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

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.

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.)

It is under warranty, either call for service or return to place of purchase for another one. Warranty repairs are at no charge.

A thermal fues has to be in the main line wiring on one of the lines feeding the element. There are Im sure several different types. One that iIm femilure with looks like a resistor. Wire into a little silver looking cylender that may gge 3/32 or 3mm dia and less than 1/2 inch long. Plus t he electrode wires on one end its colored and tapered. The whole thing could be on a plastic or phenolic mounting being held by 1 screw. The wires 1 in 1 out will be on one side usualky this is yhe side thats exposed for you to see. And just to be clear there could be more sires tied on either end to opperate a virety of other things. So Im sure it has at least 2 wires....

bearing failure --thermal sensor failure

The clicking and inability to start usually is due to the top not being closed. Perhaps a small foreign body, or a piece of clothing is keeping the full closure from occurring. Inspect the full border carefully, it does not take much to prevent the closure.

Green with a yellow stripe is used as European Standard wire colour for earth (i.e. ground / chassis) so it probably joins to a part of the body (control head body to dryer frame?). The connector on the end of the wire should give you a clue, i.e. does it have a push connector (look for a spade) or an eye (to go on a chassis screw somewhere, often with a star washer under to improve connection)?

I believe that it does. All of these parts should be functioning properly in order to dry the clothes well.

F04 E04 means low power voltage to dryer - check both sides of AC receptacle for 110 to 120VAC on each side to ground - check breaker panel for tripped or bad 220VAC breaker. Only one side may be suppling voltage to dryer. https://www.6ya.com/callphilipforhelp

This question has already been answered in Fixya. Here is the answer from Lee Parker. >> you open the door you should see the hinges and a screw or two holding them. On the opposite side you will see the same screw or screws possibly holding door stops/bumpers, unscrew the screws, lift and remove the door, flip it over and put on other side moving the door stops if applicable to where the hinges used to be.

Powers ON but does nothing when you press the START button<?>. Does light inside the drum come on when you open the door? It may think the door is not closed . Make sure light comes on when door is open and goes out when closed. Could be failed door switch.

must have a defective on-off switch

Possibly a bad thermostat or a defective temperature switch

This video may not be the exact machine you have but will give you an idea on what it takes to remove the panel. https://www.hunker.com/13410752/how-to-remove-the-front-panel-from-my-maytag-clothes-dryer
