When starting the dryer the “check filter” light comes on. The lint filter is clean. How do i check filter?
Hello Bob, thank you for your question. The display will show CHK.FILTER when the dryer is turned on as a reminder to check the filter. It turns off when the START/PAUSE button is pressed. If the button is pressed and the light doesn't turn off, unplug the unit and let it set for about 5 minutes to see if that will reset the reminder. If the issue persists, we would recommend checking the interior of the cabinet for any lint blockages. I hope this helps.

How to check/replace thermistor in this model.
Hello Fred, Thank you for contacting us. I have researched the model you have provided and have found the part you are looking for is PartSelect Number PS3529026. We have a How to Video on the site listed under the part number. We hope this helps.
Our dryer will not turn off. The only way is to open the door. As soon as we close it, it starts running again. What is the problem?
Hello Ransom, thank you for your question. We would recommend testing the following parts. Door Switch Part Number: PS3529308, Micro Switch Part Number: PS7321762, Drive Motor Part Number: PS3523290. If those parts are fine,the issue would be with one of the control boards. However, both of the boards for this unit have been discontinued by the manufacturer.

I actually went to mr fix it on u tube. Great instruction on how to take dryer apart. First I unplugged the dryer. I found I could reach the heating system by removing the lint tube in the back of the dryer. I put my I phone with the light on inside the back of the dryer and tested the connections to see if all were working. The thermal f
... Read moreuse was not working. I removed the two wires , red on top and white on the bottom. Then used a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the two mounting screws and removed the fuse. I then used a vacuum to clear any lint from the back of the dryer and inside the dryer. This took me about an hour and a half. I did it this way because I did not want to disassemble the entire dryer to get to the components. I received the fuse in 3 days and tested it. It was fine. I then put it in the dryer screwed it in place, connected the wires. Replaced the lint tube. This took about 10 minutes. Dryer is running great.

Found disassembly video and watched several times. Suspected that one of the drum wheels had seized up. Found extreme volume of lint and hair inside unit as well as a dryer sheet melted on top of heating unit. Front left drum wheel was worn down from lint and hair jamming its movement. Video made it easy, not a really complicated piec
... Read moree of machinery. Replaced all 4 wheels due to normal wear on other three. Wanted to be sure drum evenly balanced on all 4. Parts came quickly and were easy to install. My sister and I did this together. Would not recommend doing it alone. Took time to vac and wipe down entire unit. Now it runs so quiet we have to look to see if it is operating. Got a brand new machine out of it, saved a couple of hundred dollars in repair bills, and found 11 cents inside the machine. For your own piece of mind, if you have had your dryer for several years, you need to open it up and clean it out. Its not hard... added note, we are both in our 60's... so if we can do it so can you.... Such a feeling of accomplishment, can't buy that in a store....
