Dryer getting to hot. Replaced thermal fuse and thermostat. Noticed that one of the wires that plug into the heating element is melted.
For model number WED9500TW2
PartSelect logo
Hello Chad, thank you for your question. If the wires that plug into the heating element have melted, I would definitely replace this wire kit. You may want to test the element as well, just in case the excessive heat damaged the element as well as the wire. I hope this helps!

My dryer worked great before we moved then it seemed like it took too long to dry. I just thought it was the vent because it was three times as long and it was stopped up. I cleaned the vent the best I could and seemed like it was better. Well now it does not heat. I found the element burned in two. The limits on the top and bottom of the chute are closed. Should I replace those as well or are there other parts you recommend replacing with the element
For model number MED6400TQ0
PartSelect logo
Hi Brad, Thank you for the question. I suggest replacing the limits as well as the element. When the element burnt up it may have blew the limits. Good luck with the repair!

I have heater element #279838 which replaced #8565582. #279838 has 2 connections while the original #8565582 has 3 connections. So how do I connect the new part?

I have a Whirlpool duet and the heating element wire has burned out 2x already. To give you a little background the machine occasionally makes a high pitched metal scratching sound. The last time it make this sound, the dryer no longer produced heat. It runs through the cycle and the lights work, but no heat. Before i pay for the repair, would you have any idea what is causing the wire to burn out?
For model number WED9400SU0
PartSelect logo
Hi Beth, Thank you for your question. The reason the wire burned is because of a loose connection between the wire element and the heating element connection. You will need to replace the heating element and the connection wire. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Is this wire the same as the one that goes from the heating element to the thermal cutoff?
For model number WED9400SU0
PartSelect logo
Hello Chris, Thank you for the question. This wire is just listed to connect the element. Sadly, the part you are requesting we do not have listed. We strongly recommend you contact the manufacturer, as they would have this information in their system. Ask them for the part number you require and contact back to see if it is something we carry. We hope this helps.

Replaced heating core kit, dryer still not getting hot.
For model number MEDC200XW1
PartSelect logo
Hi Ralph, thank you for contacting us. There are several reasons why your dryer may not be heating correctly. Some situations that may cause your dryer to not heat properly include a lack of power, an issue with the size of the load, or its wetness. Otherwise, the following parts need to be checked to solve this issue: thermal cut-off kit, part number PS334299, drive motor, part number PS334304, and heating element connection wire kit, part number PS334206. We hope this sorts out your problem!

My dryer is flashing the code F23 and the clothes are very hot. What does the code mean?
For model number WED9500TW2
PartSelect logo
Hello Chad, Thanks for your question. The F23 error code is due to an exhaust thermistor short. You will want to replace the internal-bias thermostat, part number PS11746740, to fix this issue. I hope this helps.

The wire nut on the heating element connection wire kit, is it just plastic? Not a ceramic wire nut?
For model number REX5634KQ1
PartSelect logo
Hello Terry, thank you for your question. From the picture and description the wire nut is plastic not ceramic. This is what is recommended by the manufacturer directly. I hope this helps!
