Stan July 05, 2011 for Model Number kenmore 11069727800 My dryer heats fine, but the timer knob will not move. You can hear the timer running and when you manually turn it to off, it will stop, but when set to a time on any position, it will not move. Is the timer bad?
1 Answer Hello Stan. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the timer is bad and will need to be replaced. WP8566184 is the correct timer, according to the model number you provided. Hope this helps. Read More...

Lisa May 10, 2011 for Model Number MED5870TW0 What is an acceptable read(ohms) on a digital multimeter when testing the leads on my dryer heating element. I am clear on how to test fuses but not on elements. My element reading is over 9.00... So many different answers on youtube.... Help!!!
1 Answer Hello Lisa. The element should read the same as the fuses, closed for continuity. If it is open, it will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Lisa May 10, 2011 for Model Number MED5870TW0 My Maytag dryer will not heat again! I replaced the element back in January 2011 even though the problem was that a fuse in the electrical panel had blown (enough juice to turn and blow, but not heat dryer). I checked all fuses in back of dryer with my digital multimeter. All of them ranged between 0.00 and 0.01 except for the two brass colored points on the dryer cycle thermostat (has four points total)which don't register at all on the multimeter. Do you thing this could be the issue, or something more serious like the timer? Thanks in advance!
1 Answer Hello Lisa. That is the cycling thermostat WP8318268 and it is testing good. You will need to trace and see where your losing voltage to the heater. It could be the motor 279827 or the timer. Make sure there is 240 volts coming to the dryer at the terminal block 279320. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. 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...
