Will not dry completely, before stopping and showing E-64 code.
Hi Dean,
Thank you for your question. The E64 error code refers to an open heating element circuit. You will need to unplug the dryer and check the wire harness connections between the electronic control board and the heating element. Reconnect any loose wires and replace the wire harness if damaged. Inspect the heating element for damage and replace the element if broken. If you see no visible damage to the heating element, test it for continuity using a multi-meter. If the heating element is electrically open, replace it. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

The rotating knob on the control panel does not allow us to set the dryer to the type of clothes in the dryer drum. With repeating the rotation many times we can reach the right setting. I think i need a new control panel.
Hello Jim, Thank you for your inquiry. The knob actually attaches to the electronic control board and if it is now allowing you to set the dryer settings, it could be the control board. Good luck with your repair.
I have a EF1 code on my dryer and the vents and screens are all clean/ not clogged. Google says I need a thermistor but I'm having trouble finding that part for my specific model. Is it another part that I need?
Hello Nora, thank you for your inquiry. According to our research, this error code indicates that the temperature regulation in the dryer is not correct. You may need to replace the thermistor, part number PS2349280, to solve the problem. We hope that helps!
Hello Donna, thank you for your query. Based on our research, the E51 error indicates a short circuit detected in the motor power triac due to a faulty motor, defective wiring, or the electronic board not functioning properly. You may need to check the electronic control board, part number PS10057456, to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!
Grinding type noise at start of cycle and goes away a few seconds later but cycle doesn’t sound smooth as usual
Hello Justin, thank you for your inquiry. Based on our understanding of the issue, we would recommend checking the drum support roller and axle, part number PS12746506. The dryer drum roller holds the drum in place while it rotates on the dryer support wheels. If rollers are worn out, the dryer will be noisy. Glad to be of help!

When I described the noise to a YouTube appliance diagnostician, I was directed to check the felt seals front and back of the rotating drum for wear, tears, or foreign objects. As it happens the felt seals looked find and there were foreign objects so, not wanting to disassemble and reassemble the dryer more than I had, I ended up replac
... Read moreing all the replaceable moving parts that I considered possible culprits: The idler tension spring, the idler tension bracket (which includes a nylon pulley wheel), the drum belt, the five rubber-tipped bearings that support the drum and keep it in place, and the foam seal on the blower housing which seemed a little brittle and old, as well as high-temperature adhesive for the latter. The instructional videos here and on YouTube were extremely helpful (I doubt that I would have attempted this job at all, had I not watched these ahead of time). The most time-consuming aspect was waiting for the arrival of the parts as I didn't order them all at the same time or all from the same place (I ordered from whomever could ship me a given part the fastest. Disassembly took less than an hour. Re-assembly with the new parts in place took about the same but was a little more awkward because this appliance sits in a very narrow closet and it's difficult to ensure that the 4" flexible duct stays in place when sliding the appliance back into the closet. No regrets. Now I know the basics if this dryer needs attention in future and I also know all the parts that I can eliminate as suspects in any future maintenance (the parts that I replaced)
Dryer wasn't heating properly, drying took too long.
