Dryer won't dry clothes but heater coil works when I run it without clothes. I have replaced fuse and thermalstat located on heater coil. Any ideas? I have cleaned vent from behind dryer but not under house. Terry

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for MAYTAG SDE2606AYW DRYER- ELE | AppliancePartsPros.com

See the attachment for the tech sheet.

I am assuming that everything looks and sounds OK other than no heat.

Your problem is very, very weird.
I cannot see the vent causing this problem but that is where I would start.

Undo the dryer from the exhaust
Run a load
If the load dries correctly then you have a vent problem.
Clean/check the vent system. Make sure the outside louvers open fully.

If you do not want lint in the house.
Take a pair of pantyhose, put one leg into the other and attach this to the dryer exhaust.
Leave enough room behind the dryer so it can blow out like a windsock.
Run a load.

Both the above will allow you to check the air flow and temp.
Also the above is NOT recommended for a gas dryer due to possible carbon monoxide problems

Try to run a load of laundry, without the vent on. If it dry's fine, the vent would be clogged to the outside. Tom ********************************************
