My drum will tumble and tumble non-stop until I stop it, but does not heat up. I have already checked the gas connection and cleaned the vents. What could be wrong with it.
Same issue as eternity0413 only I have a Maytag model MGD5600tQ and it is only just over a year old. Yep the warranty is good for a year !Same issue as eternity0413 only I have a Maytag model MGD5600tQ and it is only just over a year old. Yep the warranty is good for a year !

Condenser dryers are simple in operation. They use a heater element to force hot air to heat the clothes and turn the water to steam. That steam is turned back into water by drawing cold air into the machine and over the heat exchanger unit and into the drum. The problems with them is that they are slow to dry.
Your best bet is to call for service, and the problem is likely the sensor probe or one of the thermal cut out.
Based on the information you provided, it is possible that the issue is related to the drum support roller or the drum glide. If the drum is not turning smoothly, it can cause the dryer to stop prematurely. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue: Inspect the drum support roller: Check if the drum support roller is worn or damaged. You can do this by removing the front panel of the dryer and examining the roller. If it is worn or damaged, it will need to be replaced. Check the drum glide: The drum glide is a strip of material that supports the front edge of the drum. Over time, it can wear down, causing the drum to rub against the metal frame of the dryer. Check the drum glide for signs of wear or damage. If it is worn or damaged, it will need to be replaced. Inspect the drum belt: Check the drum belt for signs of wear or damage. If the belt is loose or damaged, it can cause the drum to stop turning. If necessary, replace the belt. Check the motor: Even though you have already replaced the motor, it is still possible that it is faulty. Check the motor for any signs of wear or damage. Check the timer: The timer controls the duration of the dryer cycle. If the timer is faulty, it may be causing the dryer to stop prematurely. Check the timer for any signs of wear or damage. If none of these steps solve the issue, it may be necessary to consult a professional technician for further assistance .
The timer: Located in the control console of the dryer the timer consists of a small motor connected to a series of gears that rotate cams, which turn electric contacts off and on inside the timer. The timer contacts control the dryer motor as well as the heat circuit and the timer motor itself. A defective timer motor or a defect in the timer's electrical contacts can cause the timer motor to fail and the timer will need to be replaced. The contacts can be checked for continuity with a multi-meter. This test should only be made when the dryer is unplugged. Another test u can do is observe by eyesight and see does the timer advance or is it stuck on one cycle?
1. On gas and electric dryers that have an "Auto Dry" cycle, the cycling thermostat is often used to advance the timer as well regulate the drum temperature. Essentially, thermostat will alternately turn on the heat source or the timer motor when the temperature has been satisfied. To check this thermostat, you will have to check for power to the timer motor with a multi-meter, during a cycle. This is a live voltage test and caution should be used.
2. Some dryers will use a cool down thermostat to tumble the clothes without heat, at the end of the dry cycle. Power is routed through this thermostat to the drive motor to keep it running until the drum temperature has dropped to a specific temperature. If this thermostat fails it can cause the drum to turn indefinitely or until the door is opened. You can check the thermostat for continuity with a multi-meter. This test should only be made with the power removed from the dryer.
sounds like a tub wheel that the drum runs on may be bad ,youll have to take the front off and look,check for a burnt wire at the heating element or the heating element itself
on a timed dry cycle u are selecting the time it will dry
only after the time has run out will it tumble with no heat
on other setting the machine is stopping the heat and putting the machine into a cool down or air fluff mode
sounds like it isworking normally
(solv ya prob)
Gas dryer?
First thing to check is the ignitor underneath the drum. (You have to open the panel to see it) It should glow shortly after the dryer starts, then the flame starts and the ignitor shuts off. If the ignitor is glowing but the gas does not light then the gas valve coils may have to be replaced. If the gas ignites but does not stay on either the flame sensor or the coils are at fault. Electric dryer?Temperature sensor has failed or heating element has burned out.
Q - My gas dryer will not heat, what could stop my dryer from heating? A - Things that could stop a gas dryer from heating: - glow bar igniter, thermal fuse ( not all models ), coils on the gas valve, gas valve, thermostats,motor heat switch, timer, selector switch, sensor. A page for checking gas dryers is here.
