Probably same as model wtmc3300us/01. Dryer constantly going off on lint filter alarm, filter clean,dryer vent clean. No error codes. Thinking moisture sensor or thermistor but not sure which it would be.Any help appreciated!
For model number WTMC3300US-01
Hello Jim, thank you for your question. Yes, the issue would probably with with either of those parts. We would recommend testing both parts to determine if one is faulty. First you want to ensure there is no debris around the sensor, and that the NTC terminal connectors are not loose, it might be as simple as tightening the connection or cleaning the senor. If everything appears to be in working order and it is still not functioning properly you can test this part at room temperature with a multi-meter. The thermistor should read 9-11K ohms at 77° per the manufacturer. I hope this helps!

Remove 4 screws on plastic cover of hinge that connects to the door. An assistant will come in handy at this point to hold the door. Then remove 2 screws holding hinge. Push up on hinge and pull out to remove hinge bracket. Hinge pins has plastic covers that need to be in place before attaching to the door. A small amount of vaseline will hold them in place.
Did a quick on line search of the problem and found the Limiter Switch is normally the solution.....loaded the model number in the PartSelect data base and received the correct part the next day (standard shipping)! Replaced the part in about 45 mins and works perfectly. While I was ordering the Limiter switch I figured it was a good time to replace the drum light bulb as well. Again, perfect match. Great experience with PartSelect, will be sure to use them again!
