Albert August 10, 2011 for Model Number PYE3200AYW My problem started when my dryer ran fine until the time hit the off cycle. It continued to tumble, but no heat. Had to open door to stop unit. I ordered a timer. Day before I ordered timer I wanted to use dryer, and found no light inside, no start up. I could hear timer running. I checked thermal fuse. Continuity through fuse. Need help?
1 Answer Hello Albert. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the thermostat kit LA-1053 is bad and will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Ed July 02, 2011 for Model Number lnc7745a71 dryer was operating fine then stopped running in middle of cycle. the timer is running when in lower position of dial only. checked power throughout and current is there. the drum will not turn in any position.
2 Answers Hello Ed. You will need to test the thermal fuse LA-1053 on the side if the heater housing. It should read closed for continuity. If it is open, you will need to replace the kit.

2 Answers Ed, are you sure you have 240 VAC at the terminal block, on the back of the dryer ? Since the timer is running,the thermal fuse is OK, as well as other components, but if the motor has no voltage , and doesn't run, the dryer won't heat, and the timer won't advance on the other selections. The power cord and terminal block, is the best place to start. Good Luck. Read More...
David May 12, 2011 for Model Number PYE4500AYW Maytag No power at all. No light, no drum movement, nothing. Power supply is working. What would keep the whole unit from not operating?

If it is bad, you will need to replace the fuse kit LA-1053. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

David May 11, 2011 for Model Number PYE4500AYW Dryer won't come on, nothing works including light in drum. It was working earlier today and stopped sometime during the cycle. It acts like it is not getting power, but we do have power from (220)outlet. No smoking parts, burning smell, or visible signs on burnout in control panel area. What's up?
1 Answer Hello David. You will need to test and see if the thermal fuse is bad. It is located on the side of the heater housing. It should read closed for continuity. If it is open, you will need to replace the thermal fuse LA-1053. Replace both parts in the kit. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

Veronica April 21, 2011 for Model Number LEC5000PQO I did, 4 times. It Still doesn't turn off. When I put it on any of the other portions it doesn't move. Stays at the beggining.
1 Answer Veronica, if you have replaced the timer already, it sounds like the wiring is off. Recheck the installation. Thanks. Read More...
Veronica April 21, 2011 for Model Number LEC5000PQO I'm sorry. i gave you the wrong Model # LEC5000PQO is the electric dryer that does not turn OFF.

1 Answer Hello Veronica! Set the dryer on the timed dry portion for about 20 minutes. See if it still continues to run. Please repost the outcome. Thanks. Read More...
Veronica April 18, 2011 for Model Number PYG2000AWW and LEC5000PW0 The PYG dyer stays on with heat and does not turn off. The LEC dryer does not turn on. I could hear the motor come on.
1 Answer Hello Veronica! On the PYG2000AWW, is the timer advancing over as it should? If not, replace the timer WP31001513. On the LEC5000PW0, if the motor turns on and the tumbler is not turning, you will need to replace the belt. Model LEC5000PW0 does not come up in our systems. I've located LEQ5000PW0, the belt is part number 341241. Thanks. Read More...
