Giovanni November 03, 2016 for Model Number 110.64112200 Kenmore electric dryer The dryer runs well and drys the clothes on " normal dry setting" but when i use the "high setting" it will run for a little bit then just cut off.
1 Answer Hello Giovanni. Check and make sure the vent is clean. If so, it sounds like the motor is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...

Frank October 14, 2016 for Model Number whirlpool My dryer getting too hot and stop. Maybe thermostat? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Frank. Make sure the vent is clear on the unit. If so, then check exhaust temp. If around 155-160, it is fine and the motor will need to be replaced. 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...
Bear J October 13, 2016 for Model Number LER5600HZ0 Dryer been working fine, heating element heats up but dryer wont run, belt is fine have had problems with thermal fuse before could it be the start switch or do you think it could be the heating thermostat?
1 Answer Bear, If the unit will turn on with the start switch but then when you release the switch it shuts off then it would be a issue with the motor. If the unit just will not start at all then you will want to check the door switch on the unit to make sure that the door switch is good. If the door switch checks ok and the thermal fuse has been replaced and still checks ok then you will want to check to make sure that the motor is getting voltage. If the motor is getting power but the unit will not turn on then the motor would be the issue. Read More...
Bill October 10, 2016 for Model Number WED4800XQ0 My Whirlpool electric dryer runs, but only has heat periodically. It works fine for a few loads, and then it runs but it has no heat. After it sits awhile, the heat may come on again for a few loads, and the same thing happens. The heater as well as the thermo cut off and thermo fueses check out OK. I am under the impression that the fuses can either be bad or good. Can any of them be tripped and re-set after the dryer sits for a period of time? This happens on any of the heat or dryer settings. Also the vent is clean, so there is no lint problem. Any ideas what might be the issue? Thanks so much!
1 Answer Bill, The thermal fuses and thermal cut offs don't normally "reset", they are a "one shot" fuse, once they "blow" they don't reset. If you haven't yet, you'll want to check to make sure there are no loose wiring connections or damaged wires to the heater or thermostats. Then check the timer and control switches wiring. If all's OK, you may want to suspect a defective heater contact inside the timer, making contact only intermittently/occasionally. . Read More...
Elaine C. October 08, 2016 for Model Number AED4475TQ NMFC Code 122920 (0) Admiral Dryer will only heat on timed dry high heat... will not heat on other cycles. It just started this about a week ago. I have cleaned filter (washed and dryed), checked air flow outside and it is good. Any suggestions? Thank you!
1 Answer Elaine, The problem is most likely a damaged contact inside the timer WP8299781. Since it does heat on the timed dry high heat setting, it's not a thermal fuse, thermostat or heater element issue. Read More...
Tommy September 20, 2016 for Model Number WED5100VQ1 My dryer takes longer to dry.Sometimes it does not get hot at all. Then i start a new cycle it drys ok, but may require a second cycle. Some times i juggles knobs and it my work ok. Can you help me. Would a heating element solve my problem???
1 Answer Tommy, This would not be a issue in which the heater is faulty. You will first want to check the venting of the unit to make sure that the vent is clear. This can cause longer drying times. It also sounds like whatever switch you are jiggling would be faulty and in need of replacement. Read More...
Alvis September 16, 2016 for Model Number Kenmore dryer I replaced the heating element in my dryer and when I plug it in my heating element heats up with the dryer off . What is my problem?
George September 13, 2016 for Model Number ler6634bh2 Folks purchased the Thermal limit replacements, used my meter and found that only the upper one was not working. Rreplaced it with your part and it worked for about a week and then the same fuse no longer works. Suggestions please?
1 Answer George, The first thing to check would be the venting of the unit to ensure that it is clear. If this checks ok then the cycling thermostat would be the most likely cause for the unit to continue to blow the thermal fuse. This would be a issue in which the cycling thermostat is not opening when it reaches temp. Read More...
Telegram Sam September 12, 2016 for Model Number WED5600SQ0 Have an old electric dryer that started tripping the breaker. Replaced the Dryer Cycling Thermostat, Dryer Thermal Fuse, the Heating Element, and finally installed a new Thermal Cut-Off Kit in that order. Still will run, with heat, for about 3-5 minutes before tripping the breaker. What am I missing? I find it hard to believe the breaker itself is faulty, but is that where I'm at? Thank you for your time.
1 Answer Telegram Sam, With the unit running for 3 to 5 minutes and the thermostats and heater have been replaced then the breaker would be the most likely issue causing this issue. Read More...
