A client in the Brookfield neighborhood of Palm Harbor called on a Sunday — her Maytag dryer (model MEDC400VW0) had stopped working entirely. With a house full of kids going through laundry fast, she needed it fixed the same day, and that’s what we did.

With the new element installed, we also vacuumed out some built-up lint while everything was open.

The dryer was back up and running the same day — one less thing for a busy household to worry about. If your Maytag dryer isn’t heating, a failed heating element is one of the first things worth checking. See our dryer repair page for what else we typically look at.
