Bostongeorgio April 08, 2016 for Model Number 110.65942401 Electric dryer was running perfect & suddenly would shut off after just a few minutes... Then would not start until it was left alone for several minutes, & would continue doing that. I replaced the Timer & it seemed to fix it... Now just a couple cycles later, its shutting off again. Any ideas? (I thought possibly the motor, but when it does start, there is no humming or hesitation)
1 Answer Bostongeorgio, You will want to check the venting to make sure that it is not clogged and then check the rollers to make sure that they are free rolling. It is possible that there is a drag on the motor which is causing it to kick out on overload. Read More...
Ron January 12, 2015 My dryer will not start, it makes a noise like the cycle is completed thru the on button.
1 Answer Hello Ron. You will need to test the thermal fuse and the door switch 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...
Robert April 25, 2014 for Model Number kenmoredryer model#110.66904691 I replaced the motor, it was bad. Now the timer will not shut off. If you have it in normal dry the timer motor dose run , but if in time dry the timer doesn't run.
1 Answer Robert, Recheck and make sure the tan/white wire is attached to the proper terminal of the new motor (5M). Then check for a "closed" circuit between terminals GY(gray) and WB(white/black) at the timer terminals, with the timer set in the timed dry portion of the dial. If all's OK, check or replace the electronic control board WPW10476828. Read More...

Casey January 06, 2014 for Model Number kenmore 110 629221100 I just purchased a 3976576 from a website that fixed the problem I had of dryer just shutting off at random times (contacts burned up in timer). Now that is fixed, but sometimes timer runs backwards. I took motor off old timer and put in newly purchased unit and it seems to be fixed. My question is, can I purchase just the motor since I still have a 15 year old "fixed" timer"? I could not return item I bought it from ebay. Thank You
1 Answer Hello Casey, The only way this could be possible is if the wrong motor were installed in the timer to begin with, since the correct motor for the timer is non-polarized and reversing the wires to it would have no effect. To answer your question, the timer motor for timers was at one time a replaceable part but they have not been available as a replacement part in over 15 years. Read More...
Lucyandpaco September 08, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore Elite. Model 110 62932100 dryer Dryer will start if the button is held down, but if held down the timer will run backwards until time is out.
1 Answer Hello lucyandpaco. It sounds like the timer needs to be replaced. If the motor issue continuies after, you will need the motor as well for the unit. Read More...
Bell August 25, 2013 for Model Number 110.64912200 My dryer worked out, one cycle had to be dried twice, but the next morning nothing. I was told to change the thermal fuse, that wasn't the issue. I was told to clean it so I took it apart to find that there was only a small amount of lint to clean out. Now I'm told it may be the timer? I am lost and need my dryer! LBVS! I push the start button, no sound or movement. The light comes on (if that matters). Nothing else. Is it a lost cause? Please help. Thanks in advance.
1 Answer Hello Bill. Check the power cord and the terminal block for burnt wires and spades on the power cord. This can cause the issue as well. Read More...
Tracy June 29, 2013 for Model Number 1 10 60902990 I was just chatting with parts dept and they suggested asking you my question. Something feel out of the overhead cabinet and broke my timer knob off of the stem. Do I need to replace the complete timer unit (AP3100522) and if so, does it come with instructions?
1 Answer Tracy, We'd expect you to need a new timer WP3976576 in the near future, if not now. If what ever fell and broke the timer dial knob, was probably pretty heavy, chances are the timer shaft is bent or may have become out of alignment with the internal contacts of the timer. No it will not come with installation instructions, but it's not that hard a repair to perform. Unplug the power cord, remove the three or four screws across the back side of the control panel and "roll" it forward from the top. Remove the timer mounting screws, and reverse the procedure to install. Read More...
Rcbello April 21, 2013 for Model Number 3976576 When I hit the start button on dryer I only get a buzzing sound and the dryer does not work.
1 Answer RC, Without a model number, it's a bit difficult to diagnose and make a recomendation. But basically, you want to make sure you have the proper power supply to the dryer at the outlet. At this point there's a slight possibility that the timer has a bad contact, but it's more likely and issue in the dryer motor itself, or the wiring. With a proper model number we can assist you better and more efficiently. Read More...
