Brian March 18, 2022 for Model Number 11067841600 For past week or so dryer would just start on its own. I would walk into the laundry room and it would start working on its own and now today it has completely stopped working. Won't start at all. I checked fuse, thermostats and belt. When I open the panel up there is a timer and a board. Which of these would cause my dryer to just run on its own?
1 Answer Hello Brian, there are several components that may cause this, however, most likely is the push- to- start switch WP3977456, the electronic control board is no longer available from the manufacturer. Read More...
David October 11, 2016 for Model Number 110.64982301 Dryer seems to operate normally except for lack of heat. Timer seems to function regarding cycle time. Continuity checks ok for heating element, thermal fuse, and thermal cut-off. 220V present at plug but no power at heating element. Can't find wiring diagram. Thank you.
1 Answer Hello David. You will need to unhook the wires from the heating element and trace backwards to see where your losing voltage at. Make sure the unit is not set to air fluff also. Check dryer terminal block for bad wires and burning also. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Larry November 30, 2015 for Model Number kenmore elite model # 11072932100 At times I can set the timer to various dry times and recheck it to find it has "completed " cycle in much less time. The clothes will still be wet. When the timer is set to Auto sensor or timed dry, the dryer will sometimes start and within 10 seconds, the dryer shuts off with buzzer going off. The door is properly shut. The timer has been cleaned from dust and cleaned contacts. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Larry, You should pull the tech sheet and activate the factory test mode. This will help pinpoint the issue with the unit. The wiring diagram is on this sheet also so you can trace the circuits and test harnesses during diagnosis. Read More...
Jeff July 06, 2015 for Model Number 11064972300 HI, Dryer does not start, When set on a timed dry, the timer sounds as if it's working yet the drum doesn't spin. After a few seconds the timer stops.
1 Answer Hello Jeff. You will need to check the thermal fuse WP3392519 and the door switch WP3406107 on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Ed C December 06, 2012 for Model Number Sears Kenmore Electric Dryer 110.62952100 Awhile back my dryer started to stop running prematurely and the signal (end of cycle) would sound that it was finished. This occurs on either the Air Moisture Sensing Plus or the Timed Dry side at about the same spot on the dial. At first it was erratic and then it would happen all of the time at about the same spot on the dial. For example, at the present time I set it on timed dry for 28 minutes and usually the dryer will turn off and signal it’s done at about 22 minutes. In all cases I hit the start button and it will start back up and continue drying the set time. Then on other occasions (setting on 28 minutes) it will not stop at 22 minutes and finish the set time. There have been times it would stop at 40-45 minutes after starting at 60 minutes (and signal), I would hit the start button and it will start drying again and then would stop & signal once again right away. Again, I would hit the start button and it starts back up and move down to about 30 minutes where it would shut off again. That's why I have been setting it at 28 minutes.... I dry all of the time on medium heat.
1 Answer Hello Ed. Check the vent on the unit first. If it is good, you may actually have a timer iss with the unit and need to replace the timer WP8299771. Read More...
Mike S November 27, 2012 for Model Number kenmore elec dryer 110.63942101 Hello, When I start my Kenmore elec dyer, regardless if the cycle is timed or moisture sensing, it will run then it stops. When I push the start button again it runs but as soon as I let go of the start button it stops. This happens regardless of temp setting too. I am able to get it started if I turn timer to off, open and close door and restart. I don't know if it might be the timer, start button or something else. What do I need to do?
1 Answer Hello Mike, Based on the information provided it sounds like the centrifugal switch is bad on the motor. To replace you will have to replace the motor 279787 on unit. Read More...
Ken November 04, 2012 for Model Number Sears Kenmore Dryer model 11072952100 S/N 2808315 Hi, Set Dryer for about 60 minutes, will quit after about 10 minutes, then will stop dead . When this happens, the timer moves fast, even though it was set for 60 min, it will travel to about the 40 min setting and stop, all within 5 minutes. It will not latch and run anymore, I have to hold the run button down for another 5 minutes until the timer advances all the way to "Stop", then all is good again (normal operation) for many weeks. Thanks Much Kenny
1 Answer Hello Ken. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the timer WP8299771 is bad on the unit and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Bobareno August 14, 2012 for Model Number 11062932100 I SET MY DRYER ON TIMED DRY FOR 70 MINUTES --- RAN OK FOR 5 MINUTES DOWN TO 65 MINUTES -- THEN TIMER KNOB ADVANCED FROM 65 MIN TO 20 MIN IN MAYBE 10 SECONDS WHILE I WATCHED -- THEN ADVANCED TO OFF -- SOUNDS LIKE A MECHANICAL PROBLEM WITHIN TIMER -- DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT?? --
1 Answer Bobareno, It's more likely a sensor bar issue in the drum under the lint filter housing WP3387223 or a control board issue WPW10116565. these two components communicate with each other and directs the timer to advance or stall based on the information. We'll send you some wiring and test information so you can verify the component operations. Read More...
Alex March 09, 2012 for Model Number 110.78944892 I have a Kenmore gas dryer that was new in 1999. No problem until recently. The dryer would not start normally, However, I found it will run when set to "10 minutes" or less or on "sensor dry". I suspect the timer is faulty. I can hear it click when I select these cycles. Thoughts? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Alex. It does sound like a timer WP8299771 issue considering the clicking you mentioned. If you have any more questions be sure to contact us and have a great day! Read More...
Ac September 13, 2011 for Model Number GGW9878JQ0 Hi Guys, I cleaned the vent and the ducts on the dryer when I put a new burner assembly in a few weeks ago. The timer seems to run down quickly from 45 minutes to off in less than 10 minutes on some loads and not others. when using the resource saver the dryer runs for a few minutes before turning off without drying the load. Any ideas? Thanks AC
1 Answer AC, You will need to check the drum dryness sensor circuit and wiring to the control board and the other to ground for loose connections. If alls OK, you'll need the electronic control board WPW10116566 . Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
