First, open the door and turn the drum by hand to make sure it’s not seized. If the drum won’t turn or is very hard to turn, then you may have either bad drum rollers or something stuck in the blower. Okay, so the drum movement seems normal. Now you need to see if you’re […]
Model numbers MHS2000 MHW2000 MLE2000 If you have a unit with the MHS model number, it’s the same as the MLE and MHW units. Maytag labeled the washer MHS so they could be tracked at the assembly plant and just to confuse everybody else outside of the assembly plant. Here are some things to check […]

If you’re dealing with a problem where the […]
This can be a head scratcher because the heating element in a dryer should only come on when the drum is tumbling. There’s still power to the display and you can run diagnostics but the motor won’t turn on. In fact, this is one of those cases where simply running the diagnostics without any insight […]

All gas dryers come from the factory set up to run on natural gas. Some places, such as up here in extreme northern Yankeeland, use propane instead of natural gas. If that’s the case where you live, you’ll need to pervert the dryer to burn propane instead of natural gas. If you have an older […]
It was a crisp fall morning here in New Hampster when the call came in. Whirlpool Duet electric dryer, the sensing light comes on, control panel responds to the buttons, but it just won’t start running.

The Whirlpool Duet Sport dryer uses an “electronic control system” consisting of a dime-store calculator LCD display, a plastic touch pad, and a cheesy circuit board, all made in a Chinese sweat shop.
