Dryer is hard to start, very touchie, i have to turn the drum i get a code e3 and f6
For model number WED8500DC1
Hello Lisa, thank you for your question. That error code is in relation to a communication between the electronic control board and user interface control has been lost. First unplug the dryer and check the wire harness between the electronic control board and the user interface control. Reconnect any loose wires. Replace the wire harness if damaged. Replace the user interface control. If the problem persists, replace the electronic control board. I hope this helps.

For model number WED8500DC1
Hello Jamie, thank you for contacting us. According to our research, the issue is most probably related to the dryer water valve, part number PS12578917. It controls the water flow into the dryer. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you require assistance placing an order. Thanks again for reaching out!
When we touch the power button , I hear the 3 chimes
When touch the start Button, the dryer will not start.
Also, when it finally started, the unit would shut down after several minuts
Timer goes from 35 min to 15 to 25 etc
Can you tell me what parts are needed
Thank You

Hello Robert, thank you for your inquiry. According to our research, we would recommend checking the control panel for any fault. If it is fine, then the issue is most probably with the control board, part number PS11757350. It manages the functions of the dryer such as drying time and temperature. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. Glad to be of assistance!
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.
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
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.
