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...
John October 10, 2011 for Model Number medc400vwg The timer does not work on all cycles it will only work on the timer cycle the first one to the right of 12 o clock. Will run on the other settings but will not advance. Any thoughts?
1 Answer Hi John. The only thing that move's all cycle selections is the timer motor itself. Part # is WP8299779. Thank you. Read More...
Dustan September 05, 2011 for Model Number Kenmore Mod 110.66662500 The dryer did not stop at the end of the cycle while we went to the mall and ran for several hours in the Timed Dry mode, the load was dry. The dryer will now run when started but it does not get hot, I have tried both the Timed Dry and the Auto Dry modes. I assume the timer is bad since it did not stop but I would not expect the heater to be burned out also, I would have expected it to be in the cool down part of the cycle. The heater measures "open" when I read it with my Multimeter. Any thoughts? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Dustan. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the heating element 279838 is bad and will need to be replaced. If the unit does not heat, the timer will not advance. If you repair the heating issue, the timer should work properly. Hope this helps. Read More...
