Mike December 01, 2020 for Model Number WED9500TC1 No power. Can a bad thermal fuse cause no power to dryer control. Unplugged dryer because of burnt wire smell. CCU board was replaced about a month ago. What could cause burnt wire smell from the rear of dryer?
1 Answer Hello Mike, The thermal fuse will prevent the dryer from starting but will not prevent power from getting to the display/control. You will need to open the unit to locate the origin of the burning odor. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Rick August 11, 2020 for Model Number Whirlpool Duet Model WGD8500SRO Dryer runs for a few minutes then quits,all displays are gone, then after a few minutes P F will show on the display and the machine will start again, it takes about 8 or 9 times of duing this that it will finally keep running. I replaced the main control board(WPD10111606) and this did not help
1 Answer Rick, there is a possibility that a thermal fuse is tripping and resetting. I would also check my vents to be sure they are clean and clear. If that all checks out I would check all wiring for loose, damaged, and broken connections. Read More...

1 Answer Juan, Open your door again and make sure you didn't break the black tip of the door switch WP3406105. This is the part number if that part needs to be replaced. Read More...
Amanda S. July 18, 2020 for Model Number LER7646EQ2 Can this part fix my dryer that is not giving off enough heat?
1 Answer Amanda, The thermal fuse will not cause the unit to not give enough heat. It will cause the unit to not heat at all. If the unit is not drying quickly enough then check your venting. Read More...
Sam N. July 18, 2020 for Model Number GEW9250PW0 If my dryer won’t tumble or takes too long to tumble dry, would this part help fix it?
1 Answer Sam, If the unit takes to long to heat then you will want to check to make sure that the venting is clean. The thermal fuse will not cause the unit to not tumble in which case you will want to check to see if the motor is getting 120 vac to it. If it is but will not run then the motor would be the issue.

Carter O. July 18, 2020 for Model Number GEW9200LW1 My dryer is overheating and shuts off mid cycle, can I fix it with this thermal fuse?
1 Answer Carter, The thermal fuse will not cause the unit to shut down mid-cycle and then be able to be restarted later. Look for something that would cause drag on the motor and for it to overheat. Read More...
Pat June 16, 2020 for Model Number MED9700SB0 I pushed the button to start the dryer and it didn't start. All the lights had come on on the control panel and light inside dryer came on. Only thing it didn't do was the barrel didn't turn. No sound.
1 Answer Pat, Based on the information provided the issue could be a thermal fuse or a belt switch. I would start by checking the thermal fuse and if it is bad, replace it and also check the vent system for proper airflow. Lack of airflow will cause the thermal fuse trip. If the thermal fuse is good then check the belt and belt switch next. WP3392519 661570V 279782 Read More...
