need door hinge
For model number WED72HEDW0
Hi Frank, thank you for contacting us. The door hinge for your model is part number PS11750410. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of help!
Hi Tamera, thank you for reaching out. We would suggest checking the lint filter for clogging first. If it is fine, the issue could be with the moisture sensor, part number PS11741408. It helps detect the amount of moisture in your clothes during the drying cycle. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!
My dryer no longer heats. Everything else on it works correctly. What needs to be fixed? Thanks!
For model number WED72HEDW0
Hello Seth, Thank you for contacting us. If your dryer is not heating, then we recommend checking the thermal fuse, internal bias thermostat, the high limit thermostat and thermal cut-off kit, the high limit thermostat, and the heating element and connection wire. You can test the parts with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, we have videos available to assist you. We have also included a link to our article on the dryer not heating, which has the multimeter readings. Good luck with your repair.
Hello Jim, thank you for your inquiry. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the drive belt, part number PS382430, to solve the problem. A malfunctioning drive belt can most probably cause this issue. We hope this helps!
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 moreneedle 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.

I started to repair this and got busy and ended up calling a repair service -- that was the first time. They repaired it for over $200 and said the cause was bad venting. I fixed the vent before using the fixed dryer but it blew again. So I ordered these parts and replaced them myself for a lot of savings. However, the dryer still ove
... Read morerheated. Through lots of testing I found the root cause the repairman missed: The heating element had gotten so hot that the assembly holding it warped, hitting the element and shorting it. So a new element is on order. I still needed the parts I ordered here but the overall repair ended up more complicated and expensive. I was disappointed a paid repair person left without further diagnosis. If he had unplugged the vent and checked the heat on the exhaust vent (as I ended up doing) it would have been obvious more than a new thermal fuse/thermistor was necessary. Instead I wasted over $200 on his visit. So my advice is if you're at all handy, repair this yourself. The dryer has a service manual inside the front toe board that walks you through most diagnostics and tests. However, it took a little more than that for me to discover the heating element problem. This was a very dangerous situation that could have easily led to a fire, yet not found by a trained technician!
