Tom G July 31, 2017 for Model Number MEDC300XW0 Maytag dryer. Start up fine - runs and heats fine for about 15-20 mins. Then cuts off. If used in non-heat cycle (air fluff) runs as long as one likes. What do I need to replace for heat cycle to run a full cycle? Could it be cutting out because too hot?
1 Answer Hello Tom! Make sure your vents are clear and then you'll want to check the door switch WP3406107 to make sure it's opening and closing properly as well as the connections coming to it. If all looks good, you could have a defective control WPW10476828. We have not test procedures to verify if this board is defective or not. Hope this helps! Read More...
Ron M July 19, 2017 for Model Number 67732791 I recently changed out the temperature fuse for my Kenmore 70 series dryer as it was not drying on the delicate setting. Now it is too hot on the delicate setting. Is there a temperature switch that needs changing? Or could it be something else?
1 Answer Ron, It most likely is something else, first check the exhaust vent pipe and vent hood for kinks, clogs and restrictions. Then recheck the model number on the dryer serial plate and repost your question. Then we can research possible remedies and parts needs properly. Thanks, Read More...
Gary July 09, 2017 for Model Number MEDC200XW3 Dryer does not start. Checked cutoff switch and then it restarted. Repalceed back and again no start is there a relay or fuse for main power?
1 Answer Gary, There would be no relay or fuse for main power. It would be suggested to check the door switch to make sure that it is not damaged as this would be the most likely cause other than a thermal fuse on the blower housing that may be bad. Read More...
Joe T July 05, 2017 for Model Number GEX9868JQ0 Whirlpool Gold Dryer, on any cycle it turns on, heats up, but them after 2-4 minutes will turn off displaying E1 You have to turn it off and restart and it does the same thing again. I have replaced the Thermal Kit (the two sensors) you sell and it still does the same thing. What next? Wife is nicely threatening me, "please get it fixed!" Help! Joe!
1 Answer Joe, Check to make sure that the wiring between the thermistor and control board are good. If they are good then the issue will most likely be the control board not reading the thermistor properly. Read More...
Robert May 28, 2017 for Model Number wed9200q0..whirlpool dryer Why do I keep blowing the thermal cut-off fuse..is there another problem I need to fix.
1 Answer Robert, This issue would most likely be caused by a dryer vent that is clogged. You will want to check from the blower wheel to the outside of the home to make sure that it is clear. Read More...
Doug May 06, 2017 for Model Number 66712694 Dryer gets really hot, and element stays hot even when door is open and dial is not in off position, is it a grounded heat element? Kenmore dryer 70 series
1 Answer Doug, With the heater staying on when the door is open then this would most likely be a grounded element or a faulty centrifugal switch on the motor in which case the motor would need replaced. Also check the venting of the unit to make sure that it is clean from blower to outside of the home. Read More...
Doug March 24, 2017 for Model Number WED4800XQ3 My dryer works fine on timed dry but the "auto dry" cycle does not dry the clothes. It doesn't have moisture sensor so how does it determine when clothes are dry and where do you suggest I start checking?
1 Answer Doug, You will want to check the venting of the unit to make sure that it is clear and if this checks ok then the most likely cause will be a faulty cycling thermostat. Read More...
Joey March 03, 2017 for Model Number Ler7848dq0 I ordered part # 3399848 but got one that looks slightly different have only one hole for the screw instead of two that part # 3977393. Will the new one work .
1 Answer Joey, Yes the 279816 dryer thermal cut off kit will work in your machine. There is a small tab on the replacement fuse, that you insert into the screw opening on the housing, from the original mounting screw, then use one of the screws to mount the other side of the fuse. Read More...
Matthew February 26, 2017 for Model Number whirlpool Englis I check the heater coil it shows conductivity. Thermostat shows conductivity. Thermal cutoff shows no conductivity. Dryer runs and blows but no heat. Am I correct that the thermal cutoff is Bad?
1 Answer Matthew, If there is no continuity on the thermal cut off then it would be faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
