Maytag MGDB855D Bravos Clothes Dryer Repair
Most common issues on this model

- Heat turning off while the drum keeps turning
- Thumping from the drum with every turn
- Door that pops open or does not latch
The MGDB855D belongs to the Maytag Bravos line and is also sold as MGDB855DC and MGDB855DW. MGD at the start of a Maytag number normally marks a gas dryer, so we confirm the fuel type on the data plate before we begin.
The first thing we measure on a slow dryer is airflow, because a restricted vent leaves clothes damp and heats the cabinet. After that we look at the burner parts: igniter, flame sensor and valve coils. A thump that repeats with each drum turn points us toward worn rollers, a damaged belt or a flat spot on the idler.
Houston laundry rooms and garages put dryers through heavy use, and models of this type are common in homes that have owned them for a long time. For MGDB855D, the data plate on the dryer supplies the serial and full number we order from. The quote is in writing, and we stand behind the labor for 30 days.

Why is my dryer taking two cycles to dry clothes?
Restricted airflow is the usual first check, followed by the burner parts and the thermal cutouts. We test the vent run and the heating sequence, then quote what is needed.
The drum thumps as it turns. Is that serious?
A repeating thump normally means worn rollers or a belt that has a flat spot. Running it longer can damage the drum support, so we inspect it and give you a price before replacing parts.
Will you tell me if fixing it would not pay?
Yes. If the bill would come close to what the dryer is worth, we tell you before work starts, and you decide with the written price in hand.
