I recently replaced the thermal fuse and high limit thermostat. After the replacement, the dryer was running very hot. My new thermal fuse quit working. Today I replaced both again along with the thermostat (31001088) but it is running very hot in all modes. If I don’t repair this, I expect the thermal fuse to go out again soon. What is my next step?
[SIZE=3]The most likely problem is an airflow problem such as the vent is stopped up or the blower is not working. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]On Maytag it is very common for the blower to strip out and not move much air. Most of the time when this happens it will be very noisy. http://www.appliance-repair-it.com/clothes-dryer-repair.html[/SIZE]
Thank you. I am not experiencing any excessive noise and I am getting plenty of exhaust at the outside vent. The dryer is very hot on all modes, even air fluff. Any other suggestions? Thanks again
[SIZE=3]I recommend replacing the element but as long as it is working you might be ok. The worst thing that would happen is that it will shorten the life of the element but if I were working on it I would replace the element. [/SIZE]
Long time to preheat most likely due to a bad oven igniter, but a CO2 detector went off and warm stove show something more serious and complicated. You may want to call a pro to diagnose it.
