Richie Burke March 11, 2017 for Model Number LER4634EQ1 I replaced the motor and now the dryer won't shut off via the timer. It will shut off when door is open and restart when door is closed. The time does tick and move if the dryer is running, but won't shut off if auto or manually moved to the off position. What troubleshooting needs to be done to find the cause?
1 Answer Richie, First, check that the replacement motor is wired correctly. The door switch is working correctly, based on your description so check the start switch for a "momentary" contact when the knob is turned to start the dryer, the switch circuit should "open" when the knob is released. If all's Ok replace the timer. Read More...
Randy February 02, 2017 for Model Number LER5636EQ3 My electric dryer stays on high heat no matter what cycle (even fluff). It also gets very hot (up to 200 degrees) before cycling off, cooling down to 140 or so, then heating up again. I have replaced the cycling thermostat, thermal cut-off fuse, and high limit thermostat. Could it be the timer control?
1 Answer Hello Randy. Yes, it sounds like the timer WP3976569 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
James November 16, 2016 for Model Number 110.96350100 After dryer goes through timed cycle the timer continues to tick and move past cut off section on into air dry section and it finally stopped after that section. Also the other day the dryer got real hot by the timer continuing to move without hitting start button?? Can you tell me how to tell if resistor on back of timer is bad or timer bad?
1 Answer James, the resistor can be visually inspected for damage and broken connectors bu then you would need a multi meter to check for 3 to 5 ohms resistance across the resistor terminals. The timer resistor seldom has an issue, if that will help you out. You'll want to check the timer cam chart and circuits or replace it based on your post information. Read More...
Darren August 12, 2016 for Model Number LTE6234DZ1 This is a stackable unit. The dryer does not heat. ive replaced the heating element and the thermal cut off , which did test bad. its still isnt producing heat. The timer does not advance . Would the timer cause this to not heat up?
1 Answer Hello Darren. Yes, if the timer is bad, it can prevent the unit from heating. Also, in some cases the timer will not advance if the unit is not heating. Need to check voltage and make sure the motor is passing the power to the heater also. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Andt December 14, 2015 for Model Number ltg6234dqo Dryer dries in all modes but timer only goes so far will not shut off automatically except on air fluff (no heat) mode.
1 Answer Hello Andt. Check for power to the timer motor. Also, make sure the cycling thermostat and heat are working properly. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Lloyd September 03, 2015 for Model Number LER5636EQ3 My dryer will heat up and dry ok but it will not cut off in auto mode. I have checked out everything an they seen to be ok.Do you think I need a new timer?
1 Answer Hello Lloyd. You will need to check the cycling thermostat and the resistor 279872 in the unit. If either are bad the unit will not advance in auto mode. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
