Michael for Model Number wed5300sq0 When i turn the timer to any setting the heating element comes on without pushing the start button and neither the fan blower nor the drum motor works at all no matter what I do. I'm thinking it could be the timer because on one setting, the timer doesn't run and the dryer ran all night long once. What do you think?
Answer Michael, It's more likely a faulty dryer drive motor 279827. The centrifugal switch has failed. When you set the timer you complete the circuit to the heater element, through the centrifugal switch and the heater operates. The motor wont start or run, because the motor windings or the motor start / run circuit in the switch is damaged as well. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, August 2, 2013
