Default Dryer won't stay powered on
Model Number: MDG5500AWW   Brand: Maytag   Age: 1 - 5 years   

Maytag Neptune dryper won't stay powered up after the power switch is pushed. It will however stay on after several times. Sounds like a relay in the left side of machine won't stay energized. Get's Error code PF, if you push the switch only once. What is the problem and what parts do I need to fix it.

Thanks,

Karl B Frederick

Most likely the problem with your dryer is a bad control board. It is not repairable and has to be replaced. The part number for the new control board is AP3882440 and you can buy it for $145.49.

The breakdown diagrams for the Maytag dryer with the model number MDG5500AWW you can find here: Model MDG5500AWW

If you need the complete step by step instructions how to replace the control board I'll be glad to help you.
Good luck.
Gene.
