Dan for Model Number MEDC200XW1

The dryer began to occasionally provide no heat while drying, and the cycle-end buzzer stopped going off - and sometime the dryer wouldn't stop at the end the cycle, it would continue spinning in cool down. We found that if we rotated the cycle-setting knob a few times, the heat would return. I did a search here and got the first 2 recommended parts - a new dryer cycling thermostat and dryer thermal fuse. I replaced them and now the dryer doesn't heat at all. )-: I dug out my multimeter and tested all of the fuses in the back, and they're all fine. Could the element have gone out while the fuse still tests OK? I'm hesitant to pull that part off. Having read the comments here - could it be the timer? How would I test it with the multimeter?

1 Answer

Dan, you will want to test the element for continuity just to make sure that it is still good. On the timer, with the power turned off you can turn the timer to auto regular, then you will want to test between the white and blue wire connection and the orange wire connections at the timer with the wires off. You should have continuity between the two points. If you do not have continuity, then your timer W10894766 would need to be changed out.

Tom for Model Number MEDC200XW1

Is there a video for removing and replacing the Timer (AP6027508)? I'm having an issue with no heat but the dryer runs so I just replaced the heating element and Dryer Thermal cut-off and the element did not heat up. I took a multi meter and checked for continuity through out and all were good. The Time reads 120 V, but I applied a little pressure to one side of the time knob and the element started to work. Then when the pressure was off the knob the element shut off. So would this meant that the issue is with the Timer?

1 Answer

Tom, If you use a putty knife under the front corners of the control panel which would push a spring clip then lift up the control panel and roll it up.

Gabriel, For a proper diagnosis, we would need you to please verify the model number from the units' I.D. tag since it will not come up for us as a valid model number.

Hello Kevin, This is an indication that there is a ducting issue. You see, the unit is not designed to have much back pressure from the ducting. When there is a ducting restriction, (crimp, clog, or excessively long duct), the heat, lint, and moisture are blown past the drum seals which are made of felt, right back into the cabinet of the unit where it is circulated back across the clothes. Due to the fact that the unit is sensing the moisture, it continues to run because the moisture is trapped in the unit and cannot escape. Correcting the ducting will normally correct this issue without any parts for the dryer being necessary.

Rodney, This issue would be most likely caused by a bad timer if the unit goes past the off position. If the timer gets to off and stops moving then the centrifugal switch would be faulty on this issue.

Hello Nathan, You should check the terminal block 279320 for loose and/or burned connections. If good, there is most likely a bad set of contacts in the timer assembly W10894766.
