The dryer shuts off before the laundry is complete dry.
Robert for Model Number mde8057ayw
Answer Hello Robert. It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly. Hope this helps.

Natalie for Model Number MDG6200AWW

My dryer is an electric one. My dryer is not heating at all now. It has been like this for some time. My house has a electric problem in that my dryer does not get all of the 220 volts it needs to run smoothly. That is another problem I will deal with. Can you tell me what is wrong with my dryer not heating?
Porter for Model Number se1000
Answer Hi Porter. Yes the dryer has to have 240 vac supplied to the dryer. 120 vac from one leg (L-1) to neutral and 120 vac from the opposite leg (L-2) to neutral. The timer and motor uses one side (L-1) and the heater circuit uses the other side (L-2). By using the picture diagram on the back of the unit by the terminal cover, it will show the L-1 (blk) and neutral (white) and L-3 (red). The Thermal fuse part # is 306604, will open due to vent blockage excessive inner blower hsg. heat. The thermistor is the cycling thermostat and tells the unit command to allow the heater on/off time. (normal cycling demands) It will get weak and cause non-heating issues also. Part # is 306056. Safety thermostat is part # 306060, all 3-parts are on the blower housing. While you are there, make sure the blower wheel does not spin loose on the motor shaft. Blower part # is Y303836. Check the terminal block to see if the supply cord is tight. Remove power first. Now, the heater assy. can be "re-strung" part # is 314503. Or totally replaced part # is Y306111. The heater coil should ohm closed and not shorted At 8- 11 ohms. The high limit thermostat is located on the heater can and is part # 303396 . Thank you.
Hi - dryer has blown a thermal fuse. After replacing it, I noticed the temperature controls don't work and it runs very hot, even on delicate (low) setting. Now, it has blown the fuse again. Could the High limit thermostat be at fault? and how do I test it? Any other possible causes?
Thanks much - Buz
Buz for Model Number MDE7600AYW
Answer Buz, First thing to check is the exhaust vent system, make sure it's not restricted, kinked,or clogged, all the way out to the vent hood. You could have a weak hi limit thermostat, if the dryer has been running hot for a while, but it should have been replaced when you replaced the thermal fuse( general rule of thumb). The hi limit switch will circuit test OK, because the dryer heats, Good Luck.
I'm leaning toward installing: Moisture sensor bar - This dryer sensor bar reads the moisture on your clothes while drying.
Part Number: AP2947039 The dryer does not auto dry. but works ok on timed dry.
Dale H for Model Number lde713
Answer Hello Dale. Yes, you will want to change out the sensor bar 304997 first. If this does not repair the issue, then you would try the control board. Unfortunately this part is no longer available and we no longer have any left in stock. Sorry.
