Mike July 20, 2015 for Model Number WED5840SW0 I'm trying to replace the thermal cutoff and for the bottom part in the video, it shows an orange wire and a red wire but I only have a red wire. I am using part 279816. Do I have the wrong one? If I don't, what do I do differently since I don't have an orange wire? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Mike. You will just skip the step of the orange wire if your model does not have one. Read More...
Patricia W July 09, 2015 for Model Number NED5800TQ0 My dryer is not heating. I know I need a heating element, but do I have to replace the sensor as well? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Patricia. No, if the sensor is good, you will not need to replace it. 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...
1 Answer Hello Terry. If the unit has to cool back down before it will start again, you will need to order and replace the motor 279827 on the unit. Read More...
Rj May 30, 2015 Whirlpool Cabrio dryer works fine in "timed" manual cycles, but won't heat up in automatic cycles and "check vent" light comes on. Vent has been cleaned, replaced with straight pipes and checked many times for obstruction.
1 Answer RJ, If the unit is saying check vent and the vent is clean and clear then the issue will end up being in the control board. Make sure that there is nothing caught in the blower wheel also. Read More...
Pete May 19, 2015 for Model Number LER7646EQ2 How can you tell if the thermal cut off needs to be replaced? My whrilpool dryer run but it only blows out cold air, and doesn't dry my clothes.
1 Answer Hello Pete. It should read closed for continuity if the thermal cut off is good. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

1 Answer Hello Grace. You need to test the thermal fuse WP3392519 and the door switch WP3406105 on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Bob May 02, 2015 for Model Number MEDC400VW0 My dryer will not cool down or shut off, I thought it was the timer so I bought one and replaced it but it did not solve the problem, any suggestions.
1 Answer Bob, This issue would most likely be that the centrifugal switch sticking on the motor. This would require a new motor. Read More...
Blake M. April 30, 2015 My Maytag Bravo quiet series starts beeping during drying and gets really hot and shuts off.
1 Answer Hello Blake, While it would simplify the diagnosis with the model number so a wiring diagram could be pulled for proper reference, this can be caused by a shorted heating element, a stuck centrifugal switch in the motor, or a harness issue. If we could ask you to please re-post with the model number from the units' I.D. tag, we can look up the model you have in your home and give a logical diagnosis and include part numbers that are compatible with your unit. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Sean April 24, 2015 for Model Number LEC8858EZ1 I have removed the two wires from the lower tstat and cant remember how they go back. The appliance place I ordered my part from only sold me the one part I know now that I need both. I just want to be sure that I get it right as I think I toasted the one I bought! can you tell me which wires go where? there is only two.
1 Answer Sean, With this being a thermal cutoff or high limit thermostat and there being only 2 connection points it would not matter which wire goes to which terminal. This part just passes voltage and would not matter. Read More...
Bob Kleiser April 23, 2015 for Model Number MED5870TW0 Everything runs but no heat. Looking at the video it shows 3 wires connected to the Hi-Limit Thermostat. I only have 2 wires, both red and no orange wire. Before ordering a kit I need to know if this is normal wiring. Thanks, Bob
1 Answer Bob, The manufacturer has redesigned the part in which there will be instructions according to how yours is wired up that comes with the part. Read More...
