Dryer problem
I have a Maytag gas dryer.The timer will not move if I have it set to auto
dry.If I set it to timed dry it works fine.I assume there must be a moisture sensor somewhere that has failed.What does this sensor look like and where is it located. Thanks |

... You probably have a clogged vent..... which would be a definite fire hazard. It's the cause of most dryer fires. |

Thanks Hi, Model#? Maytag has built several dozen different dryers! Some info on a common "auto" cycle.... http://www.applianceaid.com/general.html#timers Restricted air flow, grounded element, bad thermostat are a few comon things that can prevent the auto cycle from working. jeff.
