John August 28, 2024 for Model Number 110.87088601 I’m trying to remove the heating element to see if I need to replace it. I can’t pull out the housing (the muffler like housing that the element is inside of. Seems like I have to pull it out in order to replace the element.
1 Answer Hello John, thank you for contacting APP, There should be screws securing the upper half of the heater box to the lower half of the heater box that will need to be removed to separate the 2 and access the heating element. Read More...
Deedee December 02, 2023 for Model Number Whirlpool Dryer WED70HEBW0 Replaced the heater element after finding a break/open circuit in the old one. Now the heating element is always on when the unit is otherwise off. What could have been connected incorrectly during the part replacement?
1 Answer DeeDee, This issue will most likely not be with something being connected wrong but would more likely be that the relay on the board is stuck closed and causing this issue to occur. This could have cause the element to fail previously. Read More...
Curt July 13, 2022 for Model Number 79641473210 I have this Kenmore front load washer that just quit working no lights come on no response when pressing start button. It just quit mid wash water is still in it. I still have power at outlet, breaker did not trip. Where would I start? to try and figure out what is going on. mod# 79641473210 ser# 204KWMK0Q307 Thank you for your help.
1 Answer Curt, Start in the machine control panel area and see if the manufacturer tech sheet is located there, if so use it to follow the manufacturer diagnosis procedure. If not then check for incoming 120vac to the main control board (if the board has power to it and it doesn't light up/respond then it is likely a board issue. Read More...

Mitchell January 24, 2021 for Model Number WED9400S002 recently replaced the thermal fuse on my duet dryer. dryer is now working fine except the dryer now only dries on high heat, is that a heating element problem or more likely a thermostat problem? thx for your help

Myrta October 12, 2019 for Model Number MOD 110.87872602 My dryer front load is Kenmore Elite (smartheat.QuietPak4) MOD 110.87872602 BE NY0502504 TYPE: DADT-ELE-2406024-EL54 My dryer works but does not heat. When we checked we found that the heating element part rotted. I can't find the parts I need the heating element, the cover that covers it and the cover that joins in the back. I think it rotted due to a leak that had been upstairs some time ago. All settings work.Help me, I don't get the pieces because I don't really know the names.
1 Answer Myrta, the correct part numbers for what you are asking about are, WP8544771 heating element, WP8544769 the top cover for the element, WP8544770 for the bottom portion of the heater box, and 8544776 for the clip that connects the heater box assembly to the rear heater duct, WP3387911. Hope this helps Read More...
Wayne August 22, 2019 for Model Number MEDB800VQ0 I have a Maytag Bravos 400, MEDB800VQ0 dryer and need to replace the heating element. Do I access it by taking off the back panel or the front panel? Does the drum need to be removed in order to access the heating element?
1 Answer Wayne, to replace the heating element the front panel would need to be removed. The drum can be removed to make the removal and installation of a new element much easier. Read More...
Jimmy E November 07, 2018 for Model Number WED9200SQ0 After removing the top, your video show two release tabs to remove the front panel. My machine does not have release tabs. There are two screws on top of the panel, I removed them, and the panel has guides for lifting the panel straight up, but the panel is resistant to movement. I did not force it, want to know if I am on the right track. The serial # is MU4096771, Model WED9200SQ0.
1 Answer Jimmy, Make sure that you remove the ring that goes around the door and up to the control panel and on the back side of the control there should be 2 screws that would need removed then it should be able to be removed. Read More...
Dave Grimm July 31, 2018 for Model Number 110.87088601 Dryer is not heating. Pulled apart and cleaned. heater element looks good. Did the self check that comes with dryer. It gave a code of f25. Thermo resistor. order one and replaced it. I still have the same code and dryer still not heating. Been reading and there saying it could be the thermal fuse. Does the new heater element come with a new thermal fuse. Thank you
1 Answer Dave, There is a inlet thermistor which is located on the side of the heater housing and is part number WP8557403. Either the wiring to this thermostat is faulty or the thermostat is bad and would need to be replaced. Read More...
