My everyday Maytag electric dryer (model GED 309) won't heat on any of the heat cycles. What do you all think is wrong and are repair parts still avaliable? I bought the dyer new in 1980. Thanks, Gary | ||

 Honestly it could be any of a half of a dozen things. Parts can generally still be found. Certainly thermostats and wire are easy to get. Timers are a bit dicier but there are still some of them around. I honestly don't know whether or not the heating element can be restrung in these if it is bad or if you need to replace the whole heater box. Without doing a 20 minute comparison of parts manuals I can't say if this heater was used on later models or not. | ||

Circuit breaker Check both circuit breakers, one might still be on, supplying power to the motor, the element, but not the heater. That might happen on occasion. | ||

The repairman was here while I was gone; he left a note and said that it was the heating element and will order one up. Thanks for your help. Gary | ||
