Amanda for Model Number wed6200sw1 My dryer starts. It doesn't heat the clothes or make any noise and its stuck on sensing but the numbers count down. what could be wrong ?
Answer Hi Amanda. Moisture sensor test: Open the door and locate two metal strips on the inside of the dryer (on the lint filter intake). Bridge these strips with a wet cloth or a finger. If a continuous beep is heard and an alphanumeric number is displayed on the console then the sensor is OK. If not,or if a continuous beep tone is heard before bridging the moisture strips, go top step #5. It will be advantageous to find the supplied tech sheet inside the cabinet to aid you in the diagnosis. It allows you to put the unit in a diagnostic mode which brings up fault codes and tells you which circuit needs assistance.Make sure the vent is entirely clear and not restricted. Make sure the outside vent cap / hood is opening and closing properly 4-5x /yr. so lint and moisture does not back up and create a restriction causing these issues. The sensor wiring harness is part # WP3406653. Thank You. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, June 25, 2012
