  If your Maytag Dryer won't start, make sure the door is completely closed. Also, ensure you firmly touch and hold the START/PAUSE button for 2–5 seconds. Check your household fuses or circuit breakers, as electric dryers often have two. Replace any blown fuses or reset tripped breakers. Electric dryers need a 240-volt power supply, so consult an electrician to verify. Finally, ensure you're using a time-delay fuse.

  If you are not satisfied with your Maytag Dryer results, try these steps. If you want optimal drying times, turn off the Energy Saver option. Always clean the lint screen before each load. Check for any blockages in the exhaust vent or outside exhaust hood; clean them to ensure proper air movement. Ensure the exhaust vent isn't too long or doesn't have too many turns, and that it’s the correct 4" diameter. Make sure the dryer is level so clothes contact the moisture sensors. Select the appropriate temperature setting for your garments and avoid overloading the dryer. Check that fabric softener sheets aren't blocking the air outlet grille and only use one sheet per load. The room temperature should be above 45ºF (7ºC). If the dryer is in a closet, ensure there are ventilation openings.

  If your Maytag Dryer's drum is turning but not heating, start by checking your household fuses or circuit breakers, as electric dryers use two. Replace any blown fuses or reset tripped breakers. Electric dryers require a 240-volt power supply; consult a qualified electrician to confirm. For gas dryers, ensure the valve on the gas supply line is open.

  If your Maytag Dryer is making a rattling or vibrating noise, check for small objects caught between the edges of the dryer drum. Make sure the dryer is properly leveled with all four feet firmly on the floor, referring to the Installation Instructions if needed. Separate clothing items that may be balled up inside the dryer.

Why is the cycle time on my Maytag Dryer too short?

  If the cycle time on your Maytag Dryer seems too short, ensure the dryer is level, so the load contacts the sensor strips during Sensor Cycles. If you have a steam model and clothes are damp after the Refresh cycle, use the Timed Dry cycle with medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes. You can also adjust the dryness level setting on Sensor Cycles to increase drying time.

  If your Maytag Dryer is making a thumping noise, this is likely due to temporary flat spots on the drum rollers if the dryer hasn't been used for a while. The sound should diminish after a few minutes of use.

Why is my Maytag Dryer humming during the Steam cycle?
- J
  Jesse FowlerSep 1, 2025
  A humming or whining noise during the Steam cycle on your Maytag Dryer is normal. This sound comes from the water pump or water inlet valve running, especially if the dryer is newly installed or hasn't been used recently. The valve may make this noise even without a water line connected.
