Debi July 31, 2014 for Model Number MEDB400VQ0 After a power outage while dryer was running my timer will no longer light up and dryer will not start. We've run all.diagnostic tests and it shows F87 and CO. Neither listed on tech sheet. We've tried replacing both electronic control boards with no luck. We've checked the thermal fuse which was fine. Not sure what to check next.
1 Answer Hello Debi. The only thing left if all boards are new is a bad wiring harness on the unit. This is a control failure code. Read More...
Mark September 10, 2013 I have a whrilpool cabrio dryer and when I hit the start button the drum does not turn but the heating coil turns on. Could it be a bad motor (motor number 8566152) or I noticed the switch on the pulley (part number 8564012). Thanks Marcus
1 Answer Mark, You most likely have a faulty motor WPW10463866. The dryer should not heat, unless the motor rotates and turns the drum. The idler pulley switch WP8564012 would eliminate power to the motor, if the belt were broken. Without a model number and wiring diagram that's as far as we can get at this point. If you need more assistance, please include a model number of the dryer when you re post. Thanks Read More...
Cathy September 24, 2011 for Model Number MEDB800VQ0 Maytag Bravos Electric Dryer My dryer's timer ADDS time on the sensor cycles; I assume I need to replace the timer switch. Is this the right part?
1 Answer Hi Cathy. There is a thermistor on top of the blower housing assy. part # is WP8577274. This will sense the moisture in the blower exhaust and send information to the control board. Replace this part. Then clean your entire vent system. You have a blockage or a kink allowing the lint and moisture to build up internally into the dryer. This "ages" internal parts and failures occur. Clean the outside vent cap / hood also. Thank you. Read More...
