Bryan October 08, 2013 for Model Number 110.66812690 Replaced heater element, now when you set dial element heats up and doesn't turn off. Anything else need replaced?

Heather October 04, 2013 for Model Number Wed6200sw0 Turned on cold dryer and it immediately started making a funny noise then shut itself off. The display was still on. I smelled a strong electrical burning smell so I unplugged it. Does this sound like it is just a heating element that needs replaced?
1 Answer Hello Heather. Make sure the tub turns freely. It sounds like it is in a bind and was over heating the motor. Read More...
John September 30, 2013 for Model Number leb6000kq0 I think I have to replace the heating element and when I took it apart I noticed one of the wires that connects the thermostat to the heating element is burnt or frayed at the thermostat end and I believe it needs to be replaced. It is the connection that has two wires that connects to one into the thermostat. The color of one wire is orange and the other is a red and white mix color. Can I order that wire?
1 Answer Hello John. Not without ordering the wiring harness. You can order a new end TJMA02881-1 and crimp it onto the wire. Make sure you cut out any of the burnt section of the wire. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Corey. Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Check and make sure the unit is not set to Air Fluff. Also check the heater and thermostats and see if they are good. You can test these with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. 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...
Steve September 14, 2013 for Model Number WED5840SW0 The heating element comes on even if the dryer has not started. As soon as I turn the dial to a stating, the heating element is on before I press the start button. The dryer does not start, it just ticks the timer away and kicks in the heater. No spinning or blower. What do I need to check.
1 Answer Hello Steve. You need to check and see if the element is grounded and touching the frame of the unit. If so, it will cause the issue you are having. Read More...

Terri September 10, 2013 for Model Number LEC68481N2 I enter the model number but my heating element looks different than the one that came up. I had to remove the entire casing, undo one screww and slide out the heating element. I also had to disconnect 6 wires, not three and the thermostate is attached to the outside casing. Can you tell me where I can find this heating element? Also, is there a way to test this heating element once it has been removed?
1 Answer Terri, the element you're looking for is WP4391960 and you may need to order a couple of additional parts "Dryer Heating Element, 240v 5200w. As Of Late 2011 Adapter Wires # 279457 279457 Are No Longer Included W/Element 9If needed order 2). Once you've removed the element from the heater case, you can visually inspect the wire for breaks and shorted areas (especially in the insulator area) or place a a VOM meter leads across the two terminals, with the meter set at R1 or the lowesr resistance setting you should read a "closed" circuit. To replace the heating element. Pull unit out and unplug the power cord. Remove the rear cover on the dryer. The heating element will be on the right side when looking from the back. The duct will have 2 screws at the bottom to remove. Remove the screws and slide the element out the bottom of the duct. Install in reverse order. Read More...

Paul August 31, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool electric dryer model # LER7646EQ0 Hi, The dryer stopped heating. I believe it is the heating element. I want to buy the part from you but after watching the video which is very good, I need to know if maybe its the fuse inside the dryer? Thanks in advance!
1 Answer Hello Paul, Check and make sure you have 240 volts coming to the dryer. Check and make sure the unit is not set to Air Fluff. Also check the thermal fuse, heater, and thermostats and see if they are good. Make sure to dis-connect one wire to each component before testing to ensure you are not reading resistqance through the circuit. You can test these with a multi-meter MA-DM1. They should read closed for continuity. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
