Carrie June 12, 2013 for Model Number wed6600wv0 AF code was correct. there was a clog halfway up and halfway down that I finally got to. Dryer ran fine with no code for a week now but stopped mid cycle with no motor noise. Full power but motor wont turn on. thermal fuse on the motor you think? thank you
1 Answer Carrie, The first thing to check would be the thermal fuse. Check for continuity on the thermal fuse and if there is no continuity then replace the thermal fuse. If the thermal fuse has continuity then you will want to test at the control to make sure that it is sending power to the motor. If not then replace control and if it is then you will need to check the door switch. Read More...

Laurie June 10, 2013 for Model Number WED6 400Swd Whirlpool cabrio dryer My dryer does not heat. We have replaced the element the high temperature thermostat and the thermo fuse. It still will not heat up. Should we try replacing the thermistor? Also I noticed that the cancel button on the panel does not work now so not sure if that would cause any grief to the problem. We are very perplexed as to why it won't heat. We also checked for lint blockage and all is clear. Oh and we also replaced the moisture sensor too. Please help
1 Answer Hello Laurie. Make sure there is 240 volts to the unit. If so, then you test for power coming from the relay board WPW10111616 to the heater. If there was none, you need to replace the board in the unit. 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...
Carrie June 02, 2013 for Model Number wed6600wv0 AF flashes when drying. checked lint filter, cleaned sheetmetal housing, blower wheel, and wall vent for clogs. dryer hot, clothes wet. sometimes "sensing" stays on for awhile. F29 code once in diagnostic, then F25 most recently but signs still pointing to air flow problems. at a loss before starting with each sensor replacement. your help is of great value and is much appreciated. thank you in advance.
1 Answer DIAGNOSTIC: Displaying Inlet Air Flow Used to display the air flow value at the inlet of the heater box being measured by the machine control. After all saved fault codes have been displayed, press the Wrinkle Shield button to activate air flow detection. A 30 or 50 second countdown timer will start and the dryer will turn on. ? If the dryer is cold, the countdown will start at 50 seconds. NOTE: If the dryer is extremely cold (less than 40°F [4.4°C]) the air flow may not be detected properly, and “--” will be displayed. ? If the dryer is hot, the countdown timer will start at 30 seconds (cool down period) followed by an additional 50 second countdown. A Dryness modifier LED will also be illuminated to indicate the air flow range corresponding to the number displayed. ¦ The More LED will be illuminated for air flow readings above 40 cfm. ¦ The Normal LED will be illuminated for air flow readings between 29 and 40 cfm. ¦ The Less LED will be illuminated for air flow readings less than 29 cfm. ? If air flow value is low, check to make sure the lint screen is clean, the door seal is in place and the vent is not obstructed. Read More...
Lonnie June 01, 2013 for Model Number gew9200lw1 whirlpool dryer Dryer does not heat. I replaced the heating element and it still does not heat.
1 Answer Lonnie, You will want to do a continuity test on the thermal fuse 279973 and the high limit thermostat to make sure that they have continuity. If they do not have continuity replace whichever part does not have continuity. 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...

Adam May 07, 2013 for Model Number WED9400SW1 Whirlpool Duet Electric Dryer The dryer starts and runs for a few minutes, then the drum light comes on and the dryer stops running. A diagnostic test gives the code P3E when the light drum light comes on and the door is shut. Pushing in the door switch a couple times makes the light go out, and 888 appears on the screen. Is this just a faulty door switch, or could there be another problem?
1 Answer Hello Adam. Based on the information you provided, the door switch is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Jeff March 31, 2013 for Model Number WED7300XW0 The dryer blinks AF and has a clicking noise then if you push the pause button then start again it sometimes works. The dryer gets hot but does not blow the hot air out of the vent. I have checked the vents and they are clear but when I put my hand against the back of the dryer I dont feel any air coming out when its running., ALso the timer sometimes doesnt go down or will go from 30 mins to 45 mins.
1 Answer Hello Jeff. The pulley WP8544739 for the blower wheel may be off. Unplug dryer or disconnect the power. Remove front panel and lint chute. Remove the blower pulley completely from the bearing shaft (if not already disengaged). Apply a coating of medium strength thread lock WP4210460 to the entire length of threads on the blower shaft. Use a crescent wrench or 1 1/8” open end wrench on the pulley nut and a ½ square drive ratchet to hold the blower wheel and tighten. Note: If a torque wrench is available, the torque specification is 120 in. lbs. or 10 ft. lbs. Install belt and check. Note: The belt should not touch the tab on the blower housing. Install all panels and screws. Plug in dryer or connect power. Operate the dryer and check operation. Read More...
Dean March 10, 2013 for Model Number 11067632600 i have replaced the motor ;push to start switch buzzer switch thedryer just makes huming noise ican reach inside spin the drum and the dryer takes off and runs what would keep the dryer from running
1 Answer Dean, Are you sure you have 220 VAC at the outlet, and at the terminal block on the back of the dryer. Check and make sure all the terminals and connections on the terminal block are good and tight. If you're sure you have everything installed and wired correctly, you'll need to by pass the door switch and check for 120 VAC across the blue and white wires at the motor switch when the start button is activated. You may have a faulty contact in the timer, or loose connection causing low voltage to the motor. Read More...
