Yes. There is a thermostat that prevents the dryer from getting too hot, baking your clothes. Not sure if it cuts it off entirely - may just regulate the current. Your checking it outside it's...

Not quite sure. First impression is that it is in the electronic control panel - probably pretty pricey.
It might be worth checking your plug and make sure you are getting 115 on each side (but this...

Probably right.

I saw that in the junkyard the other day. I have a 760 turbo so my setup is different.
It definitely won't run with that hose missing. There is an idle control valve below the intake manifold -...

You did not say which Volvo. Is it a 240, 740... etc. Probably is one of those - so there is a 700/900 series faq @ The Volvo Resource: brickboard.com. Just use the dropbox where it says 'select...

Not sure - but go to The Volvo Resource: brickboard.com. Set up a user name and ask in the FWD section. Someone there will know for sure.

You are blessed that it did go down the drain mostly. I had this happen with a Speed Queen when I lived in an upstairs apt. after I went to bed - cost me a lot of money for the water damage below me....

When you pull the front to replace the belt - take a look at the slides on the front. Also check the wheels at the back where the drum rides, and any wheels that the belt may make contact with, like...

We had been told that the problems you mentioned had been corrected. I guess I am looking for a time line so as not to buy a pig in a poke.
I am pretty handy, but do have other options (an...

The dryer getting too hot is something that we have recently experienced on an old Hotpoint dryer. It has a bad auto thermostat in the return, so if it gets too hot on the auto dry cycle - it stops...

Make sure first you do not have a badly out of balance load. The knocking usually is the tub hitting the sides.
You might try to spin it with just a load of water. If it is OK with just water, and...

You mean the agitator does not rotate, right? If it was working prior to replacing belts, then you need to double check the belt - probably the longer one. The smaller if I recall - goes to the pump,...

Are yours the Maytag brand? Have you had a prob with mildew. I do understand that if the boot around the door is kept clean there will be no problem with that. Has that been your experience?
Thanks...

This happened to me years back. I left the washer on as I went to bed. Bad move! I woke in the middle of the night to find a flood.
The water level control was misbehaving. I replaced the control...

Are you saying that because of the way they clean, or because of the problems I listed - possibly others. Also does this apply only to the Maytag, or all front loaders - in your opinion?
Thanks for...

Check your drain and make sure that it is completely clear.

Does it agitate? If it does not agitate or spin, you probably have a belt problem. The belt should be under the base of the washer.

I have a chance to get a pair of Maytag front load laundry (new) for a really great price (less than 1K for both), but I am a bit cautious as I know there were issues with mildew in the boot, and...
