- Dryer not heating. Run an empty heated timed cycle to confirm, rule out Air Only, then check both breakers and the 240-volt supply on electric models or the open gas valve on gas models. Source: Maytag Product Help - Dryer is Not Heating

Dryer Notes for Theodore, AL
Most dryer calls in Theodore come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Alabama does not issue a separate appliance repair license, and the state's heating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractor law expressly excludes work on household appliances, residential refrigerators and ice machines.
