I April 22, 2015 for Model Number 110-64622300 I have ordered and replaced the heating element ap3094254, thermal fuse 3392519 and the high limit thermostat 3977767 and the dryer runs but won't heat,. Checked and we are getting 240 volts from the panel. What else could need replacing?
1 Answer Hello I. You need to trace from the heater and see where your losing the voltage at. 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...
Chip April 14, 2015 for Model Number WED5100VQ1 My dryer is not heating up. I just put new heating coil in the dryer. I don't want to just buy parts.
1 Answer Hello Chip. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Check and make sure the unit is not set to Air Fluff. Also check the thermostats and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity.

Dan April 07, 2015 With the dryer thermal cutoff kit, should both the thermal cutoff and cycling thermostat that bolt onto the heater coil housing be normally closed when power is off? In my case coil is not getting hot and thermal cutoff is open across its contacts with power off to dryer.
1 Answer Dan, The thermal cutoff and the hi limit thermostat should be closed for continuity at room temperature. If the thermal is open then it is bad and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Mike April 04, 2015 for Model Number wed5300sq0 Why is it necessary to change both the thermal fuse and the high limit thermostat together( thermal cutoff kit)? Do the devices have different specifications than the originals?
1 Answer Mike, It's recommended to replace both more for safety and dependability than anything else. The thermal fuse is rated for 300 to 325 dgrs.F. The hi limit thermostat is rated at 200 to 225 dgrs.F. Under those circumstances, if the dryer got hot enough to open the thermal fuse, it most likely weakened or damaged the hi limit switch as well, so it's best to replace both parts, for proper operation and repair longevity.

Joe March 31, 2015 for Model Number Maytag. MEDC200XY0 Dryer won't turn on or heat. There is power to on/off switch, both on/off and door switch are working, I checked them both with a tester. Lint vent is clean
1 Answer Joe, You will want to test the thermal fuse on the blower housing to make sure that there is continuity. If there is no continuity then the issue will be a bad thermal fuse. Read More...
Tara March 01, 2015 for Model Number Whirlpool Dryer Model # WED510VQ1 My dryer runs but it takes 3-4 hours to dry a load of clothes. I cleaned it all out and the vents are clear. Would it be the thermostat?
1 Answer Hello Tara. It sounds like it is not heating. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Check and make sure the unit is not set to Air Fluff. Also check the heater and thermostats and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity.

Telle February 25, 2015 for Model Number Whirlpool Ultimate Care II Dryer Hi, our dryer will not tumble when you press the start button, but the heat comes on and just gets outrageously hot. We checked it for grounding issue and didn't see anything, and the belt is in tact and appears to be in working order. Venting is unobstructed. Closest repair place is a long drive away, so we're hoping to try to fix it ourselves. Any help would be awesome, thanks!
1 Answer Hello Telle. Look for a bad belt, or bad thermal fuse. Check the element and see if it is grounded out. This would be the reason for coming on. Read More...
Kevin February 22, 2015 for Model Number WED5300SQ0 What is the orange wire on the high limit thermostat for? where is the connection for the other end?
Patty From New York February 20, 2015 for Model Number LER7620KQ0 Dryer would not start so I took a chance and replaced the thermal fuse, put it back together and works, but why did it blow? It smells a little like burning. Should I also replace the heating element? Should I replace anything else?
1 Answer Hello Patty, The only thing that will blow a thermal cutout is excessive temperatures. For this reason, the ducting should be checked for clogs and/or restrictions. Also, since the high limit protects the thermal cutout, the high limit and thermal cutout should be changed at the same time as per the manufacturer. No other parts should be required if the duct is short and straight as possible and there are no restrictions. Read More...
