Hello Fernand, thank you for the question. The part number for the compatible knob is PS11738143. We hope this is what you were looking for!
Dryer starts okay, gets warm, but stops early after a few minutes with the clothes still wet. No lint blockages or anything obvious like that.
All controls and buttons work.
What does that imply for parts to change?
Thanks!

Hi Alan, thank you for contacting us. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking the moisture sensor, part number PS11741408, to solve the problem. We hope that helps!
When starting the cycle for my dryer, everything appears to be functioning properly at first. But then, it only spins for about 3-5 seconds before stopping. It will try to start again within a few minutes, and again only spin for about 3-5 seconds. After that the estimated time on the display will drop to either 3 or 1 minute remaining before it says the cycle is done. Could this be a faulty motor?
For model number YWED72HEDW0
Hi Brad, thank you for reaching out. Yes, a malfunctioning drive motor, part number PS12723927, could be the issue, and its replacement might resolve the issue. A malfunctioning drive motor can overheat quickly, even in the first few seconds of a cycle, triggering the safety switch. The motor will then restart once it cools down, explaining why the cycle might briefly attempt to start again. 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!
