Mary January 26, 2017 for Model Number WED5500SQ0 We had a catastrophic failure of the heating element to include a small burn on the floor. House circuit breaker did not trip! Ordered and installed a new heating element. Dryer does not start although the light goes on. What other parts might need replacing?
1 Answer Hello Mary. You will need to check and see if the thermal fuse WP3392519 is bad and will need to be replaced. 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...
John January 02, 2017 Ordered and replaced the heating element. Dryer runs but no heat. What else can I try. It is an older Whirlpool model brought in 1986. John
1 Answer John, You will want to check the thermostats on the unit to make sure that there is continuity on the thermostats and thermal fuse. If these check ok then There are 2 components other than the thermostats which would cause the heating element not to work. First is the motor and second the timer. The best option is to disconnect the power to the unit and access the heating element. Disconnect one wire that is going to the heating element, preferably the one on the thermostat side. Plug the unit back up and using a multimeter you will want to turn the dryer on and test for 120 vac at the terminal on the heater where the wire was disconnected. What this will do is eliminate the heater element itself and the motor. If there is 120 vac at this point then you know the heater is good and the motor is good because the other 120 vac coming through the thermostats is the timer side of the circuit. If there is not 120 vac at that point then you will want to test the other terminal on the heater and check for 120 vac. If there is not 120 vac then the motor would be bad . Read More...
Francis January 01, 2017 for Model Number TEDX640JQ1 TEDX640JQ0 DRYER WORKS FINE EXCEPT WHEN SET ON ANY TIMED DRY THE DIAL DOESN'T ADVANCE TO END OR STOP DRYER.
1 Answer Hello Francis. You will need to test for power to the timer motor. If there is power there, and the unit does not advance you will need to replace the timer on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Daniel December 27, 2016 for Model Number Wed4800xq1 Dryer was overheating clothes and then stopped heating good also when on auto dry cycle dial would never move and then it just stopped working all together.
1 Answer Daniel, With the dryer overheating then this will likely be caused by a faulty cycling thermostat that is not cycling the heater off properly. The part number for the thermostat is WP3387134. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Jay. It should read closed for continuity. 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...
