Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.
Dryer will not start. No light in tub for tub.
Process of elimination. Replaced heating element and high limit heat thermostat . Replaced door button switch and timer. Still not working. Replaced control thermostat, and still not working. Purchased ohm meter and checked thermal fuse that comes with high limit kit. Bad thermal fuse. Replaced thermal fuse that comes with kit. Dryer now has tub light and working fine. Learning to use an ohm meter really helps, and will save you a lot of frustration.

dryer not working at all
through the help of Parts select web site, i diagnosed the problem to the limit switch at the dryer element...I found the parts at Parts Select that included both limit switches and one control thermostat in one convient part number, the help videos are excellent, and the repair went flawlessly... basically the dryer front was removed, and then the drum with belt, that allowed me to get to both dryer element limit switches,and then replaced the thermostat at the bottom of the dryer below the drum, I reassembled the unit and it is working like new... thanks Parts Select, you saved me a lot of money.

Dryer works just not heating!
Not being able to afford a new dryer we bought this dryer second hand, picked it up from the seller, moved it up a flight of stairs, plugged it in to find that it worked but didn't heat. We were so devastated and we just left it sit for a week or two because there was no time to deal with fixing it. During that time I continued to use the laundromat down the street to dry our clothes. Finally I got online to google the part number to see what I could find out and that's when I ran across this site. It gave me HOPE and all that I needed to know to fix it instead of hauling it back down those stairs and out of my life!!! First I bought an OHM meter, completely stripped down my dryer checking every part until I found one that was questionable (timer resistor assembly) and one that was definitely dead (a thermostat)...no reading! It's no wonder it was burnt out, the front cover of the dryer was impacted with lint that had no where else to go! Now I understand exactly why my mother & dad always reminded us to "clean out the lint filter". They must have gone through this once before themselves. I ordered the replacement parts late one evening and they showed up at my door by 2:00 pm the next day...it was awesome!!!!!! A big learning experience for me and it saved me a fortune. THANK YOU PartSelect, I couldn't have done it without you!!!!

dryer did not run at all
removed heating element, thermostat, and then replaced fuse. sorry, the control thermostat was not the problem. it was the fuse kit that failed. the control thermostat would have been easier to replace.

Dryer would not start, no enterior light operation
I down loaded the dryer schematic and itentified items that would potentially cause the observed symptoms. Initially, I replaced the thermal fuse. After the symptoms returned after two loads, suspected the hi limit thermostat not regulating the heater element temperature. I located the thermostat using the illustrated parts list on your website and replaced the thermal fuse (second time) and the thermostats using a nut driver. The Blond hasn't announced a dryer stoppage since the repair, so I'm pronouncing the repair a success. Thank you for making the drawings and schematics available.

Dryer would not heat.
First I unplugged the dryer and slid it a few inches out from the wall. I slid 2 putty knives in the front top about 3 inches in from the sides. Released the top and raised it up. I used a multimeter to test the hi limit and the element, both were operational. I used a screwdriver to remove the 2 screws that hold the front panel in place. I lowered the panel slightly and disconnected the wires mentally noting the proper placement. With the front panel on the floor, the problem was obvious. I cleaned the lint clog under the lint screen that had caused the issue to begin with.I used a shop vac and cleaned the vent area as well as the front panel. I used a nut driver to remove the 2 screws that held the thermostat in place. The old thermostat fell apart in my hands. I covered the bare exposed wires with electrical tape. ( must have gotten HOT) and reattached the connections to the new thermostat, then replaced the 2 screws that held it secure. I stood the front panel back up and reattached the electrical connections and the 2 screws. I lowered the top and plugged it back into the outlet. I turned it on. It works like new.

Heating element comes on only for about ten seconds when you first turn on the dryer. Will not stay on.
For model number PYE2300AYW

Hi David, Thank you for your question. There are a couple of parts that you may want to test to see if they are working. You should take a look at all of your thermostats. This part, and also your high limit thermostat, and the ones in your high limit kit. If any of these parts are malfunctioning they will be reading an unsafe temperature inside of your appliance. Causing the heating element to shut off fro safety reason. You should also test your door switch as well. It could be that it is not working correctly. When this part is malfunctioning, the machine thinks that the door is opening in the middle of the cycle and will not continue to run or heat up for safety reasons. All of these parts can be tested with a multi-meter. Good luck and I hope this helps!

Dryer issue. I'll load my dryer with some clothing then turn timer to let say 40 mins. It'll run for 5-10 mins then stops. It quits running. Here is the problem, I go back and push the timer knob to start the dryer and it make a humming- errrr noise. Now if I continue pressing the start knob 3, 4, or more time it still makes the same noise then it goes silent, nothing no noise and I do smell something and that something is coming from were the motor is. Question? Could it be the control thermostat or the cycling thermostat or(t-stat cycle) as they call it. Help please.

Hi Vince, Thank you for the question. Most times if the dryer stops it is due to over heating. I suggest checking the vents to the outside to make sure there is nothing blocking it. The vent hose needs to lay flat, with no dips or kinks as it can cause lint and condensation build up and restrict the air flow. You can test the High Limit Kit, PartSelect Number PS2162282 for continuity after the vent is checked and the Control Thermostat, PartSelect Number PS11740707. While checking these items it is a good idea to clean out any lint build up inside the cabinet and in the lint duct where the filter fits into.Hope this helps!

We would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: heating element, timer switch, timer resistor assembly, control thermostat, the blower assembly, and seals. 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!

The Thermostat Control Unit on my is 31001088 rated at 120V. I see this is rated at 240V. Will I have any issues with this unit?
For model number PYET444AYW
PartSelect logo
Hi Christopher, thank you for reaching out. We have researched and found that both the control thermostat and the cycling thermostat are different and operate on their specific voltage rating. You may install the cycling thermostat, part number PS11740707, and it will work perfectly. We hope this information helps!
