Ray December 31, 2023 for Model Number WGD5800BW0 RE my moisture sensor replacement, it looks like at least two of the screws for the lint bracket are behind the front loading door. Is there a proper video for this model?
1 Answer Ray, There is not a video for this specific model but if you remove the lower access panel, you may be able to get to the sensor bars without removing the front panel. If you do have to remove the front panel the screws will be behind the access panel. Read More...
Robert December 27, 2023 for Model Number MED2000AW0 Followed your video that told me to remove two screws from the front and three screws from the rear. Problem is my dryer does not have a center screw in rear - just a tab that is not an obstruction. However, I cannot remove the piece to access the thermal sensor for replacement. Something else is holding it in place. Any ideas?
1 Answer Robert, unfortunately, the model provided is not showing as a valid model. If the model could be verified from the model tag and provided in a new post, this may allow the most accurate information to be presented. Generally speaking, there would have to be a screw holding onto the housing. If it can not be found, the dryer front panel can be removed to access the bulkhead to change out the sensor bars.

Bob November 27, 2023 for Model Number WGD5600XW0 Dryer worked great. Now it runs but no heat. Code is F3, E6. I tried to clean moisture sensor bars but it still did not work. What needs to be fixed? Thank you
1 Answer Bob, You will want to test the sensor harness connection, metal sensor strips machine control. You will want to access the tech sheet inside the unit and go to page 20 test number 4 and follow the steps to determine which part has failed. Read More...
Sam March 26, 2023 for Model Number WGD8300SW0 In the 'Auto' > Normal > Medium Temp Adjust> Normal Dryness cycle, which is what I run my dryer at, the dryer works fine until it counts down to the last 7 minutes and then keeps running forever. I set a timer of 40 minutes on my phone and force stop the dryer - the clothes are dry at the end of 40 minutes, but the dryer never stops running - it displays 7 minutes remaining. What could be the reason?
1 Answer Sam, Start by cleaning the sensor bar with alcohol and also check to see if the wires are in place and not loose or broken. Read More...
Mike February 10, 2023 Your video shows the black wire on top, yellow/red stripe on bottom. I replaced my sensors yesterday and found the yellow on top/black on bottom. I do not think I have ever taken this apart so assuming this is correct. It works properly and has for years. What would happen if the wires are reversed? Will it work better if I reverse the wires back to black on top/yellow on bottom?
1 Answer It makes no difference where these two connections are placed. It will work the same if the two connections are reversed. Read More...
Patm January 29, 2023 for Model Number Whirlpool Duet Dryer Model GEW9250PW0 I watched your video on how to replace the moisture sensor, ordered the part and replaced. My question is, "should both sensor bars be replaced?" Also, in the video, it is mentioned that the wires are in a certain order, top and bottom. Is it really necessary to replace wires in the correct order? My reason for asking the question is that I found my wires not in the same order as your video indicated, yellow and black. Mine were reversed.
1 Answer PatM, It would be recommended to replace both sensor bars and the wiring will be the same as your unit is set up. Read More...
Danny097 January 17, 2023 for Model Number WED8300SW2 I have replaced high limit thermostat, thermal cutoff, thermistor and dryer thermal fuse. I have made sure all vents and hoses are clean. I still have a very hot dryer. It does not seem to only air dry. The heating element always comes on. Any ideas?
1 Answer Danny, This would most likely be caused by a relay that is stuck on the main control board and will require a new board. Read More...
Ray February 05, 2022 for Model Number Whirlpool Duet Dryer HE Sensing light comes on, does not run (only a click), I replaced the thermal fuse but still not working
1 Answer Hello Ray, This usually indicates a failed thermistor. Posting a new question including the units' model number will enable us to provide you with a compatible part for your unit. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Stolszew October 18, 2021 for Model Number WGD72HEDW0 Dryer was working fine and then a new load was put in on "Timed Dry" and started and all I get is a "click" sound from the mother board area and the "Wet" light comes on. I've checked and relaced both the thermal fuse and thermistor control along with the drum belt and moisture senor electrodes and I still get the same result.
1 Answer Hello Stolszew, the click would be the motor run relay closing on the main control/relay board. It would need to be checked with a multimeter if it is sending 120v out to the motor. Read More...
Dave October 26, 2020 for Model Number WED8600YW1 My lint light stays on all the time I have taken the front off the dryer and cleaned it out and also blowed it out with compressed air still the light stays on would the moisture sensor bars cause this problem?
1 Answer Hello Dave, according to the manufacturer the "check lint filter" indicator light is always lit as a reminder to check/clean the filter. Read More...
