Your Maytag electric dryer model MEDC465HW is equipped with a heating element. The element is a coil of heating wire that uses electric current to warm up. The air blowing over the element is then heated by the hot coils before entering the dryer drum. If your dryer is taking longer than usual to dry your clothes or the air entering the dryer drum never gets hot, there is a good chance your appliance’s heating element is faulty.
You can often determine whether a heating element is the cause of your non-heating dryer by simply inspecting the element’s coils. Burns or breaks in the coils indicate a faulty heating element. However, if you inspect the coils and see no sign of damage, you can use a multimeter to perform a continuity test. The test will indicate whether the element’s electrical path travels around the entirety of the coils without any interruptions. A broken electrical path means your heating element is definitely behind your dryer’s malfunction and will need to be replaced.
