The end of cycle buzzer on my Maytag dryer failed to stop. I turn the cycle dial and it shuts off, but something is staying on as I can hear a slight hum/buzz. To shut it off I must open the door. The dryer does not run at any cycle setting now.
I’ve checked the push-to-start button (Ohmmeter and bypass) and the door switch and they check out. I had noticed that for a while now the cycle dial would stick sometimes when it was set for a longer dry time. The dryer has always dried clothes very well, not taking too long, so I’ve simply not set the cycle time beyond a certain point. Doubt there’s a heat problem.
Before I replace the motor, is there anything else I should check? Possibly the cycle dial? Anything else?
I would not replace the motor until you do more troubleshooting. There will be at least one or two thermal fuses (cut-off) in the motor circuit. Also timer contacts.
From the earlier buzzer problems, the timer would be at the top of my list before the motor.
