Andy October 21, 2016 for Model Number MGDE300VFO Dumb question. How do you get inside the cabinet on this model to change the thermostats on the flame housing?
1 Answer Andy, You will need to remove the main top and toe panel from the unit. You will then need to remove the control panel by Console Electronics and Housing Assembly The console panel must be removed to access the console electronics and housing assembly. 1. Perform steps 1 and 2 under Accessing & Removing the Electronics Assemblies, above, and disconnect the P2 and P5 harnesses from the machine control. Machine Control Electronics. Remove machine control electronics from mounting bracket. 2. Remove the screw that fastens the assembly to the machine control mounting bracket, and the two screws that fasten the console assembly to the machine. 3. Slide the console up and off of the machine, gently unlatching the front three plastic housing latches from the front door trim section. 4. The console mounting bracket is fastened to the console front panel with two latches at both sides of the console assembly. Unlatch the bracket gently with a screwdriver while pulling the mounting bracket assembly out. 5. The console electronics consists of two printed circuit boards, connected by two cables, mounted in a single electronics assembly. The assembly is fastened to the decorative piece by five screws. To remove this assembly, remove the knob from the front, remove the screws, and pull up on the assembly. Once the control panel and toe panel have been removed you will then remove the front panel which will give you access to the drum to take it out. Release the belt from the idler pulley and the motor pulley and remove the drum. Then you will have access to the Flame housing. Read More...

Brad June 15, 2016 Something keeps breaking my thermal fuse. Ive replaced it twice now. I've cleaned out my vents but the dryer seems to be running hot. What could cause this?
Josh June 13, 2016 for Model Number med6000xw1 My dryer keeps overheating and blowing the thermal fuse. The lint pipe is completely free there is no blockage. I have cleaned all lint from every inch of inside of dyer also.
1 Answer Josh, The thermal fuse WP3392519 on the blower housing reacts to heat in the blower housing (300 dgrs.+). This would normally be due to and exhaust air flow problem, or an overload in the drum. Check the heater element and wires to make sure there's nothing shorted to the element case or chassis. Then run the dryer with an average sized type load, with the vent disconnected from the dryer. The exhaust temperature should average 150 dgrs. and it should dry that type size load in approximately 30 to 40 minutes. You may have to estimate the total "operating" vent length and size according to the installation manual. Read More...
Donna June 10, 2016 for Model Number 110-62062102 Kenmore elite dryer shuts off with E1 code intermittently. Sometimes when dryer first turned on sometimes after multiple loads of laundry. I am thinking thermistor but can it be any other parts. I can get it to restart without a problem
1 Answer Donna, The E1 error code is a thermistor open. You will wan to test the thermistor and check all the wiring between the thermistor and the control board. Read More...
Monskeeh May 27, 2016 for Model Number whirlpool gas dryer wgd9050xw1 my gas dryer runs as normal and finishes its cycle time only to find out that there was no heat. using a digital multi tester, i found out that: 1. thermal fuse was open (no continuity), 2. exhaust thermistor #8577274 at room temperature measures19.18 ohms at 20K setting and also there is no continuity at 200 ohms setting. 3.gas valve part# W10175144 or (W10328463) reads higher from 165 ohms to 381 ohms than the normal rating on each terminal as follows: terminal 1 to 2 should be 1365 ohms but actual reading is 1709 term 1 to 3 560 but reads 750 term 4 to 5 1220 but reads 1651 ohms thermal cut off, high limit thermostat, flame sensor all have continuity at 200 ohms setting. lint venting system seem to be clear of clogs. i hope you could help me solve my dryer's NO HEAT problem. thank you in advance.

Jeff May 15, 2016 for Model Number GEW9200LL2 My dryer blew a belt so I followed your video and was back up and running pretty quick. However, once everything was up and running the heater would not work and there was no error codes listed. I located the troubleshooting guide that came with the dryer and traced back to a connector that got pulled off on the heater relay. I put that back on and the dryer was spinning and heating as expected but about 5 minutes into a fresh load of wet clothes I get the E1 error code. I don't get it, I went through all the checks, all the components check out per the manufacture recommendations??? What could be the problem? Could I have damaged the controller card? If you have any advice I would appreciate it. Also, as a last ditch effort I removed the power cable from the socket hoping if I let it completely de-energize maybe it will work properly in the morning.
1 Answer Hello Jeff. THERMISTOR OPEN. You need to check and see if you knocked the wires off the thermistor installing the belt. Read More...
James April 12, 2016 for Model Number Whirlpool duet dryer When I turn the dryer on, the readout says PF which I have come to learn means there is a power failure and I know that there has been no outage. I have done the troubleshooting of pressing and holding the control lock but every time I turn it on and press the start all I hear is a clicking sound but nothing happens.
1 Answer Hello James. It sounds like the control panel is bad and needs to be replaced if you keep getting a PF code and it will not clear out. Read More...
Paul March 23, 2016 for Model Number WED8000BW0 I have a whirlpool cabrio platinum dryer model # WED8000BW0 , after one to five minutes of operation the breaker trips any ideas on what would cause this ?
1 Answer Paul, The first thing that would be suspect is the heater possibly making contact when it heats up and causing the breaker to trip. This could also just be a weak breaker. Read More...
