Will December 03, 2014 for Model Number RED4440VQ1 My dryer is function and can run cycles, but there is no heat. I have cleaned the vent and made sure nothing is being blocked.
1 Answer Hello Will. 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. 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...
Gary November 14, 2014 for Model Number LEQ8857JQ1 My dryer is an Whirlpool ultimate care and I have checked all the fuses and the heater coil itself and all are good but I still don't have heat coming out. I'm lost and don't know where or what to do next. please help
1 Answer Hello Gary, If 240Vac is available at the terminal block, you will need to disconnect the red wire from the heat switch that leads to the thermal cutout, (the other goes to the timer). If 120Vac is present on the switch terminal, the timer and heat switch is good and the problem will be the centrifugal switch in the motor 279827, the heating element, the high limit thermostat, the operating thermostat, or the thermal fuse. All that is left in the circuit is the harness. Read More...
Douglas November 06, 2014 for Model Number 11067642600 I have a Kenmore dryer that wont start I have replaced the fuses dryer started this morning for one load would not start when tried to do second load.
1 Answer Hello Douglas. Check the thermal fuse again. If it is blown, then either the vent is bad, heater is grounded, or the cycling thermostat is not working. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

John October 30, 2014 for Model Number WED5100VQ1 I have issues with dryer sometimes heating right and sometimes not at all. I have replaced the heating element and tested the thermal fuse and cut off and thermostat all test as complete circuit. I have checked all wiring connections. I still have intermittent heat function.
1 Answer Hello John, If all connections at the wall outlet, terminal block, and breaker are tight and sufficient voltage are properly supplied to the unit, the issue will be either an intermittent set of contacts in the timer WPW10185982 or the motors' centrifugal switch 279827. Read More...
Lynn October 29, 2014 for Model Number AED4475TQ1 Admiral electric dryer heats but shuts off early in high heat cycles and will sometimes shut off early in low heat cycle . Can usually restart immediately in no heat or low heat cycle . I am thinking high tempature thermostat is bad .
1 Answer Hello Lynn. If it does not start immediately in high heat, it is the motor 279827 that needs to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Gail. Check the vent and the blower wheel. If all is clear, you will need to check the cycling thermostat on the unit. Read More...
Dennis October 20, 2014 for Model Number gleq1252ee0 My dryer stopped heating. I checked the elements and sensors for continuity and all were ok. I took off the control panel and found a burned terminal on the relay. I took the control panel apart and found the corresponding solder joint also burned and not making a good connection. Tried to resolder but still no good. I purchased a refurbished control panel and installed it and it worked great for two weeks and then the same problem came back. Same connector and solder joint burned. What could be causing the same exact problem to occur?
1 Answer Hello Dennis, If your model number is actually GLEQ2152EE0, you will need to verify the voltage in the wall outlet. Incorrect voltage can cause high current flow. If you have access to a clamp on ampmeter you can clamp it around one wire in the heating circuit and make sure there is not a higher amperage than about 20.5. If it is at this reading, you will need to verify the thermistor reads about 50Kohms of resistance. If the amperage is high you will need to verify all connectors are fitting tight on there connection points and the harness is not crimped and the heating element is not shorted to ground.

Mike R September 26, 2014 for Model Number EED4400VQ0 I asked a question last evening and am still waiting for a response? please respond asap
1 Answer Mike, You will want to disconnect the vent from the back of the unit and run the dryer on one of the cycles that is not advancing for 10 minutes with nothing in the unit. If the timer advances then the ducting needs to be cleaned out and if it does not advance then the cycling thermostat would be the issue. Read More...
Mike R September 25, 2014 for Model Number EED4400VQ0 My dryer timer will only advance in one of the 4 dryer/fluff cycles. In all cycles the heat will come on but the dryer stays on and will keep running until I manually advance the timer knob to shut off the heat and end the cycle by hand. I purchased a replacement timer from your company and replaced the old timer however I still am getting the identical effect as I did before I did the replacement. Could this replacement timer by defective or is there some other part that will correct the problem?

Lebron September 23, 2014 for Model Number LER5634LQo When changing the thermal cutoff is it necessary to also change the hi limit thermostat?
