Know Your Maytag Dryer
How Maytag Dryers Are Built
Clicking from the gas valve during a cycle on a gas dryer is normal. Source: Maytag Product Help - Sounds or Noises in a Dryer
Electric Maytag dryers need a 240-volt supply on two 30-amp breakers, one for the motor and one for the heating element, so one tripped breaker can leave the dryer tumbling without heat. Source: Maytag Product Help - Dryer is Not Heating
What Maytag Says to Check First
- Dryer not tumbling. Confirm the controls have power, hold Start with a dry fingertip, and check that the power cord is installed correctly with tight terminal screws. Source: Maytag Product Help - Not Tumbling or Spinning - Dryer
- 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
