Douglas K May 16, 2017 for Model Number WGD5200VQ0 My dryer will come on and heat at first start,but won't stay hot til cloths are dry. Would this be the high limit? The vent pipe has been cleaned and it was dirty when the problem first started. It takes a long time before dryer will restart hot.
1 Answer Douglas, You will want to test the hi limit to make sure that it has continuity. It would also be recommended to test the gas coils to make sure that they are good and check the operating thermostat to make sure that it is not defective. Read More...
Dave April 30, 2017 for Model Number wdg6400swo My dryer ignites but does not dry. low heat when I check the limit switches, they do not open, unless it opens and closes faster than my meter can read. not sure what else cuts off the flame. is there a temperature control I am missing.
1 Answer Dave, You will want to check the venting of the unit to make sure that the venting is clear. If this is ok then the most likely cause would be weak gas coils on the unit. Read More...
Jimmy October 13, 2016 for Model Number Maytag MGDC400VWO I have a Maytag gas dryer that is about 6 years old, A couple nights ago, my wife put some clothes in the dryer and the dryer ran for a couple hours before she realized that it was still running. She checked and the clothes were dry. She started another load, and the dryer will not heat. I'm thinking that most likely this is the cycling thermostat? Would the cycling thermostat keep it from shutting off? I did replace the valve coils a little over a year ago.
1 Answer Jimmy, With the unit not shutting off by itself then this would be more likely a timer issue. It could be a cycling thermostat if the timer is not advancing and you could check the thermostat for continuity to make sure that it is good. Read More...
Andrew T September 18, 2016 for Model Number 110.74652400 hello, I have a kenmore dryer model # 110.74652400. I have a problem with it not heating up. At first it heats up. The igniter glows and ingites the flame. after a 1 or 2 flame will go out. and reignites again when igniter glows. But after awhile it just stops igniting the flame. the igniter will glow but will not ignite a flame. I have tested all parts with a multi meter and came back good. only 2 part i could not fully check was high limit thermostat and cycling thermostat. Thay had to be at high heat to test them. So I am not sure if it is them or maybe possibly the gas valve itself. Thank you for your time.
2 Answers Andrew, You described the classic gas valve coil failure. After a few cycles the magnetic coil will "breakdown" and will not raise the internal plunger to allow the gas to flow through the valve body. Replace the gas valve coil kit 279834 / 694540 and you should be fine. By the way, all the thermostats should have a "closed" circuit at room temperature. The coil kit is in stock and available at this time. Thanks, Read More...

2 Answers Andrew, It would be possible that the cycling thermostat would be the cause of the unit no igniting but would be more likely the gas valve since the igniter is igniting. Read More...
Diy Ed May 03, 2016 for Model Number LGR6611LQ0 Gas dryer timer will not advance in auto mode, manual timing OK. Could not find any moisture electrodes on this model.
1 Answer Hello Ed. You will need to check and see if the cycling thermostat is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Patrick April 04, 2016 for Model Number AGD4475TQ1 Dryer wont run at all door switch checks OK, push to start switch checks OK, Thermal fuse checks OK, Resistance on motor checks Main #4-#5 checks 1.5 normal checks 3.5 when start ring is held in, Start #4-#6 checks 3.6 with start ring held in.Is the motor good if not what is my next step? Thank you
1 Answer Patrick, Check the broken belt switch to make sure that it is good and is depressed. If this checks ok then the motor would be the issue with the unit not starting. Read More...
Ray January 08, 2016 for Model Number LGQ9857LW8 The dryer will sometimes heat other times not. I can hear a clicking like some kind of cycling module. Would this be the Cutoff-Tml or something else.
1 Answer Hello Ray. You will need to check the cycling thermostat and all the wiring on the unit. Also, make sure your house breaker is good. Read More...
Tom August 20, 2015 Old part number for Thermostat high limit was 36T21 10670 L205-40F 3403140 A9040 (everything on old part not sure which is needed) New part number is W10423382 are they the same for whirlpool dryer model #LGR4634EQ3?
Felix October 08, 2014 for Model Number W10423382 which replaces pater # 3403140 Hi, My question is that part # W10423382, replaces part # 3403140 which looks completey different from each other, how do I tell which leads to connect the red and black wire to, or does it even matter for this part since it's "jumpered" to another thermostat. Thanks
