Could be one of the limits on the heater housing or the element itself. To get to them on this dryer you must remove the door then you can get the goalpost shaped front panel off. Then the drum support can be removed and drum itself. The Applianceman has a marvelous youtube video which shows how to get into the dryer.

Have you checked the door switch, thermal fuse on the heater housing(this will keep it from starting).

Try typing in '"Maytag" in the box to look for things, or go to "Sears Parts" and give your model number and see if a manual is available. Call or e-mail some dealers to find what you need. Be blessed.

Go to appliance411.com. You'll need the serial number.
