Duet dryer shuts off and just says sensing
For model number GEW9250PW1
Hello Shane, Thank you for the question. I suggest testing the Moisture Sensor Wire Harness PartSelect Number: PS11741707 and the Moisture Sensors PartSelect Number: PS11741408 with a multi meter to check for continuity. Hope this helps!
My Whirlpool duet dryer was working fine one day, later went in and the light comes on in the dryer when door is open but no lights on control panel and will not work at all.

Hello Rusty, Thank you for the question. This is normally an indication the Electronic Control Board is defective and may need to be replaced. We hope this helps!
I am trying to repair a Whirlpool duet dryer. The dryer runs but the control panel lights almost all of the possible settings and some settings don't work at all. Nonetheless it will run albeit not normally. I ordered a control panel from your company thinking that is what i needed. Now that i am getting ready to do the repar i see that what i have is the actual control board for the front of the machine and not the separate control panel which apparently is no longer available through you. Given the fact that the machine does run, is the problem likely the front control panel rather than the separate electronic control panel? I don't want to replace the wrong electronic panel if i can avoid it particularly in light of the expense of the front control panel. Any advice at this point would be much appreciated. I do not wish to proceed further until i know that i am replacing the right item. Thank you ver much. Jeff

Hello and thank you for writing.
This is hard to diagnose without testing it, however take a look at the old board and look for shorts burn mark, this way you might be able to establish which board is the faulty one. There is, unfortunately, no guarantee to tell if replacing one board but not the other is going to solve this problem. If the machine runs and you can work without the panel part it might be a consideration to just leave it be and when something else breaks to replace the unit, or it might be a good idea to bring in a technician to diagnose the boards for you as fixing a good unit is cheaper than buying a new one. We hope this information helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

Control locked light is on and can not start dryer
For model number GEW9250PW1
Hello William, Thank you for the question. This could be an issue with the Door Switch with Wire, PartSelect Number PS11745635. This part is what tells the dryer to stop running when the door is open. Hope this helps!
Dryer shuts off and it says sensing. Will not run. I went through troubleshooting guide and one step says turn on diagnostic, open door and lay a wet cloth across the sensors on lint trap. When doing this it shows a fault, I think it was 03. Directions said to clean the metal tabs with alcohol which I did to no avail. I can say that the dryer has been shitting off early with the clothes still damp for the last few months.

Hi Shane, I could not find any more information on these symptoms, I would refer back to the troubleshooting guide and see if there are more tests you can do or contact the manufacturer directly. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!
First I unplugged the dryer, then removed the back panel, this exposed most all of the wiring and I could see the heater coils. Not knowing what the problem was I started looking at the coils and could not see any broken parts. So then checked the thermal fuse for continuity I removed the two wires from it with a small pair of needle nose pliers, it was held in place by two screws, once they were removed the fuse came out easily, I checked continuity with a volt meter placing the meter on X1 Ohms and could not get a reading. I replaced with a new one and put it all back together the way I took it apart. Then I plugged it in and it worked first time, I now have warm dry clothes.
Cleaning the lint out of the whole machine took quite a bit of time--it was everywhere. Underneath the lint trap was a collection that ultimately ruined the thermal fuse where it restricted the air flow considerably.
Ascertaining the problem was the most time consuming part.
The actual repair was quite simple and didn't take but 15-20 minutes.
Received your parts, Popped them both right into place, Even though only one side needed to be replaced, I wanted them to match up. It was amazing how easy this was. My husband was quite impressed I had ordered these rather then look for either a new or used dryer from some other source.
