Top 20 Maytag Atlantis MDE7400AY Electric Dryer Questions & Answers

The moisture sensor bar is attached to the bulkhead with 2-1/4 in. screws. 2 wires attach to the sensor bar. Very easy to replace in 5 minutes. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_dc2f9e0a44104720

Best guess is that one of the two solenoid coils on the gas valve is faulty, one has two connections and the other has three. Always replace BOTH solenoids even if only one has failed.

ON THE ELEMENT U HAVE THE HI LIMIT, THE THERMAL CUTOFF, AND THE OTHER FUSE FOR THE LIFE OF ME AT THE MOMENT CANT RECALL WHATS ITS CALLED LOL BUT SOUNDS LIKE THE ONE THAT BURNED OUT AS THE OTHER 2 ARE HIGHER UP

they are called baffles. and can only be accessed by getting to the outside of the drum. have to remove the body but u may have a bad baffle if the screw hole is busted up?

Is the dryer heating? If so try using dryer sheets and allow a bit more on the timer, if the clothes are still damp..If the dryer is running properly I see no other way to solve this.

most probably blower wheel is loose on shaft,need to replace or shaft witch leads to exhaust is blocked by something creating a back draft in dryer

anything involving gas have a certified technicien to do it,anything goes wrong your safety is at risk

Look at the expanded view here. The top comes off by lifting then the front panel with screws http://www.appliancepartspros.com/front-panel-lint-parts-for-frigidaire-nmer336fs0.html

Check the exhaust to make sure that it is not clogged.

Motor protection or high limit switch.

I would go to the "sears parts" website, and type in the model number of the machine, and you will see pictures of that machine with all the parts listed. You will get either a sears part number or a Maytag number. That website will also tell you that you can order the part. Then, if you go to other website of places that offer parts for sale, you will see that you can find a few (usually 2 or 3) other part numbers for that same part. If you do not wish to buy the part new from a dealer, type the part into the "e-bay" website, and you can get new or used parts even cheaper. Be blessed.

Probably the wheel nearest the heat source I would say. Nice video shows how to get inside this machine; If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

Sorry to say but it sounds like the heating element is on its way out... Happened to ours and repair was more than a new dryer so we brought a new one

Look at this video to help you fix the no heat issue.

First thin I would try is to check your thermal fuse for continuity with a ohm meter with the wires removed from the fuse and the dryer unplugged. Its located on the tunnel that in cases the heating element.Here is the part in case you find it bad.

Hi ALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR DRYER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO ANY WORK ON IT.Sounds like your problem may be the belt may have slipped off of the motor pulley, or idler arm pulley,faulty capacitor, or a faulty motor.Note: This method works for most front loading machines.If you have to check/replace/repair your drum motor,drum seals,belt,rollers, etc.If replacing drum seals be sure to use a good grade of weather proof cement to hold the seal/s in place, some seals are furnished with the cement to glue it in place.Remove the electrical console that holds the timer switch,start switch, etc. from the top of the dryer if necessary. Be real careful not to knock any of the wires off of the timer switch or other electrical connections. Remove the lint filter and the two screws that hold the filter housing to the top of the dryer lid.Then remove the top of the dryer by inserting a screwdriver between the top and frame on each side of the dryer to pop the lid up from the retaining clips.Note: Some of the tops tilt backwards on a type of hinge and do not have to be removed completly.Remove the front of the machine by disconnecting the door switch and removing the two screws located on either side of the dryer frame.Move the door and front of machine forward to remove.This will expose the belt,idler bracket and drum, remove the drum and belt and this will expose the drum rollers, idler arm bracket with pulley, and motor with pulley. Pay attention to the route of the belt, this will come in handy when you go to reinstall the belt and drum.Sometimes the belt will slip off of the idler arm or motor causing the drum not to turn.Note:The way the belt goes back on is, as the belt comes off the drum has to be doubled (pushed together to form a loop) and goes under the idler pulley then to the motor pulley.Here is a link to see a picture of your belt routing in case the belt is broken when you open your dryer:http://www.expertappliance.com/dryerbeltconfiguration.html While you have the drum out, I would recommend that you remove and lubricate the drum rollers.And also clean the shafts of the rollers as they will collect hair,dust,etc and cause problems and then lubricate the shafts and rollers with a good grade of machine oil like 3 in One oil or a vasoline type of lubricant. This will save you a problem later with the rollers getting dry and making a squeeling/squeeking noise, also check your drum rollers for flat spots, if they have flat spots on them this will cause a thumping type noise. You will need to replace the drum rollers if they have flat spots on them.Please take time to rate me

most likely its gonna be your coil kit, but it could also be ur gas valve,but the gas valve is not common. I would go with the silinoid coil kit first, its much cheaper too

If it won't run at all that probably is due so some sort of lint build up. To get into this dryer you remove the door first and since it is reversible you remove 2 screws on the opposite side as well and then the goalpost shaped front can pop off there. Then you remove the 2 things that hold down the top to the frame. Then you can remove the shrould. Then you can get the drum out. On the blower housing is a round fuse most likely it is blown. Their is another one just like it also near the blower. Check it as well. Clean her up and look for a loose blower wheel. That can cause the fuse to blow also. Now HERE IS YOUR SERVICE MANUAL. When did you say them cookies was gonna be ready? LOL If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

Heating element is probably out. It is in the back of the machine.
