Richard Leandro May 03, 2022 for Model Number ge dryer gtdp300emows my dryer will only run if i hold the start button in.
1 Answer Richard, With the dryer only running while holding the start button then this will be a faulty motor as the motor is not switching from the start winding to the run winding. Read More...
Carol F June 30, 2021 for Model Number GEW9200LW1 I'm having sporadic problems trying to use the delicate dry cycle. When I push the start button, nothing happens. Occasionally, if I hit the start button, it will switch automatically from delicate to casual cycle. The normal cycle and heavy duty seem to work fine. Is this a problem with the control panel or the control board? Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Carol, It would be part number WP8530589. A lot of times you will find the plastic tab that actuates the start button is broken. Read More...
Chip May 26, 2021 for Model Number GEW9200LW1 Hi, none of the buttons on my Whirlpool Duet's console light up, but the tub light works. Here's what I've done: Using the 8178071 L-69 Whirlpool Duet Gas and Electric Dryers job aid, I've entered the diagnostic mode. 88 appears in the Estimated Time Remaining display. Going through the keypad test, two steps fail: The Dryness Level test (no beeps and all lights remain lit) and the Wrinkle Shield test (same result). All other tests, including the Start test, succeed. The Sensing keypad test shows a software revision code of 02, and the Start keypad test shows a project ID code of 06. Where I need guidance is whether I need a new a) Console Electronics Board, b) Machine Control Electronics Board, or c) something else. The manual refers to console situations that don't really apply, e.g., none light up, a particular group lights up, etc. (while in diagnostic mode). They ALL light up in diagnostic mode, but the 2 tests that I mentioned above fail. Outside of diagnostic mode, nothing lights up. If a or b, could you please provide a part number so I can order? Let me know if you need additional information. Thank you, Chip
1 Answer Chip, With the buttons not working, this would be a User interface issue and the user interface would need to be replaced. Read More...
William December 10, 2018 for Model Number GEW9200LL1 Dryer will not start cycle. Control lights up and gives a time on the display, but is stuck in "Sensing" I have checked the door switch, and replaced the thermal fuse with no luck. Any suggestions?
1 Answer William, You will want to check the belt switch to make sure that it is good. Also check the thermistor for a resistance of 10K ohms of resistance at room temp of 77 degrees. If this checks ok then the issue will most likely be caused by a faulty main control board. Read More...
Charles March 31, 2017 for Model Number GEW9200LWO Squeak during operation that ultimately ended with dryer quitting. Seemed to be idler pully and ordered replacement kit which also had belt and wheels. On tear down realized squeak was in motor bearing so ordered and replaced motor in addition to pully kit. On reassembly dryer comes on and changes settings, but will not start. I've been through a check of belt and door cutoff switches but no success. Any recommendations?
1 Answer Charles, Double check all wiring to make sure that the thermal fuse if connected, make sure that the belt switch is active and that the door switch is connected properly. This would be the most likely cause for this issue. Read More...
Michael B September 15, 2015 for Model Number GEW9200LT1 My dryer stoped heating I checked replaced the 3 switchs and now the heating element will come on for about 30 sec. and go off will not come back on till it seats 2 -3 hrs. Then will do the same thing. Can you help me to find whats wrong with it?
1 Answer Michael, You will want to check to see if you are getting 240vac at the heater when it is not working. It is possible that either the relay on the control board is faulty or the centrifugal switch on the motor of the unit which would need replaced if that is the case. Read More...
Brad July 15, 2015 for Model Number Whirlpool GGW9250PW3 With power to the dryer: push "control on" button and nothing happens no lights nothing.. Took a look at the control board disconnected P3 and P4 ribbon wire bundles (with the power cord plugged in) and re connected them with the rotary dial in the " timed dry" mode. All lights come on and I am able to use dryer for one cycle. To use again I must remove and replace p3 and or p4 bundles. Did manufacturers test #5 and most all reading within specs 1-3.5mohms. 4 were not wrinkle shield 7.2, dryness level 7.7, less time 7.4 and pause /cancel 7.23 . What's up? what needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Hello Brad. If you are sure the outlet is good, you will need to order and replace the control board WP8546219 on the unit. Read More...
Paul September 20, 2014 for Model Number GEW9200LW1 Dryer dead except for door open light. Replaced control board---no change. What should I do next?
1 Answer Paul, With the control board being good, the most likely cause for only the door open light to be on would either be the wiring between the main board and the user interface or a faulty user interface. Read More...
Tommy June 27, 2014 for Model Number gew9200lq0 While disassembling the dryer to replace a thermistor I mishandled the user interface panel and the small ribbon cable snapped right in half. I can't find it listed anywhere. Someone suggested I'd have to buy the electronic control 853059 and the cables would be included. Is that my only option?
1 Answer Tommy, Unfortunately, Yes, you will need to replace the User Interface Assembly W10838693 to receive the ribbon cables and harness to the machine control board. That is the only way to receive the cables. Read More...
Ed D September 03, 2013 for Model Number GEW9200LW0 Our whirlpool duet dryer has recently been acting up in the following manner: The cycle selection wheel and everything to the left of it works properly. The temperature select and the chime volume buttons no longer do anything with both being stuck on high heat and high volume. We had tried a power cycle on the unit and nothing changed. We also tried the diagnostic tests and all passed except for being able to use the above buttons. This to me sound like the console electronics board being bad but was not sure if this was a symptom of the machine control board going out.
1 Answer Hello Ed. It sounds like the user interface will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
