i don't know. consider shutting off dryer, open the dryer door, turn off the main electrical source [shut off circuit breakers for dryer or unscrew fuses. shut the dryer door and turn breakers on and or fuses in. this may reset your machine's internal program. choose a new timed setting to see if all is OK.

It may seem crazy, but you have to remove the dryer door, and then take the door apart to be able to replace the handle! I've tried doing it without taking the door apart, and I only ended up damaging the door and replacement handle!

Hope this helps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-Rc0dKCiuw

I did A & B, B actually did the trick and I have had absolutely no problems. Possible Solutions A Power unit down by turning off the circuit breaker(s) for one (1) minute.

1. Power unit up by turning on the circuit breaker(s).
2. Start a time dry cycle.
3. Monitor the dryer for one (1) minute to ensure the error code does not display again.

B It indicates that the lint screen or vent is clogged; the vent is crushed, kinked or has too many turns. ... The dryer will continue to run when this diagnostic code is present. My dryer did the same thing. I cleaned all the vents thoroughly, if you are unable to clean inside where the vent screen is try this. remove lint screen, using tape or rubberband attach a empty paper towel roll to the end of your vacuum crevice tool. Also at the 99 cent store I purchased a appliance brush to loosen any lint inside before vacuuming. The brush works better then the one I purchased from Home Depot for $15. Vacuum the inside of the dryer, be sure to vacuum the very back inside and around the door. This is the tricky part now. The dryer flex hose actually has to be set just right. If the placement is incorrect you will get the error codes, dryer turns off after mins etc. Here is a Flex hose tip video. Hope this is helpful

if you are turning it from the inside of the dryer with ease then check to see if belt broke.

Only thing that comes to mind is,  it may be in "advertising" mode

Try Pressing the damp dry and sensor dry keys
for 5 seconds will take it out of the 
Advertising mode.

(In Advertising mode No functions will be run
except illuminating the LEDs.)

Check you flame. If the flame is very short (less than half way down the burner tube, it can be a gas pressure regulator failure. They are adjustable but that usually indicated it is about to fail. Make sure the flame ignites every time you hear the relay and solenoid valve click. The is a small panel on the front that can be removed to see the burner and the pressure regulator. The is a glow igniter that comes on several seconds before the gas is admitted. Confirm that works. Check at the dryer vent whether you smell gas once and a while which would be an indication of a failure to ignite.

have you checked the relay for the igniter and confirmed there is power to the igniter?

Check "repairclinic.com"

is the flame in the burner tube impinging on the cutoff? This can happen if the burner tip is dirty. The flame can then be asymmetric in the burner tube.

the bearing of the motor are worn out. I think you will need to buy a replacement. TO my knowledge the individual parts for the motor are not readily available (I hope I am wrong about the parts...)

Most likely cause for not starting is the door safety switch. press in the door hard while trying to start it. If that works then the adjustment of the safety switch is required. if that fails, check the functioning (electrically) or the switch it self

There are two coils on the gas valve that fail from time to time. Before changing them, check to see if you can light the burner by using something like a bar b q lighter or a long match as soon a the igniter switched off to confirm whether the gas valve is working. I have had the same problem and had to replace the coils on the gas valve. One of the coils is an opening and the other is a hold coil.

Failure to start spinning is usually caused by the door (safety) switch not working. Depending on what you broke off, you may have to replace the whole switch

The problem is likely the timer contact failure

It’s most likely caused by your Cycling Thermostat AP6007567. When this thermostat opens due to heat in the blower housing, the timer starts running. I believe this thermostat is bypassed in the Timed Dry mode. The thermostat is on the blower housing so you would have take the front off the dryer to access it.

The most likely cause is a lack of tension on the belt.? I'm not familiar with this particular model so here's a few diagnostic pointers; It may be that there's a spring-loaded belt tensioner that you've not properly reattatched.? I could be that there's a (or a couple) of tension-adjustment bolts, around the drive-motor, which can move the motor a little, to take up the belt tension.? It could also be that the new drive-belt is NOT the correct one for the job.? If there is no tensioner or adjuster, then the belt will be a 'stretch' type, which is a tiny bit undersized & needs to be gently levered into place on the motor & drum pulleys.? The old belt should have a part number on the webbing on the outside of it. Make sure that the new belt has exactly the same part number on it.?

Automatically resetting thermostatic switches have a natural lifespan. The more often that they trip-out, the weaker they get, so the more likely they become to trip-out. There's a good chance that yours has reached the end of it's lfe & will need to be replaced. If you're a good DIY'er, you can do it yourself.? If not, you'll need an engineer to come out to replace the part.

With the door open, push the door switch and turn the drum by hand clockwise while pressing the start button. Need 3 hands for this. If it starts to run then it's the motor switch. If the drum turns freely, it's the belt

I don't see the installation guide or specifications for the MDE7657AYW. However, most Maytag electric dryers (220 or 240V) require a 30A fuse/breaker. See https://www.maytag.com/content/dam/global/documents/201203/specification-sheet-I90013.pdf . I hope this helps. Cindy Wells (The gas dryers need a 15A breaker.)
