Tumbles but does not dry

When you put your wet cloths in the dryer close the door. You should then turn on the dry cycle you wish, not the fluff option as there will be only air and gas dryer will not heat the cloths. Wait 30 ~ seconds after the dryer is turned on and listen for the gas to ignite and begin warming and drying the cloths. If you hear no bump sound like the ignition of the gas, then you have an ignition issue. It will require replacing the ignitor. All the best and good luck. Hope this helped.

My Neptue dryer wont dry unless I run it more than one cycle. model no. mdg5500awq. all lights work and seems to run fine it just wont dry the cloths unless I run it at least twice and jeans are three or...

Turn dryer on and go outside to the vent and check for a good amount of air coming out. If you do not have a good amount of air coming out, take the exhaust tubes apart and clean.

I dont know why my neptune dryer takes forever to dry a load of clothes..Appox hours

Check to see if the vent hose is clogged, this will cause the dryer to work longer as there is no air flow.

Maytag Neptune MDG 5500 AWQ heats sporatically

your dryer has a safety feature that it will not run or heat when the door is opened. It is so no gas fumes are exhauseted into your home. Once the safety is engaged, It will not allow the dryer to restart for a short while. It should clear itself after only a few minutes. Hope this helps, good luck.

99 minutes

It sounds like you may need a new timer. Has water or anything gotten into the timer. This could be causing a short or faulty reading in it.
