Steve February 12, 2012 for Model Number GEW9200LT1 Hold to start button won't start dryer, all other power seems OK. Checked harns-wire both thermals open. Is this the problem?
1 Answer Hello Steve. If the dryer does not start and run, you will need to test and see if the thermal fuse or the door switch is bad on the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
Bob January 29, 2012 for Model Number GEW9250PW1 When on Manual Mode Dryer will Dry Heavy Clothes (Cotton Sweats, Towels, Jeans) When on Automatic mode cycle finishes with clothes Damp. I clean the dryer exhast every month to 2 months lucky to get a fist full from a 17 foot run of PVC Pipe. External vent opens when Dryer Runs, Internal air passeges are clean from the filter to the exhaust outlet. Will replaceing the Sensor or sensor wiring harness fix the problem? Medium wight and light clothes dry completely What do you suggest?
1 Answer Hello Bob. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the thermistor WP8577274 may be bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Heather H December 03, 2011 for Model Number 11072062101 I have the wire harness part#3406653 here (looks exactly like the one you have #AP3083393 except the 2 blues are red). My question is....the 2 red circle things are they the fuses? I obviously have no clue about dryers. Thank you for your help.
1 Answer Hi Heather. They have changed the " MOV" part color simply because of a better part needed. It Is a metal oxide varistor That is used as a moisture sensor to supply the control board information. The thermal fuse is located on top of the blower hsg. It should read closed Or 0 ohms on a ohm meter. It is part # WP3390719. Thank You. Read More...
John November 29, 2011 for Model Number med9700sq0 Just a follow up question, med9700sq0 maytag, the thermal fuse has continuity in it using a multimeter. Still no control on the dryer.
1 Answer Hello John. If the fuse is good, then it sounds like the control board WP8546219 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
John November 27, 2011 for Model Number med7900sq Maytag dryer med9700sq wont come on, not even the drum light if the door is open. Checked the outlet and there is power of 110v using the multimeter, what is wrong?
1 Answer Hello John. You will need to check and make sure the terminal block on the unit is not burnt. You should have 240 volts not 120 volts. Also, if the power is good, you will need to test the thermal fuse WP3392519 on the blower wheel housing. It should read closed. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Theresa M. August 20, 2011 for Model Number ggw9200lwo We put in a new igniter it stilll will not ignite.
1 Answer Hi Theresa. You Need to check continuity with a ohm meter of the thermal fuse part # WP3390719. This part Is on the top of the blower hsg. , 2-wires next to the 4-wire cycling thrermostat. Thank you. Read More...
John August 04, 2011 for Model Number MED9600SQ Control power won't come. Dryer won't do anything if control power won't come on. Unit has power,door switch is working because dryer drum light comes on when door is opened. I have checked all the thermal switches and have continuity. I have no continuity at the thermal disc on part AP3133489. Could this be the problem?
1 Answer John, Yes, the thermal fuse WP3390719 could and probably is the issue. This component should have constant continuity across the terminals if it is "good". It is a "One Shot " fuse, and will have to be replaced whenever there is No continuity. Thanks and Good Luck. Read More...
Peter B. July 10, 2011 for Model Number GEW986KQ1 The dryer does absolutely nothing. Is it possibly an internal fuse issue?
1 Answer Hello Peter, you are right. The thermal fuse WP3390719 could have blown and this will cause the unit to do nothing. You should first take a look at the main breaker box and make sure that both levers for the dryer are turned on. You will also want to verify the door switch WP3406107 is still clicking when you press it in and release it. Hope you find this information helpful. Thanks! Read More...
Stephen April 18, 2011 for Model Number GEW9200LWO Setting temperature control at High setting, the clothes don't dry as good as medium setting. Checked out all temperature sensors with VOM. Not able to check out accurate temperature of sensors. Removed and cleaned out internal blower ducting. Drying has not changed since cleaning.
1 Answer Hello Stephen. You will need to test the thermistor WP8577274 and see if it is bad. It should read around 10K ohms at room temperature and around 2.5K ohms at the high heat setting. If it is reading bad, the thermistor will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
