Maytag Gas Dryer Model: MLG2000AWW doesn't dry

I have a Maytag Gas Dryer Model: MLG2000AWW. About 2.5 years old, has been working fine and suddenly doesn't dry. It spins and goes through the motions, just not hot air. Checked lint filter and it's clean. What could be the problem and what troubleshooting can I do to fix it?

I had a similar issue, except that mine would sometimes fire and so eventually the clothes would dry. Still, it would fail to fire often enough that it took a long time to dry. So, I went through the steps of replacing the two gas valve coils (no improvement), and checked resistance of various parts (found no problems). The only thing noted that I didn't check was whether the motor centrifugal switch was working correctly. One thing I noticed is that the flame seemed sort of weak; I should have paid closer attention to that in the first place. I ended up finding that the interior of the flame tube nozzle was somewhat clogged with soot. The primary culprit, though, was the "jet" (I think that's the correct name) where the gas is dispensed from the valve into the nozzle. It's a 1/2" brass piece. Unscrewed it, cleaned it out, and the dryer worked like new!

Hope that helps someone. In my weeks (months, actually!) of trying to figure out this problem I didn't see a single mention of gas blockage or soot.

SOURCE: maytag neptune mlg2000aww door will not lock or spin

Removing the top cover of the dryer, you will find, in the front right, the machine electronic control board with a burned resistor. This resistor burns up when the washer lock motor fails. The lock motor and control board will need replacing. Parts cost will be around $220.00.

SOURCE: my stakable maytag washer leaves lint marks on the

new washer have what is called a washer drain protector, in other words it's a lint catcher for washers and your model has no such part. Do you use powder or liquid detergent? It seems to me that what you see is residue from too much detergent if you use powder. I've heard others with this complaint and to no avail can figure out the cause of this, at least from a view point of a simple wash.

SOURCE: Hi All

Probably cause is in the delay of the timer or malfunctioning water valves. Check them prior doing any other diagnosis

My Maytag dryer is 2 1/2 years old. I believe the belt is broken on my dryer. My gas dryer heats up and the drum turns, however,it takes a long time to dry my clother. Would this be the belt and is...

2 years parts and 1 year labor. Warranty work usually requires a sales receipt.

The only way that the belt would affect the dry time is if it is very loose.

First look for a clog anywhere from the filter to the dryer vent cap outside. The dryer vent hose should be clean (very little lint present). Any obstruction like a kink in flexible vent line (which shouldn't be used) will slow things down.

If it's none of these things, the thermostat or gas valve may be bad.

Pilot working but will not dry completely.

Check the burner vents--both intake and outlet for lint plugging. With the pilot working, it is supposed to heat a thermocouple which generates electricity that opens the main gas valve.

Maytag LSG7800AAW Dryer not working

Its Either One Of Two Problems If Its Electric Its The Thermostat but if its gas it can be either the thermostat or the igniter. If its gas you can watch the igniter or listen to hear if its lighting. If it lights its the thermostat cause if the thermostat is malfunctioning it will turn the gas off when it doesn't detect the flame. It turns the gas off to prevent your home from filling with gas. Hope this helps.
