Maytag DRYERS user manual

1. Clogged Vent: If your dryer vent is clogged with lint, it may cause the dryer to stop drying the clothes properly.
2. Heating Element: A failing or broken heating element might be the cause of the dryer not drying.
3. Cycling Thermostat: A malfunctioning cycling thermostat can cause the dryer not to heat up enough to dry clothes.
4. Blower Wheel: When it is worn out, it can reduce airflow causing the dryer not to heat up and dry the clothes.
5. Thermal fuse: A blown thermal fuse can prevent the dryer from heating hence not drying the clothes.
6. Faulty Timer: If the timer isn't allowing the heat to come on for enough time, the clothes won't dry.
7. Gas Valve Solenoid: For gas dryers, a broken gas valve solenoid can stop the heat from coming on and drying your clothes.
8. Motor Problems: If the motor isn't functioning properly, the dryer may not spin or heat up to dry clothes.
9. Power Issues: The dryer may not be getting enough power, money dryers require 240 volts to operate properly.
10. Inadequate Load Size: Clothes might not dry well if the load is too small because the drum has sensors that detect moisture. To effectively dry clothes, the dryer needs to be at least half full.
Remember, if you are unsure or uncomfortable with fixing a broken dryer yourself, be sure to call a professional for help.

One of the most common problems with Maytag dryers is the failure of the heating element. This can result in the dryer not producing enough heat or not heating up at all. Other common issues include the drum not spinning or turning, faulty or worn-out belts, problems with the dryer not starting or shutting off, and issues with the dryer making unusual noises.

Maytag dryers do not have a reset button. However, they are equipped with a thermal fuse that automatically trips if the dryer overheats. If your Maytag dryer is not functioning properly, you may need to check the thermal fuse and replace it if necessary. The location of the thermal fuse can vary depending on the model of your Maytag dryer, so consult your dryer's user manual or contact Maytag customer support for specific instructions.
