How to Replace a Maytag Electric Dryer Thermal Fuse or location of the fuse
For model number MED7230HW1
Hi Charlie, thank you for contacting us. To replace the thermal fuse, detach the front and top panel and lift the dryer from the front using support and then from the front, you can access it just below the drum. Pull the wires off of the thermal fuse. Remove the mounting screw using a 1/4" nut driver. Pull the fuse off of the blower housing. Follow the same steps backward to install the new fuse. We hope this helps!

My dryer has electricity, but after selecting the dryer cycle / time, it won't start. The dryer doesn't tumble. Instead it just makes a click noise.
For model number MED7230HW1
Hi Dana, thank you for reaching out to PartSelect. We would recommend checking that the dryer door is properly latched. If this is not the issue, you may need to check the thermal fuse, part number PS11766766. We hope that helps!
After completing a cycle the timer goes back to 30
For model number MED7230HW1
Hi Dave,
Thank you for your question. If you are using an automatic cycle, the dryer will sense the amount of moisture and the air temperature in the drum and adjust the drying time. If this is not what is happening, there may be an issue with the electronic control board and it will need to be replaced.
The part number listed under your model number for the electronic control board is PS16745022. If you would like to place an order for it, please call our customer service line and anyone will be happy to assist you. We look forward to hearing from you!

Remove the kick plate from the bottom of the dryer by sliding a putty knife along the top edge to release the plastic clamps, one on each side about 4" in from the edges. The kick plate folds out and down. You will see the heat shield on the right, held in by one hex head screw. Remove screw and heat shield. The element is positioned in a
... Read moren open-front housing and is fastened to the left side of the housing by two hex head screws, located on the "rail" of the element and right near the two wires. Remove the hex-head screws that hold the element in place and disconnected the two wires by pulling them out by hand or with needle nose pliers. The only difficulty here is the cramped working area...I recommend a stubby socket driver for these two screws. Most of this I had to do by feel because I could not see the screw heads. Once the screws are out and the wires have been disconnected, slide the old element straight out toward you. You may need to disconnect a small plastic hose located to the left front of the element, but this hose just pulls right off. Vacume the dust & lint build-up out of the whole area, wipe out the element housing and clean up the whole underside of the dryer prior to installing the new element. Installation is reverse of removal. It also might be a good opportunity to clean out your exhaust duct and the vent to the outside. (Never use the aluminum foil-accordian-type duct.) If the exterior dryer vent has any kind of screen over it, remove it and get rid of it. Screens collect lint, lint builds up and burns out elements.
The issue was the idler pulley. First I began opening up the front panel based on a youtube video but soon realized the model was slightly different and required a lot more items to remove. I saw the pulley in the back with nothing in the way so I put the front panel crap back on and removed the rear panel. There it was, very simple to re
