Whirlpool WP3405281 Dryer Power Relay OEM Part

Googled the issue and was told to replace the motor relay. I ordered new relay form App. Parts Pros and it arrived in less than 2 days. After some relatively simple dis assembly of the dryer I replaced the relay. Dryer works fine now.

There are 2 relays inside the upper console,one to start the gas burner and one to keep the tumbler motor spinning.Switch the 2 relays to determine if that is your problem then purchase and replace the relay. 5 minutes and you are done.

Replaced relay under control panel

First things first checked for proper voltage at outlet which was ok . I then accessed the heater and checked it as well as the thermals which were ok . Ran dryer to find no voltage from heater relay verified by switching heater relay with motor relay as they are the same unit then heated but motor would stay running .i ordered the part mid afternoon and received it next morning the staff at appliance parts pros are excellent at assisting the customer.I recommend them to everyone looking for parts.

This is an older Kenmore gas dryer we keep in the finished lower level for guest use. I have relied on Appliance Parts Pros twice before, once for the part to convert it to propane use, then more recently to replace a start relay (would only run when start button held in). This time I replaced the heat relay (same part as the start relay) and that solved the issue. Easy to do in ten minutes or so once you know how to access the control panel. Part arrived within 24 hours from the time ordered.
