Mike B March 16, 2022 for Model Number LEQ9508PW1 My whirlpool dryer runs very hot all of the time that it is in the "accudry" cycle regardless of other settings. The heat seems to stay high even in the "cool down" and "end of cycle" modes of the cycle. Can you help me determine what would cause this? I thought it might be the cycle thermostat, but the fact that it stays on through cycle change doesn't seem to support this.
1 Answer Mike B, Based on the information provided I would start by checking the element and making sure there is not a portion shorted to case ground. Read More...
Esther January 31, 2022 for Model Number MEDB835DW3 When I start my dryer up by pushing on the start button, the "Clean Lint Screen "light comes on. If I keep working at it, it will start and sometimes when I let go of the start button, the dryer goes off also and so have to keep working at it until it finally starts up. This has been going on for about 4 months now. I clean my lint screen after each drying time. Thank you for any help.
1 Answer Hello Ester, the Start keypad on the console W11099769 is starting to fail, the Check Vent is just a reminder. Read More...
Esther January 31, 2022 for Model Number MEDB635DW3 My Maytag Dryer will not always start up when I push the start button. It comes up with "Check Lint Screen". I have cleaned my lint screen after each dryer load. Sometimes it will start if I hold it down for a while and even then it starts up for about 5 seconds and shuts off. Sometimes it will keep running but this is becoming frustrating as I think one of these days it will give out. I just checked the sensor bars and they are clean and have no lint on them. Thank you for any help.
1 Answer Esther, unfortunately, the model number provided is not showing within our available database. If the model number could be verified from the model/serial tag and provided in a new question, this may allow for more accurate information to be presented. Read More...
John August 16, 2021 for Model Number 110.64832400 When in auto-sensing cycle the dryer never stops and the clothes also get very hot. Timed mode and air dry appears to work fine. Could it be the moisture sensor or a temperature sensor?
1 Answer John, the failure would most likely be in the automatic sensor control board WPW10476828 based on the information provided. Read More...
Jeff May 25, 2021 for Model Number LE7800XSW1 Dryer has been taking twice as long to dry clothes. Vent is clear. I suspect the cycling thermostat. This dryer has the thermostat heater, therefore there aren't enough wires to connect the adjustable cycling thermostat shown for this model. Advice would be much appreciated, thanks!
1 Answer Jeff, The thermostat heater for your model has been discontinued by the manufacturer & is no longer available. No alternate or substitute part has been recommended by the manufacturer. We are sorry for any inconvenience. Read More...
Steve February 17, 2021 for Model Number Maytag Bravos XL Dryer Model MEDB725BW0 Dryer has good air flow no obstructions. Runs 5 minutes or so and shuts off with check lint screen light on.
1 Answer Steve, it is recommended that the blower wheel belt WP8544742 is inspected to ensure that it has not excessively worn and the blower wheel is not congested with lint in the blower fan blades. From there, the outlet thermistor WP8577274 on the blower housing would need to be tested for resistance and it should measure 8.5-10.5K O at room temperature. If there is a lint build-up on the thermistor, it can cause improper readings when the dryer is running. The small terminal connector on the thermostat WP8557403 of the heating element should also measure 50KO at room temperature. If these things Read More...
Joe June 01, 2020 for Model Number MGD5840TW0 Hello! The problem was had to dry twice in the more dry selection of the moisture detector cycle. Cleaned the metal strips on the part. This did not change anything. Ran dryer empty in the same setting, the heat came on and off for 15 minutes then ran another 30 minutes with the igniter glowing but no flame at least part of the time. Checked all the stat’s and fuses in the back for continuity and tested coils on the gas valve as they were within range. I hear that when the coils heat up they might not work properly even after testing ok. I was going to order new coils to try but I am wondering could it possibly be the moisture sensor? I do believe it was used in the timed setting & it took a while. The vents are clean. Thanks!
1 Answer Joe, if the ignitor 279311 was not cycling on and off (about every minute or so) when there was not a flame, this would indicate that the ignitor is failing to heat up to the temperature needed to open the flame sensor and send voltage specifically to the coils. Read More...
Thomas May 03, 2019 for Model Number MEDC300XW0 Dryer never turns off when on sensor dry, manual timer works o.k.
1 Answer Thomas, you will want to check the sensor 279366 to ensure that it does not have continuity unless a wet cloth is placed on it. If it tests good, then you may have an issue with the control WPW10476828 that is directly connected to the sensor. Read More...
Donovan January 12, 2019 for Model Number wed7500gc Dryer is working great on timed dry. Vent is venting very well. Checked for blockage everywhere including inside the dryer and through the vent tube. Teat works well. The problem is it does not stay on when using on any form of sensor load.I tried multiple load types and multiple types of clothes. 1 out of 20 loads actually ran. Other 19 loads ran only 3-10 minutes before shutting off. Please advise which part this could be. I dont want to buy and change wrong parts. Thank you much Donovan
1 Answer Donovan, inside the drum at the bottom of the door should be two metal bars that are utilized to sense moisture in your clothes. Over time they will have a residue that collects over them. When they get this residue, it prevents the clothes from forming a bridge between the two bars and not allowing a small amount of voltage to pass from one bar to the other. This causes the dryer to sense that the clothes have no moisture in them, thereby causing the dryer to "think" that the clothes are dry. It is usually easiest to clean them using a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol. Once they are cleaned, allow the unit to sit for an hour with the door open to allow the rubbing alcohol to fully evaporate. This should allow your dryer to sense moisture properly and cause it to dry clothes properly. Read More...
