- PROBLEM FIXED Did not check exhaust vent(outside)flapper was door jammed shut, freed it,now dryer works perfect,total air flow keeps safety thremostat in operating range,no longer(overheats) opens, and shut burner down.Probably did not need new parts.Live,and learn.
-   How long did your fix work? I have cleaned the outside vent over and over and it gets clogged again in an inordinately short amount of time (4-6 wks of light to normal use).

I have a maytag MDE7400 electric dryer. When I pull on the timer knob the dryer doesn't start. The IntelliDry sensor lights up in the ''damp'' area. The light inside the drum is working and the connection at the door seems to be the same as it was when it was working. I have removed the timer body, but cannot tell if this is my issue.
