Answer Hello Steve! The “PF” flashes to indicate that a power failure occurred while the dryer was running. Press Start to continue the cycle, or press Pause/Cancel to clear the display. You will need to check voltage under a load and for loose connections at the terminal block on the back. Otherwisebad it can be a bad control board W10111606. Hope this helps!

Answer Hello Mark. No, either the belt is bad or the motor is bad on the unit. Try turning the tub by hand and make sure it is not in a bind.

Answer John, This with the dispenser going out first and then the rest of the unit failing, the most likely cause of failure would be the control board WR55X10942.

Answer John, Based on the information it sounds like the heater circuit from the timer may be sticking. You can test the unit with the timer in the off position and see if you are getting 120 vac on the red wire of the timer. If so then the timer is sticking and will need to be replaced.

Answer Todd, If the unit is not running at all then you will want to check the thermal fuse that is located on the blower housing. If this thermal blows it will cut power to entire unit. You will want to do a continuity test to see if it is good. If it does not have continuity then it is bad. If this is the case you will also want to make sure that your venting from the blower wheel to the outside of the home is clear. A restricted dryer vent can cause the thermal fuse to blow.
