WGD5610XW1 Whirlpool Dryer - Instructions

Just follow the video by Parts Select., The repair is really easy.

Power off by removing plug from wall outlet. Remove two Phillips screws under lint screen filter door. (careful you don't drop them down the filter housing) Pry upper lid loose at both front corners and elevate and retain the lid vertically. Separate old 3 wire switch connector splice halves at upper right housing corner. Remove two Phillips screws at upper right corner of outer front doorway which hold switch. Install new switch with those two screws. Re-connect the connector splice halves; they are keyed for one direction. Close down lid. Plug in power cord.

Per video demonstration offered in web. Very simple. Thanks for your help.

Video showed 3 ways to remove the top section to access the switch. None of which worked on my unit. Instead there were 4 screws on the rear section of the control panel that had to be removed and then lift it past the top of unit to slide forward to remove top to access the switch after that all was the same as video.

I googled the main reasons why a dryer wont start. Ordered the suggested parts and went through them one by one. Replaced thermal fuse as it was said this was a main reason it wont turn on. Kept the new fuse in as I believe it was the original. Then I went to the door switch when I compared them I knew I had found the cause. I replace the door switch then plugged it back in and success. I took it a step a time. .

Watched the tutorial online. Took the back off- replaced the fuse. Put the back on . It was extremely easy !!

Removed power (un plugged), removed two screws on back top of cover allow top to lift up on installed holders., used screw driver at right front and left front to push in the locks on the plastic holders and lifted top and held up with board. Removed two screws holding the switch and disconnect it from the connector and installed the new switch, and connected to connector back up, removed board, lowered top aligned with the two alignment clips and pressed down to lock in place. Replaced the two screw removed from back, plugged back in the power and test the repair.

Not a handyman but this was an easy and cheap fix. Now the automatic settings are working and drying much faster. Unplug machine, front panel has 2 spring clips toward the edges that you stick a flat tool into and pull on the panel to open. Pull off the electrical connections from the old sensors by the right side of the lint screen. Needlenose pliers help with the one farther up there. Then just pull the old ones sensors out, stick the new ones in, reconnect the electrical and get ready to live the good life with dry clothes that don't smell musty.

Replace the switch in diagram #4.

Once I watched a YouTube video showing me how to do the job I ordered the part from you. Am so impressed with your fast shipping and best prices via the Internet. Thank you SO much! The water level switch was easy to install, it ws getting the cover on the washer back on that was hard for me since I am 68 yrs old and have a bad knee. Its why it took me two hours to do what most people could do in 20 minutes.

When the part came in. I unplugged the dryer. Pulled it away from the wall and took the back off. I pulled the wires off the old fuse and plugged them in the new fuse, then unscrewed the on nut that held the old fuse. Then slid the new one in and put the nut back on. Plugged the dryer in and it worked. So I unplugged the dryer and put the back on.

Removed the back panel, found the fuse and replaced it. Easiest thing I've ever done! I was expecting it not to be the problem, but I started with the "most common" issue via the website. Voila...it was the problem!

little more than vedio showed has a see thru door had to tke door off machine then was easy replacement and re install

Unlike your video, with this model, the thermal fuse is located near the front of the dryer, which I didn't find out until the back was already off.

Follow your instructions. Thank You
