Tom March 12, 2023 for Model Number WED4616FW0 Hi Dryer runs, but will not shut off and clothes are very hot. We always use the Auto Dry. Just tried the timer setting and that does not work either. Deciding whether to replace timer or control board first. Dryer is 5-6 years old and parts cost adds up quick Any recommendations? Thanks Tom
1 Answer Tom, If the timer never shits off on the timed dry setting then you likely have a timer issue. The overheating could be a thermostat, heating element, and/or an airflow issue. Read More...
Harold June 20, 2021 for Model Number WED4616FW0 The dryer runs and heats up, but the different selections for drying on the dial don't work. It dries the same no matter where you set the dial. The dryer will not advance the dial and shut off on it's own. It will run constant unless we stop it. After a week or so of this, now the dial must be set to the section between 12 and 3 o'clock or it will not run. Will replacing the timer alone fix this?
1 Answer Harold, based on the information provided, the timer WPW10436303 would be the cause of failure as it is not operating properly in any cycle. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Hasan, Unplug the appliance before beginning the part replacement. Remove the rear console panel and pull the knob straight off. Remove the wires one at a time, placing them on the new timer on the terminal labeled the same as the terminal it was removed from as you go. Remove the two screws retaining the timer in position from inside the control panel and place them into the new timer. Reassemble in reverse order. Read More...
Jimmie November 28, 2016 for Model Number NED4700YQ1 When the element is on during the cycle, is it normal for the timer to have a small spot that glows ever so often? It's only when element is on. It does not do it in air dry, or when the element has cycled off during a heated cycle. You cannot even tell it's doing it unless lights are off and room is dark. No burned wires or terminals on or around timer. Not constant just ever so often and it's like a spark but its not, just a small glow. I have the buzzer turned off but you can hear it faintly during the whole cycle unless you hold the push to start switch down and hold it.
1 Answer Hello Jimmie, This is a set of contacts that are sticking. That is why the buzzer is trying to sound and a slight glow is noticable. The timer WPW10436303 will have to be replaced to correct the issue. Read More...
Brad B November 07, 2015 for Model Number NED4700YQ0 Does the timer switch also control the heating element coming on and off?
1 Answer Brad, The timer does have a contact in it for the heater to function but during the cycle the cycling thermostat is what cycles the unit on and off. The motor also has a switch on it that the power passes through in order to make the heat circuit. But again this would be a constant circuit while the unit is running and does not cycle off and on during the cycle. Read More...
