Max T. October 27, 2013 for Model Number lde7314ace I Have a Maytag dryer and checked all the fuses and/or sensors, everything checks Good. When I put the dryer on, everything stays hot. The vent hose, the electric heater element is working proper, Then the electric cord gets warm, and then finally, it trips the 30 amp circuit , which gets warm, then hot and trips.!!! DO YOU THINK the timer is sticking in one place or worn out ?? I don't know what to do ?? Remember : the vent is new and cleaned, and the blower is all cleaned. The drum moves easily also there are no noises, and it is on level ground .
1 Answer Max, There could be a stuck contact in the timer, but that's a bit rare. It's more likely that you have a shorted heater element WPY308612 or a stuck heater circuit switch in the motor W10410999. If either of these components have failed, this will keep the element partially energized all the time. Causing the venting to get warm, and the breaker to trip. Read More...
Steve July 17, 2012 for Model Number LDE4914ACE I have a Maytag dryer that heats but will not stop running. The Vent is clear ( i cleaned it completely). I check the voltage between the orange wire and the white and I have 120v. It just does not move the timer. It runs on heat or air fluff and will stop if the door is opened or you move the timer to off. It even still buzzes when moved to to off position, I have read and tried all of the different options on various sites.
1 Answer Hello Steve. If there is power to the timer motor, and the motor does not turn the timer, you will need to replace the timer WPY308254 in the unit. Read More...
Louis July 01, 2012 for Model Number ldg4914aae Everything on this dryer appears to be operating properly except that the timer does not advance to the off position during a drying cycle. It stays where I set it. Am I correct in assuming that the timer needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Hello Louis, The best way to determine if the timer motor has failed is to test from the orange wire on the timer to the white. Follow the two black wires from the timer motor to the terminals they attach to and you're there. There should be 120Vac across these terminals. Read More...
