MEDB980B
Maytag MEDB980B Bravos Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Drum that drags or stops under a full load
- Rubbing sound near the front of the drum
- Dryer that shuts off with the door closed
- Lint buildup near the door seal
This MEDB980B is a Maytag Bravos electric dryer, also found with the endings G and W as MEDB980BG and MEDB980BW. It commonly stands in a garage or utility room, and the owner often notices the first problem as a drum that drags when the load is large.
A dragging drum makes us check the belt tension, the idler pulley and the drum support rollers. A rubbing sound near the front points to the drum seal or glides at the door opening, where lint packs in over time.
We confirm the model and serial from the label before ordering anything. The price is written down before the work, and the repair comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Why does my MEDB980B slow down with a big load?
A worn belt or tired idler pulley cannot hold the drum under weight. We check belt condition and tension, spin the rollers and quote the parts that are worn, before we do any work.
What is the rubbing noise near the door?
Most often the front drum seal or glides are worn or packed with lint. We pull the front panel, inspect them and clean or replace as needed. It is a common repair on dryers of this type.
Is a sudden shut-off a control problem?
Not usually. The door switch, a thermal device or an overheated housing from a blocked vent is more likely. We test those first and replace the control only if everything else checks out.
