Hi,
My Maytag dryer decided out of nowhere to not start anymore. Nothing happened before which could have caused an issue. It just doesn’t start anymore.
I checked the fuse and the power cord, no problem there. If I open the door, the lamp inside switches on (and switches off if I close the door) so there’s power.
If I turn the dial to select a program, I can hear a faint humming sound, which seems to indicate that power is flowing. Then, if I push the start button, there’s a click but nothing happens, even if I keep pushing it for 2-5 seconds.
If I turn the dial to off, the humming sound stops and the start button doesn’t click anymore if I push it.
Do you have any idea what causes the issue or what I should be checking to identify the faulty part?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello Gilles, thank you for contacting us. We would recommend checking the push-to-start relay, part number PS11756830, and the start switch (RELAY-PTS), part number PS11756343. The switch starts the dryer when you press and release the button. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of help!
First tried heating element and thermal fuse with no luck. Ordered thermal cutoff and fixed problem. Had I used an ohm meter first I would have determined problem before having ordered heating element and fuse, as both had resistance. I wast just lazy and ordered the took the most common failed components first before taking dryer back off.
Pryed dryer top open and opened front door. . Unscrewed the 2 retaining screws. Pulled old switch from the wiring harness. Put new switch in place and replaced the retaining screws. Put new switch wire plug into the wiring harness. Before closing top, checked door switch function with dryer on. Dryer cut off when door open and when closed dryer started normally. . . Maint. Note instruction book should warn that letting door slam, which I did on occaision, broke the switch arm. Might save future problems.
