Jim for Model Number IED4400VQ1 My dryer doesn't heat and only starts on timed dry. The other cycles nothing happens. It also made a bad off balance noise till I adjusted the felt that the drum roles on. I checked the heating element, and thermostats for continuity which turned out fine. I took off one side of the hi-limit thermostat to check if I had 120v coming from the timer and the motor. The motor had 120v but the timer had like 5v while running. Is the timer bad? And do I need new felt.
Answer Jim, You may have a damaged timer contact. Check the timer for 120 VAC into the timer on terminal "C" (black wire) to chassis ground. Disconnect the wire on terminal "A" (red wire) check for 120 VAC from the terminal to chassis ground, with the dryer timer set in a heat cycle. 120 VAC on the "A" terminal, timer would be OK, and you probably have a damaged wire to the heater. No or low voltage on terminal "A" would indicate a bad timer contact. As for the felt seal and glides, if there was little to no damage to the felt seal, and glides, and you have everything back in it's proper position and smoothed out, you probably won't need the seal bearing assembly W11035878.
