My dryer stopped heating. It would run, but not heat. Checked the fuses, and found 1 blown. Replaced it, ran for a while then blew again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your most likely cause of this is a shorted out heating element, that's certainly the first thing I would take a look at.

Your part number and breakdown is here...

Maytag MDE4658AYW Parts List

The heating element is #5 in the "Base, Heater and Motor" diagram. You'll probably even be able to see where the heater coils are broken by just looking at it.

You could also have a clogged vent to the outside. This causes the element to not pass the air accross the element, causing it to over heat and blow that fuse again. Check your vent first. That vent should get good air flow to the outside. If you need to inspect the element, all you have to do is take the two 5/16 screws out on each side of the element. and pull it down and out. The wires are actually long enough for you to pull the whole element housing to the front. If the element is bad make sure you get the element kit, that comes with the thermal fuse, and high limit thermostat. If you need me you can reach me at my web site at ApplianceEducator.com Tom

I was assuming that by "fuses" and you replaced one you were referring to the power fuses in a fuse panel of your house, not anything inside the dryer. If this is correct then you need to find the short, probably the element. Lint is not going to cause your house fuses to blow or breakers to trip.

If you were referring to the thermal fuse inside the dryer (of which there is only 1), then that is the direction Tom in the post above is leading you in. A shorted element could however cause the element to always be heating, not too common, but I have seen it happen in 240 volt circuits. Thermal fuse usually blows due to blockage like Tom was referring you to. Its still always a good idea to clean all the lint out when you have the dryer open, this includes the exhaust vent going to the outside no matter what the original problem was.
