In some dryer's the control panel relies on a thermistor rather than a CYCLING thermostat to regulate the drum's air temperature by monitoring the component's resistance changes; resistance goes down as temperature increases and up when temperature decreases. Once the drum's air temperature reaches a certain level required to dry clothes, the control panel shuts off the heater. The panel will turn the heater on again and begin another heating cycle when the thermistor indicates that more heat is needed to keep the air temperature constant inside the drum this is why in some cases the dryer will operate at lower cycles like gentle or low heat but not at higher settings?) Lastly check your moister sensor. ( located inside the dryer door usually) Especially if machine seems to shut down early and clothes are still wet. Test with a meter at room temperature and it should show continuity. A failed moisture sensor will affect the dryer run time in the automatic moisture sensing cycle but it will not affect the heating of the dryer or the timed cycle. Which are reflected by the thermostats. Check dryer Terminal block prongs both outside prongs should give combined 220, and 110 each if u check 1 outside & 1 center (ground) prong. Also check house electrical outlet for full voltage. CHECK THERMAL SHUT OFF THERMOSTAT USUALLY LOCATED ON THE BLOWER. for OHMS or resistance with a meter. Should show a closed circuit. Ohms WHEN THIS FUSE BLOWS IT WILL SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING. NEXT Test the PUSH start switch with meter for OHMS. Should show OHMS when pushed in or on start, and no ohms or infinity when in off position. If you hear a humming/clicking sound from motor area you more than likely have a bad motor. Try this test out to see if u have weak windings or relay/capacitor on motor. Open the dryer door and turn by hand the drum while machine is on ON position. And you or someone else presses the door engagement switch in. If it starts up then u have bad windings Another thing to check is the belt safety switch. With a multi meter. Especially if u just replaced the belt. The belt safety switch is attached to the Tensioner and motor. IT LOOKS LIKE A DOOR SWITCH SOMEWHAT a little black pc of plastic with 2 prongs going into it. Sits at bottom of motor. Under the Tensioner. Attach meter clips to the 2 prongs on switch, Then when the little white push button is pressed in it should show continuity and none when released. Lastly check ur DOOR SWITCH for continuity with a meter when the button is pushed in the (on/Door closed position,) it may have gone bad.
If the baking element stays on even when the oven is turned off or when it's set to a different temperature, the issue might be with the relay board. The relay board is responsible for sending power to the bake element when it's supposed to be on, and cutting off power when it's supposed to be off.
To confirm if the relay board is the culprit, you can try the following:
Turn off the power to the oven at the circuit breaker.
Remove the back panel of the oven to access the relay board.
Look for any signs of damage or burning on the board.
Inspect the connections and wiring for any signs of damage or burning.
Use a multimeter to test for continuity across the contacts of the relay board that control the bake element.
If the continuity is present when the oven is turned off, or if the board is visibly damaged or burnt, then it's likely that the relay board needs to be replaced.
If the relay board is determined to be the issue, it's recommended to have a qualified technician replace it as working with electrical components can be dangerous.
If replacing the bulbs did not fix the issue, then it could be a connection issue or a faulty light switch. You can try checking the connections to the light switch and the light assembly to make sure they are secure and properly connected. You can also use a multimeter to test the switch and see if it is functioning properly. If the switch is faulty, it will need to be replaced. If you are not comfortable doing this yourself, it is best to consult a professional technician.
It is possible that the motor might be faulty or bad then.Or it could be the fact that your dryer has quit working and you need a new dryer. They don't make the parts anymore for your dryer so you will have to buy a new dryer instead.
If your Maytag MDE4658AYW electric dryer is running hot on all settings, even on air fluff, it is likely that the heating element is not working properly. Make sure that the heating element is securely connected to the dryer and that the power switch is in the "on" position. If the problem persists, you may need to replace the heating element or contact the manufacturer for assistance.
I'm sorry but I'm unable to find the cubic feet size of Maytag dryer model SDG515DAWW. However, you may be able to find this information on the Maytag website, in the product manual, or by contacting Maytag customer service. Additionally, you can measure the interior dimensions of the dryer to estimate the cubic footage. The interior width, depth, and height measurements, when multiplied together, will give you an estimate of the cubic footage.
I'm sorry, but I'm unable to provide specific troubleshooting advice for your mdg75pnhvw28 without more information about the device and the context in which the "rotation fault" is occurring.
Without a service manual or additional information about the device and its components, it's difficult for me to identify the root cause of the issue or suggest potential solutions.
In general, when troubleshooting a device that is experiencing a problem, it can be helpful to gather as much information as possible about the device and the circumstances surrounding the issue. This can include the make and model of the device, any error messages or codes that are displayed, and any recent changes or events that may have preceded the problem.
If you have access to a service manual or other technical documentation for the device, that can be a valuable resource for identifying potential causes and solutions for the problem. If you do not have access to a service manual, you may be able to find one online or by contacting the manufacturer or a qualified repair technician.
I recommend seeking the assistance of a qualified repair technician or the manufacturer if you are unable to identify the cause of the problem and do not have access to a service manual. A repair technician will have the necessary knowledge, tools, and experience to diagnose and repair the issue with your device.
Disconnect the power for 5 minutes and it should release the lock. Give it a sharp slap as well in case it is sticky.

Possible SolutionsPress and hold the Control Lock Key for 3 seconds to unlock the machine. You will notice the machine count down from 3-2-1. The control lock may be a stand alone key, or it could be a dual function key paired with another button like Extra Rinse, Steam, etc.
Hi,
Please check your manual for the factory reset procedure that you've mentioned. If you can't find it, the next step would be to request the factory-reset from Maytag by calling them directly. You can check their website for their phone number or tweet at them via twitter if they have an account. Otherwise, you might need to setup an appointment with Home Depot repair to diagnose the problem at your home.
Thank you.
Hi,
Please power cycle the dryer and the turn the dial 90 degrees in the opposite direction of the the usual direction that you'd use to set a cycle. Then try to use the dryer again.
Thank you.
Hi,
you might reach out to a third party dryer manufacturer and ask them if they can provide the part that you're looking for. You might start by looking through white pages or calling 411 to find such a company. Thank you.
The electronic control panel and board has detected a runaway in the temperature and the control board and the heating sensor could be broken on your dryer and need to be replaced.Or the circuit breakers may need replacement then.
The fuses or the circuit board could of had blown then.Or the circuit board and the fuses are now bad and should have to be replaced for your dryer. Call a person that fixes major appliances to take a look at your dryer.
