We serviced a Maytag dryer in Canton, OH that was spinning but not heating. The customer reported the dryer spins but does not heat, and our diagnosis revealed failed gas coil packs that needed replacement along with a worn belt.
The Problem
The customer called because their dryer spins but does not heat. The drum was turning normally, but no heat was being generated during the drying cycle.
Diagnosis
Our inspection found that the gas coil packs had failed, preventing the gas valve from opening to ignite the burner. We also discovered the belt needed replacement during the repair process.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 279834 — gas coil valve, 341241 — belt
- Work performed: Installed new gas coil packs and belt
- Result: Dryer now heats properly and operates normally
Is It Worth Repairing?
Maytag dryers are built to last, and this model HYG3658AWW is a solid unit worth repairing. Gas coil pack failures are common on older Maytag gas dryers, but once replaced, they typically provide years of reliable service. The repair cost is reasonable compared to replacement.
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 lint buildup that can cause heating issues
- Inspect the belt periodically for fraying or stretching, especially on older Maytag models
