Daniel B. November 29, 2011 for Model Number 11063954102 Kenmore Electric Dryer - I have checked the heating element, the max tempeture thermostant,the high limit thermostat and the thermal fuse and they all have continity. I have also check the thermistor and best I can tell it looks to have about 10,000 OHM at room temperture. Could the timer be causing the dryer not to heat? The unit runs but does not heat. If not the timer what order would you suggest changeing out the thermostats and fuses?
1 Answer Hello Daniel. Yes, if the timer WP8299771 is not sending power to the element, it does not heat up. Hope this helps. Read More...
Dan B November 25, 2011 for Model Number 11063954102 (Kenmore) Electric Dryer runs but does not heat up. I have full continuity on the heater box cut off thermostat, the hi limit thermostat,the heating element and the thermal fuse. I have approximately 10,000 OHMS on the Thermistor. If I turn the unit on there is no power getteing to the heating element. I am begining to think it might be something else like the timer. Your thoughts?
1 Answer Dan, Do you have 220/240 VAC at the terminal block on the back of the dryer, with the cord plugged into the socket ? be careful, that's a live voltage test. You may want to try this, disconnect one of the wies from the element terminal, and start the dryer on a heat cycle, check the empty terminal of the element to chassis ground for 120 VAC, if the wire traces back to the thermostats, you'd have an open wire or a bad contact at the timer. Check from the wire terminal of the wire you removed to chassis ground for 120 VAC, if the wire traces back to the motor, you would have an open wire or a bad heat circuit in the motor switch.

Kirk September 15, 2011 for Model Number ggw9868kq0 Get E-1 code after 1 minute of run time with gas on or off. Just started dryer. Has been moved recently. Nnew gas lines hae been installed at new location.
1 Answer Hi Kirk. The E-1 code is always (99%) a open thermistor on top of the blower hsg. It is part # WP8577274. Rarely is it the controls. Make sure your entire vent assy. Is cleaned and check the outside vent hood also for proper operation. Thank you. Read More...
Jay September 08, 2011 for Model Number gew9200lw1 will dryer motor run if thermister is bad or meter reading on thermister is reading open
1 Answer Jay, Do you get an E1 or E2 display ? The thermister would not keep the motor from starting or running. It will flash one of the codes and "shuts" down the control board, and the unit. You should have a reading of 10,000 ohms at room temperature across the thermister terminals, with the wires off. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Robert M. September 07, 2011 for Model Number GEW9250PL1 Whe Testing the Resistence on the thermister, does it matter if it's not connected to the unit? I took it out of the dryer and then Did the resistence test. When I do the resistence test, the Multi-Meter reads 5K, Does that meat that it's bad?
1 Answer Hello Robert. It needs to be disconnected from the dryer. At 5k, it sounds like it is bad, and you will need to replace the thermister WP8577274. Hope this helps. Read More...
Robert M. September 06, 2011 for Model Number GEW9250PL1 What happens to the Dryer when the Dryer Thermister goes bad? In other words, what does the dryer do or stops doing when the Dryer Thermister goes bad? I bought my Dyer used and when I plugged it in there was no hot air. I did a Continuity test on the Thermisted and it failed so I suspect that it's bad. Plese advice, thank you. RMD
1 Answer Hello Robert. The thermister WP8577274 reads the temperature inside the dryer and cycles the element. It should not read closed for continuity, but should show resistance. It should read around 10k at room temperature. 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...
1 Answer Hello Bob. The E1 code mean you have an open thermistor, and will need to replace the thermistor WP8577274. Hope this helps. Read More...
Bob August 29, 2011 for Model Number 11097595500 I get an error message EE. What does it mean? PS: The dryer will not run eather.

Tim July 30, 2011 for Model Number GGW9200L10 Dryer will not heat up. Gas is on, and vent is clean. No lint anywhere.
1 Answer Hello Tim. You will need to test the thermal fuse W11050897 and the flame sensor WP338906 and make sure they are good. They should read closed for continuity. Also, check the igniter 279311 and make sure it is getting hot enough to light the gas. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter for the testing procedures. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
