Juan November 15, 2023 for Model Number 110.73942101 The ignitor does not glow. I've checked all the parts for continuity,Thermistor, high limit Thermostat, Thermal Fuse, Ignitor, coils, and the timer. All checked out ok, any suggestions.
1 Answer Juan, it would be recommended that the igniter 279311 is tested for 120VAC after removing the front bottom panel. If there is 120VAC when the dryer is operating and the igniter is not glowing, the igniter has failed and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Josh June 06, 2023 for Model Number 11060952990 Dryer runs as long as I'm holding the start button. If I let it go, then it stops. Is it due to this relay WP3405281?
1 Answer Josh, This issue would be caused by a faulty motor. The run winding on the motor has failed and will require the motor to be replaced. Read More...
Victor November 10, 2021 for Model Number 110 92826101 Kenmore gas dryer will not ignite. Have replaced igniter, heating coils, thermistor, and a couple other small parts I can’t remember the name of.
1 Answer Victor, The first thing to check would be, is the ignitor glowing? If not, does it have power to it when the dryer is turned on to heat? Read More...
John March 10, 2021 for Model Number WMH32519CW-2 I need to replace relay part number WP3405280 (AP6008555 is replacement for the relay). From my research, it appears the relay is "welded" in the circuit board. Is that correct (something I don't think I can do) or a plug in (something I could probably do)? If it is welded in the circuit board, I'd probably be better of to either buy a new microwave or buy the circuit board. What's the cost of the circuit board? If I replace the circuit board, should I replace the fuse and the door latches at the same time? Thanks! John
1 Answer John, Thanks for the question!!! This part is plug and play, no soldering required. Only replace the fuse and switches if they are faulty. Read More...
Brian June 19, 2017 for Model Number GEW9250PW1 I have a Whirlpool electric dryer that blows hot air while on "air only" cycle. Will replacing the relay (WP3405281) on the control board help the issue or is the whole control board in need of replacement? If it is just the relay, is there 2 and are they labeled? Thanks for any information. I'd hate to buy a $230 control board if it can be resolved with a $22 relay....
1 Answer Brian, This relay would not work for the control board on this unit and you would need to get the control board itself which would be part number WP8546219. Read More...
Scott S. September 01, 2016 for Model Number 110.70992990 My Kenmore Gas Dryer is stopping after approximately 20 minutes in timed mode. If I then hold in the start button the dryer will work but once released it will go off. If I wait 10 minutes (perhaps less) it will run again. I have read different reports on your site and not sure which part. Could it be the Motor Relay? I have read also it could be the motor itself but would rather avoid doing that if it is something simple like the motor relay. Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Scott. If the motor is starting and running, then the relay should be fine. It sounds like the motor has failed and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Travis June 18, 2016 for Model Number 110.63956100 When I push the start button my drier. There is a single click from control panel . But the drier doesn't start . You can hear the timer going . If you push the start button then open the drier door . There is a lick as well . Thinking either start relay or the thermal fuse has failed . Does this sound correct ? What is the correct part number for relay?
1 Answer Travis, Based on the information, this issue would be more likely that the motor relay has failed on the unit. The relay is part number WP3405281. Read More...
Wayne April 16, 2015 for Model Number 110.63932101 I checked the heat relay switch with my multimeter. The small leads have continuity. But when I test the larger ones that are on the relay switch; there is no continuity. Should there be continuity on both the small and large leads on switch?
1 Answer Hello Wayne, Voltage must be applied to the two small leads to energize the coil in the relay so the contacts will close and show continuity. Read More...
Pete January 18, 2015 for Model Number 110.74982300 I have a kenmore gas dryer, when i start the dryer the drum turns, but the ingitner does not lite, changed the ingiter, check the thermal switch and thermiser ok but, the ingiter still will not lite..
1 Answer Pete, With the igniter not lighting you will need to determine where power is being lost. You will want to disconnect the igniter and turn the dryer on. Test the wires that you disconnected from the igniter and check for 120 vac to ground with the unit turned on. If there is 120 vac on one of the lines then there is power and the timer is sending power. This would leave either the harness being bad or the motor switch. If there is no power then the issue would most likely be either a thermostat that is faulty or a bad timer. Read More...
Rick January 15, 2014 for Model Number Kenmore Serries 90 Electric Dryer 110 My dryer shuts off after about 5 minutes on normal, works fine on low. I have done continuity and ohm check on all sensors and they check out. Last time this happened I vacuumed the motor and it worked for a year. Any thoughts?
1 Answer Hello Rick. It sounds like the motor is overheating and is shutting off on the unit. You will need to replace the motor. Read More...
