Maytag Dryer Repair

A Maytag dryer that stops heating or produces a burning smell is a functional and safety issue that requires prompt attention. Maytag MEDB and MEDX electric dryers and their Bravos XL and Centennial counterparts are reliable machines, but thermal fuses blow on clogged exhaust paths, drum bearings wear at high cycle counts, and heating elements fail on older models. Our certified technicians carry the most common Maytag dryer OEM parts and complete most repairs in a single visit.

Common Maytag Dryer Error Codes We Repair

Maytag dryers display fault codes accessible through the control panel diagnostic sequence. Common Maytag dryer error codes include: F01 (central control board fault), F02 (keypad/user-interface fault), F22 (exhaust thermistor open — often triggered by vent restriction), F26 (motor relay fault on MEDB Bravos XL models), F28 (moisture-sensor strip fault — clothes not drying accurately), and F30 (restricted airflow code — exhaust path blocked). F22 and F30 codes always require a full exhaust-duct inspection alongside the component repair.

Most Common Maytag Dryer Repairs

• Maytag MEDB and MEDX heating-element replacement (no-heat symptom)
• Maytag thermal-fuse and high-limit thermostat replacement (F22 fault, no heat after vent blockage)
• Maytag Bravos XL drum-bearing and glide-pad replacement (squealing or thumping drum)
• Maytag idler-pulley and drive-belt replacement on MEDX and Centennial models
• Maytag moisture-sensor strip replacement (clothes over-dried or drying cycle too long)
• Maytag control board (CCU) replacement on MEDB Bravos XL models (F01 fault)
• Maytag gas dryer igniter and gas-valve coil replacement on MGDB Bravos models

Exhaust Path Inspection — Included on Every Maytag Dryer Repair

A blocked exhaust duct is the leading cause of Maytag dryer thermal-fuse failures and F22/F30 error codes. On every Maytag dryer repair visit, the technician cleans and inspects the full exhaust path from the drum outlet to the exterior vent termination. A restricted duct that is not cleared will cause the replacement thermal fuse to fail within weeks. Maytag service documentation specifies a maximum exhaust static pressure of 0.75 inches of water column — we verify this after cleaning. This inspection is included at no additional charge with every Maytag dryer repair.

Control-board replacement on MEDB Bravos XL runs from $225 depending on parts availability. Gas dryer igniter and valve-coil work is priced from $165. All prices include diagnosis and a 90-day labor warranty.
