Maytag MLE24PDAYW Dryer Commercial Dryer - Stack, Electric, Microprocessor Controls" - Page 8 Questions & Answers
Working on Maytag centennial electric dryer for a friend with little money. No light inside of dryer but the bulb is good. I opened the back and tested the thermal fuse, element, thermostats and all have continuity with no wires attached to them. I tested the door switch and the start switch and both have continuity when in use. Power is coming into the timer although I don't remember which colors I had checked to see 240 volt. I bypass blue wire on timer and the white wire on the starter switch with the red stripe and plugged into 120 volt and ran the drum and motor for a while so I then changed out the timer but only to get the same result. The wiring connections on all the ends look to be in good shape. I hope to go back today and continue working. I don't know if I have received a new defective timer, or perhaps I should post the wiring diagram for this dryer on this site in order to get help. Thanks
Things that cause a dryer not to run: motor, broken belt, thermal fuse, timer, door switch, start switch, improper voltage, and wiring.
Maytag Gas Dryer Model: MLG2000AWW doesn't dry
I had a similar issue, except that mine would sometimes fire and so eventually the clothes would dry. Still, it would fail to fire often enough that it took a long time to dry. So, I went through the steps of replacing the two gas valve coils (no improvement), and checked resistance of various parts (found no problems). The only thing noted that I didn't check was whether the motor centrifugal switch was working correctly. One thing I noticed is that the flame seemed sort of weak; I should have paid closer attention to that in the first place. I ended up finding that the interior of the flame tube nozzle was somewhat clogged with soot. The primary culprit, though, was the "jet" (I think that's the correct name) where the gas is dispensed from the valve into the nozzle. It's a 1/2" brass piece. Unscrewed it, cleaned it out, and the dryer worked like new!
Hope that helps someone. In my weeks (months, actually!) of trying to figure out this problem I didn't see a single mention of gas blockage or soot.
