Should You Repair or Replace Your Broken Maytag Dryer?

Deciding whether to repair or replace a broken dryer can be a difficult decision. You don’t want to purchase a new dryer if your current one only needs a simple part replacement, but you also don’t want to be calling us again in a month if something else breaks.

Whether you should repair or replace your Maytag dryer depends on these key factors:

  • Appliance age: Dryers have an average lifespan of 13 to 14 years. If your dryer is approaching this age, future repairs could cost more than a replacement would.
  • Broken parts: Some parts and repairs are more expensive than others, so a replacement could be better than multiple expensive repairs.
  • Repair frequency: If your dryer has a new problem every few months, a replacement could cut down on overall costs.
  • Warranty status: Check your warranty status to see if replacement or repairs are covered. This can help you decide which choice is best for you.
  • Special features: If you love your current appliance, a repair can extend its life. However, consider an upgrade if you want improved energy efficiency or different features.

If your dryer has been in service for 10 or more years and needs extensive repair, such as a motor replacement, it may be best to replace the entire appliance. However, less expensive issues like defective drive belts and clogged vents may be worth fixing. Your Mr. Appliance service professional can help you make this important decision.

Should you repair or replace your Mayag dryer? Repair it if the repair is simple, such as a door replacement; the dryer doesn’t break often; the warranty is active and covers repairs but not replacements; you enjoy how the dryer normally functions. Replace it if the repair is complicated, such as a drum replacement; the dryer breaks often; the warranty covers replacement, doesn’t cover repairs, or isn’t active; you’d prefer upgraded features.

Common Maytag Dryer Problems We Fix

While Maytag dryers are reliable, they can still have problems that leave you unable to dry your clothes efficiently. Our service professionals have encountered a few issues when servicing Maytag appliances.

Get Maytag dryer repair service from an experienced local appliance professional — we’ll get the repair done right, regardless of the cause:

  • Dryer won’t heat: When a dryer won’t heat, it’s most often a blown thermal fuse, which you can prevent with regular dryer vent cleaning. It’s best to have your dryer vent cleaned at least once a year by our dryer repair professionals to prevent drying issues and fire hazards.
  • Turns off shortly after starting: If your dryer won’t stay on, its moisture sensor, thermostat, or control board might be broken. If you’re experiencing this issue, contact a service professional for immediate assistance.
  • Makes odd noises: If you’re hearing weird noises from your dryer, it could be a worn drum roller, belt, or bearings. An experienced service professional will need to fix the problem.
  • Won’t start: If your dryer doesn’t start at all, it could be a defective door switch, control board, start switch, or thermal fuse. Contact an appliance professional to get your dryer running again.
  • Doesn’t dry clothes completely: With too many clothes in your dryer, air can’t circulate efficiently enough to dry all your clothes. If that’s not the issue, it could be a blocked dryer vent, control board malfunction, or a faulty moisture sensor.
  • Timer is faulty: If your dryer is newer, electrical issues or problems with the control board can affect its performance. However, if your dryer is older, it may just be that the timer has worn out due to frequent use. You can replace just the timer or the control board to fix the issue.
  • Drum won't spin: If your dryer drum won’t spin, it’s typically due to a broken drive belt, motor, or pulley. For part repair and replacement guaranteed to help your drum spin again, contact your local Mr. Appliance professional.

What Is the Average Life of a Maytag Dryer?

The average life expectancy for an electric Maytag dryer is 14 years or more. The average gas Maytag dryer lasts 13 years or more.

Is It Worth Repairing a Dryer?

Whether or not it’s worth repairing a dryer depends on the issue, age of the dryer, if it’s under warranty, and your overall satisfaction with the appliance. If it’s getting older, requires extensive work, or you don’t love the dryer, consider replacing it.

How Do I Run Diagnostics on My Maytag Dryer?

Some newer Maytag dryers can display diagnostic codes on the control board to tell you what’s wrong. You will be able to troubleshoot a laundry list of items, including a squeaking dryer and beyond. That said, each model does this differently, so you’ll need to consult the owner’s manual to determine how to run diagnostics.

Why Would My Maytag Dryer Not Dry?

A Maytag dryer may not dry or heat properly due to a clogged dryer vent or an overloaded drum. If none of these situations are the case, contact a professional to examine the moisture sensor, motor, and other vital components.

Is There a Reset on a Maytag Dryer?

There is no reset button on Maytag dryers. To reset your Maytag dryer, you can unplug it, wait a few minutes, then plug it back in. This should reboot the system. If you’re still running into problems, schedule service with a professional to figure out what’s wrong.
