My dryer will stop during the drying cycle but my clothes are not dry.
For model number MEDB855DW3
Hi Kristin, thank you for reaching out. If your dryer stops during the drying cycle and your clothes are not dry, there could be several potential causes:
1. Overheating: The dryer may be overheating, causing it to shut off. Check for lint buildup in the lint screen and exhaust vent, as this can restrict airflow and cause overheating.
2. Thermal Fuse: A blown thermal fuse can cause the dryer to stop mid-cycle. This is a safety feature that prevents the dryer from overheating. If the thermal fuse is blown, replace it with part number PS11766766.
3. Motor Issues: The motor may be overheating or failing, causing the dryer to stop. This can be due to wear and tear or a mechanical issue.
We hope this solves your problem!
The issue was the idler pulley. First I began opening up the front panel based on a youtube video but soon realized the model was slightly different and required a lot more items to remove. I saw the pulley in the back with nothing in the way so I put the front panel crap back on and removed the rear panel. There it was, very simple to remove and replace. I'm not looking forward to drum rollers though. Hopefully they're aren't as difficult as they appear.
I purchased the dryer repair kit with the drum belt, wheels and idler pulley. I watched the instructional videos online and it seemed fairly straight forward. Breaking down the dryer and replacing the pulleys was easy enough. My problem began when I tried to feed the drum belt around the idler pulley. After finishing the job, the dryer would not turn and the sensor light stayed on. I thought something else was broken with the dryer and spent hours trouble shooting other problems that I was having. Finally I figured out that the drum belt was not installed correctly around the idler pulley. However, I could not get it properly installed from the front of the machine so I tried from the rear still with no avail. I finally had to fish the old belt out of the garbage can that I had thrown away earlier. I lined up the old belt with the new one in the kit and discovered that the new belt was much smaller, so I put the old one back on the drum. Here's the lesson I learned...make sure the belts are the same size before attempting to install. The old idler was responsible for the squeaking and that stopped but I am still using the same old drum belt. Hope it lasts.
1) Disconnected power cord from wall. 2) Disconnected vent hose from back of dryer. 3)Removed dryer rear panel. 4)Disengaged tension spring on idle wheel arm. 5) Removed worn idle wheel. 6)Installed new Idler wheel assembly. 7) Vacuumed dust from rear of dryer (optional, recommended). 8) Reinstalled rear cover, vent hose and power cord. Easy repair 15-30
