Dryer makes a high squilling noise. Sometimes intermittent other times constant.
For model number WED5600XW0
Hello, Thank you for your question. Typically that is caused from a worn belt- PartSelect Number: PS11722115. You will need to look into this and possible replace it. We hope this helps.

I need to replace the door switch but i cannot figure out how to get the top off. The videos i have watched are for different models and do not look like my model. I could not figure out how the top was attached from the parts drawings i have seen. Thanks for any help you can provide.
For model number wed5600xw0
Hi Steve, thank you for your question. Much like in this installation video: https://youtu.be/95sXlRjCsXw. You would have to pop the clips that are holding your top to the rest of the cabinet. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Dryer restarts after the cycle is done.
For model number WED5600XW0
Hello and thank you for writing.
rinkle Guard is a cycle created to help alleviate wrinkles from setting into clothing. If you are unable to remove a load immediately, press Wrinkle Shield™ or Wrinkle Guard option to add from 30 to 140 minutes of periodic tumbling to help reduce wrinkling. On models with Wrinkle Shield™ with Steam, a short steam cycle is added after 60 minutes to help smooth out wrinkles.
The Wrinkle Shield™ cycle works when the normal drying cycle has ended. In other words, the dryer will turn off, then turn back on for 15 - 30 seconds, approximately every 5 to 10 minutes. This may appear that the dryer is turning back on by itself. Depending on how long your model allows, this could continue for up to 140 minutes. It will continue to turn off and turn on for the duration of the Wrinkle Shield™ setting. This is normal. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

Dryer was working, but no heat.
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 ... Read more 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.

No heat but would run otherwise
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 did ... Read more n't take but 15-20 minutes.
