Hey. Moms dryer was working fine this morning until it wasn't. The clothes were almost dry when it stopped but now it's not heating. It's 24 years old and has only needed a new blower in that time. Where to begin. I'm having to diagnose over the phone at the moment cause I'm working. Gas coils? Hi temp switch...vent is clean. Or maybe igniter? I can't get down there for a couple more days.

Change the burner coils
However, it can be a pain in the neck on that model, because the gas valve is located right under the duct that goes up into the back of the drum.
I had to do this about six months ago. It’s very difficult to get the two screws out of the burner valve, but it can be done. It would not hurt at this age to take the whole dryer apart and lubricate the rear rollers, idler, pulley and possibly change the belt. Also check and make sure the blower is not starting to come loose again from the motor shaft. Nice thing about this washer and dryers that use most of the same parts the regular Maytag‘s did We still have a couple hundred customers that have these machines they’re great money making machines because every couple years there’s something wrong with them and they’re usually worth repairing until the damper in the washer. Craps out that’s what usually kills these in our area. John | ||

Well it turned out to be the igniter. Everything tested out. I went ahead and swapped the coils while I was in there since I had them ($8). Cleaned everything inside and serviced it. Brought my dryer vent cleaning brush that goes in a drill and scrubbed the whole duct while I was down there. The old igniter had a crack. It's the original one. If this new one lasts as long we will be in good shape. Thanks for the advice. John, thanks for the warning about reaching the coils. It helped knowing ahead of time that they are in the very back. But it's fixed now and Mom's happy. (Dad too since we didn't have to buy a new set).
