Solved! Maytag dryer is not heating

As a rule, dryer malfunctions take place after long-term violation of the maintenance requirements. Factory defects are extremely rare. Nevertheless, even the most reliable equipment of well-known brands needs repair over time. One of the most common breakdowns that can happen with your Maytag dryer is a situation when the dryer does not heat the air inside the drum. The easiest way to detect such a malfunction is to touch the door. It is usually hot while the dryer is working. If it is cold and you are not satisfied with the quality of the dry linen after the finished cycle, then your appliance refuses to work properly. Check to see if the thermistor works without problems. Thermistors are an important component of dryer circuitry. Dryer thermistors are located in the airflow conduit that carries heated air into the dryer's cavity, which contains clothes and other materials that are being dried. They are wired to a central circuit board, called a control board, that synchronizes the dryer's operations and processes user input. The control board reads the resistance levels of the thermistor to determine the temperature of the air being propelled into the dryer. The circuit board uses data sent from the thermistor to determine when it should cut power to the heating element and allow the drying cycle to restart. If you have no idea how to check the thermistor functioning, contact our customer support for more details. It is necessary to replace a defective part to return normal functioning of your Maytag dryer. Use Maytag original parts only. Remember that proper maintenance is able to prolong your dryer’s life. Do not over-dry your clothes. If your machine has a moisture sensor, use it. Periodically, use the long nozzle tip on your vacuum cleaner to remove the lint that collects below the lint screen in the lint screen slot of your clothes dryer. Use the cool-down cycle to allow the clothes to finish drying with the heat remaining in the dryer.
