Axl November 05, 2013 for Model Number ymed9600sq0 My dryer is running super hot. The clothes almost can't be touched when the dryer is stopped. I've already replaced the thermal fuse, thermister and thermal cutoff. No change. Any help is appreciated.
1 Answer Hello Axl. Check the vent and the blower wheel and make sure they are working good. Also, make sure the heater is not grounded out. If all is good, replace the board WP8546219 in the unit. Read More...
Bill October 25, 2013 for Model Number GEW9200LW0 The dryer turns on and tumbles fine. It will not heat up. I have checked the element and it is ok. I checked continuity in the two thermal cuts that are in line with the element and one is open the other closed. Should they both be closed?

1 Answer Victor, You will need to check the circuit breaker by checking the water heater with an clamp on meter and see what the amp draw of the water heater is and if it matches up to the circuit breaker. If the amp draw is lower than the breaker and the breaker is tripping then the breaker is bad and would need to be replaced. Read More...

Aj May 27, 2013 for Model Number MEDB850W0 I have the Maytag Brovos MCT 7.3 steam dryer. I have to run the dryer several times to get it to dry my clothes. When I open the dryer there is steam and a little bit of water on the drum and door. I removed the vent to to see if there is a difference and was unsuccessful. Do I need to replace the thermostat? If possible please let me know what the part number is so I can order it from this site. Thank You
1 Answer AJ, You will want to check to make sure that the blower wheel does not have lint clogged up on it which would cause restricted flow. If this checks ok then you want to check to make sure that the water valve is not seeping allowing water to come into the unit when it is not calling for water. If all this checks ok then the control board would be the problem. Read More...
Mark D. April 17, 2013 for Model Number GEW9200LW0 Got home today and my dryer and vent were hot. Dryer hasnt been ran in over 24 hours. What would cause that?
1 Answer Hello Mark. You need to check and see if the heater element is touching metal and is grounded and staying on in the unit. If so, it will cause the issues you are having with the unit. Read More...
Aaron A March 18, 2013 for Model Number WED9050XW0 I bought a number of items including the thermo-fuse thermsistor, and something else (from appliancepartspro) to fix my problems but not seem to work. My problem is the dry will turn on fine starts to warm up about 2 mintues later the circuit breaker pops, but the dry is still going with no heat. As soon as I open the door all power to the machine cuts off. I tried to run the self test after asking for help online, but could not get it to work. any help would be greatly appericiated. I was thinking of buying the High thermal-cut off, but I am tired of spending money at this thing. the hearter element looks to be in good condition.
1 Answer Aaron, You may need to remove the heater assembly and check for "arc" marks on the plate and inside the housing. The element could get hot(like it should) and may droop and touch the mounting plate, causing a short to ground and the breaker will trip and the dryer won't heat. Purchaing a multi meter TJMA-DM1 can and usually save you a lot of frustration, time and money in the long run, and is a pretty good investment.There is a slight possibility that the hi limit thermostat is shorting to ground, or a wire in the heater circuit has melted or may be "pinched" and shorts to the chassis after a length of time, You'll need some sort of a meter to check for this type of issue.

Orrie W January 21, 2013 for Model Number wed9200sq0 My whirlpool duet dryer turns on starts up. The drum will turn for about 7 seconds. Then stops turning. The dryer stays on and the heating element heats up. Then like a minute later the drum will turn again for like 7 seconds then stops once more. The dryer never shuts off the drum never spins again. The problems with the dryer started when the idler pulley went bad and it squeaked for awhile then this happened. I replaced the idler pulley/bracked and wheels. But not sure what this is.
1 Answer Hello Orrie, You will want to check your belt to make sure that the belt is routed properly and not twisted. Also check to make sure that the felt seal is not in a bind causing excessive drag on the tumbler. Read More...
Mary January 20, 2013 for Model Number GEW9250POW I have replaced thermal cut off and thersmostat on my dryer because it wasnt heating. It worked fine for 1 day then lights and beeps worked right but drum would not turn I checked thermal fuse like advised. It checked ok, still will not turn did diagnose test 88 and all lights come on and ideas what to try next.
1 Answer Hello Mary, You will want to check the exhaust thermal fuse to make sure that it is not bad. If it does not have continuity then it is bad. If it is bad then you will want to make sure that your venting is not clogged. Clogged venting will cause duct thermal fuse to fail. If thermal fuse checks ok then you will want to check continuity of the door switch with the door closed you should have continuity. Read More...
Mary January 19, 2013 for Model Number GEW9250PWO My Whirlpool Duet Dryer Wasnt Heating I Replaced Thermalcut Off And Thermostat It Worked Great For 1 Day Now It Will Turn On At Controls But The Drum Will Not Turn At All Any Ideas? Thanks For Any Help
1 Answer Hello Mary. Test the thermal fuse and make sure it is good. If it is bad, you need to replace the fuse and look for a venting issue within the unit.You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
