1 Answer Kathy, You will want to check the flame sensor for continuity at room temp, if no continuity replace the flame sensor. If the flame sensor checks ok then the most likely issue would be the gas coils. Read More...
Jim April 01, 2015 for Model Number MGD9700SQ0 Is it possible that the flame sensor is stuck open allowing gas to flow even when the dryer is off?
Ayyad January 27, 2015 for Model Number maytag MODEL# MDG5806AWW Dryer comes on for about 10 - 20 seconds then turns off, what do you think is the problem? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Ayyad. If the flame comes on and goes right off, you will need to order and replace the coils 279834 on the top of the gas valve. Read More...
J R January 27, 2015 for Model Number HYG3658AWW My dryer works on and off for heating. Sometimes drys/sometimes not, just not that hot. Dryer vent is open/free of debris, everything else works. I've used you in the past and very satisfied, so I'm a repeat customer thanks, J R
1 Answer J.R. You will want to check the blower wheel to make sure that there is nothing that is caught in it such as fabric sheets wrapped around the wheel. Also check for broken fins on the wheel. Also check the cycling thermostat to make sure that the cycling thermostat is ok. Read More...
1 Answer Frank, You remove power to the dryer, remove the front panel to access the gas valve and burner assembly. disconnect or remove the two wires from the terminals of the flame sensor. using your multi meter set at the lowest scale place one meter lead on one terminal and the other lead on the other terminal. your meter should indicate a "closed" circuit. If the re is no resistance or infinite resistance the switch is stuck "open" and is inoperative. Read More...
1 Answer Steve, You will want test for 120 vac to the ingiter of the dryer. If there is not 120 vac then the issue will be with either the motor switch not making contact or the timer that is not making contact. Read More...
Sally October 21, 2014 for Model Number MDE6700AYW I put a load in the dryer and it was working I came back a little later and the front display was showing that it had 25 minutes left for drying and the dryer was not running. The display board works but the dryer does not start/spin
1 Answer Hello Sally. You need to check the fuse, door switch, and the belt in the unit. If either are bad, the dryer will not run. 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...
Steve September 29, 2014 for Model Number LDG5916AAE Ignitor lights up for about a second then shuts off, then it will reheat about 3-4 minutes later but only for about a second.
Joe September 06, 2014 Flame does not stay on. I changed the high limit thermostat, flame sensor, gas coils, igniter and no clogs or kinks in vent any suggestions my model is a may tag mgd5500aww.
1 Answer Joe, You will want to check the burner to make sure that the burner does not have rust around the ports and make sure that the ports are not clogged. Also check the cycling thermostat which would be located on the blower housing to ensure that the thermostat is good. Read More...
C. Claussen August 13, 2014 for Model Number NDG8805AWW The dryer will ignite and heat up, but it will take minimally two drying cycles to dry the load of clothes. I have tested all sensors and can't get conductivity on the temperature control thermistor. I have not tested the gas valve coils. The radiant flame sensor also tests good. Could I have other issues besides the thermistor? I guess I am not 100% convinced that is my only problem.
1 Answer Hello C. Claussen. 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.
