[FONT=Arial][COLOR=green][FONT=Arial]When I start my dryer, no matter which timer position I select, the timer doesn’t turn from that point, and the dryer never stops as the result. I think I need a new timer. Please advise if this is correct and if a non-professional with some electrical knowledge can do this.[/COLOR][/FONT][/FONT]
Thanks a lot. Your detailed reply really helped. I was so happy when it worked the very forst time after I put everythuing together, but now it works intermittenly only - depending on the position of the timer that I set. Did I get a bad timer again or there could be something else? In most of the cases the timer dial never changes after I set it and pushed start and dryer just keeps going. Please advise.
Make sure you got the right timer; Correct part number according to your model is 285078.
On Maytag parts, the number is usually inked onto the body of the part. I have seen bad parts right out of the box. It is rare. If you have a way to check for continuity, check the push-to-start switch and see if it sticks. Unplug it first. I have seen heaters shorted to ground, also, but this usually results in the heat continuing after the motor stops.
[SIZE=3]Although I didn’t get to the door switch, it seams to be fine, because every time I open the door, the dryer cycle stops.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]As to the whether the timer motor gets 110-120VAC, I found out that its getting the voltage only when I hear a click at a certain position of the timer dial and the voltage disappears at the one of the three “Off” positions on the dial (when it sounds a buzzer).[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]The problem is that those clicks that start the bring voltage (and start the timer motor), actually located almost at the end of the dial – practically right before each of the “Off” positions. This is weird. I think when I had a good timer, I heard those clicks at each label on the dial, such as “More Dry”, “Less Dry”, etc. So, does this mean for sure that the new part is defective? Might there be anything else wrong?[/SIZE]
Maybe because I am not that technical, I didn’t exactly understand what I should do next. Could you please explain in simple, layman terms?
The oven works but the clean cycle doesn’t come on, the locking device does not lock
Need to replace the Coil Valves and do not have schmatics. Where is it located and how do I access it?
