Maytag Dryer Is Not Heating Enough - How to fix?

When your Maytag dryer gets warm but not hot enough to dry the clothing, you have to look this short guide through. Make sure the controls are set properly. If you’d like your dryer to use a heat the “Fluff Air” or “Wrinkle Prevent” settings shouldn’t be selected. The “Fluff Air” cycle will spin the drum and blow room temperature air, with no heat. The “Wrinkle Prevent” setting can be used with any cycle and will spin the drum after the cycle finishes, without heat. If so, you probably have lint in the dryer that is clogging up the system and keeping it from getting as hot as needed. Take it apart and totally vacuum it out. Take it apart and put it back together before doing it yourself. Be sure to unplug it and turn off the gas to the dryer before beginning. The heating element in your electric dryer is made up of a metal chamber and coils. When you turn your appliance on, the electricity running to the dryer heats up the coils, and in turn, the air blowing through the component’s metal chamber is heated and sent into the appliance’s drum. If the heating element is faulty, the coils won’t get hot, meaning the air circulating through the drum won’t dry your clothes. When a heating element is defective, you can often see the problem by performing a visual inspection. If the coils are burnt out, you’ll need to replace the component. The solenoid coils are used to open the gas valve and allow gas to flow into the burner assembly. If you see the igniter glowing and then shutting off without establishing a flame, then one or more of the gas valve coils have failed and should be replaced.
