Nathan July 24, 2017 for Model Number MEDC200XW1 Maytag Centennial electric dryer won't start. I have half of power going to timer switch?
1 Answer Hello Nathan, You should check the terminal block 279320 for loose and/or burned connections. If good, there is most likely a bad set of contacts in the timer assembly W10894766. Read More...
1 Answer Joe, Yes a bad timer can cause a dryer not to heat but there are other things that could cause this such as the high limit thermostat, thermal fuse, cycling thermostat, and the motor of the unit. Read More...
Irene June 29, 2016 for Model Number MEDC200XW1 Have checked all fuses seam to be ok. Dryer runs on all cycles but will stop when it comes to the dry down part of most dry cycle. Will that cause dryer to stop Heating?
1 Answer Hello Irene. You will need to check and see if the timer or the motor is breaking down and stopping the power to the heater. 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...
Ana June 21, 2016 for Model Number MEDC200XW1 My dryer spins and heats up sometimes, I have to set my knob in different areas in order for it to heat up. My dad thinks its the timer on control panel. Is there a replacement part for this?
1 Answer Ana, The most likely cause for this issue would be the contacts inside the timer that are intermittently making contact. Read More...
Jerry March 15, 2016 for Model Number maytag medc200xw1 When I turn the dryer on it starts to run and then cuts off.
1 Answer Hello Jerry, If the unit runs until you release the push to start switch, there is a switch made in the motor assembly 279827 that has failed. Read More...
Rick September 01, 2015 for Model Number MEDC200XW1 Dryer not heating when on TIMED DRY, but heats fine with it set to AUTOMATIC DRY? Checked thermostats and switches and they all seem fine. Are they two different timers? Please help!

Joseph G. December 25, 2014 for Model Number MEDC200XW1 The timer continues to run when the dryer is off.
1 Answer Hello Joseph, This will either be caused by the contacts inside the timer itself W10894766 or the heating element 279838 has shorted to ground. Read More...
Brandy September 02, 2014 for Model Number MEDC200XW1 I have replaced the thermostat, and the safety switch on the heating element. The element tests ok, the dryer runs but will not heat?
1 Answer Hello Brandy. You will need to test the voltage and see where your losing the voltage at. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Greg November 27, 2012 for Model Number medc200xw1 My elect maytag dryer will not start. I have checked parts door switch, thero swithes. How can I test the timer and the motor that is all that is left. I have power from wall and to dryer.
1 Answer Hello Greg, You may want to check the thermal fuse WP3392519 to make sure that you have continuity. If this thermal fuse blows it will keep the unit from operating. You can test your timer WP8299779 to see if you are getting power from terminal C to ground. With push to start switch pushed in check from C to W. Read More...
