat is replaced, the corresponding thermal fuse be replaced as well. You also want to inspect the wires to the element, fuse, and thermostat to make sure they weren't damaged or overheated. Read More...
Bala January 06, 2014 for Model Number Maytag Performa Dryer PYE4500AYW. Maytag Performa Dryer PYE4500AYW. It won't start. The light won't turn on when opening the door. Power is coming in. Door switch, thermal fuse and push timer pass the continuity and the push timer is making clicking noise. What could be the issue?
1 Answer Hello Bala. Make sure there is no wires burnt at the terminal block. If not, then the hi limit LA-1053 on the side of the heater housing sounds like it is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Chris December 21, 2013 for Model Number HYE3657AYW I had a service tech come to my house and replace the heating element (part no. LA1044) 2 months ago. The dryer has stopped working again, and I have figured out that the thermal fuse is definitely bad. I disconnected the 2 white wires going to the fuse, temporarily connected them, and the dryer works. My main question for you, is the thermal fuse normally included with the purchase of a new heating element? Would there be any reason to believe he replaced only the heating element, but the thermal fuse was not replaced? And if this was probably a thermal fuse that was only 2 months old - would I be out of line to expect the repair tech to replace this part free of charge? Thank you in advance
1 Answer Chris, The heating element does not come with the thermal fuse. The heating element will come with the hi limit thermostat. You would want to replace the thermal fuse and also check to make sure that the dryer venting is clean from the blower wheel all the way to the outside of the home. A clogged vent would be the most likely cause for the thermal fuse to fail. Read More...

Do you have one on hand that will work with this model? Would like to get it ordered today. Thank you.
Jim August 24, 2013 for Model Number Electric dryer ade20n3v Hello I replaced the heating element on my dryer. All I need to do is confirm I put the wires back on correctly. There is a orange wire and a red wire I have the red wire on the prong that is closer to the rear of the dryer and the orange is on the other. Is the correct? thank you
