Russell October 24, 2015 for Model Number wed4900XW When you turn on the timer the heating element comes on but when you press the push to start button the dryer does not come on. The belt is good and the door switch seems to be good because it will cut the light off when depressed.
1 Answer Russell, With the heater coming on when you turn the timer on would be a stuck centrifugal switch on the motor. This would also cause the motor to not start. You will want to replace the motor on the unit. Read More...
Carolyn September 21, 2015 for Model Number LSE7806ACE How can you change a push button starter switch in a Maytag stackable dryer? Very difficult to see let alone work on!
1 Answer Carolyn, To change the push to start switch, you will remove the slanted panel between the washer and dryer. Once you remove the panel, and making sure that power is disconnected, then you can access the push to start switch to replace. Read More...
Joe July 07, 2015 Kenmore dryer model 11061202011. When timer stops at off if you do not open door. Dryer will start when timer is reset without pushing start button.
1 Answer Hello Joe. You need to check the push to start switch and see if it is stuck closed. If so, you will need to replace the start switch. 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...
Drew November 22, 2014 for Model Number MGDC300XW1 When I start the dryer it will not turn sometimes, but if I open the door and turn the drum a little it will run. If I leave the end of cycle buzzer on the on position the buzzer keeps buzzing until I turn it off.
1 Answer Hello Drew. It sounds like 2 issues here. The first issue, with turning the drum is due to a bad motor in the unit. As for the buzzing issue, that is due to a bad timer. Read More...
Lee September 24, 2014 for Model Number MED5700TQ0 I tested the start to run switch with a multi-meter..... after setting the timer I pushed the switch Upon pressing the button I read power on one of the blue wires that read 0 before engaging, but the dryer does not come on. I'm assuming the switch is working properly. What else could possible be wrong...what should I check?
1 Answer Hello Lee. You will need to check the thermal fuse and the door switch on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Nita November 10, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool HD Front Loader When you press the on button it beeps, starts, then beeps, and stops. I can not get it to come back on.
1 Answer Hello Nita, This will either be the temperature switch WP8578352 or the timer WP8566184. More likely the temperature switch. Read More...

Chris April 06, 2013 for Model Number Maytag mgd5740tq0 doing work on the house. turned off the gas line to the dryers. turned it back on. one dryer works, the other (maytag) doesn't heat.
1 Answer Chris, Did you move the dryer ? you may have accidentally damaged the igniter, and you're sure you turn the gas valve to the open position. Check and make sure you didn't kink or restrict the exhaust vent as well. Try this, remove the 1X1 in. square plastic cover from the front panel, and start the dryer. Using the "peep hole" observe, that the igniter glows, then fades and the gas ignites and the dryer heats. Let us know what you see, and we can get you going from there. Read More...
Dave February 09, 2013 for Model Number W10117655 Hello, I have a Maytag Performa gas dryer and I can't figure out how to test the start switch. There are three wires two blue and one read. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou
1 Answer Dave, You forgot to attach the model number. But , as best we can tell, there should be four(4) wires to the start switch. The blue wire to the timer, should be on the top horizontal terminal, the blue wire to the motor, on the top vertical terminal, the pink/black wire to the neutral line, on the middle vertical terminal, and the tan wire to the signal buzzer on the bottom vertical terminal.
