OK - I'm working on this, but (and this certainly reveals my novice-ness) I am not 100% sure what the centrifugal switch is. Is it the housing on the motor that the wire harness clips into?

And ... assuming this is the case, I cannot get either of the wires to budge from the wire harness.
I ran a continuity test on the black wire with one lead on the spade at the heating element and one lead on the wiring harness, and it showed that the wire itself is good. Don't know if this helps at all.

Got it fixed! Not quite sure why it didn't heat when it was put back together, but in sum the only real thing we changed this time was the PULLEY of all things. The sticky that shows the pulley diagrams just shows one option for Maytag dryers, but ours is actually reverse from this (ribs against the drum). When the ribs were out, it would spin very slowly, if at all.

Congrats on finding the problem.
You are definitely no longer a novice at dryer repair.
And thanks for getting back to us. Now when others search for a similar problem they will see what actually worked instead of just suggestions about what could be the cause. |
