Hello, having trouble with the sensor on the dryer, does not light up and tell you any time. The dryer runs but shut off and the clothes are not dry. Inconsistent
For model number MDE5500AYW

Hi Michael, thank you for your question. Looking at your model information there are a few parts that you should take out and test to see which one is giving you the issue. The first parts to check in this case would be all of your thermostats and thermal fuses. You can test those parts with a multi meter and they should be reading 0 ohms to be working correctly. If those parts are fine, you should then go on to testing your heating element as well. You can also test that with a multi meter and it should be reading between 0 - 50 ohms. Something else you should also check would be your filter and ducts. Make sure there is absolutely no blockage that would restrict air flow in your appliance. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Dryer keeps turning off when started showing a code pf then we can restart and it will run sometimes taking a few times
For model number MDE5500AYW
PartSelect logo
Hello and thank you for writing. The PF is a power failure code and it indicates the control is not sensing any voltage. The PF could be caused by a voltage drop during a storm but you should be able to clear it and run the dryer. We suggest to try a hard reset: Go to your breaker box and shut the breakers for your unit off, wait 5 minutes and then turn the breaker to on again. That should hopefully clear this problem. If this does not fix this problem then your control panel PS2036215 might be faulty and possibly needs to be replaced. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime.

Dryer randomly beeps for no reason. Sometimes 3 time in a row, no pattern or related events have been noticed elsewhere in the house. Happens various times through the day and night. Wife has started to turn the breaker off at night in order to keep it from waking us up. I am at the point I just want to disconnect it but it looks like it is mounted directly on the control board. Any suggestions?
For model number MDE5500AYW
PartSelect logo
Hello Nelson, Thank you for the question. Normally this is a indication of a Defective Electronic Control Board. I looked up the part and it is listed as No Longer Available/Discontinued sorry. There are no part substitutions listed. Our suggestion here would be to call the manufacturer and see if they can provide you with a substitution for these part numbers. We hope this helps.
