Dale September 21, 2019 for Model Number MDG9606AWW Our tech believes our old Maytag may need a timer. He has thoroughly checked components under the dryer drum and they are operating properly. Good exhaust air flow too. However he says he can no longer get a timer for our model and I should consider replacing the dryer. Is he correct? It would appear that part AP6007953, timing unit, will work for this model. Is this the same timing unit I have in my model now? Mine is the original part. Our tech has worked on our appliances for years and has always been spot-on with repairs and pricing. I'd be disappointed to learn he didn't really check on timer availability before recommending spending money on a new dryer.
1 Answer Dale, the timer WP33001932 is the most up to date part number for the timer that would be used in your model. Read More...
Tom G April 23, 2017 for Model Number MDE7657AYW When I plug in my dryer it starts heating up except when air fluff button is pushed on.
1 Answer Tom, This would be caused by a stuck centrifugal switch on the motor as it is supplying power to the heater without the start button being pushed. Read More...
Kenneth September 03, 2016 for Model Number MDE7600AYW My problem is the heating element turns on every time you turn the timer control to any setting. Even when the dry door is open, and before I even hit the start button the heating element turns on. The motor does not turn on under any circumstances, but the moisture sensor light is lit when I hit the start button. I have checked all I can and have come to the conclusion that the timer must be bad. Is my conclusion correct?
1 Answer Kenneth, This would not be a timer issue. Yes when you set the timer to a cycle the heater comes on and this is because the timer is just one side of the heating circuit. The other side of the circuit would be the motor of the unit. The motor has a internal switch known as a centrifugal switch that if this is stuck it will cause the unit to heat and not tumble by just turning the timer on. You will want to get into the unit and access the motor. Clean any and all lint out of the cabinet and from the motor. It is possible that there is lint causing the centrifugal switch to stick. If you clean and still will not do this then the issue will be a faulty motor. Read More...
Rollin June 16, 2014 for Model Number MDE7758AYW My Maytag dryer quit working on the Intellidry regular cycle but it works on everything else.is it the timer or something else.
1 Answer Rollin, The most likely issue with why the unit does not operate on the intellidry cycle would be caused by a faulty dryness display control board WP33002389. Read More...
Brian July 03, 2013 for Model Number MDE7600AYW My Maytag dryer works great with the exception of the dryer will never shut off. The timer knob never moves when you start the dryer, so if you start it on high it will remain on high until you manually shut off the unit. I am assuming part number AP4043866 is the obvious fix but I just wanted to confirm?
1 Answer Hello Brian. If there is power to the timer motor, and the timer does not advance, you will need to order and replace the timer on the unit. 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...
Edward October 23, 2012 for Model Number mdg6000bww I'm looking for a timer knob. Just the knob that broke on the dryer. the one listed looks like the inner part is round. The one I have has more of a "D" shape to it.
1 Answer Hello Edward, according to the model number provided, your knob comes in three pieces, the knob WP22001659, skirt WP33001621, and cap WP22001664. The skirt has the "D' shape you are referring to. While your ordering, check your lint screen WP33001808 to see if it needs replacing. The shipping is the same low rate no matter how many parts you order. Thanks! Read More...
Mark August 18, 2012 for Model Number MDE6000AYW The timer on our dryer has "M460GB" and "Maytag" printed on it. Does your Item Number: AP4043866 Manufacturer's Number: 33001932 replace it? Thanks.

Mark March 03, 2012 for Model Number mde6000ayw Are the wires to the heat element you refer too the ones that connect to the ceramic resistors? One is black and the other connects to a hi temp thermostat.
1 Answer Hello Mark. The wires that connect to the element directly, not any thermostats. Hope this helps. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Mark. Remove the wires from the heater and test for 120 volts on each wire. Which ever wire is dead, you will trace and see if it leads to the timer. If so, replace the timer. 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...
1 Answer Hello Mark. Yes, if the timer WP33001932 is not sending 120 volts to one side of the element, it will not heat. Hope this helps. Read More...
