Where can I find the fuse on a Maytag Performa Dryer?

Favorite Answer

The model number will either be on top of the console or around the opening of the dryer.
Here's a video on where and how to check.

Is it running with no heat? Are you sure you have 240v going into the dryer? Here's a way to check. This will isolate it as being inside or outside the dryer

Test this. It's far more likely than your harness, motor or timer.

These may be helpful. But yeah, it could be the motor

Put a temporary jumper on it and see. New switch is pretty cheap.....especially compared to the motor. Good grief! I sure hope that's it! :) :)

A wire to bypass the door switch. You complete the circuit to find out if the switch is the culprit. Put it in place with the dryer unplugged. Use tape to keep your connections secure and to prevent arcing. Once connected, plug it back in just long enough to see if it starts. Do not run the dryer this way!!!...Show more

Idont be aware of wether it's a fuel or electric dryer. Some dryers have a Thermal swap that is automatic. Heres what it does--If the dryer gets too hot it's going to shut off the dryer. It will have a red guide reset button. If the vent is clogged it's going to go back and forth off this swap. You gotta be extra explanative together with your obstacle or no one can particularly wager the answer for you....Show more
