Thread: maytag dryer heats but motor doesn't turn

Hi,

Model#?

http://www.applianceaid.com/model.htmlSome model# helps.

**When timer is started the machine heats but motor only humms. (maybe the heat element is humming?)**

Make sure the heating element is not shorted to ground. http://www.applianceaid.com/grounded.htmlSome tips on that.

If you can post the model# that would help us as maytag does have different type models.

Could be a timer issue ora start relay problem.

Motor turns ok by hand when its installed in the dryer?

Yes, motor turns by hand when installed.

Where is start relay? THANKS, Steve

**Where is start relay?**

There isn't one.

Some Maytags had a start relay in the console, but as Jeff said yours does not.

You have a start switch on the motor itself, but if you already changed the motor then it should have come with the new motor as a assembly.

That Link Jeff gave you should help with your dryer problem.

It was the thermo fuse right in the front. So I wasted over $100 for the motor BUT it did force me to learn how to use a Multimeter - I learned how to check voltage - 220 and 110 and I learned how to check "continuity".

Thanks for all your help.

Applianceaid.com was VERY helpful!!
