Whirlpool WP3405281 Power Relay (48 Vdc Coil) 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.

I have an old Kenmore Elite gas dryer which was extremely noisy. Research brought me to the conclusion to replace the drum support rollers and the idler pulley assembly. Instead of just replacing the idler pulley I decided to purchase the assembly since it had a new shaft which I was concerned was worn too. I found a video for my exact model elsewhere. My model is much older than those included on this site. When replacing the drum support rollers I applied some Super Lube to the shafts. I did the same for the idler pulley shaft too. I bought four Tri-Rings just in case I needed them. I did not since the ones there were fine and did not break. I also bought just the idler pulley just in case I wanted to go that route and replace just it instead of the assembly. Upon inspection of my assembly I did not like how the pulley was spinning so I decided to replace the whole assembly. In my order I also ordered a relay but that was for a different problem with the dryer. My dryer was turning off intermittently before the cycle was done. My specific symptom was that when the dryer quit if I held in the start button the drum would spin but once I released it it would stop. There are two relays used (same part) and one of them is for the motor. Replacing that one solved that problem.
