Maytag Hardware & Accessories - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

While the dryer is turning slowly advance the timer knob to the end of the cycle. The dryer should stop. It sounds as if the timer motor has died or is not being powered for some reason and is not advancing the timer.

It seems reasonable to me that the machine has a solenoid spring loaded to the off position and electrically opened to allow water in. Check the temperature of the water coming in. If it is cold then the fault is in the cold water valve, if hot then the hot water valve is the problem. I suspect you need a new water valve.

From the fact that if you tip it forward it will fill I would guess there is a shutoff float somewhere in your washer causing a problem.

Don';t throw the dryer away yet. Check the circuit breaker in the electric panel to see it it has popped. If it checks out ok then check where you plug the dryer electric cord in. There may be an overload pop-out button on the receptacle. If there is, reset it.

Check that exhaust air vent is venting air. If not, clear vent and retry. Check that heating element is heating. if not, check overheat switch for continuity with power unplugged. If you don't have continuity get new switch. If it reads ontinuity then suspect the heating element.

Check the door switch. It might be a small button under the edge of the door. It's possible it is stuck.

unless I'n missing something the water heater has nothing to do with your dryer. If you have an electric dryer and the tumbler is turning then you have electricity to the dryer. If however the tumbler is not turning check the wall plugin. It probably is a CFI plug and may need to be reset.

i found a 275BE timer assy on ebay, not sure if it is the one you need

YOU NEED TO LOOK IF THE POWER BELT IS BAD OR NEED ADJUST.WHEN POWER BELT NEED SERVICE ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS YOU WRITE ARE COMMON.

If you need more help post back!
Thumbs and testimonial are welcome!

Usually, washers, dryers and refrigerators have wiring diagrams & parts lists in a packet somewhere inside the machine. I think that for dryers they are usually placed inside the back panel where the timer would get installed or on some inside of one of the side walls around the dryer. If this answer doesn't help, please do not accept it.
Good Luck,
Gary

You might have a sensor problem that prevents the cycle from proceeding.
Most washers have a sensor that detects the water level, thus allowing the selection of Small, Medium and Large loads and the related water level.
Some sensors also use a breather tube, which can become clogged with fluff or debris, causing the same symptom.
Only when the sensor activates, will power be applied to the timer or rotary control unit's little motor, thus causing the cyle to proceed.

Hi,

If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly.

if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip....

If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.

check out this electric no heat tip...

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote about dryers and noises...

It will help you determine what is happening there...

More than likely it has a broken wire underneath that controls the spin. and agitation. I had an old Kenmore that the wire that controls these functions would break about every 6 months.

what you need is a frequency convertor. most modern day electrical equipment is 60 hertz. motors and transformers tend to burn up if the frequency isn't correct. they generate a lot of heat which burns them up.

Keep going. Voltage at the switch ? Voltage coming from the switch?None out then switch is bad.Voltage at the motor but not running? Motor is bad, Etc.

I no longer need your service. Thank you.

if the dryer cycles normally, it is most likely the elements or some part of the controls. turn the dryer on and check the voltage at the elements, if u have voltage then the element is bad.

if no voltage or not enough voltage, then u need to follow the circuit back to see were it stops.

if its on an old fuse system 1 could be blown, this would let it run without heating. the relay that turns the elements on could be bad and not engaging, if all this checks out then the timer is the culprit.

if u need more info msg me please
