Paul K. March 25, 2018 for Model Number Mde3000awy Should you read continuity on across the top and bottom terminals
1 Answer Hello Paul, terminals "RD" and "BU" should read continuity and "WH" and "PU" should give you a resistance reading. Thanks! Read More...
Jk September 21, 2015 for Model Number Maytag Mo# MDE9806AYW No heat, heating coil checks OK High Limit reads no OHMS Thermal Fuse checks no OHMS.
1 Answer Hello JK. 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...
1 Answer Hello Jim. Test the switch 33001656 for continuity as you slide it and see if the terminals on the back of it changes. If not, you will need to replace the temperature 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...
Craig June 16, 2015 for Model Number MDE5500AYW The dryer is getting way too hot and running too long. it doesn't seem to matter what temp setting. if you set it for sensor dry it just gets way too hot.
1 Answer Hello Craig. You need to look for a bad cycling thermostat or if the element is grounded and staying on. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Jim B December 31, 2014 for Model Number MDE3000AYA My variable temperature switch appears to be open and the dryer is not getting very warm. Since I can not find the direct replacement part #AP4042416 (33001658), will your switch #AP4042415 work?
1 Answer Jim, The temperature switch WP33001656 will work in place of temperature switch 33001658. The only difference between the 2 would be the color. The 33001658 is almond and the WP33001656 is white. Read More...
Elizabeth December 26, 2014 for Model Number MDG4000BWW Maytag Neptune Dryer-gas, only provides heat on timed cycle, no heat on the other cycles. I have cleaned lint tray, all vents leading out of dryer and out of house, vent blows air strong, I have replaced the moisture sensor, replaced cycling thermostat (tested the old one with volt meter and it is fine), tested dryer thermal fuse with volt meter-it is fine. I can hear the timer working and advancing the dial knob, I am not sure what to do at this point? Please help!
1 Answer Elizabeth, This issue would most likely be caused by the timer not making contact for the heat circuit since it works during the timed but not on the other cycles. Read More...
Mark September 28, 2014 for Model Number Maytag Dryer MODEL #MDG 4000BWQ The dryer works fine except it doesn't turn off automatically when the clothes are dry in any of the modes. I have changed the timer, gas valve and the dryer cycling thermostat without any results. Please help. Thanks.
1 Answer Mark, You most likely have a problem in the Dryness Display Board 33002400 (it is no longer available) but first check and make sure you have a grounded, polarized 120 VAC outlet, Then check and make sure you have a neutral and power to the display board check for 120 VAC across the orange wire pin1 and white wire pin3 on the display board connection with the dryer running. Then check for 120 VAC across the orange wire pin1 and brown wire pin2 you should also read 120 VAC and the timer should advance. The display board controls the neutral circuit to the timer motor in all settings. If there is no neutral circuit to the timer, it wont advance or shut off at the end of the cycle. Be careful conducting the voltage checks, you don't want to short anything out or hurt yourself with a shock. Read More...
Tom September 08, 2012 for Model Number LDE5916ACE The dry seems to always dry on the hottest setting regardless of what the infinite temp. switch is set to. I replaced this switch (part #AP4042415) but it did not make a difference. Could the cycling t-stat be stuck in the closed position?
1 Answer Hi Tom. Correct, the cycling thermostat part # WP3387137 is stuck. You also need to change the hi-limit since it is now over working doing the cycling thermostats job. It is part # WP303396. Thank You. Read More...
Brian November 14, 2011 for Model Number MDG8000AWW Dryer works fine except it doesn't turn off automatically when the clothes are dry in any of the modes. We clean the filter after each load and I have checked the exhaust air flow and it is very strong so don't expect a blockage there. Could this be a module in the control pannel?
1 Answer Hello Brian. If the dryer does not stop in timer dry as well, and is drying properly, then the timer WP33001730 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Don October 17, 2011 for Model Number MDE9806AYW Dryer works fine except it always runs on "regular" or hottest setting. Sliding the "infinite temperature" switch has no effect on the drying temp. I assume this means the Temperature switch part number AP4042415 needs to be replaced. Is there any other failed part or adjustment I should look for?
1 Answer Hello Don. Test the switch WP33001656 for continuity as you slide it and see if the terminals on the back of it changes. If not, you will need to replace the temperature switch. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.
