since the air dry cycle is timed, it's the timer, but don't only take my word for it. |

Most likely the link between the shut-off solenoid and the selector switch has broken or fallen off.
It is the piece indicated as 3-12260 in the photo below.

has shown up here before - thread 565189 does cover it well.
But when it's too technical for your current knowledge base, it's too technical. My background is in IT, so these things don't bug me. When I have to work on a Filterflo, though, I come here screaming for help - how should I know that a 'bearing plate' is nothing but a punched out coffee can cover?
I've got a suggestion. Basically, this is the sort of problem that anybody who works on vintage radios and TVs can fix. They will understand how to check and replace the failed part and won't faint away dead over it.
If the Maytag guy can't help, try a vintage radio fanclub in your area. Begin by saying you've got a vintage board that needs recapping.

From the symptoms you are describing, I really think that the problem here was/is in the switch OR the linkage.
That it worked properly after you opened the console might mean that things were just a BIT off and the poking around got things back to normal? If the chime is dinging at the right time, it means that the electronic control is telling the dryer to shut off and that the shut-off solenoid is engaging. If the electronic control were the issue, the chime would not ring at the proper time. On these dryers, the solenoid's primary purpose is to pull the switch into the off position. It's secondary purpose is to the ding the chime. |
