When I pushed the knob to start it would make a buzzing sound from the panel. Now it wont start at all & theres a burning smell from the timer. Im thinking thats what I should replace…whats your opinion? Thank you!
I would agree with you. The timer part # is 53-1810. Tom http://www.applianceeducator.com/parts.htm

Hi Kayakcrzy,
Problem with Maytag dryer #MDG8600AWW no heat. I order all these parts from APP and already replaced it. Thermal fuse , Cycling thermostat , ignitor , Both gas coil valve and the gas valve …!!! Still no heat?
I have checked all heating elements passed contuinity, blower wheel in good shape and clean vent to outside wall . Turn on dryer the ignitor glow for 20 seconds and goes out , I could smell the gas but no flame. Yesterday I received Gas Valve and installed right away , tested 3-4 times works fine(Yellow Flame not blue Flame), but after I put everything together ready for the first load and it went back same problem. My wife told me the problem start out not hot enough,after I try to fix it (save money)now no heat at all. So far I already spend $400 and Hours of free labor and got chew off with the B!!! . She told me today is my last day to fix dryer or I get fired.Tomorrow she’ll go shopping fornew dryer from BESTBUY.So please help me . THanks

Hi Kayakcrzy,
I got the flame sensor today, installed right away.Put everything back together turn on gas dryer . The ignitor glow for 40 seconds and then ignited the gas the blue flame stay on for 35 seconds then goes out. I already changed all heating elements even Gas Valve and today flame sensor. Do you think perhaps venting problem from laundry room outlet to outside wall 14 feet. Please help. (Maytag MDG8600AWW) Thanks

Hi Kayakcrzy,
I recheck all my heating elements and discovered there is a hair line crack at the tip of Ignitor ( Brand New Ignitor ) and check its with multimeter read .76 OHM. Do you think the crack cause problem.Thanks

Hi kayakcrzy,
What do you mean open circuit ? Bad ignitor, replace a new one.
Maytag dryer MDG8600AWW wouldn’t start. The cabinet is on.
