James November 14, 2024 for Model Number Kenmore Dryer 110.96282100 My timer doesn't move, I replaced it, and it still doesn't move. I will try to replace the resister, but I am not sure where it is located?
1 Answer James, The resistor would be the most likely cause for this and would be located in the control panel of your dryer. Read More...
Anne October 13, 2021 for Model Number AL84201 My dryer won\t heat . I've checked all the connections - fuse , thermostat, Heating element .etc and there is positive connection on all . I've cleaned the ducts and vents which were plugged . When I removed element and put back on and started dryer it heated up then quit . The housing for lint collector was clogged . After cleaning it it will not heat up .I pulled the panel off and have connection to all sites except the resistor 3388706. The timer and push to start button was not working properly prior to this . Would re[lacing the Resistor solve my problem?
1 Answer Anne, The model number listed is not showing as being a valid model number. Please recheck your model number and resubmit your question. Read More...
1 Answer Craig, a resistor would be measured using Ohms and it should have a resistance reading as it should be a closed circuit. Read More...
Dave July 18, 2021 for Model Number 110.88762793 Washer works fine, but the dryer doesn't heat at all to dry clothes. Drum spins, and the blower is operating. 240VAC present at the terminal block. Heating element measures 11 ohms with a DVM. There's 120VAC at the element terminal. Not sure how to test the centrifugal switch. It appears to be part of the motor. A step by step test procedure would be great so I can eliminate the motor and timer as potential problems.
1 Answer Dave, The connections on the motor for the centrifugal switch will be Pins 1 and 2. If you start the dryer motor and test from these 2 leads, there should be 120 vac going across them that would go to the heater. If there is not then the motor is faulty and would need to be replaced. If there is then then look for thermostats, heater or timer to be faulty. Read More...
John September 03, 2020 for Model Number 11096350100 My dryer timer will not advance in auto setting, also when in timed setting the timer will advance but will not turn off , the timer is new ,also the cycling thermostat has been replaced , my main question is do you have the timer resistor ohm number so I can test that
1 Answer The timer motor resistor should have a resistance reading of 4050 to 4950 ohms resistance at room temperature (+/- 10%) Read More...
John September 03, 2020 for Model Number 110-96350100 Looking for a resistance setting for the timer resistor part number 3388706 trying to figure out if it’s gone bad

Clayton August 29, 2020 for Model Number LER3624EQ1 During normal operation should the resitor be overly hot to the touch?
1 Answer Clayton, Yes the timer motor resistor can get very warm to hot during a "regular cycle. It is a "resistor" and controls the voltage to the timer motor L2 connection(anywhere between 90 and 220 VAC, depending on the cycle chosen). Read More...
Lisa February 23, 2018 for Model Number LER4634JQ0 My dryer won't heat. It isn't drying at all. What do I need to do?
1 Answer Hello Lisa, You will first need to flip the breaker off and back on in case half of the breaker has opened. On this wiring configuration, if the thermal fuse opens, the dryer will not run. The components in the heating circuit are the timer, the thermal cutoff, the operating thermostat, the hi-limit thermostat, the heating element, the centrifugal switch in the motor assembly and the associated wiring. The starting point for troubleshooting should be the terminal block. Make sure there is 240Vac from one outside terminal to the other and there are no loose connections on the terminal block. To check for a loose wall outlet, look for burned spots on the prongs of the dryer plug that insert into the wall outlet. A burned spot is cause for changing the wall outlet and the dryer cord. If there are no problems found you will then check the heating element for 7.8 to 11.8 ohms of resistance and no short to ground. Then make sure there is continuity with no resistance across the thermal cutoff, the operating thermostat, and the hi-limit thermostat. If the thermal cutoff is found to be opened, replace the thermal cutout and the hi-limit thermostat, (since a bad hi-limit thermostat can cause the thermal cutoff to open). Also, very important to ensure a Full 4-inch diameter of the exhaust duct to outside atmosphere, short and straight as possible. Any flexible or semi-flexible ducting should be replaced with rigid 4-inch aluminum dryer exhaust duct, taping the sections together since the end of screws inside the ducting will catch lint and restrict airflow and cause a repeat issue. Should none of the previous checks reveal an issue, re-assemble the unit with access to the heating element maintained and remove the wire from the heating element to the motor, making sure it cannot contact the ground, re-establish power to the unit and start it in a heated dry cycle. Check for 120Vac on the4 heater terminal that the wire is removed from. IF no voltage is present and the wiring harness is intact, replace the timer assembly. If 120Vac is there but 120Vac is not present on the wire that has been removed from the heating element, replace the motor assembly as this indicates the centrifugal switch in the motor has failed.

Kenneth February 14, 2018 for Model Number 11086671700 My dryer timer is moving but does not shut off. I bought the resistor part #279872 but it doesn't look like the old one. will it still work and how do i check the old one to tell if it is bad or not because once i install it I can't send it back. help please?
1 Answer Kenneth, You can test the resistance of the resistor but we do not have the resistance value that it should have. If this checks ok then the issue will be in the timer itself. Read More...
Daniel January 27, 2018 for Model Number GI7FVCXWB01 I have a Whirlpool Gold refrigerator (Model GI7FVCXWB01) that needs a 10 OHM resistor. I had a tech come diagnose and call Whirlpool tech service as well. They confirmed that the 10 Ohm resistor that regulates power to the freezer evaporator motor is bad. The evap motor is rated 4.5W. Will this part work or can you direct me to a 10 Ohm resistor that would work? Thanks
1 Answer Daniel, No, the 279872 resistor will not work for the evaporator fan. It's under rated, and operates on higher voltages than the control board supplies. There is no listing for an individual resistor for the evaporator fan motor in your refrigerator. To properly repair your machine, you will need to order and replace the W11334745 / WPW10276647 Motor, Evaporator Fan. It will contain the fan motor and freezer defrost wire harness, in order to receive the resistor. Read More...
