1 Answer Hello Tim. You will need to test for power to the ignitor. If there is power there, and the ignitor does not glow, you will need to replace the ignitor. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Bob Andersen March 29, 2017 for Model Number DE412 I have repaired almost everything on this dryer (belt, heating element/wires,rollers/etc.), but always have been able to fix it and, once fixed, is great. A few weeks ago it started smoking feintly and the buzzer also wouldn't stop buzzing until we opened the door and kept it open. I figured maybe thermostat or fuse. Any possibilities for helping me?
1 Answer Bob, Check or replace the motor W10410999 / W10410999. The faint smoke and odor and the continuous buzzing in the panel would most likely be due to a weak or faulty motor winding. The buzzer is the path of least resistance in the motor circuit, and would sound if the motor windings can't " carry" the load. You may also want to consider a new blower wheel Y303836 / Y303836 , just in case. Read More...
Chuck March 25, 2017 for Model Number wgd 4800xq1 Dryer gas burner comes on for about 20 seconds and goes off. I took everything apart and cleaned it thoroughly and tried again. Same result. I instaled the ignitor you sent and installed it and I noticed the ignitor comes on, the gas valves open and there is flame but the ignitor gets dimmer and dimmer and then the gas goes off,.
1 Answer Chuck, With the gas shutting off within 20 seconds and the venting is clean then this issue will most likely be in the gas coils. The part number for the coils would be 279834. Read More...
Marty March 09, 2017 for Model Number Kenmore 400 series gas dryer mdl 110.77422600 Dryer was heating slow but never got hot. Took forever to dry clothes. Suddenly stopped heating. I replaced the coils (279834) and the burner igniter (279311). The dryer will still not heat. All the wire connection were checked and are good. I looked for the glow in the front port and see nothing. What could it be that needs replaced?
1 Answer Marty, You will want to test the flame sensor to make sure that there is continuity, also check the thermostats and thermal fuses. Also check to make sure that the venting is clean and clear. Read More...
1 Answer Harry, You will want to test the solenoids on your gas valve to make sure that the coils are good. The part number for the coils are 279834. Read More...
Faith February 15, 2017 for Model Number MGDB850WQ0 My dryer will start out at the right drying time on sensor dry (I realize it changes while drying) but mine will change and go up to 135 minutes or so and when I check them they are dry. What would the problem be?
1 Answer Faith, You will want to try to clean the moisture sensor bars with rubbing alcohol. Once this is done if the problem still occurs then check the wiring between the sensor bars to the control and make sure that they are good. If they are then the control will be the issue. Read More...
Sandra December 26, 2016 for Model Number 110.7202015 if I replace the igniter & thermal fuse and it still doesn't heat what else can I try.
1 Answer Sandra, You would want to test all the thermostats doing a continuity test and then it could also be a gas coil issue. Read More...
Lou November 19, 2016 for Model Number GEW9200LW1 On Whirpool Model # GEW9200LW1 will not run sensing light comes on but will not start replace the thermal fuse and thermostat and no go.. However a E3 error comes up.
1 Answer Hello Lou. “E3” flashes when there is a key switch or software mismatch. Either the control panel is bad or the control board is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Mike October 12, 2016 for Model Number KGYE660WWH0 I'm checking the continuity of the gas ignitor. I'm confused on what the reading should be. I'm getting a reading of 36 ohms when testing at the 2 prong plug. Your video indicates the reading should be between 50-400. I also read in the question answers that the reading should be 36 ohms. Can you tell me if the ignitor is okay based on the 36 ohm reading? The dryer runs but doesn't heat. I've tested the thermal fuse, the coils and now the ignitor. What's next? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Mike. You will need to test the thermostats and the flame sensor and make sure they are good. They should read closed for continuity. Also, check the igniter to see if it is good. If it is not glowing, test for power. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter for the testing procedures. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Todd October 05, 2016 for Model Number W10086736 Dryer has no heat and will not stop running when turned on.
1 Answer Todd, The unit not stopping would most likely be caused by a bad timer on the unit. Read More...
