Teunis O. April 01, 2011 for Model Number WED5300SQO Checked heater and it is not touching or grounded. Every thing looks like new.
2 Answers Teunis, As stated before, re check and make sure you wired the new timer correctly. From there you'll need to start checking the wire harness for shorts to the cabinet or chassis ground causing 120 VAC to the heater assembly, and causing a partial circuit and the heater to be energized all the time. Good Luck. Read More...
Teunis O. April 01, 2011 for Model Number WED5300SQO Dryer was running through the off position. So I changed the timer. Now heater is coming on with door open when setting timer. Even with the door open heater is coming on. I disconnected the door switch and the same thing happens heater comes on with the door open.Thank you Teunis Oskam

Ron W March 10, 2011 for Model Number wed5300sq0 My dryer will run anywhere from 5 minutes to ten minutes and shuts off. After it sets and cools down it will start up, and do the same over again. It does heat well in the short period of time that it runs.
