If the problem you are having is that your Maytag electric dryer is not starting, these are the parts you will need to check until you find and correct the problem.
The right voltage have to be present at the wall outlet for the dryer to be able to start.
Some dryers have one thermal fuse and some have two thermal fuses wired in series with the motor.
If any of the thermal fuses are blown that could be one of the reasons of your dryer not starting.
The timer is the distribution center in the dryer, the timer will send the right voltage to each of the individual parts in the dryer.
Most common problem with the timer, is burnt contacts.
The motor is in charge of turning the tumbler, turning the blower to circulate hot air inside of the dryer and making sure that the heating element won't come on when the dryer motor is not running.
A bad or weak motor could be the reason for your Maytag dryer not starting.
The door switch is a safety device use to prevent the dryer motor from starting or running when the door in the dryer is open.
Burnt contacts or a broken actuator on the switch could be the reason that the dryer is not starting.
The push to start switch is single pole single throw switch that is use to start the motor.
Once the motor starts running the switch is no longer in the motor circuit.
A bad push to start switch could be the cause of your dryer not starting.
Burnt terminals or wires on the cord could be the reason for your dryer not starting.
As you can see, if any one of these parts fails the dryer will not start.
