Mariel February 04, 2016 Replaced thermal fuse and thermistor for Whirlpool Duet # GEW925OOPW1. Ten yr. old dryer now lights up, but does not turn on...beeps, timer works, but no codes for hints. Next suggestion? Is it worth getting a service call?
1 Answer Mariel, Would suggest checking power to the motor when the start button is hit. If there is power to the motor but will not turn then the issue will be a faulty motor. If there is no power getting to the motor then the issue will be the control board. Read More...
David January 31, 2016 for Model Number 11066002010 kenmore electric dryer I went to use my dryer and it wouldn't power on. No light inside the drum, no lights on the control panel, nothing at all. I checked and no circuit breaker was tripped at the house fuse panel. Would the control board for the dryer do this or could it be the thermal fuse/thermostat?
1 Answer Hello David, This could be the thermal fuse WP3392519. You will need to test it to be sure since there is no visual indicator of this parts' failure. If it is open, you will need to check the exhaust ducting in the home since a ducting restriction is the number one cause of the thermal fuse failure. Read More...
Mhgr5 January 27, 2016 for Model Number wgd9400SWO WHIRLPOOL DUET My dryer is not heating, and after checking the diagnostic mode, came up with f70 communication error. Now other than the connections, and the therm fuse, ect. Is there any other cause that may create this condition of no communication between machine control, and console electronics.
1 Answer MHGR5, The first thing to check would be the harness between the console and the machine board. If the wiring harness checks ok and all the connections are good then this would be a faulty machine control board which will need to be replaced. The control board is part number WPW10110641.

Gregory January 13, 2016 for Model Number LGQ8611LW1 Hello, Our dryer is only running in certain cycles. It seems that I have to turn it while I'm pressing the start button, and I can only get it to start in the Timed phase. Sometimes I also have to "push" the timer button firmly with the start button to get the dryer to start. It is drying the clothes fine and completing a cycle once it starts. Have had this problem for about a week. Do you think it is the thermal fuse or a timer issue or something else? The dryer is 12 years old and have had no other problems. Thank you.
1 Answer Gregory, It's not a WP3392519 Thermal fuse problem, If it were the dryer wouldn't start or run. However, it does sound like a timer WP3406725 problem. your description indicates the internal timer cam switches or the timer cam wheel is damaged and the contacts aren't opening or closing at the proper increment. Replace the timer and you'll be fine for a while longer. Thanks Read More...
Tom B December 30, 2015 for Model Number NED4600YQ0 Dryer heats up but drum does not rotate. checked the belt and seems to be fine.
1 Answer Tom, With the unit heating but no drum rotation would most likely be a stuck centrifugal switch on the motor which would require the motor to be replaced. Before replacing you will want to open the unit up and clean the unit out from lint and make sure that there is not lint clogged in the motor. If this checks ok then the motor is the most likely cause of the issue. Read More...

M.N. December 28, 2015 for Model Number GE DDE8506MBLAD My electric dryer is GE model DDE8506MBLAD. Does this model have a THERMAL FUSE? If so, where is it located? I found (what looked like) two THERMOSTATS (circular, size of quarters) below the lint filter, but could not find anything that looked like a thermal fuse. Would appreciate any help. Thank you very much.
1 Answer Hello M.N. Yes, WE4X800 is the thermal fuse. it is located on the heater housing on the unit. You will need to access the element behind the drum to replace the part. Thanks. Read More...

Sandy November 30, 2015 for Model Number LER6634BN0 I replaced my heating element about six months ago and the dryer was working fine, yesterday, it quit heating. The motor runs, but I get no heat, I am not sure if it is the element again or if it is something else this time.. The duct is clear and no clogs as I checked that last night to be sure.
1 Answer Hello Sandy. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Check and make sure the unit is not set to Air Fluff. Also check the heater and thermostats and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
