Why is my Maytag W10680141C Dryer making a humming noise during the Steam cycle?
If your Maytag dryer makes a humming or whining noise during the Steam cycle, it's likely due to the water inlet valve running. The water pump is used during the Steam function, and it may be louder and run longer if the dryer is newly installed or hasn't been used for a while. This is normal.
