Our service calls include diagnosing the problem and completing repairs quickly, as well as recommending maintenance to extend your dryer's lifespan.

Dryer Fails to Heat Up

If your Maytag dryer drum turns but isn’t heating, it could be time to replace the thermal fuse, thermostat, or heating element. These issues can be caused by blocked vents, a clogged lint screen, or frequent overloading. In gas models, a lack of gas flow could also be the problem. A Maytag dryer repairman from Sears Home Services can resolve these issues quickly.

Dryer Vibration and Noise Issues

Strange noises or excessive vibration in your Maytag dryer may indicate a failed dryer drum seal, worn glides, or damaged rollers. Overloading or foreign objects can also cause damage. If you're experiencing these symptoms, a certified technician can diagnose and fix the problem.

Dryer Not Running Properly

If your Maytag dryer won’t turn on or fails to run consistently, check the circuit breaker and power cord first. Other common causes include a broken door switch, faulty thermal fuse, or a failed motor. If the motor runs but the drum doesn’t rotate, it’s likely due to a broken or stretched belt. For these issues, it’s best to call a certified Maytag dryer repair expert.

Dryer Shuts Off Quickly

If your Maytag dryer shuts off too soon after starting, the problem may be a faulty thermostat caused by blocked ventilation or a clogged lint screen. In this case, the thermostat might overheat, creating a fire hazard. A repair technician can replace the thermostat and fix the underlying cause.

Preventive Maintenance by Dryer Repair Experts

Scheduling regular service ensures your Maytag dryer runs efficiently and avoids costly repairs. When you choose the Washer and Dryer Clean & Maintain package, a Sears Home Services technician will inspect your dryer and washer for wear and tear, check for leaks, and clean internal components to keep your appliances in top condition.

Maytag Dryer Repair FAQ

Is It Better to Repair or Replace a Maytag Dryer?

A well-maintained Maytag dryer can last over a decade. If your dryer is less than eight years old and the cost of repair is less than half the price of a new unit, it’s typically more economical to repair it. For major failures in older dryers, replacing may be a better option.

How Much Does a Typical Maytag Dryer Repair Cost?

The cost of a Maytag dryer repair service near you varies based on the issue and the parts needed. On average, repair costs range from $200 to $265. Common repairs like replacing a thermostat or thermal fuse cost around $150, while more complex repairs, such as replacing an electronic control board, can cost over $400.

If your dryer cannot be repaired, you’ll pay only a service appointment fee. Many repairs are covered under Sears Home Services appliance warranty plans.

Do You Need an Expert for Maytag Dryer Repairs?

While basic troubleshooting can sometimes resolve minor issues, it’s often best to consult a certified Maytag dryer repairman. Common replacement parts include heating elements, thermal fuses, thermostats, and door switches. Our technicians are equipped to handle repairs quickly, and Sears Home Services stocks parts for many Maytag models.

How Can I Prevent Expensive Maytag Dryer Repairs?

To avoid costly repairs, clean the lint filter after each use and periodically clean the dryer vents. Lint buildup can cause the dryer to overheat, leading to part failures. Scheduling annual maintenance with an appliance repair company can help extend the life of your dryer and prevent major issues.
