Ricard R April 05, 2018 for Model Number Sears, 11076912692 Dryer doesn't turn on after running for a while. It starts and runs and dries, then stops. Won't restart until after it cools down for 1/2 hr or so. Have recently taken off the bottom front panel and vacuumed the collected dust. It ran ok. When this problem starts the interior light comes on when the door is opened. The light will go out when I manually press the door interlock switch. Is there some sort of an overtemp switch in the circuit. Where would that switch be. What is the switch measuring.
1 Answer Ricard, It sounds likely that the motor on the unit is overheating in which you will want to check the rollers and idler pulley to make sure that they are not seizing up which would cause this but also the lint build up could have caused it as well. Read More...
Anthony April 03, 2018 for Model Number 11060901990 Hi. The dryer runs fine for 1 load then next load I press the start button and the timer makes a clicking noise and it does not turn on, after 30 min I press the start button and it starts. Then It repeats same issue after 1 load. I opened the exhaust cover and cleaned it. Im thinking it’s the thermal fuse.
1 Answer Hello Anthony. Based on the information you provided, the motor 279787 is bad and will need to be replaced. It is over heating in the unit. Thank you. Read More...
Tethion January 15, 2018 for Model Number MEDB0YW0 Maytag Bravos XL dryer runs and tumble fine, no heat, continuity check heating element(10.2 OHMS). Thermal cutoff Switch (O L reading on meter). High limit Thermostat(.1, .2 OHM) Thermal fuse(.2 OHM) Thermistor (O L Reading).
1 Answer Tethion, The thermistor you would have to do a resistance reading on. The thermal cutoff showing OL would indicate that this is bad and would need replaced. Read More...
Rod L. December 29, 2017 for Model Number WED9200SQ0 Is this the correct thermal fuse for my model? My dryer will power up but will not start the cycle.
Eric September 16, 2017 for Model Number MEDB200VQ0 Overheating and did not cool down even when it wasn't running.
1 Answer Eric, You will want to check the wiring of the unit to make sure there is no damaged or shorted wires and if this checks ok will most likely be a faulty control board. Read More...
Neil June 23, 2017 Timer gets stuck at 30 minutes in auto mode. Dryer heats normal but timer doesn't advance from 30 minutes. Manual mode is okay. Already replaced coil kit and thermistor part number WP8577274 with no fix.
1 Answer Hello Neil, While this is normally caused by a ducting issue, we will need to ask you to post a new question including the model number from your units' I.D. tag so we can look up the wiring configuration and also recommend parts that can be guaranteed to work properly on your unit. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...

Carol September 21, 2016 for Model Number 11062932100 When I push the start button, the dryer will not stay on. Do you think it is the button itself or something else making it do this?
1 Answer Carol, If you push the start button and it starts but stops when the start button is released then this will be a issue with the motor centrifugal switch and the motor would need to be replaced. Read More...
Mitzi September 05, 2015 for Model Number GGW9200LW0 Dryer runs, flame turns on and starts to heat, then the flame turns off and stops heating but continues to run thru the cycle. Don't know if its the thermal fuse or the High Limit Thermostat or something different.
1 Answer Hello Mitzi, This will either be a coil 279834 or the gas valve WP8318281 has failed. Note that if the valve is the issue, the replacement valve comes ready for natural gas. If you have LP, it will need to be converted using the internal parts under the brass nut. Read More...
1 Answer Jose, No you would not be able to use the thermal fuse WP3390719 in place of thermal fuse part number WP3392519. The reason is the way they are mounted and also have a different blow rate. Read More...
