Julie December 05, 2023 for Model Number MGDE300VW0 Sorry for repeat question entered question before I finished. Dryer takes longer to dry cloths. No error code is produced. Took off lower panel and dryer heater assembly appears to be functioning properly. Measured temperatures at the exhaust outlet and got the following: Low 107 (F), Med 112 (F), High 118 (F). The table show shut off temp higher (125,140,155). Ran dryer empty on high setting for 15 minutes and it never reached the design cut off temp of 155 so the the heater never turned off.
1 Answer Julie, the exhaust thermistor WP8577274 would need to be tested for resistance and it should measure between 8.5 to 10.5 K Ohms at around 80°F. If the exhaust thermistor tests good, the wire harness would need to be inspected for any broke or loose sections. If the main harness W10111011 checks ok, the most likely failure would be the main control WPW10174745. Read More...
Jim November 01, 2021 for Model Number WGD9200SQ1 Clothes are no where near dry at end of cycle and is taking about 3 cycles for a complete dry. All filters and exhaust duct cleaned. Burner turns on and off as expected throughout cycle. What part should I consider changing?
1 Answer Jim, as the burner is cycling on and off, the blower wheel WP697772 would need to be inspected to ensure that it is not partially clogged or broken. If that is good and the drum rotates properly, the venting running from the interior wall to the outside of the house would need to be cleared as it would likely be an air flow issue. Read More...
Richard September 18, 2021 for Model Number LG9801XPM1 Igniter glows and either shuts off after a few seconds or very intermittently stays on long enough to ignite gas to get flame. Flame runs for approx.10-30 minutes and then shuts off and no heat until you try the whole process again.
1 Answer Richard, Thanks for the question!!! The most likely failure for what you have described is the ignitor. Your model uses part number 279311. If you need help with further troubleshooting check out our YouTube video for Gas Dryers with No Heat here: https://youtu.be/zskjinuElvA Read More...
Bill November 09, 2020 for Model Number 110.97094500 70945 No Heat... Replaced the Thermistor (WP338906 (AP6008294). Got heat immediately for several loads. Now, no heat. Tried all cycles and still no heat. I also ordered and received the Flame Sensor (WP8577274 (AP6013514), but have not yet installed it. Could the Flame Sensor now be the problem, even when I got good heat for a short time with the new Thermistor?
1 Answer Hello Bill, the flame sensor is basically a switch, it should have continuity between the terminals measured with a multimeter. If it is open there will be no power to the ignitor. Read More...
Bab August 08, 2020 for Model Number 11077732794 I replaced the thermal fuse and thermostat, turned on dryer and it worked nice and hot, saw flame... put back of dryer back on started again and No heat no heat, took back off removed thermostat and put back on, and heat again worked for a load and then stopped heating again what part do you think I I need
1 Answer Hello Bab, check the wiring terminal connections on all the thermostats and burner parts, that they are snug, it sounds as if one or more are loose. Read More...
Tammy August 08, 2020 for Model Number 11087692110 The igniter glows but no flame is established. Gas valves are open. Coils are recently replaced and meter fine. All thermostats/fuses meter fine. Flame sensor meters with continuity. Sensor switch never opens to allow electricity flow to coils. Should I suspect the switch is faulty? Worked well when replaced, then worked intermittently, then didn’t work. Flame sensor glass is clean.
1 Answer Tammy, as the flame sensor would only open once the ignitor reaches a specific temperature, it would be likely that the ignitor 279311 is not able to reach the temperature necessary. Read More...
Spatialman June 03, 2020 for Model Number wgd8200yw2 Dryer check vent light comes on every use. Dryer never gets hot. Maybe warm sometimes. Cleaned out all external venting as well as taking part dryer and cleaning inside. Found decent amount of lint at the bottom. Put back together and same issue. Took off vent from back of dryer and ran without and had lots of air blowing out and exact same issue. Looked at the burner and noticed its flame starts then turns off after about 10 seconds. Then keeps cycling and turning off. Seems to be either the valve or flame sensor. Any thoughts? And how would this be related to the check vent light? Air flow is really strong coming out. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Spatialman, the dryer burner can not be checked for proper operation if the front panel is removed, as it disrupts the burner airflow. With the burner erratically cycling with the front panel installed, that can be caused by a weak flame sensor WP338906 or gas valve coils WPW10368268. Read More...
Thezackkl May 08, 2020 for Model Number WGD5550SQ0 My Whirlpool gas dryer WGD5550SQ0, the drum rotates, the blower blows, and the igniter glows. The dryer makes and ehhhhhh noise intermittently but never heats up. I replaced the main fuse and the ignitor but still no heat. Any ideas?
1 Answer Thezackkl For this issue, you will want to check the flame sensor for continuity. If there is no continuity then this will be a faulty flame sensor. If the sensor checks ok then this will most likely be faulty gas coils. Read More...
Jean February 10, 2020 for Model Number MAYTAG LSG7800AAW Drum is turning and air is exhausting. Flame not coming on. Radiant sensor, out of circuit, test open. Igniter, out of circuit, test 174 O. Ignitor, in circuit and power on, voltage across ignitor measures 28 VAC. I suspect radiant sensor is bad. ???
1 Answer Jean, at room temperature the radiant sensor WP338906 should test as a closed circuit. As it is reading as an open circuit, the radiant sensor has certainly failed and can cause the current issue. Read More...
Ty February 03, 2020 for Model Number MDG5500AWW Dryer ignites heats up for a bit then the gas valve clicks off and dryer continues to run but without heat. I replaced the gas valve solenoids
