Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Electronic Control Board (Sahara Control Se) (Part Number: OEM18045267)

Stefan for Model Number MEDB200VQ0

Is the heating element relay on the control board in the console? Dryer had stopped running power still at console, traced through to blown thermal fuse. Replaced fuse, confirmed 11k ohms on thermister at room temperature. Replaced fuse and thermister (confirmed new thermister ohms also). Dryer runs but heating element stays on constantly overheating new thermal fuse again even on air fluff. Confirmed that heating element is not broken (continuity through meter, wires disconnected element only) and not shorted to any parts of coil housing or any other ground.

Hello Vince, the error code for the model number supplied indicates an error with the machine control board WPW10111621. You'll want to check all your connections to it and if they look good, more than likely you have a defective board. Thanks!

Daniel, It would be recommended to put the unit into a diagnostic mode and see if there are any error codes stored. This can be done by accessing the tech sheet in the control panel and following instructions. You will want to check the door switch to make sure that it is good and also check the thermal fuse on the blower housing to make sure that the fuse has continuity. Either one of these 2 issues can cause the unit to not start. The light flashing would point more likely to the door switch.
