Thermostat, internal - bias Part Number: AP3045874. This has 4 leads (2 red/red white wire) & (2 violet). I have continuity across the red, but no continuity across the violet. Is the Thermostat bad?

Rusty for Model Number WED5830SW0

Answer Hello Rusty. The two violet terminals will not show continuity, but will show resistance. It sounds like the part is good. Hope this helps.

Our Whirlpool gas dryer shuts down after 20 minutes and won't restart until system cools down. I had the motor replaced two years ago and all other components (drum rollers, pulley, belt) seem ok. Cleaned out lint. Could it be the thermostat, or the thermal fuse? Thank you.

Rb for Model Number Whirlpool LGQ8857HQ1 dryer

Answer Hello RB. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the motor is bad again. You need to check and make sure the drum is not to tight and causing the issue with the unit.

Mike for Model Number wed5300vwo

Answer Hello Mike. You will need to check the thermal fuses and the door switch on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Wgd5840sw0. On 3/14/13, I wrote: “Spoke previously with Crystal and Brent A. Dryer completes about six heating cycles and then cools down, heat will not come back on unless unit is turned OFF and allowed to sit for about a half hour. Then process repeats. Has been going on for weeks. Replaced both coils and igniter at Crystal’s suggestion. No Change. Monitored thermostats after chatting with Brent. Both thermal and hi-limit stay closed at all times. Dryer cycle thermostat opens at about 150F and closes at the proper temp, depending on HEAT dial setting. (Temp monitored with hand held IR meter, thermostats monitored “live” with neon lamps, voltage across dryer cycle auxiliary heater also measured and seems ok, even though I have no “specs”). Also monitored voltage across heater circuit (line to thermal fuse) and it stays at 120 VAC. What now, a new dryer???” Today, 3/20, I made some more measurements. Monitored voltage across motor centrifugal switch and flame sensor in addition to voltage across total heating circuit. After eight normal heat/cool cycles, flame sensor stays closed for about 10 seconds and the opens for about thirty, but flame apparently never comes on. This open/close condition continues and dryer cools down. Voltage across heating circuit stays ON. (thermostats and switch OK). When flame sensor opens I hear a fairly loud “clunk”. What would cause flame sensor to cycle like that and flame not come on? Remember, I replaced both coils.

Ron J. for Model Number wgd5840sw0

Answer Hello Ron. You will need to see if the cycling breaks power from the motor on the unit. If so, the motor will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

The thermostat I was sent to replace the old one does not have three hook ups like the old one and is NOT the same size, the number on the part is L135 15F and I am told it is not the correct part. Its the part that came in it when you installed the thing in my laundery room why is it not the correct part and why can't you find one like it ?

Robin for Model Number Kenmore large Capaciy Laundry Space Station
