MEDX6STBW
Maytag MEDX6STBW Bravos X Electric Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Display or lights that flicker during a cycle
- Drum that stops when the load shifts
- Dryer that heats and then shuts down
- Strong hot smell after a short cycle
The MEDX6STBW is an electric dryer in the Maytag Bravos X line and has just this one number listed. It typically sits next to a washer on a 240-volt outlet, and the vent in many Houston homes runs up and out through a wall or attic.
If a dryer like this heats and then shuts down, the high-limit thermostat or thermal fuse may be reacting to a hot housing, so airflow is the first thing we check. A drum that stops when the load shifts points to the belt and the idler, or to a door switch that opens as the cabinet moves. Flickering lights lead us to the wiring and terminal block.
We copy the full model and serial from the label first. The price is in writing before any work, and we cover the repair for 30 days.

Why does my MEDX6STBW heat and then shut down?
Protective thermal parts open when the heater housing runs hot, usually because air cannot leave. We test them, check the heating element and clean the vent before closing the repair.
What if the drum stops when the load moves?
The belt may be slipping or the door switch may be opening as the cabinet shifts. We test both and look at the idler pulley before quoting anything.
The lights flicker. Should I keep using it?
Stop using it until it is checked. Loose power wires at the terminal block can overheat. We inspect the cord, the terminal block and the connections and give you a written price.
