Don May 01, 2012 for Model Number Mde7400ayw. Maytag Atlantis When I pull the knob up to start the dryer it takes many tries. I need to pull at exactly the right angle and with the right pressure. It's getting more difficult each time. Is this the timer or something else?
1 Answer Hello Don. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the timer WP53-1810 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
Tony April 03, 2012 for Model Number LNC7764A71 Can you run dryer with thermal fuse unplugged? Why not?
1 Answer Hello Tony. No, you will need to replace the thermal fuse LA-1053 if it is bad. If you run the dryer with out the fuse, and there is an issue, it can catch on fire. This is very dangerous. Hope this helps. Read More...

Steven February 19, 2012 for Model Number PYG2300AWW Was doing some repair work and door button arched. Now I do not get any response when timer start switch is pressed. Was wondering what I may have fried?
1 Answer Hello Steven. You will need to test the door switch LA-1005 and the thermal fuse WP53-1096 in the unit. If bad, they will prevent the unit from working properly. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

1 Answer Hello Dave. The fuse is located on the side of the heater housing inside the dryer. You will need to raise the top of the dryer to access the heater housing and the fuse on the side of it. There are two white wires going to the fuse. Hope this helps. Read More...
Tony November 16, 2011 for Model Number pye2300ayw This is Tony again. I did check thermal fuse after removing the heater element. Also I have 230 volts to the dryer.I also checked for a blockage in the vent hose and it was clear. I am still thinking it is the timer unless there is something else I have not checked?
1 Answer Hello Tony. Make sure the terminal block is not burnt. If it is good, and the fuse and door switch are good, you may have a bad timer WP53-1810. Hope this helps. Read More...
