The dryer has power but continues to say "sensing" and won't start the drum.
For model number WED6600VW0
Hello, Thank you for your question. There are a few parts that can cause this issue. You will want to check the sensor pad, and the control board. Those parts typically are the cause of this error. We hope this helps.
Loud squealing noise from dryer. How do i remove the drums to replace belt?
For model number WED6600VW0
Hello Robert, Thank you for the question. We suggest watching the How to Video attached for replacing the Belt. Please submit a new question if you have any follow ups. We are looking forward to hearing from you!
Hello Christina, thank you for contacting us. There could be several reasons why your Whirlpool dryer is not producing heat consistently. Here are a few possibilities:
1. The heating element, part number PS334313, may be damaged or malfunctioning.
2. The thermal sensing system may be faulty or not functioning properly. We would recommend checking the thermostat, part number PS11746740, the thermal cut-out kit, part number PS1964653, and the thermal fuse, part number PS11741460.
3. The dryer's venting system may be blocked, preventing proper airflow and hindering the drying process. We would recommend cleaning the vents.
4. The dryer's lint filter may be clogged, which can reduce the flow of air and affect the dryer's performance. Please inspect and clean the lint filter, part number PS11746639.

I have replaced 3 parts; Heater, Thermal fuse and thermostat. Still have a F1 code showing.
For model number WED6600VW0
Hello Carol, thank you for reaching out. The Whirlpool dryer F1 error code indicates that there is a problem with the dryer's control board, part number PS11748355. Check the dryer's wiring for any loose or damaged wires. If the issue remains, you might need to replace the control board. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week!
After replacing fuse, thermal cut-out, thermister, and thermostat, the dryer heats fine, but has no control and gets very hot, blowing the fuse over and over. Could the control board W 10169881 or electronic control board WPW1011616 be needed to control the temp?
For model number WED6600VW0
Hello Ron, thank you for reaching out. We have concluded that the issue is with the electronic control board, part number PS11748355. We hope this solves 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.
To reach the heating element you only need to open the back cover of the dryer (about 8 nut-head screws). Remember to disconnect the power.
To remove the heating element there are two small nut-head screws. Remove the two electric wires. Then you can pull the heating element away.
You can check the heating element with an ohm-meter or visually inspect it to see if the heating element spiral wire is broken.
Don't hurry to dispose the old element. My model includes a small electric safety part. You'll need to transfer it to the new heating element (that comes without it)..
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.
