Woody December 04, 2015 for Model Number Whirlpool LEQ9508WP1 Dryer completely died. Replaced the Thermal Fuse and have checked the electrical connections. Still dead! I have verified 220 volts across the red/black lugs on the back of the dryer from the power source and have checked with a probe all the visible accessible connections and have power at each connection. Kind of at a loss. Any suggestions of what would cause this condition? Your help will be much appreciated.
Adam October 10, 2015 for Model Number WGD5860SW0 About every third time I use my dryer it will kick off, but will turn back on when I apply a little pressure on the timer or slightly turn the timer. All signs (in my head) point to needing a new timer, but I thought I would ask before I purchase the part and that not be the issue. Thank you for any and all assistance.
1 Answer Adam, It sounds like a contact in the timer is what is causing it to kick off and the timer would be the part that you would want to replace. Read More...
Mikel August 08, 2015 for Model Number LGQ9558KQ1 When I turn the timer to the ahount of minutes I hear click click sometimes the dryer will start w/o pushing the start button. Also I open the door the drum keeps turning I have replaced the door switch. Thank you
1 Answer Mikel, It sounds like the issue with the unit will be caused by a centrifugal switch on the motor sticking. This would require the motor to be replaced. Read More...
J.M. May 14, 2015 No heat and no tumble. Tumble will function only during wrinkle guard. Whirlpool geq9800pw1 Thank you
1 Answer Hello J.M., This will either be the timer WP3406725 or the electronic moisture control WPW10476828. I'm sorry but this part WPW10476828 has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. Read More...
M D November 03, 2014 for Model Number LEN2000KT1 My dryer seems to heat and all options work well. However, after the dryer stops a cycle, the timer continues to tick and move forward. It will continue to tick forward forever, unless I open the dryer door or unplug the dryer. This wouldn't be such a concern, except sometimes, I will put the dryer on Auto Sense. It will complete the cycle, but the timer will continue to tick forward until it hits a timed cycle. Then dryer will start again and go through the timed cycle! Then the auto sense cycle, and continue on. Does this sound like an issue with the timer?
1 Answer M D, Yes, the timer advancing past the off position to the next cycle would be caused by a faulty timer in which the contacts are sticking. Read More...
Barbara September 06, 2014 for Model Number LEB6400KQ1 At first, the dryer stopped working in the acqu-dry phase, but would work on certain timed drying settings. Now it won't turn on at all. Help? Also, I can hear the ticking of the timer, if that matters.
1 Answer Barbara, Any time the dryer will not start at all the first thing to check is the thermal fuse on the blower housing. Test the fuse for continuity and test the door switch for continuity. If both of these check ok then the most likely reason for the unit not turning on would be a bad motor. Read More...

John G. April 25, 2014 for Model Number LEB6400LW0 when on accudry the cycle just shuts off without the clothes being dry. sometimes if you put it on the begining of the cycle it will start other times it wont, and you have to move the dial along the cycle to get it to start then it goes for a while and then just stops.

Ajay April 06, 2014 for Model Number geq9800pw1 Dryer not getting hot, fuse bad, replaced w/ thermo kit, cleaned out long 30 ft run, also replaced vent exit. 3 to 4 weeks fuse blown again, replaced once more. Only 3 days this time, also notice can no longer use the accu-dry settings just reg. time drying. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
1 Answer Ajay, You will want to double check the venting just to make sure that there is nothing clogging it. Also check the cycling thermostat to make sure that it is good. The two smaller terminals should have voltage to them when the heating element cycles off. It sounds like the cycling thermostat may be the issue especially since the accu-dry is not working.

Curt April 03, 2014 for Model Number LEQ9508PW1 This dryer is not heating, I ordered a new timer installed it and still no heat . all thermostats and heating element have continuity. what else could be the problem with this thing? Thank You for your time Curt
1 Answer Curt, If you have tested the thermostat, thermal fuse, heater and changed the timer, but the unit is still not drying then you will want to check the Terminal block to make sure that there is 240 vac getting to the terminal block. If this checks ok then the motor would most likely be the issue. Read More...
