Dead dryer - fuse location mede300 maytag dryer purchased 2009

thermal fuse..or switch in the door is broke

Most times a dryer is dead is because of a air blockage of some sort causing a unusual buildup of heat inside while the dryer is in operation. On some maytag dryers (norge/admiral/monkeywards) the blower wheel tends to get loose and wobble. It cause overheating on top of the machine near the heater element. When the temp exceeds safe rang it pop the fuse which is about the size of a dime and located to the right of the heater element. Other maytag dryer have melting typ fuse mounted on or near the blower and outlet pipe. Check for ventpipes clogged with lint. Filter housings clogged with lint. I have several video I made that show where various dryer components are and what to look for HERE

This is usually caused by a blown thermal fuse or thermostat. You can test either one with an ohmmeter. You can find their locations (as well as purchase replacements) at www.appliancepartspros.com

yes

could be one on the control board, but I will bet if you had an electrical surge theres more than just a fuse gone

Hi, It sounds like the fuse inside the fryer might be bad. Here is a picture of the fuse.

To locate this fuse, insert a flat blade between the top and the front panel. There are 2 spring clips that will release the top. The heater and fuse are on the top rear of the drum. The fuse you willneed to test is #5 in the picture. If the fuse shows an open circuit, it will need replaced.
Please let me know if this helps you or if I can assist you further.

Thanks
Vic

In the back of the dryer. Look for the coiled heaters and follow the lead wires back to the fuse.

yes if you pop the top, the thermol fuse is on the side of the element.it is small and has two white wires too it.your dryer would be dead if it is open.also i recomend you cleaning the filter housing and your home ducting if that fuse is open[bad] God bless i'll be there if you need more help,by way of email tom

Since the vent was filled with lint I would check the High Limit termal fuse located on the front of the heater asm. It is best to replace the fuse and thermostat. These parts are part of a kit that can be purchased from your local supplier. The heater asm is located in trhe bottom left of the dryer. and looks like this
