The dryer turns on just fine. When selecting the cycle it all works. Then it say “sensing”, which is normal. Then it doesn’t do anything. I’ve checked power and everything listed on the manufacturer website, it’s all good. I will admit that a load of really wet towels we put in and that probably what messed it up. There was water in the lint trap. I tried drying it out.
For model number WED5100HW1
Hello Bart, thank you for contacting us. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the door switch, part number PS16620385, to solve the problem. We hope this helps.
Hello Cindy, thank you for the question. Inspect the vents. Restricted airflow causes the dryer to overheat and trip safety fuses. Check the thermal fuse, part number PS11766766. If the dryer overheats (often from a clogged vent), this fuse blows to stop heat. Check for continuity with a multimeter; if it doesn't beep, replace it. If this does not help, the issue could be with the heating element, part number PS11741416. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this is what you were looking for!
How to thoroughly clean the lint trap and put the cover back on afterwards
For model number WED5100HW1
Hello Naomi, thank you for getting in touch. Pull the lint screen from its holder. The lint screen can be found in the door opening of the dryer. Press down on the tab at the front and open the lint screen. Use your fingers to roll off the lint from the screen. Avoid rinsing or washing the screen to eliminate lint, as wet lint is difficult to remove. If there is significant buildup or debris on the lint screen, a soft brush or a dry cloth can be used to gently clear it away. Use a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush to eliminate any lint or debris that may have gathered in the lint trap housing. After cleaning the lint trap, firmly push it back into its holder. Ensure that it is securely positioned and that the tab is closed. We hope this helps.
Hello Thadis, thank you for your question. If you are looking for a dry rack for this model, it is part number PS1487158. If you would like assistance placing an order, please contact customer service. Good luck with your repair!
Hi Terry, thank you for the question. First, insert a putty knife under the front corners to unlock the tabs and then raise the top. The front is then held in place by screws which you may need to unthread to remove the front panel. Let us know if you have further questions!

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.
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 re
