Debbie March 29, 2023 for Model Number LDE7600ACW My Maytag dryer works, but doesn't seem to be heating, what part would I need to fix this? The thermostat, the fuse or the heating element assembly? How do we test the heating assembly?

Sal March 26, 2021 for Model Number MDE6800AYW On control panel, cycles buttons are inoperative. Cycle Time shows code 55. Checked Temperature Control Thermistor and thermal fuse on blower housing, they appear to be closed. Dryer was functioning the day before. What should be checked next, please?
1 Answer Sal, Based on the information provided I would run the diagnostics to see what other codes may come up. It sounds like you may have a control or user interface board issue. Enter diagnostics: Press Air Fluff and Time (^) - 13 Key Membrane. or Air Fluff and Time (+) - 15 Key Membrane keys for 3 seconds, or until a beep is heard. The machine will now be in Service Mode and “d” will be displayed. Press the Wrinkle Release key to access the Diagnostic Codes. Read More...
Bob September 02, 2019 for Model Number MDE2500AYW The dryer smelled hot like it was burning and we shut off immediately.

Andrew B March 04, 2019 for Model Number NDE6800AYW When turned on, there's a click. The dryer heats up but does not spin. I checked the motor, and I can spin it manually; the belt is not broken. I saw something that said it could be the heating element fuse, so I looked at the heating element. The coils are all dark on one end and are wavy instead of mostly straight. Do you think the fuse/heating element is the problem, or could it be the motor? I appreciate the help!
1 Answer Andrew, This issue would not likely be caused by a faulty heater if the heater comes on and works but does not spin. This would be a motor that is faulty. Read More...
Brandt S January 27, 2017 for Model Number MDE12CSACL We just recently bought a commercial clothes dryer and when I plug it in it automatically heats up do you kow what could be causing this.
1 Answer Brandt, This issue would most likely be caused by a stuck centrifugal switch on the motor and would need to have the motor replaced. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Bob. It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly.

Isabell November 14, 2015 for Model Number MDE5500AYW My husband just replaced the heater element. Now it runs for a few minutes turns completely off. Always 99 in the timer window.
1 Answer Isabell, You will want to check the belt to make sure that it is on properly and check the rollers to make sure that they are not seizing up. Read More...
Duane October 31, 2015 for Model Number MDE5500AYW The dryer tripped the Dryer breaker. When reset the breaker just tripped immediately. We let everything cool down and tried again. The dryer worked but now no heat.
1 Answer Hello Duane, You should open the unit and check the element. It sounds like the element WPY308612 has burned out and shorted to ground. Read More...
Gordon January 04, 2015 for Model Number MDE300AYN My son and his roommates where given this dyer by a relative of one of the boys, it had a 4 prong on it and there apartment has a 3 prong outlet, one of the boys changed out the cord to three prong, it worked for a few months but now it runs but no heat, I know it could be thermal fuse or heating element but would changing out the cord have anything to do with this. Also what is correct way to change from 4 prong to 3 prong so I can verify if they did it correctly
1 Answer Gordon, Changing the power cord would not cause the unit to not run after a couple of months of use. As for how to wire the cord, you would put the white on the center terminal, the black and red will go to the outer terminals. There would also be a grounding strap on the center post which would go from the center terminal to the ground which is just below it. Read More...
Ruth January 07, 2014 for Model Number mde7057ayw My dryer comes on and makes a noise (like some foreign object in inside) and will need 3 or 4 cycles to dry a load of clothes. How to I check to be sure it is the element before I place an order?
1 Answer Hello Ruth. It sounds like the blower wheel 33001790 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
