Karl S March 06, 2017 for Model Number LDG8424AAL On the cycling thermostat Part # AP6007568/ WP307250. What should the resistor measure when cold and does it change with temperature?
1 Answer Karl, The bias heater on the thermostat would have a reisstance of 2K to 2.5K ohms and will drop in resistance as it gets hotter. Read More...
Robin January 15, 2014 for Model Number Maytag DG7500 Our dryer timer counts down fine on the timed air-fluff cycle, but when we try to use the more dry/less dry cycle it will run forever -- it doesn't count down. Assuming the problem is this thermostat, my question is this: our repair man said we needed a 5-lead thermostat, and that our dryer was so old that he could not get the part. Is this a 5-lead thermostat? Will it work on our old dryer? it's probably at least 20 years old.
1 Answer Robin, This part does appear that it is the correct cycling thermostat for your model dryer. It does appear to also have 5 terminals on it. Read More...
1 Answer Hello John. You will need to test the thermostats and the flame sensor and make sure they are good. They should read closed for continuity. Also, check the igniter to see if it is good. If it is not glowing, test for power. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter for the testing procedures. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
John October 09, 2012 for Model Number mdg6400aw Just replaced the thermostat on our Maytag and the machine works great! However the end of cycle buzzer no longer functions. I don't know where this part is or what it looks. Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Hi John, the buzzer switch is located behind the control panel. It is the switch that you can turn the signal on or off. Hope this helps. Read More...

Bernard Gutnick December 20, 2011 for Model Number Maytag LDG8424AAE Hello, I have a similar situation as a question posed. The dryer when set for moisture level runs continuously, whereas the timer setting works. From your answer, it appears it may be the thermostat. Is that correct? If so, it is the Thermostat net AP4037199 (item 8) or the Hi Limit thermostat AP4036956 (item 17), or is there a moisture sensor of some sort? The dryer does heat up and run. Thank you.
1 Answer Bernard, The first thing to do, set the timer in an auto sdvance setting. Disconnect the exhaust vent from the back of the dryer and start and let the dryer run for 10 to 15 minutes, empty. If the timer advannces, you have a venting issue (clogged, kinked, vent pipe or exhaust hood). Also check the blower inlet housing (under the lint filter). If the timer doesn't advance, replce the cycling thermostat first WP307250 Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Harvey October 10, 2011 for Model Number MDG2600BWW Unit does not cylce on auto dry but works on Timed cycle. Therefore not the timer but seems like it is the thermostat. Is that correct?
1 Answer Hello Harvey. Yes, that could be correct. Try running the dryer without the vent attached and see if it cycles in auto dry. If so, the vent is the problem. Hope this helps. Read More...
Dan August 11, 2011 for Model Number LDG4910 AAW I cannot get the cloths to get dry. The flame comes on on the burner, but runs for 10 to 15 seconds and it shuts off. The vent is clean and I have tryed to running it with the vent disconnected and it still does the same thing. I have replaced the High limit thermostat. What else can I do?
1 Answer Hello Dan. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the coils 279834 are bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Harry R. May 17, 2011 for Model Number Ldg5910 My dryer heats up and shuts down, heats up and shuts down, does not stay hot where it will dry clothes.
1 Answer Hello Harry. 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. Hope this helps. Read More...
