We recently completed a commercial dryer repair at a Canton, OH laundromat where dryer #7 was operating for free. Our technician found the timer had failed, allowing the machine to run without coin activation.
The Problem
The customer reported that dryer #7 is operating for free. This meant customers could use the machine without inserting coins, resulting in lost revenue for the laundromat operator.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we discovered #8 dryer was running without coins. The timer mechanism that controls the coin-operated function had malfunctioned, bypassing the payment system and allowing free operation.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: WP33001275-TORSION TI — timer assembly
- Work performed: Installed new timer on dryer #8
- Result: Dryer now requires proper coin activation before operating
Is It Worth Repairing?
For commercial Maytag dryers in laundromat settings, timer repairs are typically cost-effective investments. These machines are built for heavy-duty use, and a functioning coin mechanism is essential for revenue generation, making this repair financially justified for most operators.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Commercial Dryers
- Clean lint from the exhaust system monthly to prevent overheating and timer stress
- Check coin mechanisms weekly for jams or foreign objects that could damage timer components
- Inspect door seals regularly as poor sealing can cause extended cycle times, overworking the timer
