Model MEDC500VWO
by: Anonymous

I bought this dryer new from Home Depot 2 years and 3 months ago. You have to repeat drying, but yesterday the switch on the door went bad now the dryer does not work. I am waiting for a repairman to come and replace the switch. I should not have to be investing another $100 to replace a switch after only a little over 2 years. Was this switch made in China? I have noticed that in other appliance small parts are wearing out very quickly and they all seem to be made in China. What's happening?

blows fuses
by: Anonymous

This dryer has been working OK for about 9 months. Today it blew the fuse and evidently has a short in it. Very disappointed in it after such a short life. The one thing I don't like is the vent only comes out the back - not the side.

Will NOT dry clothes throughout
by: Anonymous

We bought this dryer brand new. We've tried different settings because we were noticing our laundry wasn't completely drying. We've talked to the company we bought it from and they wouldn't take it back or help us in any way. They came and looked at it but the drum would be not when turning it off. Now when I dry my clothes I have to turn it back after it's been running for 20 minutes so it will run longer to properly dry my clothes. There's been times when we went to bed that the clothes would be damp the next morning causing a soured smell. I really HATE this dryer and am disappointed in Maytag. I've owned other Maytag dryers before and never had this problem.
