Tom L May 23, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore Elite dryer - 11084836201 No matter the setting, my Kenmore Elite dryer only runs on the highest hot temp setting. Even on air dry setting, the heat is on high. Timer works fine, etc. Is this a thermistor problem or a control board problem? THANK YOU.
1 Answer Hello Tom. Check and make sure the heater is not grounded. If not, then you will need to order and replace the control board on the unit. Read More...
Michael May 07, 2013 for Model Number 110.84836201 My dryer will not start intermittently. When you select a cycle and hold the start button it clicks and the drum moves about an inch. However, sometimes it will start and run normally for 10min or so and then stop. And other times the motor will continue to run even when the stop/cancel button is pushed (if you open the door it will stop but when the door is closed again it will start back up even with the dryer off and no lights on the control panel. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Michael. If there is power to the motor, and it does not run, then the motor is bad. If the power is start and stopping on it's own, then the control board is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Jodi April 26, 2013 for Model Number GEW9260PW0 When I hit "start", I hear the normal "click" and the timer starts counting down, but the motor never starts. I ran the diagnostics test and got no errors. I checked the thermal fuse, and it has continuity. The thermal cut-off also shows continuity. I accessed the machine control electronics and removed the main harness plug but left the others still connected. When I checked the resistance across P1-3 and P1-4, I got "OP" for open. My tech sheet says to replace the machine control electronics if the resistance reads 1-6 ohms. Does that mean that if my meter reads OP this board is good? I haven't checked the belt switch or the motor yet since they are harder to get to.
1 Answer Jodi, If you are getting an open reading then the machine electronic control is good. You will want to check the belt switch and check continuity of the door switch with door closed to make sure that it is good. Read More...
Rob April 15, 2013 for Model Number GEW9250PW1 I have a whirlpool Duet dryer that is about 6 yrs old. I had the thermal fuse blow and I replaced it. I now see that the temp control is stuck open (keeps requesting heat) even if on "AIR ONLY CYCLE." I check the circuit and noticed that one of the wire leads attached to the control panel must have become real hot. The plastic connector melted a bit. Based upon my diagnostics (as limited as they are) it sounds like a control board. How can I be sure?
1 Answer Rob, If the unit is calling for heat even on the air only cycle then it sounds like the heater relay on the control board is stuck. If you look at the heater relay there is a black and red wire coming off of it. If this is where the melting took place then the relay is bad and control board needs to be replaced. Read More...
Mike March 12, 2013 for Model Number gew9200lw1 Hello, my dryers control panel will lite up as normal, but when I push the start button it makes its normal clicking sound but will not start. Do I need the complete panel or should I look at other things.
1 Answer Mike, You will want to check to make sure that the door switch is showing continuity when door is closed. You will want to check the exhaust thermal fuse for being blown. It should have continuity and if not it will need to be replaced. If thermal is blown you will also want to check your venting to make sure that the vent is clear from the blower wheel all the way to the outside of home. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Brian March 05, 2013 for Model Number GGW9200LW1 Hi , My whirlpool gas dryer was stop couple day ago. I can turn on but when I hit start and then I heard the machine was "click" then nothing move the cycle. I though that eclectronic control board was bad. Is that right? Because when I open that I saw liitle burn on leg of the relay thing. Please give me some idea.
1 Answer Hello Brian. If the control board has a burnt spot on it, you will need to order and replace the control board on the unit. Read More...
Mark February 21, 2013 for Model Number 110-82822102 My dryer is heating up only for a short time period. After checking airflow, as well as the coil, thermostat and hi-temp sensor with an ohm meter, they all are working fine. I've switched to normal cycles and it seems to work. Am I going to have to replace the control board or is there something else I can check? Thanks, Mark
1 Answer Hello Mark. If the unit works on one cycle, but not on the other, then you will need to replace the control in the unit. It should be the user interface board, but you will need to test and make sure the main pcb WP8546219 is not shorting out on the relay. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Larry February 12, 2013 for Model Number 110.94821300 My dryer does not get hot enough to dry the clothes completely. The burner comes on but has a very short burn cycle maybe 2-3 seconds then goes off .I did moisture sensor test it appears ok.
1 Answer Hello Larry, You will want to check the coils on the gas valve. Based on information this appears to be what would be wrong with unit. Read More...
Mike February 05, 2013 for Model Number GGW9250PWD My Whirlpool GGW9250PWD is stuck in sensing mode. I ran all the diags and also tested the thermal cut-off, High Limit Therm, Thermal Fuse, and Thermistor. I then pulled the control board and noticed that the block marked, "Motor" had one point that was burnt. I think I need a new control board, but I also wanted to ask if something else would cause this to happen? Do I need to test the motor or is this a common issue that is just resolved with a new board?
1 Answer Hello Mike, You will want to check the resistance of the motor windings to make sure that the motor has not shorted or opened. There may have been a loose connection that would have caused but checking the motor would eliminate motor as a problem. Read More...
