"What to check in a Maytag electric dryer when is irregular heating"

There are many reason why the dryer could take too long to dry the clothes.

I am going to show what to look for and how to take care of this problem.

The most common cause why the dryer takes too long to dry the clothes is because the exhaust hose gets obstructed.

The obstruction could be a kinked hose behind the dryer or a hose that is clogged with lint.

The next cause could be the operating thermostat not opening at the temperature they suppose to.

They could open too soon or they could open too late.

If the exhaust hose is clear and the dryer takes too long to dry the clothes, the easier thing to do is to replace the operating thermostat.

You don't have the appliance meter to check the dryer temperature.

Another thing to check is the blower wheel. The blower supposed to circulate the air inside of the dryer.

Also you need to make sure that the lint filter is clean and the air duct that the filter goes in to, must be also clean.

The dryer has to take air from the outside, pass it through the heating source, then through the inside of the dryer and exhaust it to the outside.
