Dryer does not operate in auto sensor modes

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3]Hi,

My Maytag dryer, DE712, runs and heats in the timed cycle only. I have checked the continuity of all sensors that I can find, and they all seem to be OK. I pulled the timer apart, and it is very simple inside, no contacts seem to be burned or pitted.

I have been told that the timer is probably the problem, but I am not so sure. With the contacts all appearing OK I suspect something else. Why would the one cycle work but the automatic sensor cycles not work if the timer was not working ? The motor seems to work, because the[/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=3] timer will rotate the knob during the timed cycle.

It would seem as if there is something in the auto sensor side of the unit.

I would prefer an email to my personal address if possible, it is just easier to find.

Thanks, Doug [/SIZE]

Hi Gene,

I have been able to scan the Electrical Wiring Diagram and the Ladder Diagram for the Maytag DE172. They use Dell Image Expert program to make the scanned image. I can only hope that whatever software you have, that the file will be compatible.

I do not see any way to attach the two files that I now have. Can you send me an email or some mode of contact that I can attach these two files. I tried a copy and paste of this image file, but that did not work.

Thanks again, Doug

Dispenser is not working. It’s as though the power was turned off. Everything else works fine. Trying to get into the front to check switch and such, but how do you get the front panel off? Afraid topry too much.
