I have replaced the thermal fuse & thermistor that are located next to the blower & also the exhaust & checked inside the dryer for lint build up. Our dryer will run now but it gets extremely hot & the clothes will be too hot to touch at the end of the cycle. With the bottom panel off, the element turns red & then will be black (back & forth) so i assume it is working. Not sure if you think i need a thermal cutoff (280148) or thermostat (8557403). Any advice would be appreciated. Trying to get this fixed myself... thanks!!!

The thermal cut-off (fuse) is meant to trip at a higher temperature than that of a high limit thermostat. This is a one time use fuse, so when it does trip, you must replace it. Hope this helps!

Hi, my dryer is producing no heat. Lint trap is clean. Dryer thermal fuse ps11741460 has .7 ohms resistance. Internal bias thermostat ps11746740 is 11.78 kilo ohms. Thermostat ps11746386 is 11 ohms, and thermal cut-off with high limit thermostat is 7.9 ohms and 0 ohms. Any recommendations? All done at room temp.
For model number YWED9400SW0
Hello Same, Thank you for the question. I suggest testing the element, PartSelect Number PS11746337. The ideal reading for a tumble dryer element is between 20 and 50 ohms - so any reading significantly outside of this range means the element is faulty and needs to be replaced. Hope this helps!

Where does this part attach to my appliance. I have been told it is on top, after i remove the main metal plate cover. I am hoping that is it, because if not I'm going to have to buy the entire board, because i have replaced everything, but this part so far in regards to temp.
For model number WED9600TA1
Hi Candie, Thank you for the question. These parts attach to the heating element housing. Hope this helps!

Dryer won't start due to a shoe that got stuck in the drum while it was working. So i assumed it was because it got stuck so the dryer stopped automatically and it tripped that fuse if am correct. Would you able to tell me where i can find that fuse and how to get to it.Thank you

Hello Joel, Thank you for your question. The fuse for your model is under part PS11741444 for your model and it is located near the exhaust duct of the dryer. We hope this helps.

Went to Kenmore website, got parts diagram, watched You Tube videos on dryer repair for this model, ordered parts. When parts arrived (in 4 days, great job!), re-watched You Tube videos, installed parts, dryer works great. Took longer than industry standards because I had to suction out/vacuum a great deal of lint/hair. as I went along.
