Common problems
Sound familiar?
These are the dryer problems David sees most often in Broward County, and what usually causes them.
Tumbles but no heat
A blown thermal fuse or a burned-out heating element on electric Maytag models kills the heat while the drum still spins.
Clothes come out damp
A failed moisture sensor bar or a clogged vent ends cycles early; David tests the sensor and clears the vent.
Loud squeal or grinding
Worn drum rollers, a dry idler pulley, or cracked rear glides make Maytag drums screech; David replaces the worn rollers, pulley, and glides.
Drum won't turn
A snapped multi-rib drive belt or a seized idler pulley stops the drum while the motor hums; David replaces the belt or pulley.
Takes hours to dry
A lint-clogged vent or a weak blower wheel on Bravos units chokes airflow; David clears the vent line and restores airflow.
Dryer won't start
A failed door switch, thermal cutoff, or start-button contact leaves the Maytag panel dead; David traces the power path and fixes the fault.
Gas model has no flame
A weak igniter or a stuck gas valve coil keeps Maytag gas dryers from lighting; David replaces the igniter or valve coil.
Shuts off mid-cycle
An overheating high-limit thermostat or blocked airflow shuts the dryer off; David checks the vent and the thermostat.
Bravos error on display
A control board fault or a failed thermistor triggers Bravos error codes; David reads the code, then replaces the thermistor or repairs the board.
Burning or lint smell
Lint packed near the heating element or a scorched wire harness causes odors; David cleans out the lint and inspects the wiring.

Why it breaks
What actually goes wrong
Maytag builds dryers to take commercial-grade abuse, but Broward's heat, lint buildup, and power surges still wear parts down.
Most Maytag failures come from heat and lint. Constant use in Broward homes bakes the heating element and thermal fuse until they open, while lint in the vent traps heat and cracks thermostats. Drum rollers, glides, and the idler pulley dry out and squeal over years of commercial-grade cycles. Power surges can also fry the Bravos control board or moisture sensor.

Highly recommend! He was incredibly responsive and reliable, and was able to come out quickly to fix my dishwasher.

Honest, knowledgeable, and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to call him again.
I can’t thank David enough for fixing my oven. My neighbor recommended him, and I’m so glad they did. He was quick to respond, explained exactly what was going on, ordered the parts, and got everything working again. Reliable, easy to work with, and clearly knows what he’s doing. Highly recommend.
David was on time, friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He knew exactly how to fix the burner on our stovetop, and gave us some helpful advice for the future.

FAQ
Common questions about dryer repair
My Maytag dryer spins but won't heat. Is it worth fixing?
Almost always yes. It's usually a blown thermal fuse or heating element, not the whole dryer.
Can you repair Bravos dryers with error codes?
Yes. David reads the Bravos code on-site, checks the thermistor and control board, and tells you honestly what it needs. No guessing, no upsell.
Do you fix both gas and electric Maytag dryers?
Both. Gas models usually need an igniter or a valve coil; electric models usually need a heating element or a thermal fuse.
Why does my Maytag take forever to dry?
It's usually a clogged vent or a failing moisture sensor, not a broken heater. David clears the vent and tests the sensor so full loads dry in one cycle again.
