Jim for Model Number WED9400VE0 Recently my dryer would power up, but not start. I replaced the Thermal Fuse, and that restored function. However, the dryer now gets too hot. Temperature will not modulate on any cycle mode selected, ever air only. I suspect this is what caused the Thermal Fuse to activate. Would this be caused by loose connections at the Control Board, or a failed Control Board? Could it also be a shorted Heating Element? Please advise regarding the most likely cause for excessive/uncontrolled heat, and verify the correct part number(s) to order. Thanks for your help!
Answer Hello Jim, you will need to check if the heating element has grounded in the heater case if it is ok then that would indicate a stuck heater relay on the main control board. The heater is part WP8544771, the control board is part WPW10174745. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, December 9, 2019
