So, I ordered the parts and put them on today and turned it on. Heats up just fine but seems to be really hot at the top of the heat box ( too hot to touch after just a couple minutes). Just wondering if there is something I'm missing or that may be causing this problem.

The vent is blowing out hot air and the lint system has been thoroughly cleaned.

I took a video while it was doing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmFfmjOA...

I had scheduled service for it, since it’s under warranty, and of course the problem went away the day before the tech was supposed to come. The tech didn’t show up for the scheduled appointment anyway (sigh). They haven’t contacted me at all, and I’m trying to decide if I should reschedule. If there’s something that should be fixed, I definitely want to do it under the remaining few months of my warranty, but I’m not sure what they would do if they come when it’s not manifesting the problem. Given that it takes almost two weeks to get an appointment, and it seems to fix itself after a while, I’m not sure how much luck I’ll have getting a tech here at the same time it’s doing it, should it happen again.

I’m pretty handy and don’t mind taking it apart, but I have no idea what I might look for since there’s nothing happening right now. Or maybe I shouldn’t even worry, but in my experience there aren’t many mechanical problems that just appear once and go away forever.

So - is anyone able to identify what might have been wrong from the video, and why it might have “fixed itself”?

Thank you so much for the quick response. My dryer is a Maytag Bravos XL MEDB835DW3 and is 14 months old.

Hi all,

The issue is resolved (for now). The root cause was the CCU / Main Board.

during all the tests I noticed strange marks on the drum due to harness rubbing on it, I figured out the hardness should not be routed that way beside the drums being pushed down all the time by the drum turning clockwise. One of the thermistor wires had all insulation gone from rubbing, I fixed it and properly routed the hardness next to the door using two factory zip tire clips that are there empty. (Previous home inspector went must have got some work done on it which was not done properly).

That didn’t solve the issue so I took out the main board to see if constant pull on the harness may have cause some solders to come apart and that’s what I noticed on the bottom of the board , it looks like the relay’s solder came loose for a while and was causing sparks / heat there and it melted the pcb board metal where the leg was soldered, I exposed some area on the circuit and soldered the pin there. I suspend the pulling caused this so hopefully the fix will stick or else I already ordered a used board off eBay in case this issue comes up again (I won’t be soldering it again) . In case this gets heated again and burns out then I will put the replacement board in but for now the dryer is back in business. See some pics attached.

——— original question ——-

I have this Maytag dryer that I was using yesterday. I noticed it felt like it was vibrating/rattling bit too much so I was going to check after finishing the load.

Once the load finished and I tried to start another load, it won’t start anymore. The lights come up and I can select the right option and press start, I can hear the relay click and it says “sensing” but usually at that time the drum is spinning (right after pressing start). But not anymore , it’s not spinning at all, the motor is not making any type of sound (no hum, it’s dead quiet).

Could this be dead motor or something else I can check? Thanks.

Can someone tell me what the problem could be?

HI Mayer, that’s exactly the type of fuse I used. Based on the information provided, do you think the issue is with the heating element (it turns on very hot soon as i plug in, even with the fuse out), the thermostat, or something else ?

I have a Maytag Dryer. For the last month it's been making a loud rumbling noise (it's in the garage and we can hear it in the house.) The noise is not rhythmic but consistently comes every 20-40 seconds. It's not a bang but a 5 second rumble that kind of crescendos and then fades away. It seems to be louder when I put in a heavier load. I've also noticed that some loads take 3-4 times longer to dry. I just checked on a load that I had in for 30 minutes and the clothes were not warm at all.

What do you think is going on? What parts do you think need to be replaced?

Thanks!

and of course, the metal clasp that closes the door. Dryer is four years old, and runs fine otherwise.

I have a Maytag MEDX655DW0 electric dryer. The dryer works fine when I use the timed setting but does not heat when I use the sensor dry setting. Could this just be a dirty or faulty sensor?

No humming or other weird noises from the motor while dryer is running and there was no click a few minutes after dryer stopped to indicate an over heating motor that cooled down. 

I am at a complete loss as to what is wrong with this dryer and why it keeps shutting off so quickly. Help!!!

Last night when I went to put my clothes in the dryer my light on the inside wasn't on. I closed the door and push the buttons to see if it would work and nothing happened. I unplugged the dryer and plugged it back in and nothing. I checked the breaker and it wasn't tripped. So I turned the breaker off for a few seconds then back on, still nothing. Can you please help.
