MEDB850Y
Maytag MEDB850Y Electric Clothes Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Loud thump or squeal while the drum turns
- Drum that sticks or stops under a heavy load
- Dryer that shuts off before the cycle ends
- Door that does not hold the start button active
This Maytag MEDB850Y belongs to the Bravos line and is an electric dryer. The number is also listed with the endings G and W, as MEDB850YG and MEDB850YW. Units like this are typically found beside a washer in a hallway closet or a covered garage space, vented through a wall or roof.
Noise and a stalling drum point us first to the drum rollers, the idler pulley and the drive belt on models of this type. A door switch that no longer closes cleanly can also make the dryer quit mid-cycle, so we test it before blaming the control.
Before ordering parts we confirm the exact model and serial from the label. We quote the price in writing first, and the work comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Error codes this model can show
What makes an MEDB850Y thump when it runs?
A flat spot on a worn drum roller, a stretched belt or a sticky idler pulley are the usual causes on dryers of this type. We spin the drum by hand, listen at each roller and show you which part is worn before we quote.
Why does the dryer quit with the door shut?
A weak door switch can drop power to the motor when the drum shifts. We test the switch with a meter and check the latch strike. If the switch is fine, we move on to the belt switch and the control.
Is MEDB850YG a different dryer?
It is the same base model with a different color or revision ending. Parts are often shared, but we still copy the full number from the label to be sure.
