Steve L February 21, 2017 for Model Number WED6200SW0 When I push the power button the front panel lights up like it should but when I push the start button nothing happens. It doesn't make any noise at all, not a hum, grunt, squeal, or buzz. I thought this model had a self diagnostic that should show up, but no codes appear anywhere. I have already checked the belt, thermal fuse, and if the light inside the dryer works wouldn't that tell me the door switch is working correctly?
1 Answer Steve, With the unit not running would be a faulty main control board and would be part number WPW10111617. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Steve. You will need to test the door switch, thermal fuse, and check for a broke belt on the unit. Any of the 3 will prevent it from starting. 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...
Jose L. Soto July 07, 2016 for Model Number WED6400SB1 I replaced my Whirlpool Cabrio dryer heating element, pulley wheel, and the Motor. All the noise stopped, the dryer heating element is working great and the drum spins freely but I notice the clothes were not drying. I turned the light in the drum on and noticed the drum turning but the wet clothes are not tumbling in the dryer. I'm stuck! Thank you for your time. Joe
1 Answer Hello Jose. It sounds like the baffles 8565688 inside the drum are broken and are missing. They cause the clothes to tumble when the drum is turning. Read More...
Sue October 08, 2015 for Model Number WED6400SW1 I have a Whirlpool Cabrio Dryer that has stopped running. You can turn it on and it the light comes on that says it is wet clothes and s sensing. The dryer does nothing else. I opened it up and the belts are not broken on the drum. The last time it ran there was a burning smell inside the dryer and the timer had 4 minutes left. Is this the motor that has went out? Thank you.
1 Answer Sue, You will want to check the thermal fuse on the blower housing to make sure that it has continuity. If there is no continuity then the issue will be the thermal fuse which would need to be replaced. Read More...
A July 17, 2014 for Model Number Rstrnr-Blt I just replace my belt and notice this plastic next to the motor pulley was missing. What problems would it cause if I left it out?
Grant June 29, 2014 for Model Number WED6400SW1 My dryer WED6400SW1 runs for a few seconds and then the drum and motor stop. I also smell something burning. I think is the MOTOR I attempted to run a diagnostic test but I don't understand what stand-by mode is. but I'm not a repair man so can you please give me you professional opinion.
1 Answer Grant, Based on the description of the problem it sounds like the motor would be the issue. When the unit starts it will start on the start winding and once it gets going will switch to the run winding. It sounds like the unit is not changing to the run winding and this would be caused by a bad motor. Read More...
Beth May 07, 2014 for Model Number WGD6200SW2 Within the motor of my Cabrio Gas Dryer, a small spring (3/4") has come off for some reason. It appears to be one of two small springs within the motor. Can you help me with this?
1 Answer Hello Beth, This sounds like one of the centrifugal switch springs has come out. The only way I know of that this can happen is if the clip on one end of the spring has broken off. If this is the case, the only way to correct it is to replace the motor assembly WPW10463866. Read More...
Deidra H September 08, 2013 for Model Number Wed6600wlo My dryer squealed a couple of times not for long maybe a minute or two then it stopped. Today the drum stopped turning, took it apart and the belt is fine. Do I need a new motor? If I do is there anything else I have to buy with it?
1 Answer Deidra, If you disconnect the belt from the motor and turn the unit on, see if the motor runs. If the motor does not run then most likely you would need a new motor but if the motor does run then it may be bad rollers on the unit that have seized up and not allow the drum to turn. Read More...
Charles R August 26, 2012 for Model Number WED6400SW1 Can you please advise how to install the new motor as it does not appear that instructions are included?
