Curt April 03, 2014 for Model Number LEQ9508PW1 This dryer is not heating, I ordered a new timer installed it and still no heat . all thermostats and heating element have continuity. what else could be the problem with this thing? Thank You for your time Curt
1 Answer Curt, If you have tested the thermostat, thermal fuse, heater and changed the timer, but the unit is still not drying then you will want to check the Terminal block to make sure that there is 240 vac getting to the terminal block. If this checks ok then the motor would most likely be the issue. Read More...
Jeff February 20, 2014 for Model Number wed5800sw0 My dryer wont turn on. The starter switch clicks and the timer ticks until you open the door then it stops. If you close the door it will start ticking again. It did work for a short if you played with the timer now it wont turn at all any ideas?
1 Answer Jeff, If playing with the timer would allow the dryer to turn on and now the unit is not running at all then the issue would be caused by a faulty timer. Read More...
Fred January 21, 2014 for Model Number LGQ7030KQ1 My dryer has a wrinkle guard. The guard clicks constantly & you can't get any drying cycle to operate. Occasionally by moving the timer slowly the a dry cycle will operate. Thanks

Don Z. December 20, 2013 for Model Number Wgd5850swd My dryer does not start. Start switch makes noise (click) when pushed. Timer ticks when set. Door switch appears to work (stops timer when door is opened). I replaced thermal fuse by blower with no effect/change. Dryer just does not start.
1 Answer Hello Don, If you try to spin the dryer drum by hand while holding the door switch in and the start button is pressed and it starts, you have a bad start winding in the motor. If it does not start, the issue is likely to be in the door switch or harness. Read More...
Rhonda December 12, 2013 for Model Number LGQ8858JT1 part # 3406725 The shaft broke off with the timer control knob. Is there a way to manipulate it so it will work? It was working until it snapped off flush with the knob.
1 Answer Rhonda, if the shaft of the timer broke the timer will need to be replaced. The part number is WP3406725. If the knob is also needed order part number WP3957755. Thanks! Read More...
Dan September 17, 2013 for Model Number LGN2000PWO MY DRYER WORKS BUT DOES NOT SHUT OFF IS THIS THE TIMER THANKS FOR THE HELP
1 Answer Dan, If the timer advances and shuts off in the timed dry cycle, then the timer is not the issue, and you'll need to inspect the electronic control board WPW10476828 for damage and shorts. If the timer doesn't advance to off in any cycle, then replace the timer. Read More...

Dods2403 March 28, 2013 for Model Number lgn2000pw1 When the timer is turned to any other mode, other than off, the timer makes a "ticking" sound almost like an old timer that actually counts down the the time. The dryer will start and run normal but this "ticking" noise is driving us nuts. It seems that when the dryer is running, it is almost unoticeable but if the dryer is not on, and the timer is turned to anythign other than "off", the timer is very noisy. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello dods2403. It is not uncommon for the timers to become noisy on units. If the noise is bothering you then you will need to order and replace the timer on the unit. Read More...
Rasool March 08, 2013 for Model Number whirlpool Mod: GEQ9800PW! My dryer is not running. I checked Push to start Switch it's Ok, but when I turn on the Timer it makes a noise tik tik but motor does not run. some times when I turn the timer round and round motor starts by itself, only 2 out of the 10 times it happened. Do you think I have to replace the Timer or not. Thanks
1 Answer Rasool, Your first check needs to be at the thermal fuse, located on the blower housing WP3392519 it's a more likely issue. Read More...
