# Maytag Dryer Repair

Full-size dryers in electric and gas versions, from a Whirlpool-owned brand that shares many of its parts.

## Maytag dryers, specifically.

Maytag pitches its dryers on toughness: a heavy-duty drum on commercial-technology models, an Extra Power option on many cycles, and long parts coverage on the drive motor and drum. It shares the Whirlpool family's display codes, but options like Pet Pro change what a normal cycle looks like, so the settings used are the first thing to ask about.

## What is particular to Maytag.

Maytag sells top-load and front-load dryers in electric and gas, Pet Pro models, and a commercial-grade residential dryer built with heavy-duty parts. Knowing whether the unit has Pet Pro or Extra Power explains a lot of cycle-length complaints before any testing.

### Pet Pro sends the hair to the lint trap

The Pet Pro option is designed to lift pet hair off clothes and collect it in the lint trap. In a home with pets that trap fills far faster than usual, and a matted trap slows every load after it, so it is the first thing checked when drying time creeps up.

### Extra Power is meant to run longer

Extra Power boosts drying on any cycle so thick fabrics, pockets and seams come out dry the first time. A cycle that runs noticeably longer with it switched on is the option doing its job, not a sign of a failing heater.

### The drive motor and drum carry long coverage

Maytag lists a 10-year limited parts warranty on the drive motor and drum for its laundry pairs. When a drum or motor is diagnosed, the purchase date is worth finding before anyone pays for those parts.

### No heat with a code, but the drum keeps turning

An L2 on the display means the house supply is low or missing on the heating side, and the dryer carries on tumbling while it shows. That combination points to the breaker panel or the power cord hookup rather than the element.

Parts

Mechanical and electronic parts come from the same family supply as Whirlpool dryers and are generally easy to get. The long coverage on the motor and drum makes the purchase paperwork worth keeping.

Repair or replace

A Maytag with a sound drum and motor is almost always worth a heating, sensor or belt repair. Replacement is only worth weighing when an older unit needs a control board as well as a mechanical repair.

## Questions about Maytag dryers.

### My Maytag dryer takes longer since I started using Extra Power. Is something wrong?

Probably not. Extra Power adds drying effort so heavy items finish dry, and a longer cycle is the result. Compare a normal cycle without the option; if that one is also slow, look at the lint trap and the vent, then book a visit.

### Why does the lint trap fill so quickly on my Pet Pro dryer?

Collecting pet hair in the lint trap is what the Pet Pro option is for. Clean it before every load when you use it, because a trap packed with hair restricts airflow for the next cycle too.

### Is the drum or motor on my Maytag still covered?

Maytag advertises a 10-year limited parts warranty on the drive motor and drum, so it may be. Find the purchase date and the warranty terms for your model before a drum or motor is replaced.
