Rocky October 15, 2019 for Model Number 110.85866401 the start button does not start the dryer, all function buttons light when pushed , there is a click after the start is pushed and held, I think that is normal. any thoughts on the cause and or fix
1 Answer Rocky, Check and make sure the belt isn't broken or off the motor pulley, and belt switch is being properly activated by the idler arm, and the switch and wires aren't damaged, broken, etc. Then check the thermal fuse on the blower housing for a "closed" circuit. If there is an issue with either the thermal fuse or belt switch, the control will program and the lights will illuminate, but the dryer won't start or run. Read More...

Mike October 17, 2017 for Model Number 11085872400 Randomly my dryer has power to light up the interior but the control panel will not light up or start the dryer. I have opened it up and cleaned all the electrical connectors then it starts working again for a while. A couple of times I could get it to go into diagnostic mode before opening it up, and that started it back up. If not, taking it apart and cleaning connections seems to get it back up for a while. When I was not home it quit again and my wife tried to get it into diagnostic mode with no luck. She read on line that opening and closing the door 6 times in 12 seconds will reset it. Sounded crazy to me but it worked for her. Again today it would not come on with either method until I took it apart and cleaned the connections then applied dielectric grease. Started working again. Is the panel bad?
1 Answer Mike, First check and make sure the connections at the terminal block, on the back of the dryer are good and tight. Check/replace the door switch, and check the wiring. If the problem persists, then replace the control board WP8546219 . Read More...
Jerry December 29, 2015 for Model Number 110.85866400 Our HE4 dryer does not respond to any front panel buttons. The light inside does come on when the door is opened. Is this a front panel problem or a control board problem? I have checked a couple of voltages on the control board and there is 120VAC on it but there is no 5VDC going out to the front panel. I have disconnected and re-connected all the connectors at the control board. Are there other diagnostics I should do?
1 Answer Hello Jerry, You should pull the units kickpanel and pull the tech sheet. This will give specific instruction on the units' diagnostic test mode. The fault codes indicated will point you in the direction of the issue. If the unit will not go into the diagnostic test mode, the control will require replacement. Read More...
Dave December 03, 2015 for Model Number 110.95862401 I have to keep pressing normal button over and over before it lights up. The same for all the other cycles and start as well. Could this be what's wrong? I also have jumped the switch for normal and the rest and then they light. Thanks Dave
1 Answer Hello Dave. You will need to order and replace the control board 280086 on the unit. Read More...
Barb June 29, 2015 for Model Number 110.85087401 Will this part work on my model number 11085087401 ? My dryer is electric and this is for a gas dryer. Are they interchangeable? I don't not care about the color match. I just want it to work.
Matt August 20, 2014 for Model Number Kenmore Dryer 110.95862400 My front panel will randomly start beeping and cycling through the "end of cycle" beep LEDs. Sometimes it'll end up with some random number in the timer LED. I ordered the control board yesterday and received it today. The board I ordered is AP3775548. I swapped out the board and the dryer is doing the same thing with the new control board installed. Is it possible that the front panel needs to be replaced? If so, can I return the control board and apply the refund towards the front panel if needed?
1 Answer Matt, The issue with the control board beeping and erratic display would most likely be caused by a faulty console which would need to be replaced. Here is a link to our return policy http://www.appliancepartspros.com/customerservice/returns.aspx Read More...
Mike November 09, 2013 for Model Number 110.85862401 My Kenmore Elite HE4 dryer control panel flashes and beeps randomly. Sometimes this happens during the cycle. Sometimes in the middle of the night when the dryer has not even been running. Sometimes it works fine. Does this sound like a problem that could be solved by replacing the front control panel.
1 Answer Hello Mike. It sounds like the control board is bad on the unit and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Skip Race June 30, 2013 for Model Number 110.85861400 Have Kenmore elite HE4 electric dryer. Heating element does not go on. Ran diagnostic test and heating element comes on no error messages. Trying to determine if control board is bad. Any ideas. Thanks
1 Answer Skip Race, The control board 280086 would be the cause of the unit not operating during the normal cycle but operating during the test mode. Read More...
Brian January 31, 2013 for Model Number 11085862400 Hello, I have power to the front panel, but the start button seems to "click" but it does not start. I have replaced both door clips and latches. any ideas on why it is not starting? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Brian. You will need to check and see if the thermal fuse WP3392519 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
