If your Maytag Dryer is making a thumping noise, this is normal if the dryer hasn’t been used in a while. The thumping sound should diminish after a few minutes of use.
What to do if my Maytag Dryer is making a rattling noise?
If your Maytag Dryer is making a rattling or vibrating noise, check the front and rear edges of the drum for small objects and clean out pockets before laundering. Ensure the dryer is properly leveled, with all four feet in firm contact with the floor. If clothing is balled up, separate the items and restart the dryer.
Why is my Maytag Dryer not heating up?
If your Maytag dryer isn't heating, the drum may be turning, but you may not have heat. First, check your household fuses or circuit breakers. Electric dryers use two fuses or circuit breakers, so replace both fuses or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. Electric dryers require a 240-volt power supply, so check with a qualified electrician. For gas dryers, ensure the valve on the gas supply line is open.
Why are my clothes not drying in my Maytag Dryer?
If your clothes aren't drying well or drying times are too long in your Maytag Dryer, start by cleaning the lint screen before each load. Check the exhaust vent and outside exhaust hood for clogs; if there's no air movement when the dryer is running, clean the exhaust system or replace the vent with a heavy metal or flexible metal one. Ensure the exhaust vent isn't too long or has too many turns. Use a 4" (102 mm) diameter vent material. Avoid using the Air Fluff cycle for regular drying; select the correct cycle for your garments. Also, separate large or heavy loads to allow them to tumble freely.
How to fix a Maytag Dryer that will not start?
If your Maytag Dryer isn't running, first ensure the door is completely closed. Then, firmly press and hold the PUSH to START knob until you hear the drum moving. Also, check your household fuses or circuit breakers, as electric dryers use two. Replace both fuses or reset the breaker. Electric dryers need a 240-volt power supply, so verify that with an electrician. Finally, ensure you're using a time-delay fuse.
Why is my Maytag Washer making so much noise?
Various noises are normal for a Maytag Washer. You might hear metal items on clothing touching the basket, or the pump making a continuous humming sound with periodic gurgling as water is removed during Drain/Spin cycles. The hum of sensing spins and the whirring sound of the basket decelerating are also normal. However, objects caught in the washer drain system can also cause noise. Empty pockets before washing, as loose items like coins could fall between the basket and tub or block the pump.
Why won't my Maytag Washer run or fill with water?
If your Maytag Washer won't run or fill, there are several possible causes. Ensure both hoses are attached and have water flowing to the inlet valve, and that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on. Check for any kinks in the inlet hoses that could restrict water flow, and make sure the inlet valve screens are not clogged. Also, verify proper electrical supply by plugging the power cord into a grounded 3-prong outlet and ensuring there is power to the outlet. Reset a tripped circuit breaker or replace any blown fuses. Remember, the lid must be closed for the washer to run, and the washer will pause during certain phases of the cycle.
