The Maytag MDE2400AYW is a dryer that takes 3 hours to dry, so it is possible that the dryer is not working properly. If you have checked the vent and found no obstructions, then the problem may be with the heating coil. The heating coil could be dirty or broken, which would cause the dryer to take longer than usual to dry clothes.
