Here are your parts See the attachment for the tech sheet. Here is a manual Replacement parts for Maytag MDE6700AYW DRYER- ELE | AppliancePartsPros.comYou have to join the site to download the manual but it is free and this is a very good site for manuals and other info for the appliance repair DIYer. When you checked the power did you only check for the 220 volts or did you also check for 120 volts between L1 and Neutral. This is what powers the control board. Sometimes you cxan loose Neutral without tripping the breaker. |

I am guessing it is the main circuit board..but is there a way to be sure? It costs $180 dollars and would like to be relatively sure before ordering.

You said no lights work, did this include the interior light?
It uses the same side of the line as the control board. |

There is no power to anything except to the terminals on the back where the cord is attached...no lights ...no readouts...no digital screen therefore no error codes.....nothin...dead in the water..120v to eacfh side and 240v across L1 and L2...

It sounds like you are not getting power to the control board.
I would start by checking out the door switch (interior light circuit)
Unplug the unit and the door switch and then check it with a meter using ohms.
If OK then you will have to do a live check.
With one meter lead on Neutral you should have 120 volts at the Common on the switch.
Also 120 at the NC (Normally Closed) connector with the door open. |

Looking at my earlier post I did not include the manual so here it is http://appliancejunk.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=69Since the control board is getting power you should see some signs of life. I would try the following and if that does nothing then I would replace the control board. It is a bit of a crap shoot but it is the most likely cause. Connector Cleaning / Checking Unplug the unit Open it up Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board. Clean the edge connector. If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive. Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here. Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates. Reconnect everything and give it a try. |
