Maytag Dryer Lines and Features
How Maytag Dryers Are Built
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
- 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 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
