Mr.J February 21, 2012 for Model Number Maytag epic Z gas dryer mgd9700sq What is the indications when is time to replace the Moisture sensors? Is it a good idea to replace both, in this particular model I can see it takes two white metal curb stripes. Thank You!
1 Answer Hello Mr. J. The only time the moisture sensor would have to be replaced is when one gets damaged. Even if they get coated with softener film they can be cleaned with a clean cotton cloth and rubbing alcohol. In case they were to be in need of replacement, the part number is WP3387223. Be aware, since the part is illustrated with only one, if both need replacement, you will need to order two. I hope this helps you out! Read More...

Morgan January 03, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore 11072992101 Why does my dryer beep and shut off several times during one cycle. I have to turn the timer knob off and back on before it will start up again.
1 Answer Hello Morgan. It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly. Hope this helps. Read More...
Felipe M. October 25, 2011 for Model Number GEW9200LW0 Auto settings suck on this dryer. I have had to go to timed dry to get the deal done. Elect. dryer. Kinda figure it is the moisture sensor. Cheap and easy to replace, unless I should "clean" it first?
1 Answer Hi Felipe. After some time of dryer fabric sheets use they will leave residue build up on the moisture bars. Take some "scotchbrite" and scuff clean the bars so they can sense once again. Remove power and lower panel. On the rt. side if the lint catcher area is a wiring harness with a blue color -"mov"- the size of a "nickel" . Make sure this is plugged in all the way and not damaged. This short harness assy. is part # WP3406653. Thank You. Read More...
Bob September 13, 2011 for Model Number Kenmore 110.74972300 Clothes not drying completely. Burner shuts down. I opened the door for a bit and burner lights up again. I have cleaned the entire vent pipe, and the duct assembly. I have also replaced 279834 valve coils, 3403140 thermistor and 8577274 thermistor. Still not drying completely on timed or auto. Is the only thing left the moisture sensor? Thank you.
1 Answer Hi Bob. The flame sensor controls the overheating of the ignitor and conversley,underheating. Under the circumstances described, you will need the sensor. This part # is WP338906. Thank you. Read More...
Dennis July 25, 2011 for Model Number wep 9400sw1 The clothes get very hot in dryer and it seems to be adding time when the clothes are already dry. Could the moisture sensor be bad?
1 Answer Hello Dennis. The sensor bar WP3387223 can cause the problems your having. First check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry or the sensor bar to add time. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly. Hope this helps. Read More...

1 Answer Hello, you will need a multi meter MA-DM1 to verify you are getting the correct voltage to the unit. Here is a link you can refer to for help with using a multi meter: http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html . What you are experiencing is very odd and more than likely has to do with the power to the unit. Hope this helps! Read More...
