MEDB880BW
Maytag MEDB880BW Electric Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Heat that comes and goes during a cycle
- Hot cabinet or a scorched-lint smell
- Drum noise that changes with the load size
- Controls that are slow to respond
The MEDB880BW is an electric Maytag dryer in the Bravos line. Only this one number is listed, with no other color endings. It is typically installed in a utility room or garage on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, with a flexible or rigid duct to the outside.
Heat that cuts in and out on a dryer like this makes us look at the heating element, the cycling thermostat and the vent first. Poor airflow makes the protective parts open early, so a clean duct is part of every heat repair we do.
We take the model and serial from the label, show you the part that failed and give the price in writing first. Our repairs carry a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Why does the MEDB880BW lose heat midway through a cycle?
The cycling thermostat or high-limit device may be opening because air cannot leave the drum. We check the element, the thermostats and the duct, since a blocked vent will repeat the problem after a new part.
Is a burning smell dangerous?
Treat it seriously. Lint that reaches the heater housing can scorch. Unplug the dryer, and we will clear the housing and the duct, test the heating parts and tell you whether it is safe to run again.
Do you repair this model if the controls respond slowly?
Yes. We test the start switch and the control wiring first, then the control board. You get a written price before any board is ordered, and we say plainly if a repair is not worth it.
