Marty October 19, 2013 for Model Number MEDC400vw0 The dryer will not shutoff, and it gets very hot but will not dry the clothes. I believe I need a timer since it will not advance. Trying to figure out if I need a heating element as well. Any help will be great!
1 Answer Hello Marty. It sounds like the venting system is clogged or kinked. You will need to check the vent and clean it out. Be sure and clean the vent pipe and the dryer air duct assembly. If the air flow is not good, the unit will retain moist air causing the clothes not to dry. Try running the unit with the vent unhooked from the back of the dryer and see if the dryer works properly.

Jimmie June 22, 2013 for Model Number 110.666.42500 My dryer is not heating, but the timer is not advancing, could it just be the timer? or do I need to get a heating element too??
1 Answer Jimmie, With the unit not heating and the timer not advancing then the issue would be a faulty timer. You will want to check the thermal fuse next to the heater to ensure that it is not open but if it checks ok then you will only need to replace the timer. If it does not check ok then you will need to replace the timer and thermal fuse. Read More...
Robin July 18, 2012 for Model Number 11064202200 I didn't take a photo before removing the wires from Timer and when I start the Dryer the wires are sparking. Therefore, I need the Wiring Diagram Sheet (P/N LIT8528192) to help with reconnecting the wires to the Timer.
1 Answer Mike, We don't quite understand the question, But, anything is possible. Most A/C timer motors are not polarity sensitive, and will run in one direction only, regardless of the wiring connections. If the timer is running backwards, you'll need to check the wiring connections at the timer terminals, and replece the timer if alls OK. Read More...
J May 31, 2012 for Model Number medca400vwo Dryer runs and drys clothes perfectly---will not cut off at the end of the cycle in the timed dry mode. Don't have a manual.
1 Answer Hello J. If the timer does not stop in the timed dry mode, you will need to replace the timer WP8299779 in the unit. Read More...
Judy February 21, 2012 for Model Number MEDC400VW0, Serial Number MW5183619 Our home had a power surge... Since then, dryer heats, but timer does not advance. How do I figure out all that is shorted out/wrong with the dryer?
1 Answer Hi Judy. One way to tell is to make sure that it is not running on Auto-Dry. The timer is the command center of the power distribution to each circuit. It is first in line after the door switch, since you said it is running and heating then the timer part # WP8299779 will be the next in line to get the power surge and open the timer motor winds / contacts from turning. Thank You. Read More...
Andy January 06, 2012 for Model Number 110.66642500 The timer keeps rotating until the door is opened witch turns off the heating element but not the tumbling motor. Do I need new timer? Drys clothes normal.
1 Answer Hello Andy. It sounds like a wiring issue in the dryer. Check all the wiring for loose, burnt, or broken wires. If all is good, and the motor and heater work properly, replace the timer WP8299779. Hope this helps. Read More...
Steven R. October 17, 2011 for Model Number 110.67442600 Dryer will not start. The breaker is good. The light in the drum goes on when the door is opened is it safe to assume the switch is working? It tested good with a meter. Could it be the timer? How would I test it? Or any suggestions. Thank You, Steve
1 Answer Hello Steven. You will need to test and see if the thermal fuse WP3392519 is bad in the unit. It should read closed for continuity. If it is bad, the dryer will not start. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. 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...
Craig October 14, 2011 for Model Number MEDC400VW0, Ser# MY3652623 Timer doesn't move. Heater is on full no matter what setting, even on air fluff. Would this be the timer? Heating element obviously works. Blower works. No obstruction to air flow.
1 Answer Hi Craig. You will need to 1st change the timer so it can advance through the cycles. Part # WP8299779. 99% of the time this is only it if the motor contacts are not shorted to alow heat all the time. The heater can short to ground and stay partially on ,part # is 279838. If you are experiencing only the timer issue , then chances are that is all you have. Thank You. Read More...
