The dryer has no power
For model number MED6230HW1
Hello Manu, thank you for getting in touch. We believe your dryer is having this problem because of a thermal fuse. The thermal fuse shuts off power to the dryer if it overheats. If the thermal fuse blows, it will prevent the dryer from starting. To determine if the thermal fuse is defective, use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity. If the thermal fuse does not have continuity, replace the fuse, part number PS11766766. Also, inspect the door switch. The door switch prevents the dryer from running while the door is open. If the door switch is defective, the switch will prevent the dryer from running even when the door is closed. To determine if the door switch is at fault, use a multimeter to test the switch for continuity and replace the defective door switch, part number PS11728120. If the problem still persists, we recommend replacing the control board, part number PS16543591, to fix the issue. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

Hi David, thank you for reaching out. According to our research, we recommend checking the drive belt, part number PS11722115. If the drive belt is not broken or worn out, we suggest checking the idler pulley, part number PS334244. If both the drive belt and the idler pulley are good, you may need to check the drive motor, part number PS334287. If the motor is faulty, replace the drive motor. Thank you for the inquiry, good luck with the repair!
Hi David, thank you for the question. According to our research, there are a couple of parts causing this issue in your appliance. You need to check the dryer high limit thermostat, part number PS334387, thermistor, part number PS11746740, and the drive belt, part number PS11722115. Test all these parts with a multimeter for continuity. Replace any of these if any are found to be defective. If all these parts are good, then there may be an issue with the electronic control board, part number PS16543591. You need to replace it. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!
Remove the kick plate from the bottom of the dryer by sliding a putty knife along the top edge to release the plastic clamps, one on each side about 4" in from the edges. The kick plate folds out and down. You will see the heat shield on the right, held in by one hex head screw. Remove screw and heat shield. The element is positioned in a
... Read moren open-front housing and is fastened to the left side of the housing by two hex head screws, located on the "rail" of the element and right near the two wires. Remove the hex-head screws that hold the element in place and disconnected the two wires by pulling them out by hand or with needle nose pliers. The only difficulty here is the cramped working area...I recommend a stubby socket driver for these two screws. Most of this I had to do by feel because I could not see the screw heads. Once the screws are out and the wires have been disconnected, slide the old element straight out toward you. You may need to disconnect a small plastic hose located to the left front of the element, but this hose just pulls right off. Vacume the dust & lint build-up out of the whole area, wipe out the element housing and clean up the whole underside of the dryer prior to installing the new element. Installation is reverse of removal. It also might be a good opportunity to clean out your exhaust duct and the vent to the outside. (Never use the aluminum foil-accordian-type duct.) If the exterior dryer vent has any kind of screen over it, remove it and get rid of it. Screens collect lint, lint builds up and burns out elements.
I simply removed the back of the dryer to gain access to the heating element. Once I removed the heating element I figured I would also replace the thermostat and thermal fuse as preventive maintenance.
