Hi, I have a Maytag Performa PYET444AYW electric dryer. It is not heating up all of the time. I have already taken out the element and had it tested. It was fine. Everytime it quits working I pop open the top and check the fuses and the element and they all appear to have continuity. Most of the time when I shut it back up and plug it in it works again. Do you have any other suggestions I can try?

Krazytech, Just because your solution didn't work for me does not mean it won't be helpful to someone else who reads it. It was just not helpful to ME...but thanks for the personal attack. You may be a "Master" at technical questions, but you fail miserbly at customer relations. By the way, some people need help with THEIR spelling before posting THEIR negative replies.

SOURCE: Maytag performa gas dryer no longer produces heat.

needs a new timer switch sometimes cheaper to buy another dryer (used)

SOURCE: No heat from dryer.

Do not buy or use a maytag performa dryer model number pye2300ay at all. I fyou have one unplug it and take to the landfill or scrap yard. They are complete junk and nothing but a hassle. One problem after the other on this model no matter what you do. they are complete trash and a waste of your money.
