Jerry March 08, 2015 for Model Number GUSR493EB1WE Hi, the rotary start switch on my dryer broke so I removed it from its socket to check the number long story short my father used it and one of the connectors melted on the back metal plate. I need to replace the connector, can I use this one? It does look the same but I'm not sure about the size.
1 Answer Hello Jerry. The connector your needing to order is part number TJMA02875-1. These are 1/4" connectors. Read More...

Jack H March 07, 2015 for Model Number LHE5700W0 Can you tell me terminal size and wire size for AP3134638? If it takes 2, why don't you put them in as a kit?
1 Answer Jack, The terminal appears to be a 3/16" female spade and the wire gauge would most likely be a 16 gauge. Read More...
Sandy H. January 02, 2015 for Model Number LHE5800W1 Do I cut the plug wire off and replace with the adapters? The connection is the same thing, my connection the bottom is a plug in wire, it looks like the plug in wires are replaced by the adapter wires. I can't get anyone to verify this.

Chiree May 04, 2014 for Model Number LER4634EQ2 Do both ends have the same kind of electrical clip for making the connection, or is one end bare wires? Can I get a wire with the clip on both ends?
1 Answer Chiree, This heating element connecting wire only comes with one connector and if you need second connector you would have to purchase the connector and install it. It would have to be a high temp but you will have to determine what size connector is needed. In most cases it would be a 1/4" female spade connector. Read More...

Jeff W January 12, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool GEW9250W Electric Dryer My dryer is only working occasionally. It works great for a day and then quits blowing hot air. Then if I wait a day it will start to work again. Was does this sound like? Jeff
1 Answer Jeff, Based on this information, when the unit stops heating you will want to check at the terminal block and make sure that you have 240 vac across the outside wires on the block and check from each of the outer wires to the center wire for 120 vac. It sounds like you care loosing one side of your power supply. You will want to do the same thing at the outlet to make sure that there is power there. This could be anything from a loose wire to a bad house breaker causing the issue. Read More...

Kate December 06, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool Dryer LER4634JQ1 I replaced the thermal fuse and have checked the heat coils and all 3 thermostats with a multimeter but the dryer continues to run with no heat. The timer dial does advance when the dryer runs. All wiring appears to be intact. What else could be wrong?
1 Answer Hello Kate. You need to check and see if the motor or timer is bad and is not sending 120 volts to the heater and make sure you have 240 volts at the terminal block of the dryer. 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...
