Bubba December 08, 2013 for Model Number mgdb800v9 What is the value suposed to be for the dryer cycling thermostat? Is this also known as an exhaust thermister? does this also control the cycling of the burner?
1 Answer Hello Bubba. You can test it with a multi-meter, it should read around 10,000 ohms at room temperature. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Cody December 01, 2013 for Model Number WGD9200SQ0 I have a gas dryer, which I cleaned inside and out to increase the airflow. When i set the dryer to the highest temperature, the igniter glows and the flame starts for a couple minutes and reaches 168 degrees, then shuts off. At 114 degrees the igniter starts, then at 108 degrees the gas ignites until it reaches 168 degrees. This was monitored at the rear exhaust with a simple thermometer. It continues this cycle throughout the drying process. Is this related to the thermistor? Everything appears to check out fine.
1 Answer Cody, This is the natural design of the unit as the unit has a cycling thermostat that will allow the unit to cycle off and on. Read More...
Damian A. October 31, 2013 for Model Number GGW9868KQ Hello, My question is, when I start the machine all is normal. But after a few seconds, the flame goes out. It turns the flame back on again, but for less time. After a few cycles the flame will not catch. What is affected ?
1 Answer Damian, Based on your post information, the most likely issue is a weak gas valve coil 279834. Since the gas valve ignition system cycles on and off for the first few cycles, the igniter and flames switch should be OK, The wiring inside the coils is weak and after a while the coils cannot lift the plunger and release and ignite the gas. Replace the coils and you should be fine. Read More...
Dave September 14, 2013 for Model Number WED9200SQ0 Why dose my Dryer work on air only? When heat is it works of 5 minutes and then blows the braker.
1 Answer Hello Dave. First check and see if the breaker is weak and needs to be replaced. If not, it sounds like the motor is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. It sounds like it is over heating and is causing the issue if the breaker is good. Read More...
Lane I. August 29, 2013 for Model Number kenmore elite oasis 110.67042600 My dryer only works correctly on the timed dry cycle. The auto drying never counts down to 0. I replaced the thermistor first then asked a question like this and replacing the moisture sensors inside the tub were recommended. Our dryer still hangs on countdown at random numbers and never stops running. What else could it be? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Lane, The only thing that can make the unit advance in timed dry and not advance in the auto dry cycles is the exhaust duct. If the duct is crimped or clogged, the unit will continue to sense the same moisture since it cannot get it out of the dryer and will run forever. To test the theory, dis-connect the duct from the back of the unit and you will see the timer advance within 5 minutes. Read More...
Lionel August 26, 2013 for Model Number 110.67072600 Dryer heat control is off. It heats to very hot no matter what the dryer setting. What is going on?
1 Answer Hello Lionel. Check and see if the heater is grounded and touching metal. If so, replace the heater in the unit. Read More...
Dan W August 17, 2013 for Model Number GEW9200LW1 My Whirlpool Duet Dryer panel lights up and makes a click sound when the start button is pushed and doesn't run. Any idea what this could be?
1 Answer Dan, You will want to check the thermal fuse on the blower housing for continuity. If there was no continuity then you will need to replace the thermal fuse. Read More...
James August 10, 2013 for Model Number WED7300X Dryer heats but has a lot of moisture.Code AF flashes after a few minutes of drying time.what could be the problem.
1 Answer James, AF flashes if a restricted air flow condition exists. Check to make sure the lint screen is clean, the door seal is in place, and the vent is not obstructed. Check the venting from the blower wheel all the way to the outside of the home. Read More...
Lilly July 29, 2013 for Model Number MDE9700AYW I have a code? It looks like my maytag Neptune dryer is putting out a code of t5 I push the timer button on a this code starts beeping.
1 Answer Hello Lilly. Dryer Thermistor Short Sensed. The Thermistor resistance is very low. Check for: - Clogged lint screen. - Restricted vent system. - Check Thermistor resistance. Replace thermistor. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Amanda July 05, 2013 When doing the diagnostic test on my whirlpool cabrio dryer F2 lights up...what does that mean??
1 Answer Amanda, The F2 indicates a Keypad/User interface failure. 1. You will want to access the electronic control and visually check that the P11 connector is inserted all the way into the machine motor control. 2. Visually check that the user interface assembly is properly inserted in the console assembly. 3. If both visual checks pass, replace the user interface assembly. Read More...
