Is there a reset button on Maytag dryers?
Maytag dryers boast several features, including a high performance motor, reduced vibration, moisture sensors, wrinkle-prevention option, variable dry for different items and fabrics, and different temperature settings. One thing that Maytag dryers do not have, however, is a reset button.
Why did my Maytag dryer stop working?
If your Maytag dryer won’t start, just clicks, and multimeter testing of the fuse reveals no continuity, it’s either blown or defective. In both cases, the fuse can’t be repaired and must be replaced. Even if you don’t suspect overheating, a blown thermal fuse warrants a dryer vent inspection.
Why is my Maytag dryer running but not heating?
If your Maytag dryer is not heating, it is possible that it is not being supplied with the proper voltage. Most electric dryers require two legs of 120 volts AC that is equal 240 volts. If one leg of voltage is shut off by a tripped breaker or blown fuse, the dryer may be able to run but it will not heat.
Why does dryer turn on but not spin?
One of the most common reasons your dryer won’t spin is because the drive belt is broken. To find out if this is the problem, open the dryer door, reach in, and attempt to turn the big circular tumbler—the drum—by hand. If it turns too easily, the belt has probably snapped and needs to be replaced.
What’s wrong with a dryer when it doesn’t spin?
A broken drive belt is the most common reason a dryer won’t spin. To fix this issue, turn the drum by hand. A working belt should provide some resistance, so if the drum turns very easily and loosely, the belt is probably broken.
Why is my Maytag dryer blowing cold air?
