Default Maytag Elec Dryer no power
Model Number: PYE3300AYW   Brand: Maytag   Age: 5 - 10 years   
Appliance Parts from AppliancePartPros.com
Hello, I have a Maytag Performa electric dryer that will not start. The main timer switch makes a very quiet buzzing sound when power is connected and the switch is turned to any one of the timed cycles. The single resistor in the back of the unit looks ok; could one of the temperature sensors be bad and cause the unit to not function?..do they act like fuses? I am a novice trying to save money so ANY help would be greatly appriciated!

*All power connections look great with no burn damage, etc.
*Breaker switch is operable and dryer is recieving power.
*Included pics are of resistor and lower exhaust temperature sensor.

Thanks for any help!

John,

Looks like the thermal fuse (#5 on the diagram) is bad. It comes as a kit with the hi-limit thermostat.

- The thermal fuse kit Part number: AP4242472

Part number: AP4242472

I love forums like this and friends like Gene. THe dryer is fixed! It was the secondary thermal fuse located under the heater power source. Total cost: about $27 after tax.

THANKS AGAIN GENE!
