Pat August 17, 2011 for Model Number gew9878lwo Dryer will not start. I put a new electronic control panel in one of the resistors was burnt, still not working. Puch start button, you can hear it click. Check continuity seem ok 0.4. What else can it be? Thanks Pat
1 Answer Hello Pat. You will need to test the thermal fuse WP3390719 and the door switch WP3406107. If they are bad, the dryer will not start. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Karen August 01, 2011 for Model Number 11070982990 dryer is working spinning lights on but no heat.could this be an easy fix with a new thermal coupling ?
1 Answer Karen, The thermal fuse you listed, would turn power off to the motor and the dryer would not run. The model number you supplied, should be a Gas dryer. You'll need to remove the lower access panel and observe the ignition procedure. when you start the dryer on a heat cycle : the igniter should start to glow, in a few seconds the igniter should start to fade and the gas released and ignited. If the igniter does not glow, there could be a cracked/broken igniter, open radiant sensor, bad coils, if the igniter glows, fades and no ignition You most likely have a bad set of gas valve coils 279834 WP338906 279311. Thanks and Good Luck. Read More...
Ryan July 13, 2011 for Model Number 110.66902691 I just replace the motor 2 months ago. Today my wife was doing towels. Opened the the dryer door to clean the lent trap, when she closed the door not even a sound. We pressed the start button with no avail. I was wondering if it might possibly be the thermal fuse. Any other insight would be great help.
1 Answer Hi Ryan. Your door switch didn't make a ''Click" sound when you shut the door? This part # is W10820036. If your vent system is clogged, then you might need to check the thermal fuse part # is WP3390719. Thank you. Read More...
Terra July 11, 2011 for Model Number 110.63932101 All parts have continuity. The thermal fuse has very low count. What should continuity be for this part be. Dryer works but has no heat. How is the thermal fuse removed from its position so it can be replaced?
1 Answer Hello Terra. The thermal fuse WP3390719 should read closed for continuity. If it were bad, the dryer would not run. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Check and make sure the unit is not set to Air Fluff. You will need to test both wires going to the heater (isolated) and see where your loosing power at. You will trace the wire that is dead and see if it is the motor 279787 or the timer WP8299771. 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. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Pilot Jeff June 29, 2011 for Model Number Duet Moisture sensor doesn't seem to work. Dryer drys clothes but then continues to run at 22 min mark. Sensor always reads damp never starts with sensing. What should be replaced? The two sensor bars or is it a circuit board.
1 Answer Hello Pilot Jeff. Wet you finger and lay it across the bars. They should read closed for continuity. When you remove your finger, they should read open. If the bars are working correctly, you will need to check and make sure the wires are connected properly and the wires are not melted together and touching. If the wires are good, you will need to replace the control board WP8546219. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Ugo June 19, 2011 for Model Number kenmore model 110.67432600 series 400 Dryer was tripping circuit breaker on,off,on,off,several times over. Re-set the circuit breaker one last time and the dryer no longer tripped the breaker but simply stopped working. The light inside the drum does not turn on. The drum does spin freely and is not jammed. Start button does not start the dryer regardless how you set the timer. Meter shows 240v power comming from the 3 prong wall outlet, through the dryer power cord, and back to the dryer terminal block, so I know that the machine is getting power. Does this dryer have a master fuse tied to the terminal block that when it blows will cut off power to the motor, heating elements, and drum light all at the same time? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Ugo. You will need to check the heater and the wires on the machine for a direct short to ground. Also test the thermal fuse WP3392519 and make sure it is good. It should read closed for continuity. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Skeeter June 19, 2011 for Model Number 279838 My dryer works, but no heat, and I put a new heating element in it.

Mike May 08, 2011 for Model Number 11070972990 Dryer stopped before completing an automatic dry cycle. When I push the start button and hold, the dryer turns, but it does not ignite the gas burner. When I release the start button the dryer stops immediately.
1 Answer Hello Mike. If the motor stops when the start button is released, then it sounds like the switch inside the motor is bad, and the motor 279787 will need to be replaced. This will also prevent the dryer from heating. Hope this helps. Read More...
Dino April 10, 2011 for Model Number 110.66902691- kenmore electric dryer Hi, my dryer runs, but I open the door and it will not start back right away. It needs to wait for a while. When I held the start button I can hear like the timer is counting, but will not start. Then after awhile it starts when I pushed the start button. I opened the panel everything looked ok, nothing was broken or burned. What can it be? Is it the start button? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Dino. It sounds like the motor 279787 is bad in your unit, and is over heating. Hope this helps. Read More...
Bill March 30, 2011 for Model Number GGQ8811LL0 whirl. gas dryer Changed igniter (broken) still no heat could thermal fuse be problem? Checked all others on burner, seems ok
1 Answer Hello Bill. Test and see if your getting power to the igniter 279311. Also test the thermal fuses W11050897 and flame sensor WP338906. They should read closed for continuity. Check the coils 279834 and see if they test good. You can test the coils using a multi-meter MA-DM1. The two prong coil will read 1,000-1,300 ohms, and the three prong coil will read 1,300-1,400 ohms across prongs 1&2, and 500-600 ohms across prongs 1&3. Hope this helps. Read More...
