dryer comer on movers a few inches and stops.i have thetop off and i don't see any obstrutions
For model number EIED55HIW0
Hello Frankie, thank you for your inquiry. You may need to check the door switch, part number PS2330879. If it is faulty, then replace it to fix the issue. Glad to be of assistance!
1. Door switch has a red and black lead does it matter how these are wired?
2. An electric spark occurred after I installed the switch. On top of the machine right hand side there is a connector with several wires entering. The last towards the rear red and black same as switch. On the connector strip is a small gray box. The spark seemed to come from either those two wires or that box. Could be a fuse or switch?
For model number EIED55HIW0
Hi Frankie,
Thank you for your question. When installing the door switch, it is important to note where each wire is attached on the old door switch before removing and installing the new door switch. It is also important to note how the door switch is oriented before removing it. The black wire should be fastened to the top prong on the door switch and the red/orange wire should be attached to the bottom terminal. We hope this helps!

Hello Frankie, thank you for your inquiry. E71 is a problem with the outlet thermistor. Check for a bad connection or shorted wire to the thermistor. If all checks out fine, replace this thermistor PS2349280. We hope this sorts out your problem!
Error code e63 what can this be and what parts do i need?
For model number EIED55HIW0
Hi Martha. This means the motor is overloaded. Try to remove some clothing from the dryer if this does not work check the wiring to the main control board and motor. Clean out the lint filter and vent house/exhaust opening. If this does not work it may be a bad control board or thermistor. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.
Hello Danny, thank you for contacting us. The E64 error code indicates that either the heating element or its wiring is problematic. We would recommend checking the wiring of the element and testing the element, part number PS2349309, for continuity. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of help!
When I described the noise to a YouTube appliance diagnostician, I was directed to check the felt seals front and back of the rotating drum for wear, tears, or foreign objects. As it happens the felt seals looked find and there were foreign objects so, not wanting to disassemble and reassemble the dryer more than I had, I ended up replacing all the replaceable moving parts that I considered possible culprits: The idler tension spring, the idler tension bracket (which includes a nylon pulley wheel), the drum belt, the five rubber-tipped bearings that support the drum and keep it in place, and the foam seal on the blower housing which seemed a little brittle and old, as well as high-temperature adhesive for the latter. The instructional videos here and on YouTube were extremely helpful (I doubt that I would have attempted this job at all, had I not watched these ahead of time). The most time-consuming aspect was waiting for the arrival of the parts as I didn't order them all at the same time or all from the same place (I ordered from whomever could ship me a given part the fastest. Disassembly took less than an hour. Re-assembly with the new parts in place took about the same but was a little more awkward because this appliance sits in a very narrow closet and it's difficult to ensure that the 4" flexible duct stays in place when sliding the appliance back into the closet. No regrets. Now I know the basics if this dryer needs attention in future and I also know all the parts that I can eliminate as suspects in any future maintenance (the parts that I replaced)
Removed back of dryer with electric nut driver. Lots of screws. Removed old heating element to better access wires and thermostats. Removed baffle at end and transferred to new heater element. Transferred thermostats to new element, reconnected wiring in correct order. Installed new heater element in correct position using tab to locate. Replaced back of dryer. Reconnected dryer vent. Toughest part was squeezing out of space after reconnecting dryer vent. Unfortunately, too short for my weight.
By undoing the single screw which holds the sensor in place, the old one falls off. To replace: simply pop the two wires on their connections (small metal studs on the back), slide clip/wire end of sensor in place and replace the screw. You are back in business! Very simple repair that a DIY can save a ton!
