Steven March 14, 2019 for Model Number WGD5700XW1 I Have a whirlpool cabrio WGD5700 gas dryer.it no longer drys clothes like it did on heavy duty it takes multiple cycles to finish.Ive replaced the coil pack to no avail.there are no codes and the vent system is completely clean. it's as if the flame is going out during the cycle.What am I missing?
1 Answer Steven, There should be a peep hole in the lower left side of the front panel. Pop the cover off and turn the dryer on. If the flame is going out in a very short period then this would be a faulty valve with the coils having already been replaced. Read More...
Kevin March 12, 2014 for Model Number WGD7600XWO Dryer is only warm. Igniter lights and flame stays on 5 seconds. Blower wheel is spinning. No blockage in exhaust duct.
1 Answer Hello Kevin, This unit will need to be put into the diagnostics to pull the fault codes. This is fully explained in the tech sheet. This is normally located inside the control panel. 1. Be sure the dryer is in standby mode (plugged in with all indicators off, or with only the Done indicator on). 2. Select any one button (except Power) and follow the steps below, using the same button (remember the button): Press/hold 2–5 seconds, Release for 2–5 seconds, Press/hold 2–5 seconds, Release for 2–5 seconds, Press/hold 2–5 seconds 3. If this test mode has been entered successfully, all indicators on the console are illuminated for 5 seconds with 88 showing in the Estimated Time Remaining two-digit display. The codes are explained in the tech sheet also. Read More...
Randy F August 15, 2012 for Model Number WGD7800XW0 Dryer will not heat. (Sort of a long story) Had service tech work on dryer. He said the thermal cutoff was bad and ordered another one. Several days later he showed up but forgot the part… Several days later they called to reschedule due to vehicle problems. We asked them to send part. Several days later we received the thermal cutoff ($0.60 postage due) After installing the part the dryer would run, burner would work but would not dry clothes. Clothes did not feel very hot. In desperation, we ordered and installed the thermistor and moisture sensor. Same problem. We called different repair tech. This guy said that the vent was partially obstructed. (It was a flex pipe). We purchased and installed a much better vent tube. Dryer now will run but the burner would not. Checked and found the thermal cutoff was open. ??? Ordered and installed new thermal cutoff. This one failed before drying one load of clothes. In absence of an actual schematic I am at a loss as why the thermal cutoff would fail at all and now so quickly. Is it heat, or high current??? Do you have a possible solution? I am tired of waiting and paying service techs that apparently are, well, not so good.
1 Answer Hello Randy. Usually this is due to a restricted vent in the unit. Remove the vent pipe and make sure the air duct assembly and the blower wheel is clean on the dryer. Then run the dryer with the vent unhooked and see if it blows the cut-off. If not, venting issue. Read More...
Rachel August 07, 2012 for Model Number WGD8300SW2 I am looking for the plastic connector that attaches to the thermal cut-off. There are 2 wires going to it, one is the jumper to the thermostat and one is a single blue wire with a plastic L-shaped connector. I am looking for the plastic L-shaped connector. Mine melted and I need to replace it along with the thermal cut-off.
1 Answer Hello Rachel! I believe the part you are looking for is the spade connector, part number TJMA02875-1. Thanks! Read More...
Philip June 09, 2011 for Model Number GWD9200SQ1 (Whirlpool Electronic Gas Dryer) How many ohms should it read at room temperature when I test the Cutoff-tml with a multi-meter?
1 Answer Hello Philip. It should read closed for continuity. If it is open, it is bad. Closed should be 0 ohms. Hope this helps. Read More...
