I Have A Maytag Dryer That Will Not Heat. I Pulled The Heating Element Out And Looked Online To See If There Was One Avaliable. I Found Out That My Heating Element States That It Is 240v 5400w, But The One That Is Listed Says That It Is 240v 5200w. Will This One Still Work Or Is There Another One That Will Work? Also There Are No Breaks In The Coils Of The Element, So Will This Be My Problem Or Is It The Thermostat That Needs To Be Replaced? Please Help!
You probably have a worn clutch due to bad brake shoes. Go to my "sticky" "replacing direct drive brake shoes" for info on this.
