A Canton homeowner called about their Maytag dryer that wouldn’t respond when the door was closed. When you shut the door to dry your clothes the display does not come on. We found the main control board had failed completely.
The Problem
When you shut the door to dry your clothes the display does not come on. The dryer appeared completely dead despite having power to the unit.
Diagnosis
Main board has 120 to it, should have five bolts DC going out to user interface and has nothing. The control board was receiving proper voltage but failing to send any power to the display panel.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: W11537223 — Board
- Work performed: Replaced main board
- Result: Unit is heating and tumbling. Good to go.
Is It Worth Repairing?
Maytag dryers are generally reliable units that can run for many years with proper maintenance. A control board replacement on a unit that’s otherwise in good condition typically makes financial sense, especially if the drum, motor, and heating system are still functioning properly.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Dryers
- Clean the lint filter after every load to maintain proper airflow and prevent overheating
- Check and clean the exhaust vent annually to prevent moisture buildup and reduce drying times
- Inspect the door seal regularly for wear or damage that could affect the door switch operation
