We are sorry to hear about your concern with your Maytag Dryer not heating. Please see some troubleshooting times below. Is the Lint Screen clean? The lint screen will be located in the door opening of the dryer. A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time. It is imperative to clean your lint screen after every use. https://youtu.be/1ZlmHCFaCnQ Is there an AF Error Code or Check Vent Light on? A clogged exhaust vent system slows moist air from leaving the dryer and extends drying time. Run the dryer for 5-10 minutes. Hold your hand under the outside exhaust hood to check the air movement. If the air movement is less than a hair dryer on high speed, clean the lint from the entire length of the system and the exhaust hood. https://youtu.be/Ge0JUp9zUvo Does the home venting line need to be cleaned or tested? If a dryer is heating but still has long dry times, the likely cause is a vent issue or restricted airflow. The venting going from the dryer to the outside of the home must be cleaned every one to two years or as needed when dry performance has decreased. You can also contact a professional vent cleaning service and have your vent inspected for obstructions. Regular dryer vent cleaning will: Reduce Drying Time Increase Air Flow Reduce Energy Cost Dryer Vent Testing Kit At Maytag, we understand the importance of keeping your home safe and your appliances running efficiently.

Cycle selection is important. If the clothes don't reach the desired dryness level, try selecting a different cycle, such as ""More Dry"" or ""Regular."" Quick Dry and Rapid Dry are timed cycles designed to dry smaller loads. If clothes are too wet after the cycle has been completed, try running the Quick Dry or Rapid Dry cycle again. For best performance, use an automatic cycle. Was a Steam Cycle selected? Steam cycles are optimized for large, normal, or heavy loads. Using this feature with smaller loads could result in wet spots or condensation on the door or interior drum. The dryer will automatically tumble, pause, and introduce a small amount of moisture into the load to help reduce static and relax wrinkles. This option adds approximately 3-8 minutes to the total cycle time. It is recommended to use this cycle, with wrinkle-free cotton, cotton-polyester blends, common knits, and synthetics, as it is best for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing odors from dry loads. Refer to garment care label instructions. Dry-clean-only garments are not recommended. Is the dryer level? If the dryer is not level, clothes may not come into contact with the moisture sensors during Automatic cycles. See your Owner's Manual for leveling instructions. https://youtu.be/_qbgpmGh1wo Have you tried changing your Factory Dryness Level? You can make adjustments to your Automatic Cycles by adjusting the Factory Dryness Level: If all your loads on all Automatic Cycles are consistently less dry or drier than you would like, you may change the default settings to increase or decrease the default dryness level.
