Steve W May 06, 2018 for Model Number Maytag PYE2300AYH Dryer was running & heating and suddenly shut off. Unplugged and plugged back in and won't start. Found major lint blockage at inlet to blower and cleared. Still wouldn't start. Checked the following items: Timer Assy Thermal Switch ? 3.76 Ohms (nameplate) Control Thermostat 0 Ohms Door Switch 0 Ohms High Limit 0 Ohms. Any suggestions on what to check next? Motor?
1 Answer Steve, The thermal fuse on this unit will be the most likely cause and will be part number LA-1053. Read More...
Brian D February 20, 2017 for Model Number CDE22B8V You offer 2 parts identified as t stat cycle replacement parts for this model number. Ap6007590 and ap6009641. Both are identified as replacements for part 14 on the exploded diagram. What is the difference and why is there 2 different parts available for this one part?
1 Answer Brian, It shows that there is a lo limit thermostat LA-1035 rated at 120/110 control thermostat WP53-1107 rated at 146/121 The second is for a series 10 which is the first 2 digits of the serial number. There is another control thermostat which would be for series 11 and is part number WP31001192. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Wes. Either the vent is bad or the heater is staying on the blow the fuse. You will need to check both. Read More...
Kim September 23, 2015 for Model Number PYE2300AYW Thinking the timer was bad I replaced it. Dryer still won't shut off in either of the two Auto Dry cycles. Timer/cycle knob will just continue to travel around into the next cycle. In Timed Drying the dryer will shut off when the control knob reaches Off. Is this a sign of a bad cycling thermostat? If so I have seen two different voltage cycling thermostats, a 120 volt and a 240 volt. Which one would I need to replace the existing one in the dryer? BTW, I have completely cleaned the ductwork and inside the dryer.
1 Answer Hello Kim. You will need to check the wiring from the cycling thermostat to the timer and the resistor on the timer. Either could cause the issue your having. 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...
Mark September 22, 2015 for Model Number PYE2300AYW My dryer says version 1 after the model. The cycling thermostat is closed across the large spades and open across the small ones. Will this cause the dryer to act as it there is no power? There is power inside the unit. Tested the 53-1182 fuse and it has continuity across the terminals. There is also 220 across the motor terminals but mot running or heating. Can not find any other thermostat up by the electric coils. have kit LA-1053 but can not find where the little one goes.
1 Answer Hello Mark. No, you will need to order and replace the thermostat kit LA-1053 on the unit if it is dead. It sounds like the thermal fuse is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Barry June 02, 2015 for Model Number PYE2300AYW Dyer won't get hot. The element is heating properly, but it takes an extremely long time to dry clothes. Cleaned all vents and vent hose. Discharge air temp. Is only 100 degrees when running. What am I missing? Thanks, Barry
1 Answer Hello Barry. If the temp is 100°, then the unit is not heating properly. Check the temp switch, and the thermostats on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Jim November 02, 2014 for Model Number PYE2300AYW I have a Maytag Performa Dryer that won't start. I checked cont on the door switch and tried replacing the starter switch and that didn't work.
1 Answer Hello Jim. You need to check the thermal fuse LA-1053 and see if it is bad and will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Neil May 14, 2014 for Model Number hye3460ayw Hello, my dryer, model HYE3460ayw started shutting off before the clothes were dry, it has gotten progressively worse. Based on information I found on the internet I ordered a high limit kit and replaced those parts, but this did not fix the problem. It has gotten to a point where the dryer will only run for about 5 minutes before shutting off. When it shuts off it wont do anything until it cools for a bit, then it will start and run again for a short period of time. It also seems that on any temperature setting except "air fluff" the temperature in the drum is getting very hot. On further research it appears that my cycling thermostat may be bad. Does this sound correct? Or is there something else that could be causing my problem? Thanks
1 Answer Neil, The first thing that you will want to check is the dryer venting. It sounds like, based on the information, that the vent is clogged up and causing the unit overheat inside. This will cause the cycling thermostat to close and remain closed allowing the timer to cycle faster than normal. Check the venting from the blower wheel all the way to the outside of the home for obstructions, clogging and especially where it comes out of the home for lint clogging a screen or causing the vent flap to not open.

Bill January 01, 2014 for Model Number pye2300ayw Dryer would not run so I changed the thermostst and the thermal fuse and cleaned out the vent system. I started the dryer and it ran for a few minures and it quit running again. Checked the thermal fuse again and it shows that I have a bad fuse. Any suggestions. Thank You Bill.
1 Answer Bill, With the thermal fuse blowing after just a few minutes you will want to ensure that there is nothing caught in the blower wheel. If there are like static sheets that are caught in it or something that is restricting the air flow then this will cause the thermal to blow. Also check your heater to make sure that it is good.
