Our dryer is running but not drying clothes, we were told it may be the heating element there anything else that could be causing this?
For model number WED5600XW1
Hi Emily, thank you for the question. First, you need to make sure that the dryer vents are clean. A dryer vent that is clogged with lint will restrict airflow to the dryer and increase drying times. If the vents are not blocked, then you may need to check the thermistor, part number PS11746740, because if the thermistor is faulty, the dryer may not heat at all. If the thermistor is not faulty, then the issue may be due to the drive motor, part number PS334287. Most drive motors have a centrifugal switch that energizes a start winding when the motor is first started and closes a heat cycle contact to allow the heat source to work. If the centrifugal switch is faulty, either the motor will not run or the motor will run but the dryer will not heat, and the entire motor will need to be replaced. If the problem persists, then you may need to check the heating element, part number PS11741416. We hope this sorts out your problem!
First I unplugged the dryer, then removed the back panel, this exposed most all of the wiring and I could see the heater coils. Not knowing what the problem was I started looking at the coils and could not see any broken parts. So then checked the thermal fuse for continuity I removed the two wires from it with a small pair of needle nose pliers, it was held in place by two screws, once they were removed the fuse came out easily, I checked continuity with a volt meter placing the meter on X1 Ohms and could not get a reading. I replaced with a new one and put it all back together the way I took it apart. Then I plugged it in and it worked first time, I now have warm dry clothes.
Cleaning the lint out of the whole machine took quite a bit of time--it was everywhere. Underneath the lint trap was a collection that ultimately ruined the thermal fuse where it restricted the air flow considerably.
Ascertaining the problem was the most time consuming part.
The actual repair was quite simple and didn't take but 15-20 minutes.
