Lynn D. October 04, 2011 for Model Number MDG7400AWW The sensor part of the dryer stopped working, however, the timed dry continued to work for about a month after that and now nothing works. What part/parts do I need?
1 Answer Hello Lynn. Test the thermal fuse WP33001762 and see if it is bad. It should read closed for continuity. If open, you will need to replace the fuse, and clean the vent and check for kinks in the vent. If the vent is bad, the auto dry will not work properly. The vent can blow the fuse on the unit. 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...
John October 03, 2011 for Model Number M# MDG6460AWW Serial # 12583602ER I have installed a new timer, but the dryer will not turn off and or the dial even move when it is in the Regular (auto dry mode. Is this an instance where the wiring harness needs to be replaced? and which one is needed?
1 Answer John, I doubt you need a new wire harness or timer. First thing you need to check is the exhaust temperature or the cycling thermostat. A quick easy test, remove the exhaust vent from the dryer back, check and make sure the filter is clean, and start the dryer on an auto cycle, let it run 10 minutes and see if the timer dial advances, if it does, you have a clogged vent system. If not check the regulating thermostat and orange wire from the themostat back up to the timer. The orange wire supplies 120 VAC to the timer motor, when the regulating thermostat cycles open and turns the burner off. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Mike H September 23, 2011 for Model Number MAYTAG MDE6400AYW S#24904225EE Follow up on new timer and jumper harness. The only number that I find on the existing wiring harness is P#63406910 REV A OP#6581. Please advise which jumper I will need to make the new timer operate correctly.
1 Answer Mike, Baseed on the model and serial number of the dryer you supplied, The timer part number needed should have been WP33002803 mpn 33002803 or srvc mpn 6 3720660 and the matching wire harness should be 33002805 mpn 33002805 srvc mnp 6 3720530. Do any of these numbers look familiar? What was your original complaint, and do you still have the old "original" parts? Thanks. Read More...
Mike Harvey September 22, 2011 for Model Number Maytag MDE6400AYW Follow up to my question yesterday concerning my new timer not working. The answer was that I needed a jumper harness model AP4043084. Where does this go and what does it do? The other number asked for on my old timer is MAYTAG 6 3720660. Dryer model MDE6400AYW SN 24904225EE.
1 Answer Hi Mike. Thank you for the timer information. The tech's here will keep track of this. The harness will be in between the timer and the wire harness. This is what we understand.

Mike H. September 21, 2011 for Model Number Maytag MDE 6400 AYW I just replaced the timer on my Maytag MDE6400AYW SN 24904225EE and the timed and sensing drying does not work. The original problem was the drier was hard to turn on. After replacement the dryer comes on heats, but the cycles do not work. The dryer also does not shut off when you open the door now. The timer that I used was a AP4043083. All features worked before, just hard too start. Now starts but features don't work.

Betsy B August 12, 2011 for Model Number Maytag model # MDE6400AYW serial # 12512074CA My dryer has BOTH problems that I have just read seem to be problems for other people too. I have to play with the start knob to get it to come on. Sometimes it seems to help if I open and close the door first and then pull the knob again but it is hit and miss. But now the dryer will not turn off unless I physically open the door. It will run all day if I'm not paying attention. What parts do I need to fix it and can I do this myself?
1 Answer Hi Betsy. Yes you can simply remove all power and replace these parts yourself. The timer is part # WP33002803. The door switch is part # W10169313. The timer knob needs to be removed first by getting to the back of the timer and pulling the center hidden shaft extension that holds the knob in place. Then there will be a finger clip on the back connected to the timer that locks it in the back of the panel. Twist slightly and the timer will rotate and remove. The door switch can be removed with a small plastic putty knife from the sides and removing out from the front panel. Follow the instructions closely. Thank you. Read More...
