1 Answer jessie still, if you can submit another question with the model number and include an e-mail address, we can help you diagnose the problem with your dryer. Read More...
Joe March 15, 2019 for Model Number 110.69812990 The heat will turn on, but the dryer will not tumble. I replaced the motor, same thing. Would the heat turn on if the thermal fuse was bad? The start button is working or heater wouldn't come on, same with door switch (I assume).
1 Answer Joe, you may want to check that the drum rotates freely by hand. If it does not rotate freely by hand, then you may have a roller [349241T] issue. If it does rotate freely, then you may want to check to ensure the belt has a good tension and that the rubber of the belt is facing the drum. If the belt does not have a good tension or the backside is on the drum, then it will not grab the drum appropriately. The heater receives 120VAC from the timer and receives another 120VAC from the centrifugal switch on the motor. With the heater coming on, that lets us know that the motor is rotating and allowing the centrifugal switch to close and send the voltage to the heater assembly. Read More...
Chuck February 01, 2019 for Model Number Whirlpool dryer My dryer just quit working. Nothing works. I cant get the drum motor or fan to power up
1 Answer Hello Chuck, you'll want to verify that the thermal fuse isn't blown. If it is, you'll want to make sure the vent is clear of any obstructions preventing the unit to properly vent. Thanks! Read More...
Amy January 05, 2019 After replacing 3392519 3977393 Thermal Fuse and 3387134 3977767 Dryer Thermostat, the dryer only worked for one small load. We have replaced the thermal fuse 3977393 in the past, so we know there is no air restriction this time. Any idea why it would happen like that? At thr end of the 1st load the clothes has alreadly cooled down. So it quit while running. Thanks hope you can help us
1 Answer Amy, go to the heating element and check to see if the element is shorted to the heater metal case. Turn power off to the dryer. Set your multimeter to continuity, touch one lead to a single connection on the element, take the other lead and touch it to the metal case, if you get a continuity reading then the element is shorted to the metal case and the element needs to be replaced.

1 Answer Mark, You will want to test the black to the red wire on your timer for continuity on any heat setting. Also, test the thermal cutout and both thermostat on your heater housing for continuity. That's all the components supplying one side of voltage and the other side of the voltage comes thru the dryer motor thru the centrifugal switch. That can be tested at motor contacts 1 and 2 for a continuity reading when the switch is closed [running]. Test the actual heater for the resistance of 7 to 11 ohms. Read More...
Hello December 02, 2018 for Model Number GEQ8858EQ0 whirl pool dryer light off and not turn on , means thermal fuse not working?? after load cloth in dryer check back after some time back light turn automatically and dryer work fine . what will be issue on light not turn on but turn light and it work fine
1 Answer Hello, This issue could be caused by the door switch WP3406107 or a faulty or loose light bulb. Door switch can be tested by a continuity test when depressing the switch. Read More...
Ernie G November 30, 2018 for Model Number LEQ9858PWO My Whirlpool dryer does not come on at all. Have checked breaker and power at plug..both ok. Checked START Button and have contact between 2 points, only when pushed. Tried to check door switch, seems to be working. (continuity check with meter)
1 Answer Ernie, You will want to check the thermal fuse on the blower housing to see if it has continuity. If there is no continuity then this will be a faulty thermal fuse and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Diane November 13, 2018 for Model Number WED9200SQ1 My Whirlpool Duet dryer comes on but will not start and the sensor light is lit. We replaced the thermal fuse and cleaned everything really good and it started working again. Dried a load of jeans and went to take them out and dryer was really hot. It blew the thermal fuse again. Should I replace the thermal fuse again and the Thermistor or just replace dryer?
1 Answer Hello Diane, The thermistor should be checked for the proper resistance but the cause of the thermal fuse opening is most likely a restriction in the exhaust ducting in the home. If the ducting that connects to the rear of the unit is restricted and the heat cannot be exhausted, it is blown past the felt seals around the dryer drum and the excessive build-up of heat in the dryer cabinet causes the thermal fuse to open. If the thermal fuse is replaced and the exhaust is not cleared, the thermal fuse will just open again due to the high heat that the thermal fuse is being exposed to. It is, after all, a THERMAL fuse. Please let us know if this does not correct the issue since missing seals inside the dryer or something like a dryer softener sheet in the blower wheel will also cause a lack of airflow, resulting in the same issue.

Melissa November 07, 2018 for Model Number WGD6600VW0 DRYER FLASHING F-01 WILL NOT START WHICH PART WILL I NEED TO FIX THE DRYER?
1 Answer Melissa, This error would indicate a primary control failure. You would want to replace the main control board which is part number WPW10111616. Read More...
Jeff October 15, 2018 for Model Number Whirlpool AP6008325 I have to replace the thermal fuse for the third time. WHIRLPOOL Dryer Thermal Fuse Part #: AP6008325 (WP3392519) It works for 8-9 months then the same symptoms. Turns on but wont spin. Checked the duct and pipe and both are clean.
1 Answer Jeff, I would recommend changing out the cycling thermostat located on the blower housing. Read More...
