Larry87 August 24, 2012 for Model Number TEDS840JQ2 How does the dryer regulate the temperature at the different temp settings?
1 Answer Larry, When you make a medium or low heat selection, 120 VAC is applied to the bias heater inside the thermostat WP3387134 through the temperature switch, the heater causes the internl contacts to cycle quicker causing less heat. When the regular or high temperature is selected the switch bypasses the bias heater, and the internal contacts cycle slower, causing a higher temperature. Read More...
Trouble May 26, 2012 for Model Number Roper When the washing machine comes to the spin cycle to release water from the tub, it will not do anything. It does move during the wash cycle. What part is needed?
1 Answer Hello Trouble, This sounds like you either have a bad drain pump, the drain pump is locked with debris, or the gear case has experienced a failure. It could have a broken part in the brake assembly that is causing the brake to remain locked. The drive block spanner nut could be loose allowing the tub to spin on the transmission shaft instead of being driven by the transmission shaft. As far as part numbers go, I need a model number to look parts up with. Read More...
David February 01, 2012 for Model Number LGR7646JQ1 Motor runs but no heat. There is no voltage to the ignitor. I tested the contacts on the timer and the correct ones are closed. I took an ohm reading of the heat switch (cycle) and it was open. According to the wiring diagram there should be a resistance in the line. Would this keep the heat off altogether. According to the diagram the ignitor gets its power through the red contact of the timer then through the t'stats and thermal fuse. Need help with this one. Thanks.
1 Answer Hello David. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the cycle switch WP3399639 is bad if it was open. Hope this helps. Read More...
Mr.Moore January 05, 2012 for Model Number med5620tq0 My dryer doesnt work now. I think the problem may be my dryer door switch. Can you tell me what this part is and how to replace it.
1 Answer Hi Mr. Moore. You can try to access the door switch and then jump the wires together to verify the diagnosis. This is only momentarily as the unit wil continously run. Door switch part # WP3406107. Thank You. Read More...
James January 03, 2012 for Model Number LGR8648PW1 Flames for 9 seconds and flames again after 50 seconds. Cleaned vent clothes warm, but not dry.
1 Answer Hello James. Remove the hose from the back of the dryer and make sure the air duct inside the dryer, including the blower wheel are clean on the unit. If not, it will cause the problem you are having. Hope this helps. Read More...
Fred N December 19, 2011 for Model Number Maytag----3 years old Dryer starts-runs for 2-3 minutes then guits. Can be restarted immediatly, but repeats start-quit cycle.
1 Answer Fred, The cycle switch is the least likely issue, at this point. A model number wouild've been a big help. Check and make sure the door switch and loading door are closing, and activating properly. Make sure you have to proper power supply to dryer, and the doesn't drop more than 10% when the dryer starts. We can be more precise and informaive, once e get a model number to work with. Thanks Read More...
Chris December 10, 2011 for Model Number WED5550SQ0 The dryer doesn't seem to dry well at the highest temperature setting. It drys well at the medium setting but this takes longer for towels and jeans. How can I test the cycle switch? Would a problem with the resistor on the switch explain the cycle problem. ?
1 Answer Hi Chris. You first need to clear the entire vent system so the moisture gets removed from the clothes. Make sure the vent cap / hood is working correctly open and closed. The cycling thermostat is mounted on the blower hsg. It controls the cycling on / off of the heat. It should read 0-ohm, closed circuit. If not it is part #WP3387134. Thank You. Read More...
John December 08, 2011 for Model Number 110-77542600 When a cycle is finished timer just goes onto the next area on the dial?
1 Answer Hello John. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the timer WP3976577 is bad and will need to be replaced. The timer should stop turning on the off contact, but if it is bad and sticks, it will continue to run. You will need to replace the timer. Hope this helps. Read More...
Packo October 19, 2011 for Model Number keye678balo how do i test my control board, not sure why my timer does not advance on automatic cycle, it does on the timed dry. clothes take little too long to dry, i also found out the humedity sensor is bad. thanx
1 Answer Packo, Once you get the sensor replaced, you'll most likely be fine, as long as you check and clear the dryer exhaust vent system. Your poor heat/ too long to dry description is a "classic" exhaust vent issue. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
