Ed February 05, 2019 for Model Number Whirlpool Dryer GEW9200Lq0 Is the Dryer Control Board, Part Number WP8546219, serviceable? I think I shorted the hot wire to the drum light to cabinet ground when I removed the housing to replace the bulb. Hopefully the Dryer Control Board has a fuse on it that tripped, and can be replaced. Other than no light in the drum, the dryer works fine. I've learned the hard way to remember to unplug an appliance before you work on it. Thanks
1 Answer Ed, the control board is a non serviceable item as far as parts designated by the manufacturer. As far as there not being a light in the drum, you can do a voltage check at the light to see if there is a voltage issue or if the light itself has failed. Read More...
Paul January 08, 2019 I have a GE GFDS140ED0WW front load dryer. I took it apart to replace the upper dryer guide. I put it back together and everything works fine except the selector is stuck on timed dry and will not allow me to select any other cycle. All of the other buttons are lit up and are working fine. Also the timed dry selection is lit up. Would this be the control panel gone bad?
1 Answer Paul, the first thing you will want to do is make sure that the selector knob did not come loose from the control section first. If it has not come loose and the selector will rotate but none of the cycles will become selected then you will need to replace your control WE04M10006. Read More...
Mark July 02, 2018 for Model Number GEW9250PW0 I have a Whirlpool dryer that has worked fairly flawlessly for 10+ years. This past weekend I noticed it had "control panel locked". Attempting to hold down the unlock did nothing. I unplugged and waited out over night and replugged and the light was on again but I was able to unlock it. Then when i set my timer and was looking to push start, it came back on and the control panel was again locked. a) is there a resistor or piece on this unit that has normally gone defective that I can just replace? Reading the internet, it seems a common issue. b) barring that, which exact part am I looking at here?
1 Answer Mark, There may be a resistor or something bad but we would not have information on it and there is no schematic of the control panel. The part that would be needed is the user interface WP8558753. Read More...
Shane June 14, 2018 for Model Number GEW9250PW0 The owner put clothes in the dryer and tried to start it. No display, no operation, had no previous issues or damage to the display. Drum light works & proper power present at the dryer receptacle. Check power at control PCB?
1 Answer Hello Shane, You will need to verify voltage to the board and out to the components from the board to include the display. This actually sounds like the main board has failed. Read More...
Doug February 19, 2018 for Model Number Maytag Dryer MDET446AYW Dryer runs for only 10 to 20 seconds in any setting (even air fluff) then shuts off. Usually able to restart immediately, but for only 10 to 20 seconds. All ducts clean and thermal discs seem to have continuity. Seems to heat up fine during those 10 to 20 seconds. Anything else that I can test with a normal multimeter?
1 Answer Hello Doug. If the unit will start immediately, it sounds like you will need to order and replace the control board on the unit. It sounds like the relay for the motor is releasing and not holding. Thank you. Read More...
Bemcw2001@Yahoo.Com December 30, 2017 Moving my Whirlpool Duet Elec dryer. Pushed in the little plastic lens in front of the LED display in front. Now dryer has power ( light in drum comes on) but no display, no response from any control buttons. Tried unplug for one min and 6 door opens to hard reset, no luck Conttol board fail?
1 Answer BEMCW, It sounds likely that the user interface may be faulty and need to be replaced. Read More...
Kp November 25, 2017 for Model Number Kenmore 110.85862400 Dryer has power. All lights and controls work. All normal in Diagnostic Mode. But, using any setting, when Start is pressed and held, dryer hums for about 5 seconds, then stops. No drum turn, no motor noise. Thermal fuse has continuity. Both motor windings show 1.9 Ohms. Belt Switch tests good. Resistance between P1-3 and P1-4 on Control Board shows OL (not sure what good reading should be, test sheet just says replace if between 2 and 6 Ohms) . Door Switch test in Diagnostics Mode shows good (beep on close and open, 4E code on display when open), BUT only get OL or very high resistance (15MOhms) between P1-3 and P1-2. So, conflicting results for Door Switch, everything else checks OK. Hard to believe a bad Door Switch would show good in Diagnostics Test, so guessing Control Board is issue. Your Thoughts?
1 Answer KP, Based on the information this would be an issue with the control board of the unit with getting OL reading. Read More...
Tung October 14, 2017 for Model Number Whirlpool Dryer model YGEW9200LW0 Hello, my Whirlpool Dryer model YGEW9200LW0 has no power at all. I read from your website that it could be the Control Board went bad. Can you give me some guidance on how to test it because I don't want to order the wrong part. Thank you.
1 Answer Tung, You will want to check for power into the control board at the P1 5 connector (Black wire) and P1 pin 2 (white wire for 120 vac getting to it. If there is power but no power any where else then this control board will be faulty. Read More...
Sharon J September 23, 2017 for Model Number GEW9250PW0 My dryer is not working. The control locked light is on. What do I need to do?
1 Answer Sharon, You will want to try and push the end of cycle signal button for 3 seconds and see if the lock goes off. If it does not then this will most likely be a faulty user interface board. Read More...
Renee September 07, 2017 for Model Number GEW9250PW0 Dryer when trying to start the light flashes and beeps I put it in the diagnostic mode and checked the console switches they all lit up no error codes displayed moisture sensor says to bridge two strips on lint screen housing. I have looked all over the lint screen housing and cannot locate these two strips to bridge can you help me locate them ?
1 Answer Renee, You will want to look inside of the unit below where the lint filter will go into the unit and look for strips that look like WP3387223. Read More...
