When the MDE208DAYW misbehaves, the pattern is nearly always the same: check the vent run and whether the timer advances on automatic first, then the heating element or igniter, thermostat or thermal fuse. The plate also dates the machine, which matters when deciding whether a repair is worth doing.
Before booking, it is worth confirming clearing the lint screen and keeping the duct short and straight. Everything deeper is a service call, and treating it that way protects both the appliance and the warranty.
