Rob June 10, 2014 for Model Number kenmore model 110.72802101 I have continuity across all thermal safety's, and operating thermostat, the ignitor and gas valve lights, machine goes cold after awhile. Do I need a new moisture sensor?
1 Answer Hello Rob. It sounds like the gas coils 279834 may be failing in the unit. If so, it will cause the issue you are having with the unit. Read More...
Robr June 09, 2014 for Model Number kenmore 100.72802101 I have continuity across all thermal safety's and operating thermostat , ignitor and gas valve operate. Flame lights and stays on awhile, then goes out clothes are not dry. Is this a moisture sensor problem.
1 Answer Robr, While the sensor would be a possible issue, you will want to check to make sure that the venting from the blower wheel to the outside of the home is clear and no obstructions as this would cause the moisture to not be able to escape. This will cause the unit to not dry properly. Read More...
Karyn May 30, 2014 for Model Number wgd530vso My dryer heats up the lent is all free its running but the clothes are still damp. It takes longer for it to dryer could it be the sensor cause that fell off.
1 Answer Hello Karyn, The only thing that could cause the clothes to not dry is if the exhaust duct is stopped up. You need to check the air output outside to make sure the ducting isn't clogged or crimped off before exiting the home. Read More...
George April 14, 2014 for Model Number lgq9558kq1 The dryer heats for a while than shouts down cools off and than restart until it gets hot and than shouts down again. What could this be and what parts do I need to buy to fix the problem? Thanks
1 Answer Hello George. It sounds like the motor is bad and will need to be replaced in the dryer. Read More...
Jp December 01, 2013 Is the Moisture Sensor (AP3094143) a part all by itself - or are there other associated parts that go with that also? I am trying to avoid buying just the sensor - and then coming back for other parts one by one. If i know what goes together with the sensor - then i might as well by them all together. I replaced the moisture control circuit board (AP3713177 - purchased from you) - now the timed dry is working (which wasn't working earlier) - but auto dry is not working (wasn't working earlier also) - which i believe could be because of the moisture sensor.
1 Answer JP, The moisture sensor is the block that the sensor bars sit in and the sensor bars themselves. There are not other parts associated with this part. Read More...
Joe Schmoe September 14, 2013 for Model Number 110.72802101 The Dryer Flame Comes On For A Minute Or Two Then Goes Out For A Minute Or Two I Have Replaced The Internal Bias Operating Thermostat & The Thermal Fuse And. I'm Not Sure Where To Go From Here. Could It Be The Moisture Sensor Or The 205F {3403140} Thermostat Causing This Problem ? Thank You ~!~
1 Answer Joe, Yes the High limit thermostat could be a cause of the issue, but you'd want to install the thermal cut off kit W11050897 per the factory recommendations. You're also going to need to check and clean the exhaust vent system and hood of any lint and debris in the system. Read More...
Doug July 17, 2013 for Model Number 11062812100 Ordered your part. tried to install. Top clip fits snug. Bottom clip does not. Plastic washer needs to be 2x thick. When I insert clip it pushes wire spade off of electrode and is still loose. Watched video from Repair Clinic and have been installing correctly. What know?
1 Answer Hello Doug. Try flexing the clip more to apply more tension when installing the part. This should tighten the fitting on the unit. Read More...
Chris June 24, 2013 for Model Number 11072802101 When I push the button to turn on my dryer it doesn't start? But at times if I shut the door very slowly it will start.

Bob W. May 30, 2013 for Model Number wirlpool ultimate LGQ9858PWO I had asked about the dryer running but not heating.. You said to check the flame sensor and the igniter. Should I also replace the coils? What resisent reading should I have when checking with the meter?
1 Answer Hello Bob. Check the coils 279834 and see if they test good. You can test the coils using a multi-meter MA-DM1. The two prong coil will read 1,000-1,300 ohms, and the three prong coil will read 1,300-1,400 ohms across prongs 1&2, and 500-600 ohms across prongs 1&3. Test the coils after running the dryer for about 10 minutes. 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...
George March 29, 2013 for Model Number LEQ508PW0 I need to know how to replace the sensor,279366. Can you provide step by step information. I'm not going to order the part until I know how to install it.
1 Answer Hello George. The model number you provided is not working. You will need to remove the back panel and unclip the retainer clips and remove the wires off the sensor bar terminals. Then remove the old sensor bars from the unit and install the new ones in revers order. Read More...
