Maytag dryer not tumbling
The belt
There is one part that makes the dryer tumble and that part is the belt.
Let say that you set the dryer timer on the regular cycle, press the start button and the motor starts running, and you feel the
dryer not tumbling.
Follow these procedures to find out if the dryer tumbles or not. With the timer dial set on the regular cycle open the dryer door.
Activate the door switch by pressing it and holding it down. Use your left hand to activate the door switch, and the right hand to press the push to start button.
If the motor runs, but the dryer drum won't tumble, most likely the belt is stretch or broken. A broken belt could be the reason for your
Maytag dryer not tumbling.
To replace a broken belt you will need to remove the front panel to be able to slide the belt over the drum.
On the older style dryers there is a square hole on the back to allow you to place the belt on the motor and idler pulleys after you have put the belt over the drum.
On the new style dryer you will have to place the belt on the motor pulley and on the idler pulley by feeling your way and not by seeing.
If the
Maytag dryer not tumbling or tumbles poorly you will need to check the drum support rollers and the idler pulley to make sure that they are in good working order.
Some times the belt gets twisted and rides the wrong way on the motor pulley, this could be the reason for your Maytag dryer not tumbling or tumbling poorly.
If you feel that the your dryer is not tumbling the way that it should, check & replace the belt. A new belt is not expensive and it will help your dryer work better.
We hope that this
Maytag dryer not tumbling page, has been of help to you.
