Brian for Model Number GEW9250PLO Hello, I've been limping our dryer (Whirlpool Duet) along for about three weeks now since we found a puddle of water in the drum from condensation. I dried everything off and cleaned the lint out of the fan and surrounding areas. We've been having to turn the CB off for about a day then turn it back on to get the dryer to work. We would sometimes get two or three dryer cycles out of it before it would stop working again. Well that trick has stopped working now and all I get is the interior light to come on but the dryer will not turn on at all.. Any suggestions?
Answer Brian, You want to start by checking the thermal fuse circuit located on the blower housing WP3392519. If the fuse opens, due to excessive heat, it eliminates power to the motor and the dryer won't start or run. But based on your post, you'll need to duisconnect the exhaust vent from the back of the dryer, and check and clean any debris in the exhaust vent pipe, and check the vent hood for damage or clogs. You may want to check the installation guide and make sure the total working length of the venting is not too long, as well. Condensation in a dryer drum is usually due to the venting system.
