It will turn on, blow air, tumble, etc just not produce heat. Would this be thermostat or heating element? It's only about a year to 18 mths old
For model number WED5100HW1
PartSelect logo
Hello Jennifer, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, the issue is most probably with the internal bias thermostat, part number PS11746740. It attaches on the blower housing, and monitors and helps regulate the temperature inside the dryer. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. Glad to be of assistance!

Our dryer doesn’t get hot suddenly. How can I determine if heater or thermal fuse or other part causes the problem? Thanks!
For model number WED87HEDW1
PartSelect logo
Hello Rebecca, thank you for contacting us. The issue is most probably related to the thermostat, part number PS11746740. You can also check it with a multimeter; it should read 10K ohms resistance at room temperature. Using a multimeter you can also check the heating element, thermal fuse, and high-limit thermostat by performing a continuity test. A faulty part does not have a continuous path in them. We hope this information helps!

What should be ohm resistance value for the thermal fuse? I'm getting 00.2. I'm seeing a little over 12k ohms on the internal bias thermostat. Thank you in advance.
For model number WGD75HEFW0
PartSelect logo
Hello Steve, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, the thermal fuse should be reading near zero ohms across it. If you get a large resistance, it has opened and needs to be replaced. Also, the thermostat should read 10K ohms (10,000 ohms) of resistance at room temperature. It can tolerate a 10% fluctuation. According to your data, the thermostat is faulty. We recommend you replace the thermostat, part number PS11746740. We hope this information helps!

My dryer turns on starts drying only to shut off after 10 to 15 minutes later
For model number Wed560lhw2
PartSelect logo
Hi Charles, thank you for reaching out. Based on our research, we would recommend checking the moisture sensor, part number PS11741408. It helps detect the amount of moisture in your clothes during the dryer cycle. If the level of moisture gets too high, it tells the control board to turn the dryer off. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this information helps!

Dryer turns on and operates fine, tumbles but no heat. Replaced Heating Element WP3387747 & Thermostat WP8577274. Still no heat. Thermal fuse?
For model number MED8630HC1
PartSelect logo
Hello Tom, thank you for contacting us. As you have already replaced the heating element and the thermostat. Before replacing the thermal fuse, we would recommend replacing the thermal cut-off with a high limit thermostat, part number PS991443, to solve the problem. It shuts off the heat if the dryer overheats. Glad to be of assistance!
