James G October 29, 2012 for Model Number MEDB850WQ0 I am unsure whether it's the element or the thermal fuse kit. Is there a way to check with an ohm meter?
1 Answer Hello James. Yes, you will test the parts for continuity. If they read closed then the parts are good. If open, you will need to replace the parts. Read More...
1 Answer Hi. Remove power. Remove the lower panel. The element is on the right in the heater can. Remove the front element cover that is mounted to the frame. Disconnect the element wires and pull the element part # WP8544771. Thank You. Read More...
Kurt March 07, 2012 for Model Number MEDB800VQ0 My dryer is running but not drying can it be anything other than the element? I've checked my house breakers and they check out fine.
1 Answer Hello Kurt. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer at the terminal block. Check and make sure the unit is not set to Air Fluff. Also check the heater WP8544771 and thermostats 279973 and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. 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...

Benjamin June 25, 2011 for Model Number WED9400SU0 I've determined the element is electrically open needs to be replaced. Any recommendations on how to change the element? I'm not finding a way to access the screws needed to remove from the front. Does this require removal of the back panel and air duct? About to give up on this DIY project...
