We received a call from Homeworth about a Maytag washer and dryer set with multiple issues. The dryer timer wouldn’t shut off and the washer seemed to not be spinning out clothes completely. Our diagnosis revealed one genuine problem and one false alarm.
The Problem
The customer reported that their dryer timer don’t shut off and washer seems to not be spinning out clothes completely. This combination suggested potential issues with both appliances in the laundry pair.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we found that the washer was spinning out like designed — no actual malfunction there. The dryer did need a new timer as suspected, confirming the customer’s observation about it not shutting off properly.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None — customer chose not to proceed
- Work performed: Diagnostic evaluation of both appliances
- Result: Customer took a different route and no longer needs repair
Is It Worth Repairing?
The Maytag Performa and Gallery lines from this era were solid, middle-tier appliances. A timer replacement on these dryers is typically a straightforward repair that can extend the appliance’s life significantly. However, every customer’s situation is different, and sometimes replacement makes more sense than repair.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers and Dryers
- Clean the dryer lint filter after every load to prevent timer and heating issues
- Run washer cleaning cycles monthly with Maytag-approved cleaners to prevent buildup
- Check dryer vent hoses annually for blockages that can strain the timer mechanism
