Is your dryer not turning on? Or does it start up for just a second before falling still? If this is the problem with your machine, then the most likely culprit is the high-limit thermostat along with the bottom of the machine. Whether it’s due to old age and wear, or the part can’t maintain an electrical connection, replacing this piece can keep your dryer working for much longer instead of you needing to replace the whole machine. Here’s how to quickly repair your dryer on your own:
Before you get started, you need to order the part. While physical stores and repair shops may have the part in stock because your appliance is a Maytag, buying the part online is both cheaper and easier. Look for a high-limit thermostat with the part #489P3. Once you have your part, complete each step below.
Whenever you’re installing a replacement part in a major appliance, the bulk of the work is in reaching the old part in the right way. So be sure to take pictures each step of the way and, if you get stuck or want to double-check your work before powering on your dryer, check Fred’s Appliance Service for more tips.
