Good afternoon everyone,
I visited a customers’ Maytag w/m today which was overfilling, and fixed the problem by reconnecting the vacuum hose which had come off.
The customer then asked if I could advise on her Maytag T/D, which she reported as getting very hot.
I was unable to spend much tome on this problem, but confirmed the dryer should run cool for the last few minutes/cycle which it is not.
As I have no experience on these dryers, could someone let me know if the thermostat/s can cause the heater to remain on throughout, or if I should be looking elsewhere?
The only faulty TOC’s that I have renewed have naturally resulted in the heater not working, and wonder if they can cause the above fault.
Regretably, I didn’t test the original TOC’s due to the fact I was running a little late.
I have done a litle research online, and ascertained Maytag provide a TOC kit, but would like to be a little more sure that this is where the problem lies.
Best wishes,

Re: Maytag AYE2200AGW Tumble Dryer
The 10 min cool down is controled by the timer, just like most dryers with a mechanical timer, so that would be 1st thing I would check. I would also check that fluff is not obstructing the airflow HTH

Re: Maytag AYE2200AGW Tumble Dryer
I have just been quoted over £200 for the timer ass’y!
Inter-Spares are in the process of confirming the cost, and I am unsure how to verify that the original is faulty.
Wondering if someone can help in the above test procedure, as it seems to be such an obscure fault.
Best wishes,
