Dee February 19, 2024 for Model Number WED9300VU0 My dryer has not been drying properly lately and now it wont start. When I turn it on it comes up in sensing mode, blinking. I hear a click but no action. Can this be repaired easily? And What is the life expectancy of this dryer? Thank you.
1 Answer Dee, The first thing to check is to make sure that the venting is clear from the blower wheel to the outside of your home. Then check to see if the thermal fuse on the blower has continuity and if there is no continuity then it is faulty and would need to be replaced. Read More...
Al February 05, 2024 for Model Number MED3500FW1 Where is the service panel on this model and how to you get to the thermistor to replace it?? Thanks!
1 Answer Al, There is not a service panel, you will need to remove the top and the front. Then, remove the tub to get down to the blower housing, and the thermistor is located on the back side of the blower housing. Read More...
Al August 31, 2023 for Model Number WGD95HEDW0 Through your troubleshooting guides I believe I need to test/replace the thermistor. However, my dryer is not like the one pictured in the video on how to replace the part. The difference is mine does not have a small lower panel. It looks to me like everything below the control panel needs to be removed. I'm not sure what screws do or do not need to be removed. Is there possibly a different video that would show how to disassemble what I've got? S/N M43103482
1 Answer Al, Yes, you would remove the top, the control panel, and then the front to gain access. Read More...

Paul May 16, 2023 for Model Number wed72hedwo Whirlpool Duet Dryer will not start, pf Code displays, Usual culprits? Thermistor? or other
1 Answer PF is for power failure, if the code cannot be cleared then the issue would be with the control board WPW10654005. Before replacing the control make sure the power cord and terminal block are good and that proper power is at the outlet. Read More...
Joshua February 14, 2023 for Model Number 11082826101 So our dryer has started acting up. If I start a normal load, it'll start fine but when it has about 13 minutes left to finish the cycle, it gets stuck at that time. Dryer keeps running and keeps drying for hours but time doesn't go down from 13 minutes. I have checked the vent and for any other obstruction and it's all clear.
1 Answer Joshua, If this is occurring in the auto cycle then the sensor bars would be the most likely cause for this. If this is in any cycle then the main board will be the most likely cause. Read More...

Adrian October 26, 2022 for Model Number 110.60972990 Kenmore Elite Electric So my problem started about a month ago. My older electric dryer stopped heating up. We got it used- so I did some research and decided to replace the heating element and all of the fuses and thermostats to be safe. So I did. And it worked, for about 5 minutes then stopped heating again. The dryer will still spin just no heat. Then I opened up the dryer more cleaned it out better, cleaned out the exiting vent (corrugated metal) and tested the fuses and thermostats with a multimeter (lots of Youtube videos) and discovered that I tripped the thermostat on the blower and the one in the back by the heating element, hi temp I think. So I bought and installed replacements for those and started right up again and stopped again. So I'm typing this very frustrated not sure why it's overheating cause that's obviously what it's doing and I'll have to replace those 2 pieces again. There's no obstructions- I checked again. Please help.
1 Answer Adrian, Check the venting that goes to the outside of the home. There could be an obstruction there that could be causing this issue to occur. Double-check the thermostats and make sure that they are not open. If they are not then it is likely there could be a problem with the centrifugal switch on the motor that would require the motor to be replaced. Read More...
Adrian October 26, 2022 for Model Number 11060872990 Can the thermostat on the blower next to the fuse be reset if tripped, or does it need to be replaced? 2nd I've replaced all thermostats and the heating element the dryer turns on and runs normally for about 5-10 minutes then the heat stops and I have to replace fuses again?
1 Answer Adrian, unfortunately, the model provided is not showing as a valid model number. If the number could be verified and provided in a new post, it may allow more accurate information to be presented. Generally speaking, an electric dryer will have a thermal fuse that can not be reset, and a cycling thermostat which is an automatically resetting part. Usually, when the thermal fuse trips, it is due to the air vent or duct being clogged up which can be cleared out. Read More...

1 Answer V, Thanks for your question. Sorry, the thermistor is not a replacement for the cycling thermostat. Read More...
