What Makes Maytag Dryer Repairs Different

What Maytag Says to Check First
- Noisy dryer. For pounding, check that none of the four legs is missing, and for knocking or rattling, clear pockets before drying. Source: Maytag Product Help - Sounds or Noises in a Dryer
- Dryer takes too long to dry. Clean the lint screen, check that the vent is metal, short and not crushed, and make sure the outside hood flap opens freely. Source: Maytag Product Help - Dryer is not Drying or Experiencing Long Dry Times
