    Maytag Dryer - MLE2000AYW - Buzzes and shuts down.
    Recently, the dryer started acting up. It had started shutting off in the middle of cycles, leaving clothes still damp. I had someone come over and take a look. The repair lady gave the dryer a good clean and said it was probably just dirty. Dryer is still acting up.

    After some reading online, I took the front panel off the dryer and tested the Thermal fuse.. still good. Repair lady wants to order new Thermostats.. which for me does not add up. With the heating element shut off (air fluff mode), the dryer still shuts down during a cycle. Once it shuts down, it will not start back up again until the motor has cooled.. (after about an hour or so) OR.. if I give the drum a spin and hit the start button.

    I am convinced that there is an issue with the motor.. BUT.. before I jump into it, I wanted to get some feedback from someone else. If it is the motor.. is it best to try to repair it or just buy a new one? Also, if it is the motor, what is the very annoying and buzz which is heard when the START button is first depressed? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Regards,

    Tim

My Maytag gas dryer, model DG412 starts normally when cold. After about 20 minutes, the burner shuts down while the drum continues to turn. The burner will not re-light until the dryer has cooled down for a few minutes. The longer it cools before re-lighting, the longer it runs before shutting...
