I have a stacked Maytag Neptune Washer Drier. Over the past several weeks it has been harder and harder to get it to regularly dry clothing and other items. I put them in, set it to automatic, and walk away. Sometimes when it finishes the clothes are dry, other times a bit damp, but often very wet still. The drum is tumbling, but I don't always feel heat, even after the drier has been running for several mintues. I've check the circuit breakers (read someplace that if one fails it will stop heating) but they're fine. I have found that it SEEMS like if I change the "intensity" (regular, medium, delicate, air dry) before I start, then it dries better. Just flipping between settings a couple of times. Any thoughts?
I have a Maytag MUG2000AWW stack drier that heats intermittently. I opened mine up tonight and found that the connector to the gas valve doesn't seem to be making contact. It's on tight, but I can push on that connector while the gas ignition heater's hot and the valve clicks on. I'm off to the store for some terminals tomorrow to improvise a replacement.
Mj, 90% of the time long dry times are caused by a pinched or clogged vent. Other things that could be causing this are: cycling thermostat trips too soon, if your dryer is a gas model, weak gas valve coils, drive motor centrifugal switch not allowing voltage to the gas valve or heating element. Check the harness to the motor to make sure it is on tight. Catriver...post back.
