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.

I did not bother to troubleshoot the original parts. After 20 years I figured that I should just replace them both. The hardest part of the repair was determining how to access the control panel. Once that was done, it was merely a matter of 5 minutes to swap out the parts. The relay simply screwed in. The switch as designed for easier, non screw, replacement, pointing out that they expected this switch to fail and need to be easily replaced.
