Maytag 3000 Series Electric Dryer Getting Extremely Hot!
My MEDE300VW0 Dryer is getting way too hot on every cycle. We cleaned out the vents. Even on air dry cycle the clothes are too hot to even remove them from the dryer. :( Any suggestions what could be causing this? I'm worried about fire danger with this thing.
