sounds like a bad control board it seems like you have a letter missing in your model number ...I looked up the part ouch ..http://www.repairclinic.com/vwo1/Maytag-Dryer-Model-MDE5500AYW-ID-563862-Circuit-Board-Timer-Parts?s=t-mde550ay-%3d%3dd563862b4a8c13
inside the control panel is a tech sheet that has some diagnostics on it . there is a membrane button test or something to that effect. I suspect that the start/pause button is the problem and you would need to replace the console w/touchpad.about $130-140 new. there are some used ones on ebay.
unplug the dryer,open the door and you'll see 4 screws,2 holding the door on and 2 opposite them,remove them and the door,now pull the front off you'll see a clip that looks like an L with a screw through it on each side,take the screws out and lift the top up
I just finished changing the thermal fuse on my dryer, model MDE5500AYW, and it solved my problem. The thermal fuses can be purchased at any appliance part store...and cost me $4.
