Maytag Dryer Repair – Stow, OH (mce8000ayw)

A Maytag dryer in Stow was making noise when tumbling, though it was still drying clothes effectively. The customer suspected it might be a belt issue, but our diagnosis revealed something completely different stuck inside the drum.

The Problem

The customer reported that their dryer was making noise when tumbling. Despite the noise, it was doing okay drying clothes. They suspected it may be a belt causing the problem.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found that a sheet rock screw had gotten jammed in the slide area on the drum. This foreign object was causing the noise during the tumbling cycle, not a belt issue as initially suspected.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None required
• Work performed: Removed sheet rock screw jammed in drum slide area
• Result: Removing the screw definitely took care of the noise

Is It Worth Repairing?

Maytag dryers are generally built to last and respond well to proper maintenance. When the issue is simply a foreign object causing noise, as in this case, removal costs far less than replacement and restores full function immediately.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Dryers

• Check pockets thoroughly before loading clothes to prevent screws, coins, or other objects from entering the drum
• Clean the lint filter after every load to maintain proper airflow and prevent overheating
• Periodically inspect the drum interior for any foreign objects that may have gotten past the lint filter
