Vic for Model Number LE6880XSW0 Whirlpool worked great, always kept screen cleaned every use. Started getting hotter than normal. Finally shut off and would not start, timer still worked properly timing down on all cycles, checked everything. Parts wp3392519 and wp61894 did not ohm so took parts to repair store; parts told me part wp61894 was not supposed to ohm and activates when dryer gets hot that dryer was clogged up, hose was off set a little. R/R wp3392519, cont. hot on all cycles, element ohmed out good but glows even, on air fluff setting like all other settings. Throwed hose out the window and cleaned dryer thoroughly, rechecked all settings. Tried to order wp61894 here, it does not ohm and it's no longer available? Can I use a jumper on this wp61894 to get it to work to see if that is causing a problem and how do I order another part if needed? What can I do? Thanks.
Answer Vic, with the power cord unplugged, the heating element WP4391960 would need to be tested for continuity to the metal frame. If there is continuity, the element would need to be replaced. Based on the information provided, it sounds like the element is grounded out. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Saturday, August 24, 2024
