MGD3100DW
Maytag MGD3100DW Gas Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Drum spins but no burner flame
- Roller or belt thump
- No reaction at the start button
- Damp clothes after a full run
The MGD3100DW is a Maytag gas dryer. It needs a gas line with a shutoff valve and a standard 120-volt outlet, and in Houston homes it is commonly in a garage or an exterior-wall laundry room with a vent run straight out.
When the drum turns but the dryer makes no heat, we look at the igniter and the gas valve coils first, because an igniter can glow without drawing enough current to open the valve. We also confirm the gas shutoff is open and check the vent for restriction. Thumping is usually a worn roller or belt.
If you ever smell gas, close the shutoff and call your gas company before anything else. Once the model and serial are copied from the label, we order parts, and the written price comes before the work and the 30-day workmanship warranty after it.
Key features

Why does the MGD3100DW tumble but not heat?
On gas dryers the igniter or the valve coils are the usual suspects. We test the igniter current, the coils and the thermal parts, and confirm the gas supply. You see the price before we replace anything.
Does it need a 240-volt outlet?
No. Gas dryers of this type use a regular 120-volt outlet for the motor and controls and gas for the heat. We check both the outlet and the gas shutoff when heat is missing.
I smell gas near the dryer. What should I do?
Close the gas shutoff, keep flames and switches away and call your gas utility. Once the line is cleared, we can inspect the connection and the valve.
