Steve February 09, 2013 for Model Number re04440vq1 Part w10185972e....dryer runs and blower works well but very little heat. Heat shield is stamped 240v...input wires to dryer read 240 but heat coil teminal connectors only read 120v. All fuse/temp limiter and sensors and coil shows continuity. Could the timer/cycle selector unit be faulty?
1 Answer Hello Steve, You will want to go from either side of the heater and see which side you are loosing voltage. If you test each terminal to ground you will be able to determine this. There should be 120 vac to ground. If on the side of the thermostat then you would want to trace back to timer. If all checks ok then timer contact for heat circuit would be bad. Read More...
Tom January 18, 2013 for Model Number aed4475tq1 My dryer only dry on low heat timed dry. Need to run it three times to get thing dry. It will not dry on high heat timed dry or high heat auto sense dry. I have replaced all thermals and heating coil parts except for the timer. I also clean out the air vent. It does not get hot.
1 Answer Hello Tom, Based on the information provided, it sounds like the temp switch would be at faulty. The timer would not be at fault because there is only one heater circuit in the timer and if it is heating on low heat then it would work on high heat. Read More...
Gerald L. December 23, 2012 for Model Number red444ovq1 Dryer has no heat but will run on any cycle but no heat. I checked fuse and heating element and both are good. Is my cycle switch bad?
1 Answer Hello Gerald. You can test both thermostats for continuity but before you test them you should make sure you are getting 240v to the unit. The dryer can run on 120v but it won't heat. Thanks! Read More...
Gretchen December 08, 2012 for Model Number roper dryer red4440vq1 My dryer is only working on the no heat setting. what could be the problem?
1 Answer Hello Gretchen, You may want to check the thermistors and thermostats 279816. Check continuity and if there is no continuity then you would need to replace them. Also check the venting from the blower wheel to the outside of home for being clogged. This would cause thermistors to go out on unit. Also check for continuity through heater assembly or pull heater 279838 to make sure that there are no breaks in the coils. Make sure all this is being done with no power to 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...
Mike C November 05, 2012 for Model Number RED444OVQ1 The dryer does not heat except when I select the very hot cycle. I can move the selector around and the heating element will come on intermittently. I have Ohmed all of the fuses and thermostats does this sound like the timer?
1 Answer Hello Mike. Yes, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the timer WPW10185972 will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Eric November 04, 2012 for Model Number aed4475tq1 My dryer will not run. I think the timer is bad but havent found how to test this timer. Can you help please!!!
1 Answer Hello Eric. First, lets check the most common parts to cause this issue. There is a thermal fuse WP3392519 and the door switch WP3406107 that can cause the issue you are having. Both parts should read closed for continuity, but the door switch has to be closed by pressing the switch lever. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Wes October 01, 2012 for Model Number RED4440VQ1 Our dryer did not shut off this morning. Once I turned the timer switch to the next off position it shut off. Now it only works on low temp. with no heat at all!! Could this be timer? Thank you!
1 Answer Wes, Depending on the cycle you selected, If the dryer doesn't heat, the timer won't advance. You may want to slide the dryer out and check for a damaged heater element 279838 or open thermal fuse 279816 or wire. Read More...
Fred September 01, 2012 for Model Number Aed4475tq1 When I turn on a drying cycle the timer stays in one place, the dial does not turn and the dryer stays on constantly. Does this mean the timer is bad?
1 Answer Fred, if the dryer continously runs on all cycles due to the timer not advancing it will need to be replaced. Your timer is part number WPW10185972. Thanks! Read More...
Seth April 14, 2012 for Model Number NED5100TQ1 The timer/selection knob has been acting like it's off lately and then today when my wife went to show me how it is acting she turned it to a couple of different slections and now nothing works. All i get when I push the start button is a loud buzz like when the the cycle is complete. Is it the timer/selection or what. I don't have tools and am not that mechanically inclined so I have no idea what to check or how.
1 Answer Hello Seth. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the timer WPW10185972 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
