Mario November 10, 2024 for Model Number 110.66912690 Hello- when I press the start button on the dryer, it simply buzzes. It does not run. Can this be their thermal fuse or something else? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Mario, thank you for contacting Appliance Parts Pros. It sounds like one of the motor [279787] windings is bad. Read More...
Byron R December 11, 2023 for Model Number WED8500BC0 whirlpool cabrio dryer Our dryer powers on, all of the functions light up but when you press the start button it flashes .
1 Answer Byron, Test the door switch and the belt switch by the motor to ensure that they are good. These would be the most common causes for this failure. Read More...
Jim April 18, 2023 for Model Number 110609329990 WHEN THE DRYER START BUTTON IS PUSHED IN, THE DRYER STARTS, BUT WHEN THE BUTTON IS RELEASED THE DRYER STOPS. IF THE BUTTON IS HELD IN, THE DRYER WILL WORK BUT THERE IS NO HEAT. ANY THOUGHTS ON THE CAUSE AND FIX? THANKS, JIM
1 Answer Jim, The push-to-start switch only closes momentarily to provide voltage to the motor for the start winding then the motor switches to the run windings and doesn't need the switch any longer to stay rotating. The motor is defective and needs to be replaced. 279787 Read More...

Dennis February 08, 2023 for Model Number MED8200VQ0 Hi. My dryer powers up, but will not start. I only hear a single click from the back when I push start. Sounds like the thermal fuse. The question is - do I access the old fuse from the front or rear? Thankis
1 Answer Dennis, The thermal fuse will not cause the clicking and this would be in the control board that the relay click would happen. Check the door switch and belt switch to ensure that they are good. If they are then either the control board or the motor would be faulty. Read More...
William December 02, 2022 for Model Number 110.72992100 I was attempting to dry my first load of cloths. Adjust my heat settings and pushed the start button the unit runs when you are pushing the start button but stop when you let off. It doesn't matter what Heat setting you select Timed or Auto sensing. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
1 Answer William, There is a switch in the motor that reroutes voltage after the start button is released that has failed. The motor would need to be replaced. 279787 Read More...
Danny October 03, 2020 for Model Number WGD7400XW0 My gas dryer start ok, heat up ok but after 5 minutes cycle 50 minutes auto adjust to 10 minutes, clothes not dry. It took 3 or 4 cycles to dry clothes. We checked vent line clear, Dryer Lint Filter clean. We changed gas vales and flame sensor still the same problem. Why the time of cycle 50mins change to 10mins after 5mins? What is the next part do we need to change?. Thank you so much for your reply.
1 Answer Hello Danny, the control board is not seeing wet clothes hitting the dry sense bars and thinks the clothes load is dry, and goes into Cool Down mode. Check the sensor bars are intact and clean them with a little alcohol on a paper towel, if still the same then check the wires attached to the sensor bars and follow them back to the control board looking for any wire problems, if they check ok then the sense circuit in the main control board may have failed..

Kenneth October 02, 2019 for Model Number 11092836100 Got an E1 code after about 20 minutes drying time on my gas dryer. Replaced thermistor and gas valve coils. Now I get an E1 code after 1 minute and shut down of the dryer. Could it be a faulty thermostat? Looking forward to your reply
1 Answer Kenneth, E1 is the thermister error code, you would need to replace the thermistor with this part number WP8577274 Also, check the wiring at the thermister and at the main control board for a poor connection. It is possible to have a thermistor that failed and is "out of range'. Read More...
Russ February 15, 2019 for Model Number WED8200YW0 Just replaced rollers and belt tensioner wheel. Vacuumed out dryer including the inside blower. Now it powers up but the motor will not start. What did I do? Was very careful while cleaning.
1 Answer Hello Russ, You should raise the top and make sure you reconnected the door switch wiring. This is a common mistake made by both do-it-yourselfers and technicians. Read More...
Ck May 15, 2018 for Model Number GGW9200LQ0 My duet gas dryer worked fine with 1st load. when I put a 2nd load, the heat didn't turn on. I tried several times but still no heat. can you let me know what is wrong? thank you. ck
1 Answer CK, You most likely have a weak , faulty gas valve coil 279834 / 279834 Dryer Gas Valve Coil Kit. The coils will weaken with time and usage, and produce intermittent heat during the dryer heat cycle. Remove the lower access panel, and start the dryer, allow the dryer to cycle for 10 or 15 minutes, Eventually you'll probably see that the igniter cycles on and off, but there is no flame from the burner. This indicates the coils have failed and are not releasing the gas for the ignition and heat process. Read More...
