Tina April 02, 2018 for Model Number DE9700 My dryer had been squealing, so I replaced the rollers, that fixed that problem. Now, 4 days later it will not stay on, every time I turn it on -it just shuts off almost instantly. I checked the switch in the door, that seems to be fine, could it be the thermal fuse?
1 Answer Hello Tina. Check and make sure the drum is not binding up in the unit. If not, then the motor is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Thank you. Read More...
Rod July 19, 2017 for Model Number MDE5500AYQ Dryer is running but not heating. Tested continuity on the following: Thermal Fuse - 0 ohms, Hi Limit Thermostat - 0 ohms, Heating Element - 20 ohms. I think this is all OK. Wires and terminals all look good. Is there anything else I should check? I reassembled but it still won't heat.
1 Answer Hello Rod. Make sure the unit has 240 coming to it and is not set to air fluff. If good, then trace the power from the heater and see where your losing 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...
Ronnie January 03, 2017 for Model Number med9806ayw Dryer noise buzzes when pressing start button wont start, but once in a while it will and runs fine good heat? Therma fuse?
1 Answer Ronnie, This issue would more likely be caused by a faulty motor on the unit since when you hit start it buzzes but will not start up. Read More...
Dale August 08, 2016 for Model Number MDE5500AYW Is the part listed as "fuse, thermal #WP307473" the thermistor?

Jj June 18, 2016 for Model Number LDG8304AAE Dryer dries but does not stop/move off setting of "less dry". Clothes are dry. Does this dryer have a moisture sensor and where is it? What determines when the clothes are dry on this setting?
1 Answer JJ, The most likely cause for the unit to not advance on the auto cycle would be a faulty cycling thermostat part number WP307250. Read More...
Ritch September 15, 2014 for Model Number MDE6800AYW I have replaced the thermal fuse, affixed to the heating element housing, once already. It was only a few weeks ago. Had previously cleaned all excess lint from dryer and vent system to ensure no blockage. What could have caused thermal fuse to blow again?
1 Answer Hello Ritch. Either a clogged vent, grounded heater, or bad relay on the control board. 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...
Rich September 13, 2014 for Model Number MDE6800AYW Dryer keeps blowing the thermal fuse located on the heating element housing. Have cleaned vent system in the house and cleaned all lint from the dryer and around motor. What is causing this?
1 Answer Hello Rich. Check for as grounded element or bad cycling thermostat. If both are good, then the relay on the board is bad and the board will need to be replaced. Read More...
Kathy Larose April 08, 2014 for Model Number Mde3600ayq I ordered these parts: 307178, 307473, 3387137, and 33001762. I also ordered the multi-meter. For each of these parts, can you tell me the resistance/ohms for each of the parts? I am trying to test them with the multi-meter.
1 Answer Kathy, The resistance will read 0 or anything above 0 ohms on the parts. If they read OL or infinity then the part is bad. Read More...

Brent August 21, 2013 for Model Number MDE45000AYW I have checked all the fuses and thermostats for continuity all good. Checked for 240 volts at the block also good. Checked heating element which is new it showed closed circuit but still no heat. Any ideas would be welcomed. Thank you.
