Stumped for Model Number MDG3000AWW Hello The dryer starts, ignitor heats, flame begins for about 15 - 30 seconds and then the dryer shuts off and will not start without recycling the timer. I have done the following: 1- cleaned dryer and vent to outside 2- checked and confirmed closed circut on flame sensor, hi-limit sensor in the fire cone and the small white tubular sensor on the blower housing wall. There is a 4 wire sensor that Im not sure how to test. Any ideas as to what can be causing the dryer to shut down? Thanks
Answer Stumped, The four wire sensor on the blower housing is the "cycling" thermostat WP3387134 to test this component, you should read a "closed" circuit across the two 1/4 inch terminals, and approximately 2400 ohms across the two smaller1/8 in. terminals, and the thermostat has to be "cold"(room temperature). But, none of the things you've tested and checked has anything to do with the dryer running (except the thermal fuse) WP33001762 This is usually a "one shot" fuse, when it opens, the dryer wont run until it is repalced. The best guess at this point would be an issue in the dryness control board WP33002389 or a loose connection on the gray wire between the timer, thermal fuse and motor. Read More...
