LDE8706ACE
Maytag LDE8706ACE Older Electric Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Drum that turns slowly or jerks
- Heat that never builds in the first minutes
- Dryer that hums without starting
- Lint collecting in the cabinet or at the vent
Maytag built the LDE8706ACE as an electric dryer with a timer dial rather than an electronic panel. It is an older model, and we still service it for Houston owners who prefer to keep a dependable laundry pair rather than replace it.
A dryer that hums but does not start makes us check the motor start switch and the belt, since a seized drum or a jammed idler will keep the motor from turning. Slow or jerking rotation usually means a worn belt or rollers. When heat is slow to arrive, we test the element and the cycling thermostat. Because the lint screen is in the door opening or the top panel depending on the build, we confirm which one you have so the right replacement is ordered.
We read the complete model and serial number from the label before we order. The price is in writing before work begins, we say honestly when a repair is not worth it, and our work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.

My LDE8706ACE hums and will not turn. What is it?
Humming with no rotation often means a seized drum, a broken belt or a motor start switch problem. We turn the drum by hand, inspect the belt and test the motor circuit. The written price comes before we replace anything.
Why is heat slow to arrive?
A weak element, a worn cycling thermostat or a restricted vent can all delay heat. We test them in turn with a meter and check airflow at the vent. You only pay for the part that is actually weak.
Is a timer dryer simpler to repair?
Generally yes. The timer, switches and thermostats are straightforward to test, which keeps labor focused on the failed part. We still read the full number from your label first and quote the work in writing.
