Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Dryer Thermal Cut-Off Kit (Part Number: OEM9282681)

Mboomtown for Model Number 110.96591240

I cant get the dryer to come on. The light comes on when I close the door. All the fuses check good for continuity. The push to start button checks good when I push it. I was told it had a bad fuse. I find two on the heating ele. and two on the exhaust duct. I cant find the diag. of unit. is there another fuse I'm missing. Also their is a ceramic device on the heating ele. with a wire connecting the two terminals but its not connected to anything else. Just connected to itself. Strange.

Hello Wldncrzymom. From what your describing, it sounds like the motor 279827 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps.

Tim for Model Number GEQ8811LW0

I have two thermostats one is part number 8318268 (Number 42 on the bulk head diagrahm.) It has two large terminals that when I put the ohme meter on it reads 0. The two small terminals in the middle will not give a reading at all. The other thermostate is the thermal cut-off fuse to 360 degrees one of the two fuses on the diagram number 47 with the part number 3977394 It also gives no reading at all. Does this mean it is bad or do I need to set the Ohme meter to a different setting. The meter that I am using is a CEN-TECH digital multimeter.

Hello Tim. You will need to replace the thermal cut-off kit. Check your vent and make sure it is clear from clogs and kinks. Hope this helps.

Hello David. Check and see if the heater is grounded out. Remove it and inspect it for the coils touching the metal housing. Hope this helps.

Hello David. It sounds like the cycling thermostat WP3387134 may be bad. This causes the heat to turn off and on at certian temperatures. Hope this helps.
