Joy for Model Number gew9200lw0 (Whirlpool Duet Dryer) I replaced the heating element after testing. Dryer is heating but turns off/ends cycle resulting in wet clothing. Later on the dryer was stuck on sensing and wasn't working and I found out the thermal fuse blew so I replaced that. I cleaned out the lint screen, venting hose, inside the dryer as best I could. Now, I'm wondering if I should test/replace the Thermistor or the High Limit thermostat? I'm nervous that the motor is dying. I don't want to use several cycles to dry with few articles of clothing and make matters worse.
Answer HI Joy. Thank you for all the information. The blower housing has a thermistor that senses the temperature to the control board. This is the part #WP8577274. Double check the outside vent cap/ hood assembly while you are at it to make sure the vent cap operates normally. Turn off the breaker,unplug the unit. make sure your dryer cord screws are tight on the terminal block. Thank you. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, July 28, 2011
