Norman March 27, 2019 for Model Number Maytag Electric Dryer MEDC200XW1 My existing time is marked with P/N # W10185988. You show P/N AP6027508. Will your timer work? Please advise Norm
1 Answer Norman, timer [W10894766] (AP6027508) is the direct replacement for your original part. Read More...
Dan January 09, 2019 for Model Number MEDC200XW1 The dryer began to occasionally provide no heat while drying, and the cycle-end buzzer stopped going off - and sometime the dryer wouldn't stop at the end the cycle, it would continue spinning in cool down. We found that if we rotated the cycle-setting knob a few times, the heat would return. I did a search here and got the first 2 recommended parts - a new dryer cycling thermostat and dryer thermal fuse. I replaced them and now the dryer doesn't heat at all. )-: I dug out my multimeter and tested all of the fuses in the back, and they're all fine. Could the element have gone out while the fuse still tests OK? I'm hesitant to pull that part off. Having read the comments here - could it be the timer? How would I test it with the multimeter?
1 Answer Dan, you will want to test the element for continuity just to make sure that it is still good. On the timer, with the power turned off you can turn the timer to auto regular, then you will want to test between the white and blue wire connection and the orange wire connections at the timer with the wires off. You should have continuity between the two points. If you do not have continuity, then your timer W10894766 would need to be changed out. Read More...
Tom December 21, 2018 for Model Number MEDC200XW1 Is there a video for removing and replacing the Timer (AP6027508)? I'm having an issue with no heat but the dryer runs so I just replaced the heating element and Dryer Thermal cut-off and the element did not heat up. I took a multi meter and checked for continuity through out and all were good. The Time reads 120 V, but I applied a little pressure to one side of the time knob and the element started to work. Then when the pressure was off the knob the element shut off. So would this meant that the issue is with the Timer?
1 Answer Tom, If you use a putty knife under the front corners of the control panel which would push a spring clip then lift up the control panel and roll it up. Read More...
Gabriel August 19, 2018 for Model Number W10894766 My dryer spins and is blowing cool air. I changed out the all 3 thermostats and the fuse as well as the heating element and i just noticed my timer gets stuck... i believe i narrowed it down to the timer now, what do you think?
1 Answer Gabriel, For a proper diagnosis, we would need you to please verify the model number from the units' I.D. tag since it will not come up for us as a valid model number. Read More...
Jlm January 02, 2018 for Model Number MEDC200XW1 Dryer basket rotates continous but timer won't advance. Checked power going to timer motor,OK. You can see armature spinning on motor. When I pull motor off and run separated from timer small white pinion turns but large orange one dose not??
Kevin October 27, 2017 for Model Number MEDC200XW1 Timer only moves when it is set on timed dry, does not move on auto or low heat, heats on all settings, but dryer does not shut off nor enter cool down, will only shut off if open. Bad motor or entire assembly? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Kevin, This is an indication that there is a ducting issue. You see, the unit is not designed to have much back pressure from the ducting. When there is a ducting restriction, (crimp, clog, or excessively long duct), the heat, lint, and moisture are blown past the drum seals which are made of felt, right back into the cabinet of the unit where it is circulated back across the clothes. Due to the fact that the unit is sensing the moisture, it continues to run because the moisture is trapped in the unit and cannot escape. Correcting the ducting will normally correct this issue without any parts for the dryer being necessary. Read More...
Rodney July 29, 2017 for Model Number YMEDC200XW1 The dryer stays stuck on. Is a bad timer the only thing that can cause this?
1 Answer Rodney, This issue would be most likely caused by a bad timer if the unit goes past the off position. If the timer gets to off and stops moving then the centrifugal switch would be faulty on this issue. Read More...
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...
