Rachel May 11, 2023 Dryer works fine but when you set the timer at 45 minutes at the end of 45 minutes the dial has not gone down to zero. Works but we have to use a kitchen timer to let us know when its done.
1 Answer Rachel, If the timer is not advancing then it will be a faulty timer that will need to be replaced. Read More...
Rachel May 11, 2023 for Model Number MEDC215EW1 My Maytag dryer turned on and ran by itself on 2 occasions. I leave the door open to prevent this. Then when I put a load in the dryer around 4:30 PM and at bedtime I realized that the dryer was still running. Can all of these problems be caused by the timer or is it more involved that that? When it was new, the dryer would not dry a load unless I ran it through two 70 minute cycles. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Rachel, The dryer not shutting off would most likely be a timer issue but the longer drying cycles would most likely be a clogged vent. Read More...
Rachel May 11, 2023 for Model Number 110.c61102010 Hi. My dryer has a intermittent heating problem. Sometimes it work normally, sometimes it start heating but stop before the cycle's end and sometimes it does not heat at all. I have already change all thermal switches and fuse but the problem still their. I did test the element for continuity and short to ground and it look ok. I think it could be the timer but i would like to have your opinion has this part is the most expensive to replace. Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Rachel, With there being intermittent heating then it will most likely be an issue with the timer causing this issue. Read More...
Rachel May 11, 2023 for Model Number CEDS832VQ1 Dryer runs but no heat at first. Turn timer dial several times. Eventually the heat comes on. Is the timer the problem? All other parts check out with meter.
1 Answer Rachel, It does sound like there is a contact inside the dryer that is not making and would need to get a new timer. Read More...
Janice June 29, 2022 for Model Number WED4815EW1 This dryer has been heating even on the air fluff setting. I checked the element and it isn't grounded. I even went so far as to put a new element on it and the same thing happens. I checked the cycling thermostat and it checks out okay with 6.9K ohms at room temperature. I changed the timer assuming that was the problem and it still heats constantly. I've had to change out a couple of thermal fuses to keep it running. I've double-checked the voltage at the outlet and am getting 240VAC. None of the wiring appears to be bad (burnt, bare, etc.). What am I missing?
1 Answer Janice, with the power cord unplugged, the timer would need to be set to air fluff and tested from terminal A to terminal B for continuity. If there is not continuity, the timer is working and the next step would be verifying that the wiring is correct in accordance with the wiring diagram of your model. Read More...
Daddyfix December 28, 2021 for Model Number MEDC215EW1 Maytag MEDC215EW1 dryer still dries, but timer will not advance and dryer will just keep running. This happens on both timed and auto dry settings. Assuming it's the timer. Am I on the right track, and is part # WPW10185982 correct? Or is there another component that also needs replaced. Thank you!
1 Answer Hello Daddyfix, If the dryer is still heating the issue would be the timer WPW10185982 if there are no wiring issues. If it is not heating, it could have a bad centrifugal switch in the main drive motor 279827. Read More...

Joanne March 14, 2021 for Model Number wpw10185982 My dryer is a maytag centennial commercial technology but when I enter the model number for a timer it takes me to a whirlpool timer is that correct
1 Answer Joanne, The model number that you have listed WPW10185982 is a part number not the model. If this came off the timer then it should be the correct timer for the model but we would really need to have the model number of your dryer to be able to confirm this. Read More...
William N. September 07, 2020 for Model Number WED5200VQ1 The dryer will only start in one position and then stops before the time is finished.
