Our dryer is only 6 months old and the af light keeps coming on while the dyer is running.
For model number MEDB855DC4
Hello Rose, thank you for your question. An AF (Restricted Air Flow) error code indicates that the lint screen or vent is clogged; the vent may be crushed, kinked or have too many turns in it going from the dryer to the outside vent. We would recommend checking the lint filter, and venting tube to be sure there are no restrictions. I hope this helps.

Hello Ted, thank you for writing. Your issue sounds like there may be an electrical issue. The Main Harness is part PS12346174. We have a video on how to use a multimeter to test the wiring. We are pleased to have been able to help.
Wouldn’t dry. Replaced heating element since that tested bad. Fuse and thermostat tested ok. Still won’t dry. What’s next? Can new thermostat kill other parts after tested good or did I miss something else?

Hi Keith, thank you for the question. Since you have tested and replaced some of the most common parts, you may need to check the thermistor, part number PS11746740, which monitors the temperature of the burner or heater housing and will shut off the heat once a sufficient temperature is reached. If the thermistor is faulty, the dryer may not heat at all and you may need to replace this part. We hope this is what you were looking for!
Remove the kick plate from the bottom of the dryer by sliding a putty knife along the top edge to release the plastic clamps, one on each side about 4" in from the edges. The kick plate folds out and down. You will see the heat shield on the right, held in by one hex head screw. Remove screw and heat shield. The element is positioned in a
... Read moren open-front housing and is fastened to the left side of the housing by two hex head screws, located on the "rail" of the element and right near the two wires. Remove the hex-head screws that hold the element in place and disconnected the two wires by pulling them out by hand or with needle nose pliers. The only difficulty here is the cramped working area...I recommend a stubby socket driver for these two screws. Most of this I had to do by feel because I could not see the screw heads. Once the screws are out and the wires have been disconnected, slide the old element straight out toward you. You may need to disconnect a small plastic hose located to the left front of the element, but this hose just pulls right off. Vacume the dust & lint build-up out of the whole area, wipe out the element housing and clean up the whole underside of the dryer prior to installing the new element. Installation is reverse of removal. It also might be a good opportunity to clean out your exhaust duct and the vent to the outside. (Never use the aluminum foil-accordian-type duct.) If the exterior dryer vent has any kind of screen over it, remove it and get rid of it. Screens collect lint, lint builds up and burns out elements.
The issue was the idler pulley. First I began opening up the front panel based on a youtube video but soon realized the model was slightly different and required a lot more items to remove. I saw the pulley in the back with nothing in the way so I put the front panel crap back on and removed the rear panel. There it was, very simple to re
