Each problem has different solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if your Maytag centennial dryer is not heating and you want to solve it, you have to know the problems in detail. So, let&rsquo;s see why your Maytag centennial dryer is not heating up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clogged_vent\"><\/span><strong>Clogged vent:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A clogged exhaust vent is the most common reason why your Maytag centennial dryer is not heating up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhaust vent is one of the essential parts of the dryer. Because while the dryer is working, the hot air created by the dryer passes at the back of the machine by the exhaust vent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, when the exhaust vent is clogged, the hot air flow gets disrupted. Sometimes, the old exhaust vent gets clogged, or dirt makes the vent clogged. So, the regular hot air can&rsquo;t pass properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the regular heating process also gets interrupted or slow. So, the hot wet air returns to the clothes, and the clothes can&rsquo;t dry well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blown_thermal_fuse\"><\/span><strong>Blown thermal fuse:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason for the Maytag centennial dryer&rsquo;s heating problems is the blown thermal fuse. Generally, a thermal fuse is used in the dryer so that it can protect the dryer from overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if the dryer receives much heat, the thermal fuse might also get too hot and shut down. If the thermal fuse gets blown, the normal heating cycle might get interrupted. So, if you see that the dryer is not heating up properly, it might have a blown thermal fuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heating_element_problem\"><\/span><strong>Heating element problem:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, a bad heating element can cause a heating problem in your Maytag dryer. If the heating element is broken or burnt, the dryer will get too hot. The heating element can also get cracked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, a bad heating element will misbalance the regular cycle of the drying process. So, the clothes will not dry well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clogged_lint_screen\"><\/span><strong>Clogged lint screen:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Maytag centennial dryer is not heating up properly, the reason might be a clogged lint screen. The clogged lint screen will let the dryer dry the clothes. So, the clothes will be wet while the dryer is on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&rsquo;t clean the clogged lint screen, the problem will not be solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uneven_loads\"><\/span><strong>Uneven loads:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you put uneven loads on the dryer, the drying process work will not be effective. If you put small and large items together in the dryer, it might face uneven loads. So, the larger items will not be dry properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_check_the_heating_element_on_a_Maytag_Centennial_dryer\"><\/span><strong>How do you check the heating element on a Maytag Centennial dryer?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A bad heating element can cause a drying problem in the Maytag Centennial dryer. Even the dryer might not heat up properly because of a bad heating element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you have to check whether the heating element is in bad condition or not. Let&rsquo;s see how you can check the heating element on a Maytag Centennial dryer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disconnecting_power\"><\/span><strong>Disconnecting power:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you have to disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then you can detach the band clamp that connects the dryer vent at the back of the machine. Then you can pull off the vent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accessing_the_heating_element\"><\/span><strong>Accessing the heating element:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, you have to keep a blanket or thick cloth on the ground. Then you have to keep the dryer on its face. This will help you to access the heating element from the back of the dryer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Removing_the_screws\"><\/span><strong>Removing the screws:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you have to detach the sheet metal screws from the back cover on the dryer. You can remove the screws with a screwdriver. Then you can remove the cover from the back of the dryer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exposing_the_dryer_element\"><\/span><strong>Exposing the dryer element:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to find a large canister that has many wires on it. The heating element will be covered by the canister. So, after removing the screws from the canister on the back of the dryer, you will find the dryer element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Checking_the_heating_element\"><\/span><strong>Checking the heating element:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the metal wire coil to see whether it has any break or not. If the metal wire coil is in good condition, the heating element is also good. But if the wire has been broken, the heating element is bad or defective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_fix_Maytag_dryer_that_is_not_heating\"><\/span><strong>How to fix Maytag dryer that is not heating?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know the reasons behind the heating problem in the Maytag dryer, you might want to know the solutions. So, let&rsquo;s see how you can fix the Maytag dryer, not heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clean_the_clogged_vent\"><\/span><strong>Clean the clogged vent:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You might know that a clogged exhaust vent is responsible for your Maytag dryer is not working. So, if you see that the exhaust vent is clogged, you have to clean or replace it. If you can&rsquo;t do it on your own, you can seek professional help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fix_the_power_and_settings\"><\/span><strong>Fix the power and settings:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is a problem with the power and settings of the dryer, the dryer will not heat up. So, you have to check whether the power and settings are suitable for the dryer or not. If not, fix the power and setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fix_the_thermal_fuse\"><\/span><strong>Fix the thermal fuse:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, the thermal fuse gets blown, and the heating process gets disturbed. So, you have to check the thermal fuse first. If the fuse is broken or blown, you have to replace the thermal fuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fix_the_heating_element\"><\/span><strong>Fix the heating element:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fixing the bad heating element will make the Maytag dryer heat properly. For fixing the heating element, you have to find the element from the back of the dryer. You can fix the heating element or replace it if the condition of the heating element is bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Balance_the_loads\"><\/span><strong>Balance the loads:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, uneven loads cause the dryer&rsquo;s heating problem. So, you have to balance the loads. For example, you can avoid mixing small and large items in the dryer.
