Maytag Dryers - Page 7 - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals
Working on Maytag centennial electric dryer for a friend with little money. No light inside of dryer but the bulb is good. I opened the back and tested the thermal fuse, element, thermostats and all have continuity with no wires attached to them. I tested the door switch and the start switch and both have continuity when in use. Power is coming into the timer although I don't remember which colors I had checked to see 240 volt. I bypass blue wire on timer and the white wire on the starter switch with the red stripe and plugged into 120 volt and ran the drum and motor for a while so I then changed out the timer but only to get the same result. The wiring connections on all the ends look to be in good shape. I hope to go back today and continue working. I don't know if I have received a new defective timer, or perhaps I should post the wiring diagram for this dryer on this site in order to get help. Thanks
Things that cause a dryer not to run: motor, broken belt, thermal fuse, timer, door switch, start switch, improper voltage, and wiring.

Maytag dryer becomes noisy mid-cycle.
If you have the time and patience, take the back cover off the dryer if that is physically possible and sit listening to the pulley that keeps tension on the drum drive belt. It could be that the pulley bearing is going bad and does not make a noise until after it heats up under load. Or if you are mechanically inclined, after all the trouble of actually being able see the tension pulley, take the belt off the pulley and try spinning the pulley by hand (with everything unplugged). If the pulley doesn't spin or turn freely, it is a candidate for replacement.
