The dryer runs and heats up but takes a long time to dry the clothes. Just doesn’t seem like it is getting hot enough
Hi Jim,
Thank you for your question. If your dryer is taking too long to dry, check both the lint filter and the exhaust vent to make sure that they are not clogged with lint. If they are, they will need to be cleaned. If your vent has a lot of bends in it, make sure these areas are thoroughly cleaned. If the vent and the ling filter are fine, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check blower wheel and clamp, the belt, the cycling thermostat, the high limit thermostat, the front and rear drum felt seal, the drum support rollers and the door seal. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!
I push the washer start button anode hear a humming sound for a couple seconds then nothing.Is it the timer that needs replaced
Hello Ed, thank you for reaching out. If your washer is making a humming sound, we suggest that you check the drive motor, part number PS3500893, and blower wheel, part number PS2200270. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!
the dryer was working perfect finished drying a load of clothes. i tried to turn it on and nothing happened is there a fuse somewhere ?
Hi Gregory, thank you for reaching out. Based on our research, we would recommend checking the thermal fuse, part number PS11740678. It shuts off the motor if the dryer overheats. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this sorts out your problem!

Removed the front cover (screws on bottom 0f face)...removed blower cover....spring pliers to remove and install blower fan. the rest of the time was spent cleaning the inside of the shell as well as the vent. Reassembled and dryer runs better than it has for many years.
Unplugged dryer. Front came off easily. Removed front of blower. Wheel came off fairly easily - could then see that shaft of motor was circular with flattened side but inside of old wheel was rounded. New wheel popped right on. Took tumbler off so I could clean lint out more easily and get a good view of how the belt threaded through

So far (a week or so) the rumble is gone. Seems blower wheel was the cause of the rumble. Belt didn't seem worn but replaced anyhow.
