Multi-Temp Cycling Thermostat with Internal Bias Heater WP307249

Hi William, thank you for your question. Looking at your model information there are a few parts that you should take out and test to see which one is giving you the issue. The first parts to check in this case would be all of your thermostats and thermal fuses. You can test those parts with a multi meter and they should be reading 0 ohms to be working correctly. If those parts are fine, you should then go on to testing your heating element as well. You can also test that with a multi meter and it should be reading between 0 - 50 ohms. Something else you should also check would be your filter and ducts. Make sure there is absolutely no blockage that would restrict air flow in your appliance. If all of those parts are fine then it may be your timer that is the issue. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hello William and thanks for writing. It sounds like your dryer is overheating. The heating element warms the air before the air enters the dryer drum. If the element is partially shorted out, it may produce heat continuously, even if the dryer has reached the proper temperature. When this happens, the dryer gets too hot and stops and has to cool down before you can restart it again. heating element # PS11740682, We hope this helps. Please contact us at any time

Hi Tim, Thank you for your question. You would test each terminal on this part with a multi meter. When testing the part, set your meter to the lowest setting. They should all read as zero. If your meter does not move at all, the part is bad and will need to be replaced. Good luck with your repair.

Hello Tom, Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: door switch kit, cycling thermostat, dryer timer, high limit thermostat, thermal fuse and the heating element. You can test the parts with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, there are YouTube videos available to assist you. Hope this helps!

Hello Keith, thank you for your question. You would test each terminal on this part with a multi meter. When testing the part, set your meter to the lowest setting. They should all read as zero.

Hello James, thank you for your question. We would recommend testing the other thermostats and fuses. Any time there is an over heating or under heating issue the problem is most always a thermostat. Those parts are Multi-Temp Cycling Thermostat with Internal Bias Heater PartSelect Number: PS11740684, Thermal Fuse (Limit: 183) PartSelect Number: PS11740678, and Thermal Fuse PartSelect Number: PS11740687. Testing these parts is very easy. Set your multimeter to the R X 1 setting. Take each of your meter's probes and touch one to each terminal. You are testing for continuity, and you should receive a reading of either zero or infinity. At room temperature, testing the thermostat should produce a reading of zero. But if a thermostat is tested when it is heated to its limit, a reading of infinity should be produced. We strongly recommend that you test your thermostat at room temperature. If the test you conduct with your thermostat does not produce these results, then you should replace the component. I hope this helps!

Hello Terry, thank you for your inquiry. According to our research, the issue is most probably with the cycling thermostat, part number PS11740684. It monitors and regulates the temperature inside the dryer. It should have continuity on all the terminal. If any of the terminal has no continuity, this means that the thermostat is faulty and needs to be replaced. We hope this information helps!
