Thermal limiter maytag bravos dryer

Question edited for clarity and accurate names of parts.
Question moved from Cars and Trucks to Maytag Bravos.

Sometimes you will find a circuit diagram in a plastic bag hidden in the machine somewhere.. They are not normally available online.

The video should show you the replacement of all your parts. Pause to see the wiring.

Hi Patricia,here's a video on replacing your thermal fuse, How to Replace Maytag Electric Dryer Thermal Fuse

Pull the back of the dryer off and see if the thermal fuse near the dryer tumbler motor is blown.

Lots of videos here about that problem.

Which thermal fuse. The one on the heater or the one on the lint filter housing? If it was the one on the heater did you replace the thermostat too.
Is the dryer vent blocked, has too many elbows, or too long or otherwise restricted, or is the dryer overloaded.

The thermostat is controlling the temperature, however the Heating Coil may be defective. Check the COIL.

Here is a link to maytag dryer repairs http://apcoappliancerepair.wordpress.com/?s=maytag+dryer . The most common problem is the thermal fuse. My question is. Does the heating element start to light. If not...... and you have changed the ignitor and thermal fuse. Then check the flame sensor to see if there is continuity threw it. Power to the gas coils and ignitor runs threw the flame sensor. CLICK HERE to see a flame sensor on a GE dryer. They are the same on most units but Maytag will be on the opposite side of burner chamber.

The Thermal fuse could have gone bad. It comes as a kit with the hi-limit thermostat. Here's the link to the thermal fuse kit:

Check the Hi Limit thermal fuse. It is likely blown

The thermal limit mounts beside the heater element chamber and is held to it by the same screw that holds down the element.

The kit comes with 2 limits one fer gas the other fer electwic.
