Brian December 04, 2023 for Model Number LGR6634DQ1 My dryer will run but won't heat up at all. I checked the gas coils and the meter shows there is no voltage coming to the gas valve or gas ignitor. I ordered and replaced the timer thinking that will fix the issue, but still no heat. What else can cause the gas coils to not get 120 volts to open up the gas valve?
1 Answer Brian,You will need to locate the tech sheet provided with your machine and check the heating circuit. This could be the timer switch, the hi-limit thermostat, the operating thermostat, or the thermal fuse. Read More...
Alma January 10, 2019 for Model Number LER3624EQ0 My dryer gets too hot and will not cut off the timer knob doesn't move I've replaced the Timer in November it was still getting to hot and not cutting off then I replace the cutoff thermostat twice still getting to hot can you help with this I order the timer from Appliances Parts Sincerely Alma
1 Answer Alma,You will need to test the resistor for 5K ohms of resistance. 279872 this could be the reason the timer will not advance. As for the overheating the operating thermostat controls the element cycling on and off.WP694674 Read More...
Jacq December 30, 2016 for Model Number LER5634AW0 MY DRYER HEATS BUT WILL NOT TURN OFF, TIMER ISSUE?
1 Answer Hello Jacq. Test for power to the timer motor. If there is power there, and the timer does not advance, you will need to order and replace the timer on the 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...
Willie July 27, 2015 Whirlpool dryer. Will not start. Pulled off timer after replacing the bad thermal fuse. Checked door switch, thermostat, start switch, and the timer. Is the timer bad?
1 Answer Hello Willie. Check and make sure you plugged all the wires back up after replacing the thermal fuse. If so, then the timer could be the issue with the unit or a bad motor. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Larry September 16, 2014 Dryer timer is making a ticking sound while in the off position. Works fine and goes thru all the cycles and shuts off properly, just continues to make this sound when it is off. It is hard to hear but the ticking sound is there.
1 Answer Hello Larry. Look for a connection issue. The motor should be off when off. If not, then replace the timer. Read More...
Larry September 16, 2014 Dryer works fine and goes thru all cycles and shuts off when in the off position, but there is a clicking noise coming from the timer when in the off position. Sound's like a clock ticking and is hard to hear but is there. Not sure if it is supposed to do this.
1 Answer Hello Larry. It is normal for the timer to tick until it reaches the off position. Read More...
Greg September 09, 2014 for Model Number LER3624EQ1 When I put the dryer in any of the three modes of operation and hit the start button it will start and then run for a few minutes and stop. When I hit the start button to restart it does not restart, I have to move, push in or pull out on the timer knob in order to make the dryer start, while pushing the start button, do I need a new timer?
Ejs April 15, 2014 for Model Number LER3624JQ1 The timer on my dryer at first stopped just before it gets to the cool down cycle, then it stopped turning. The drum kept turning and it heated Ok. So I got the timer from you and changed it, it was easy enough to do. But that didn't solve the problem. What else can I check or try? Help, EJS
1 Answer EJS, Try this, select a timed dry selection and allow the dryer to run and shut off, If all checks and operates proper, the timer is not the issue. Since the motor runs and the heater produces heat, those are probably not the issue either. So we're looking for an air flow issue, clogged vent, clogged lint filter or blower, or a weak hi limit thermostat 279816 or regulating thermostat WP694674. In an "auto" cycle, if the heat isn't correct, the timer won't advance, so a themostat or clogged vent could be creating the issue. Read More...
Stephanie February 11, 2014 for Model Number LET6634AW2 My dryer will only run in the dry miser energy preferred automatic setting. In the other settings you can hear the timer clicking but it does not move the dial. Does my timer need to be replaced?
