Ac September 12, 2011 for Model Number GGW9878JQ0 My dryer dries the clothes completely sometimes and other times it starts to dry and you come back in 10 minutes and the timer is off and the clothes are warm and wet. What gives? Thanks, AC
1 Answer Hello AC. 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. Hope this helps. Read More...
Kent May 17, 2011 for Model Number 110.74992300 The dryer will not start, run, heat up....nothing. If you set the timer you can hear it run; sometimes it runs thru the cycle it is set for, and other times, it only runs for a few seconds. Pushing the start button causes the timer to quit. The thermal fuse appears to be good when tested with a digital VOM. The thermistor when cold and out of circuit tests open. Without a wiring diagram, I am not sure where to look for the problem. I am hoping you can provide some direction. Thank you
1 Answer Hello Kent. There should be a wiring diagram on the dryer. The thermister should read around 10k ohms at room temperature. Check the door switch WP3406107. If it is bad, the dryer will not run. You can test this with a multi-meter MA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

Bdobbs April 26, 2011 for Model Number 110.64972301 My dryer only runs when the push to start switch is held down. Heat blows, dryer tumbles, but as soon as I release it the dryer stops. I replaced the electronic controller, and push to start switch. It worked for about a month and now is doing the same thing. My timer continues to run even when the dryer isn't running. Do I need to replace my controller board again or is it the timer?
1 Answer Hello Bdobbs, it sounds as though you may have a problem with the start switch on your motor. It's the plastic piece on the motor where the wires attach. It has to be activated once you release the start button and it doesn't sound as though that's happening. Sometimes lint will build up around the centrifigal mechanism and keep it from working correctly. If the switch itself is bad it will require ordering a new motor. Read More...
