Our old Maytag dryer stopped drying clothes. Tumbled ok, had airflow but no heat. Disassembled front and back, and removed the heating assembly, allowing room to repair the burnt, broken wire to the heating element. Just the spade terminal and wire were damaged. Found a $10 replacement kit for the two heat sensors on Amazon, so I purchased and replaced the sensors. I have a selection of spade terminals, but not one for a #12 wire. As a workaround, I cut off the burnt portion of the wire and installed a ring terminal, then used a small bolt to attach the wire to the lug. Now all is working as designed, almost. Maybe another 10 years?  (April 2026)
