The drum won’t stop turning when the cycle is complete. We have to kill the power to the dryer to get it to stop. What part do i need to order, and can you provide any instruction to replace it?
Hello Kim, thank you for your question. This would be an issue with either the motor or the control board, I believe. The board is Part #: PS7792469 and the motor is PartSelect Number: PS3523290. We apologize, but we do not currently have installation instructions for these particular parts. I hope this helps.

Dryer stopped heating clothes.spins etc..but no heat
Hi Pete, thank you for reaching out. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the continuity of the following parts to fix the issue: thermal fuse, part number PS3530485, thermistor, part number PS16878105, blower thermostat, part number PS8747887, and the high limit thermostat, part number PS3530482. If the electrical path is present, you need to check the heating element, part number PS3527790. We hope this sorts out your problem!
Dryer operates fine, once cycle is selected. Cycle selection is the issue. The knob turns, but selector does not change. I have to push in/pull out while turning and eventually it will move 1 cycle. Please advise of the part to order.
Thank you.
Hi Jeff, thank you for reaching out. We would recommend checking the selector knob for any damage first. If it is fine, the issue is most probably with the display control board, part number PS7792492. It processes the cycle settings you choose. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope that helps!
The lint trap isn't catching all the lint and the lint that's collected collects on only one side of the trap. The trap isn't warped from what we can tell and it seats properly. Lint is bypassing the filter and ending up the exhaust. The flow sense light comes on about 20-30 minutes into each cycle. I can reset the light by stopping the cycle and restarting. The dryer will dry items but it takes several cycles. We've moved the dryer away from the wall and completely inspected the filter, the exhaust pipe and removed accumulated lint. After that, the dryer seemed to work normally for one load but even then, there didn't appear to be a typical amount of lint in the trap. Help please.
Hi Lisa,
Thank you for your question. If lint is bypassing the lint filter and going straight into the lint duct, we recommend checking the filter guide, part number PS3524628, and the lint cover guide, part number PS12368455. These parts may have come loose or are worn or damaged and they will need to be either properly secured or replaced. We hope this helps!

I actually went to mr fix it on u tube. Great instruction on how to take dryer apart. First I unplugged the dryer.

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....
