Top 5 Maytag Dryer Problems & Solutions
Even the best quality Maytag dryers have issues sometimes. Here, we outline the top 5 problems that dryers experience and Maytag dryer service solutions.
1. Power Loss
The first step to take is to make sure the dryer is plugged into a working outlet. Plug a small kitchen appliance or lamp into the outlet to test it. If the appliance or lamp powers on, you can conclude that the outlet works. Another culprit is a door switch that breaks while in the “off” position. Since this switch prevents the dryer from moving when the door is open, it can stop the appliance from starting if it breaks.
2. Failure To Heat Up
Do not panic if your dryer suddenly will not heat up. You may have simply selected a setting that blows out air but does not emit heat. If you determine that it is not due to an incorrect setting, the electronic ignition could be to blame. The ignition is very difficult to access, so you should always let a certified repair technician handle this fix.
3. Making Loud Noises
You may have more than just a nuisance on your hands if your dryer is making squealing and/or grinding noises. Squealing sounds can be the result of a drum belt that has become loose and is sliding around the exterior of the drum. The idler pulley or belt needs to be replaced if this is the case. The drum support bearing or rollers that support the rear or worn drum supports or glides can cause grinding noises. A technician will need to replace the parts responsible for the issue.
4. Drum Will Not Spin
A faulty switch, belt or motor can prevent the drum in your dryer from spinning. This advanced Maytag dryer repair should only be done by an experienced repair technician.
5. Clothes Remain Wet
One of the most critical components in a clothes dryer is the heating element. It heats the air inside of the drum. If your dryer is taking a long time to dry your clothes completely or at all, you may be dealing with a burned-out heating element. Testing this part to see if it is in working order is complex and best left in the capable hands of a repair technician. The icing on the cake is, the technician can also repair the heating element if necessary.
