Rich August 18, 2012 for Model Number GEW9250L Dryer only works for "Bulk" items, all other setting light/indicators are dead.
1 Answer Rich, You're on the right track. Your most likely issue is the User Interface WP8558753. You didn't mention any error or diagnostic codes. So the indications are a faulty control. We'll send you some additional information, sto help determine the actual issue, and get you up and running. Thanks Read More...
Syd April 29, 2012 for Model Number YGEW9250PW0 I am having trouble with my dryer control locked light is on and not responsive to any button. I tried to unlock it by pressing the "End of Cycle Signal" button for 3-10 seconds but the dryer is still locked. I tried unplugging the dryer and the control locked light remains on. Is there a way to reset control pannel? Or does it require replacement(AP3775978)
1 Answer Hello Syd. If the lock light will not clear by pressing the button, you will need to replace the electronic control WP8558753 on the unit. Read More...
Jolius April 07, 2012 for Model Number gew925oplo Why was my dryer working then there was a power failure and the indicator light and display are flashing and won't take any selection?
1 Answer Hello Jolius, The control board WP8546219 or the user interface WP8558753 has failed unless you have a bad connection. I would go in and check all of the connections by, one at a time, disconnecting and reconnecting all of the harnesses. If this doesn't do it, check for voltage going into the control board. If voltage is going in the board, check the output of the board. If voltage is going out also, the user interface has failed. If not, the control board has failed. Read More...
Bob February 27, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool GEW9250PW1 My electric dryer won't turn on. Light comes on when open door. I unplugged from wall and after hour plugged back in. Seemed to work but is continuously acting up and doing crazy stuff. Our power did "blink" just before this problem and we are not sure but the dryer 'may' have been running at the time. I unplugged from the wall, took top apart for inspection(no burnt marks), and unplugged the control console from the machine board (P3 & P4). I plugged them back in and plugged back into wall. Now the only thing that seems to work at all is the light inside when open door(I have 240v at terminal block). Where you think my problem may be?
1 Answer Hello Bob. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the electronic control WP8558753 is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
Max P. December 11, 2011 for Model Number GEW9250PW0 I'm having the same problem as Mike above: the light inside the dryer comes on when I open the door, but the control panel is dead. If I look very closely, some of the LEDs on the control panel are very dimly randomly lit, but it's otherwise dead. The terminal block looks fine as far as I can tell, and my cheap voltage tester shows 220V at the outlet. Anything else I can check? Do I need a new control board? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Max. Yes, if there is power to the electronic control WP8558753 and it does not work, you will need to replace the control. Hope this helps. Read More...
Jim G. November 21, 2011 for Model Number GEW9250PW1 Dryer start up works intermitantly. If I cut power and sometimes if I leave door open and leave off for a period of time, am able to control panel/lights to come on and start dryer. Also the damp light (left side of panel row of lights) remains dimly lit continuously.
1 Answer Hello Jim. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the electronic control WP8558753 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Al M. November 05, 2011 for Model Number Whirlpool Dryer GEW9250PW0 After a power outage at home the dryer stop working. The light bulb inside the dryer turns on when the door opens but if the start button is pressed nothing happens. There was a problem with the electricity in my neighborhood and the electric company tech told us that the problem was caused but the loss of ground on the 220 phase. Since then the dryer has gone dead. Any Ideas? Thanks
1 Answer Hi Al. There is a tech. sheet inside the unit folded in a packet. This will aid in diagnosis. If nothing is happening as you press start, and the panel lights are on, then you need to see if the relay control board is OK. It is located on the left , top side of the drum. This board is part # WP8546219. If something is burnt, then you may be able to visually identify it also. Thank You. Read More...
Tim September 14, 2011 for Model Number GEW9250PLO The control panel has been working intermitently for months where it will not come on. Now the led's will barely light up when you hold the control on button and nothing else.
1 Answer Hi Tim. You will need to purchase the electronic control behind the user interface / keyboard assy. This part # is WP8558753. Thank you. Read More...
Glen September 02, 2011 for Model Number gew9250pw0 On the control panel the most automatic cycles show -- in the display but on two the manual cycle light will come on when switched to an automatic position (automatic normal position lights manual quick dry, automatic heavy duty lights manual touch up, all other automatic positions display --) and the manual time is displayed in the display (not --). Sometimes after shutting off power or canceling cycles several times the dryer works normally (automatic cycles now work). I removed both the control panel and control board cleaned and replaced and the cycles worked fine for about 6 loads, but the problem returned. My question – which board should I replace (control panel or control board) and if it is the control panel then which board (mine has some white buttons) of the three offered? THANK YOU!
1 Answer Hello Glen. Based on the information you provided, you will need to replace the electronic control WP8558753. This is the correct control board for the model you provided. Hope this helps. Read More...
Mike May 14, 2011 for Model Number GEW9250PW0 Theirs power to dryer, but control wont light up, nor will start light inside dryer comes on when door is opened.
1 Answer Hello Mike. You will need to test at the terminal block 279320, and make sure you have 240 volts and the terminal block is not burnt. If it is burnt, or if there is only 120 volts, it can cause the problems your having. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.
